4.3 Advanced start-up
4.3.1 Changing the application setting
The FLOWSIC100 supports measuring on two measuring paths at the same time and then
calculating and outputting one common measured value
p. 14, 2.2.2. This requires
2 sender/receiver units per measuring path or one measuring probe each
»Installation«
(page 78). The necessary settings are usually made at the factory. If this is not the case (e.g.
if existing devices are retrofitted), carry out the following procedure:
Open the device file "MCU", set the measuring system to "Maintenance" mode and
enter the Level 1 password (
p. 126, 4.2).
Select directory ‘‘Configuration / Application Selection”. The basic type of the sender/
receiver unit connected is displayed in the "Connected Variant" window (field "Applica-
tion setting").
Click "Save selection" to assign to the MCU.
Fig. 122 Setting the MCU to the sender/receiver unit
The sender/receiver unit must be connected to the MCU.
● Per default, all measuring paths have the same weighting in the calculation
of the output value (for changing the weighting, see Service Manual).
● The FLOWSIC100 has a function for automatic path compensation should
one measuring path in a 2-path configuration fail
p. 15, 2.2.3.
● Setting parameters for application settings can also be done via the LC-
Display
