1.2 Valuable Facts about MultiFlow
The MultiFlow has been developed according
to the latest state of technology, incorporating
many years of experience in the application of
electronic metering.
Due to standardization of electronic metering
devices within the European Union
development is taking place strictly to the
latest regulations for the approval of meters
for W & M regulated applications within the
EU (OIML R117). This guarantees that the
MultiFlow will fulfil the present and also future
legal requirements for meters for applications
subject to Weights & Measures inspection.
Apart from the display with text output, which
has now become a standard, the MultiFlow
development includes the following features:
•
The MultiFlow has one pulse input for a 2-
channel pulse transmitter. The output
switching stage of the pulse transmitter
(PNP, NPN or F. A. Sening two-wire THS
pulse transmitter) can be set on the
MultiFlow using software (Parameter).
•
The printer interface (RS-232, RS-422 or
RS-485) is set to the desired type of
connection by software. Since the setting
here is also using SW, there are no
jumpers or links to be set.
•
All switching outputs are electronically
protected against short circuit. The
affected output becomes operational again
once the short circuit is removed. It is not
necessary to change any fuses
•
An economical data interface from the
vehicle to the office is provided by the use
of an industry-compatible chip-card reader.
The reading device conforms to IP65 class
of protection and is implemented in the
intrinsically safe type of explosion
protection. The reader can therefore be
also used in Ex areas without any special
protective measures.
•
The MultiFlow has four intrinsically safe
inputs for the connection of switches for
use in Ex areas without special protective
measures.
•
The MultiFlow communicates to other
FAS-devices via the CAN Bus system
which has become a standard on motor
vehicles.
•
The printer can be connected without a
special interface.
•
A feature of the MultiFlow is its compact
design (also in the AI version) which saves
costs and weight.
•
When changing the program, it is no longer
necessary to open up the device to change
the EPROM. The new program is simply
transferred from a Personal Computer into
the MultiFlow via the printer interface.
•
Switches and jumpers within the device
have been eliminated in order to make the
MultiFlow easy to install and configure. All
settings on the communication interface
are carried out by software. Therefore,
there is the possibility of connecting the
most varied types of printer interface to the
MultiFlow printer output.
•
Operation is menu-guided and all output is
shown in plain text.
•
Operation is available in a number of
languages. Three languages are
permanently installed as standard.
