3 Description

3.1 Process connectors

The process connectors provided for FMT200-ECO2 (Sensyflow eco2) ensure user-specific utilization

without extra mounting costs.

Furthermore, they enable easy installation and removal of the measurement sensor for maintenance and

cleaning purposes.

3.2 Measuring sensor

Apart from the sensor unit, the measuring sensor, which is set up as a pipe, also contains the transformer

electronics. This is mainly made up of the passive part of the differential temperature controller for the

sensor elements, a memory for customer-specific parameters, the cable connector, calculation modules

for generating flow-dependent data and an LED for signaling current unit states

Installation and start-up

42/14-41 EN Thermal Mass Flowmeter FMT200-ECO2 9

4 Installation and start-up

4.1 Checking the preconditons

Accompanying every measuring system is a calibration certificate, containing all the important informa-

tion (e.g. serial number, calibrated measuring range, order number, adjusted outputs at time of delivery).

Please ascertain if this data corresponds to the requirements of the measuring point in question.

4.2 Selecting the installation site

• For ambient temperatures see section on "Technical Features".

• The mounting position is arbitrary.

• To prevent negative effects on measurement accuracy, sufficient straight upstream length is required

when small flange connectors DN 25, Transair, G 3/4" and G 1" are used. These entry lengths ensure

elimination of flow profile irregularies before they reach the measuring point at the sensor.

• Use straight, smooth pipes with lengths of approx. 10 × D for the steadying lengths on the input side. If

using the G 1/2" and G 3/8" adapters, no extra steadying lengths will be required, as flow stabilizing

components have been installed on the inflow sides of the adapters. The flow straightener causes an

increased pressure drop.

• Components affecting flow, such as valves or shut-off fittings should be possibly installed behind the

measuring point.

☎

Should there be any uncertainty or questions regarding the measuring point to be selected, please con-

tact the ABB Service Team in Alzenau.

5.1 Cable assignments

Table 5-1

5.2 Circuiting the signal outputs

5.2.1 Analog output

Upon selection, the analog output of the current output supplies an active signal of 0(4)...20 mA, i.e. the

FMT200-ECO2 (Sensyflow eco2) device supplies the current independently. For this reason, do not use

a 2-wire power supply unit or an active input of a PLC, but rather a passive signal receiver.

5.2.2 Digital output

Active digital output wiring

The output current in the HIGH-mode must be limited to 1 mA when the active digital output is used (pas-

sive signal receiver). This is to ensure an output voltage U

> 15 V.

Passive digital output wiring

Using the passive output (active signal receiver), the output current in the LOW-mode must be limited to

– 20 mA. This is to ensure an output voltage U

< 2.5 V.

5.2.3 Replacement of Sensyflow eco1 measuring systems

Sensyflow eco1 and FMT200-ECO2 (Sensyflow eco2) are compatible. Using the appropriate electrical

adapter, FMT200-ECO2 can be connected to existing plants. As "interface" and "digital output" function-

ality is not available with Sensyflow eco1, there is no wiring within the adapter for these functions.

6.3.4 Actual settings: Digital output

6.3.5 Actual settings: Analog output

The analog output represents the actual measured value. This analog output can be modified in many

ways.

You can see the actual settings on this card.

Fig. 6-11

– Option pulse

In this mode the FMT200-ECO2 (Sensyflow

eco2) is counting the flow which has passed the

sensor. Value represents the totalized flow,

equivalent to one impulse of adjusted length with

polarity HIGH or LOW.

– Option frequency

In this operation mode the momentaneous mea-

suring value is represented by an equivalent fre-

quency. The lower limits of the frequency means

zero flow, the upper limit 100% of the adjusted

measuring range.

– Option switch

In this mode a contact will be closed or opened

if the measuring value exceeds the adjusted lim-

its. Polarity can be HIGH or LOW.

Fig. 6-12

Range full scale value:

actual full scale value (adjustable).

Upper range value:

maximum measuring range, that means the instru-

ment is calibrated up to this point. It is not possible

to select ranges higher than this value.

Measured value:

actual measurement result shown in the chosen

unit.

Selected output:

Which electrical analog output is active?

Analog output:

actual measuring value as analog signal (mA or V).

Output at error:

FMT200-ECO2 signalizes an error at the analog

output.

Filter factor:

time constant of the damping.

Offset suppression:

Measuring values smaller than the adjusted one

will be shown as zero flow.

6.3.7 The configuration menu

If you change parameter settings by using the configuration software and copy them into the FMT200-

ECO2 (Sensyflow eco2) by using the menu point „save“, the system switches to a save-/initialisation-

mode and the pilot light flashes RED.

Important The supply voltage must not be turned off during the transmission of modified parameters in this

save-/initialization phase.

Only if the control LED shows „permanent green“ again, the supply voltage may be turned off.

Otherwise the modified set of parameters will not be saved correctly. This will cause a self-test error dur-

ing the next start-up procedure of the device, showing „permanent red“ at the control LED. The device

will not work properly in this condition.

– Troubleshooting

Despite red shining control LED, communication via configuration software can be re-established by ex-

ecuting the menu „save“ once again. Here you have to wait until the symbol for „program activity“ expires

and the status indication for initialization phase ends.

The control LED still shows permanent red after the procedure. Now, by short interruption of the supply

voltage a hardware-reset will be performed. After this, the control LED turns to permanent green and the

device works properly.

Fig. 6-13

The relation between the actual measured value

and the adjusted full-scale range is shown as bar

graph.

With active „switch output“, the alarm limits are dis-

played additionally. Measuring values between the

adjusted limits result in a bar graph displayed in

green. Values exceeding the up turn the bar graph

color to red.

Values below the lower limit cause a blue bar

graph.

6.3.7.1 Password

This function allows a password protection of the analog and digital output register cards. As long as this

function is active, analog and digital output parameter settings can only be made after entering the correct

password.

The „actual settings“ page, that is used to check the device, is visible in any case.

6.3.7.2 Add new unit

Example:

The new unit should be „air-balloons/min“.

One Balloon includes 7 standard-liter air, this is 0,007 standard-m³-air.

With the standard density of air = 1,293 kg/Nm³ one air-balloon is filled with 0,00905 kg.

That means 1 kg/h is approx. 110 air-balloons/h, or 1,84 air-balloons/min.

The standard density is related to 0°C, 1013 mbar.

With „delete unit“ at the configuration menu, you can delete the new unit.

If you plan to create a new unit, you have to calcu-

late the factor of the new unit as a multiple of the

mass flow in kg/h.

6.4 Analog output parameter settings

This page allows parameter settings of the analog output. For a better overview, the actual and the new

parameters are both shown.

The new settings will be sent to the FMT200-ECO2 (Sensyflow eco2) when the save-command is select-

ed from the „save data“ menu.

After saving the data the FMT200-ECO2 (Sensyflow eco2) will initialize itself. During this save-initializa-

tion phase, the LED is blinking red and no measuring values will be sent.

(Please refer to chapter 6.3.7 “The configuration menu” on page 18 for further information.)
