Flow Meter

Top  Previous  Next

**

This element has to be assigned to a pipe or a pipe like element by positioning it on the line. You do not need to be very precise because by starting the simulation all flow meters are checked and should the occasion arise shifted to the next pipe after further inquiry.

 

The flow meter can measure the flow per time and the integrated flow. If it measures the integrated flow the PLC-Word will only be modified incremental, that means you can overwrite the value with the PLC, e.g., to perform a reset.

 

If you use flanges you will have to raise the there described factor eventually to be able to execute a satisfactory flow messurement.
