Functions

8.11 Custom unit

The time of the acknowledgement is shown in the Alarm History Log (menu item 3.2.4) as
long as the history log is not cleared.
● Auto: The alarm is removed from the alarm list when the cause is removed (going)
8.11 Custom unit
Units can be defined/customized for all process values. This function can be used if the
wanted unit cannot be found in the list of units.
Custom unit is defined in menu 2.8.1X.1 and the unit text and factor are defined in menu
items 2.8.1X.1.1 and 2.8.10.1.2.
The unit factor for volumeflow is based on m
based on m
The custom unit can be selected in the unit parameter menu item 2.2.2.1 for volumeflow and
in menu items 2.3.1.2, 2.3.2.2 and 2.3.3.2 for totalizers.

SensorFlash

SensorFlash is a high-performance micro SD card (1 GB) with the ability to be updated by
inserting it in a PC. It is supplied with each sensor with the complete set of certification
documents including calibration report. Material, pressure test, factory testing and order
conformance certificates are optional at ordering.
The Siemens SensorFlash memory unit offers a permanent database with backup of all
parameter settings.
The SensorFlash supports copy and transfer of user settings from one flowmeter to another
to simplify commissioning. Only setup parameters are copied; no data are changed in the
receiving flowmeter.
Copy settings from the SensorFlash to the flowmeter in menu item 3.3.6 (Copy Setups). The
new settings are automatically stored on the original SensorFlash when it is replaced in the
transmitter, see How do I copy application setup from one device to another? (Page 192).

Simulation

Simulation is used for testing purposes, typically for checking that the readings of the control
system are correct.
The simulation can be activated in HMI (menu item 3.7) or via SIMATIC PDM in the
parameter "Enable Simulation".
