Measurement and control functions

Consumption
Input signal
The consumption value is based on the prepared measured flow value. The value is prepared according
to the parameters "Unit Consumption" (P8.4-8.5) and "Unit Flow standard" (P8.6-8.7) and made avail
able as an input signal (Em.1).
If there is a change to the parameter values "Unit Flow" or "Unit Flow standard", the
measured consumption value is reset to the value "0".
If there is a change to the parameter value "Unit Consumption", the current measured
consumption value is saved and is converted to the new consumption unit.
Consumption measurement
Consumption measurement is controlled using two data bits in the output word Am.0. Consumption
measurement is started, continued or stopped using the "Consumption measurement control bit" out
put (Am.0.12). The measured consumption value can be reset to the value "0" using the "Reset con
sumption measurement" output (Am.0.13).
Monitoring of parameters
The parameters "Unit Flow", (P8.2-8.3), "Unit Flow standard" (P8.6-8.7) and "Unit Consumption"
(P8.4-8.5) are checked on entry for permitted values. In case of error, the appropriate error message is
output if parameterisation error monitoring is activated (P0.7).
