502 010 07 1 General information Introduction The PD 340 Flow Transmitter is a precision meter for the volumetric measurement of liquids that are electrically conducting. The rugged construction of the transmitter makes it suitable for installations where solid par- ticulates make up part of the liquid for measurement.
502 010 07 Construction The PD 340 Flow Transmitter consists of three parts: The meterhead, the electronic module, and the terminal box. The electronic module and the terminal box are the same for all sizes of transmitter. The Meterhead consists of a stainless metering pipe with clamp connections. Two magnet coils are mounted external to the metering pipe.

(see details in the next chapter, Reducing the influence of varying flow profiles). Practical tests with the PD 340 confirm that it is not necessary to recalibrate the meter when changing product, such as from water to milk. This would normally be necessary when using magnetic flowmeters that have traditional round measuring chambers.
Measures over The average measurement is achieved in a PD 340 by using a the entire cross square measurement chamber, where each of the two electrodes are section of the designed to measure across the complete cross section of flow.
During the flow calibration at the factory, the linearizing curve is calculated and downloaded to the electronic module. For this reason, all new PD 340 Flow Transmitters will hold the data needed by the linearizing function, when they are delivered as complete meters, i.e. meter- head and electronic module.
Output2, opens the dosing valve or starts a pump. When the setpoint volume is reached, the output is switched off and the valve is closed or the pump stops. The Volume2 counter shows the dosed volume (see also the Batch control application example). Manual Flow Transmitter, PD 340 11/59...
Error free measurement signal. The output signal is ON if no error is present. The output may be controlled directly via P-NET. (See configuration of function selector Further details for connecting Output2 can be found in Chapter 5.3.1 Output2. 12/59 Flow Transmitter, PD 340 Manual...
Fur- thermore the PD 210 display unit may be used to change setpoint values and to perform a complete configuration of the Flow Transmitter (see description in Chapter 3). Manual Flow Transmitter, PD 340 13/59...
502 010 07 3 Display Various options are available for displaying information from the PD 340 Flow Transmitter. The Flow Transmitter may be controlled and supervised via the P-NET interface (requires the ex- tended version), and all data may then be accessed. Another solution is to connect a local PD 210 display unit to the Flow Transmitter.

Flowmeter-Display, PD 4000/340 The Flowmeter-Display is based on a PD 4000 P-NET Controller and is designed to display data from PD 340 Flow Transmitters. Furthermore it is possible to change data and to select various functions in the Flow Transmitters.
This applies to any flow transmitter on the market. However, it is possible to use the PD 340 even at very low flow rates, whilst still obtaining high accuracy. Flow measurement down to 1 % of maximum flow rate for the Flow Transmitter is now possible...

The Flow Transmitter supply should always be connected, as heat developed in the electronic module prevents any condensation, which could damage the transmitter. The transmitter should therefore be powered up as soon as possible after mounting. Manual Flow Transmitter, PD 340 21/59...
The output is protected with a zener diode and a current-limiting resistor in the same way as the pulse outputs. Furthermore, the output is isolated from the internal elec- tronics by a transformer.

PD 210 display: not accessible P-NET SWNo 0: SerialNo This register contains a production serial number, which is set by PROCES-DATA and can- not be changed. This serial number is printed on the electronic module. The serial number is used for service purposes and as a 'key' to set the P-NET node address for the Flow Transmitter.

The reason for the flow limitations for flow transmitter sizes C 51 through C 102 is that measuring in litres leads to a signal on Output2 for each single litre. Thus litre measurement setting is a bad solution, if the intention is to use Output2 for pulses. Manual Flow Transmitter, PD 340 41/59...
502 010 07 7 3-phase output signals The PD 340 Flow Transmitter in extended version can be configured to drive 3-phased out- put signals. The configuration makes the Flow Transmitter act like a mechanical flowmeter. The 3-phase output signals may be used in three different modes. Below is a brief overview prior to more comprehensive explanations later in this chapter: ...

The flow direction is indicated by the up/down signal and the pulse frequency indicates the flow rate. An error in the Flow Transmitter will open all 3 output signals (high-impedance state). See the signal diagram below. 44/59 Flow Transmitter, PD 340 Manual...

12.1 Memory types The PD 340 stores data in different types of memory depending on the value of a control variable following a reset or a power failure, and the state of the write protection. Some variables are stored in both non-volatile memory and in volatile memory. The state of the module's Program enable switch determines whether the contents are changed in both types of memory or only in the volatile type.
