Operating Instructions, 03/2012, A5E03361511-01
S7/PCS7 or third party automation systems
– Channel 1: Current output with HART (can be used for safety critical applications level
SIL 2 with one flowmeter or SIL 3 with dual-redundant flowmeters)
– Channel 2: Signal output; can be parameterized for:
Current output (0/4-20 mA)
Pulse output
Frequency output
One-stage dosing output
Two-stage dosing output
Alarm, status, flow direction
– Channels 3 and 4: Signal output (as channel 2)
Pulse or frequency redundancy mode (only channel 3)
– Channels 3 and 4: Relay output; can be parameterized as:
One-stage dosing output
Two-stage dosing output
Alarm, status, flow direction
– Channels 3 and 4: Signal input; can be parameterized as:
Dosing control
Totalizer control (resetting of totalizers)
Zero adjustment
Setting or freezing a frequency at the digital outputs if these are set to 'Frequency'
