Manual address selection
Assuming the default baud rate and parity match the fieldbus configuration, the fieldbus address can be quickly set using the
manual address selector
8
· With value 0, the instrument uses the digital address setting
· Values from 1 to 9 override the digital setting
3.2.2 Changing fieldbus settings (Ethernet)
Upon delivery, the Ethernet sockets are configured for PROFINET communication, unless specified otherwise at ordering
·
time.
· In a PROFINET network, an IP address is assigned to the instrument by the Ethernet master.
If necessary, use Bronkhorst FlowSuite to select the required communication interface and configure address assignment.
·
· Preferably connect the instrument with Bronkhorst FlowSuite through the support interface or the Bluetooth wireless
connection.
If, for some reason, Bronkhorst FlowSuite is not available, see section
·
· A USB connection on the support interface provides sufficient power for instrument configuration and monitoring
only.
· Configuration using a Bluetooth wireless connection requires powering the instrument through the power
connector or support interface.
Manual address selection
For Ethernet based protocols other than PROFINET, the 3 manual address selectors can be used to assign an address to the
instrument (IP/Node ID/Station alias; again, only if Bronkhorst FlowSuite is not available).
For information about setting the instrument address using the address selectors, refer to the
according communication protocol
MAC address
Because the IP address is set on the device (either dynamic or fixed), it is not necessarily always the same. To be able to track a
device in a network with a fixed reference, Ethernet devices also have a MAC address, which cannot be changed and is globally
unique. The MAC address is stated on a label affixed to the FLEXI-FLOW.
3.2.3 Fluid selection
Fluid sets or mixtures can be stored using Bronkhorst FlowSuite or by direct digital communication (e.g. using a custom-built
(PLC) program). To define a fluid set or mixture, only the formula of the required gas needs to be entered in the appropriate
parameter. The associated conversion parameters are filled in automatically.
Whether carried out in Bronkhorst FlowSuite or with direct digital communication, fluid and mixture definition are virtually
identical:
To define a fluid set:
1. Select the required Fluid Set Index.
2. Enter the formula of the required gas into parameter Fluid Name (case-sensitive).
To define a mix component:
1. Select the required Fluid Set Index.
2. Select the required Mix Component Index.
3. Enter the formula of the required gas into parameter Mix Component Fluid Name (case-sensitive).
