Type 8745 Configuration with Bürkert Communicator The sensor measures the mass flow rate and compares the measured value x with the set-point value w. The device calculates the set-point position value y of the actuator. • If the actuator is a control valve, then the set-point position value y determines the opening of the control valve.
On a Industrial Ethernet variant it is possible to alternatively change the related object. Refer to the related procedure in the device-specific help in the documentation of the initiation files. Download the initiation files and the related documentation at country.burkert.com. The setting of the parameter Set-point value source is kept after a restart, except when the device performs the function Analyze system or the set-point value source was set to manual set-point.
Type 8745 Configuration with Bürkert Communicator The possible choices for the parameter Set-point value source are: • Variant Analogue: Analog set-point value source: the setpoint value is set via the analogue input. • Variant Industrial Ethernet: Automatic: the set-point value is set via the fieldbus. If different fieldbus participants simultaneously specify a set-point value for the device, it is always the last set value that is used.
