Measurement Site Selection
The flowmeter is simple and convenient to install. As long as a suitable
measuring point is selected, Clamp the product sensor surface on the pipe
section directly and fix the pipe clamp, and then the power is turned on, the
flow measurement can be realized.
When selecting measuring points, it is required to select pipe sections with
uniform fluid flow field distribution to ensure measurement accuracy. The
following principles shall be followed during installation:
- Select a pipe segment that is filled with fluid, such as the vertical part of the pipe line (the fluid is better to flow upward) or the horizontal pipe segment that is filled with fluid.
- The measuring point should be on a uniform straight pipe section with 10 times the diameter (10D) from the upstream and 5 times the diameter (5D) from the downstream. There are no valves, elbows, reducers and other devices interfering with the flow field within this range. The length of the straight pipe section is recommended to use the values shown in the following table.
- Ensure that the temperature at the measuring point is within the working range.
- Fully consider the scaling condition on the inner wall of the pipe, try to select the pipe section without scaling for measurement, and select the pipe section of uniform and dense pipes so as to make ultrasonic transmission easier.
Communication Protocol
The flow meter adopts the response communication method, the upper computer to send “command” way, ask the lower position flow meter to response. The asynchronous communication baud rate (main workstation, computer system, ultrasonic flow meter) is generally 9600bps. Single byte data format (10 bits): 1 start bit, 1 stop bit and 8 data bits. Check bit: NONE.
8.1 FUJI Protocol
The FUJI protocol of the meter adopts the response communication mode, and the
upper system requests the meter to response by issuing “commands”. The
asynchronous communication baud rate (main workstation, computer system,
secondary workstation, ultrasonic flow meter) is usually 9600bps. Single byte
data format (10bits): 1 starting bits, 1 stop bits and 8 data bits. Check bit:
NONE.
The basic commands are represented by data strings and the end of the command
is indicated by a carriage return line break.They are characterized by
arbitrary data length. The commands commonly used are shown in the following
table:
Communication command
Command | Command Meaning | Data Format |
---|---|---|
DQD(cr)(lf) Note 0 | Return instantaneous flow per day | ±d.ddddddE±dd(cr) Note1 |
DQH(cr)(lf) | Return instantaneous flow per hour | ±d.ddddddE±dd(cr) |
DQM(cr) (lf) | Return instantaneous flow per minute | ±d.ddddddE±dd(cr) |
DQS(cr) (lf) | Return instantaneous flow per second | ±d.ddddddE±dd(cr) |
DV(cr) (lf) | Return instantaneous flow rate | ±d.ddddddE±dd(cr) |
DI+(cr) (lf) | Return positive accumulation amount | ±dddddddE±d(cr) Note 2 |
DI-(cr) (lf) | Return negative accumulation amount | ±dddddddE±d(cr) |
DIN(cr) (lf) | Return net accumulated amount | ±dddddddE±d(cr) |
DID(cr) (lf) | Return instrument identification code (address code) | ddddd(cr)5 |
Bit Length
DL(cr) (lf)| Return signal strength| UP:dd.d,DN:dd.d,Q=dd(cr)
ESN(cr) (lf)| Return electronic serial number| ddddddd(cr)(lf) Note3
W| Digital string address network command prefix| Note 4
P| Prefix with checksum return command|
&| Command “plus” function symbol|
Note:
-
(cr)indicates carriage return,Its ASCII value is 0DH.(lf) indicates a line feed and its ASCII value is 0AH.
-
d is a number ranging from 0 to 9, 0 value is indicated as+0.000000E+00.
d is a number ranging from 0 to 9, the integer part in front of “E” has no decimal point. -
dddddddd eight digits indicate the electronic serial number of the machine, t indicates the machine code.
-
If there are multiple traffic tables in the data network at the same time, the basic command cannot be used alone, and must be prefixed with W before it can be used, otherwise it will cause multiple traffic tables to response at the same time, which may result in system confusion.
(1)P prefix
Character P can be added before each basic command to indicate that the
returned data has CRC verification.The check sum is obtained by binary
addition.
For example: If the return data of the command DI+ (CR)(The corresponding
binary data are 44H, 49H, 2BH, 0DH)is+1234567E+0m3 (CR)(The corresponding
binary data are 2BH,31H,32H,33H,34H,35H,
36H,37H,45H,2BH,30H,6DH,33H,20H,0DH,0AH) the return data of the command PDI+
(CR) is +1234567E+0m3 !F7 (CR). “!” indicates that it is a sum character in
front of it, and the checksum of two bytes is in the back
(2BH+31H+32H+33H+34H+35H+ 36H+37H+45H+2BH+30H+6DH+33H+20H=(2)F7H).
Note that “!” can be preceded by no data, and a space character may be
present.
(2)W prefix
The usage of W prefix: W + string address code(Must be 5-digit number) + basic
command, digital string value range 0~65535 except 13 (0DH enter), 10(0AH line
feed) 42(2AH*), 38(26H&). If access to the instantaneous flow rate of the flow
meter No. 12345, issue the command W012345DV (CR), the corresponding binary
codes are 57H,31H,32H,33H,34H,35H,44H,56H,0DH.
(3) &Functional symbols
& the function symbol can add up to five basic commands (prefixed with P) to
form a composite command and transmit it to the flow meter, which responds at
the same time. For example, to send back simultaneously 1.
instantaneous flow rate; 2. instantaneous flow rate; 3. positive cumulative
quantity; 4. negative cumulative quantity; and 5. net cumulative quantity with
verification from the flow meter No. 4321, send the command as follows:
W04321PDQD &PDV&PDI+&PDI-&PDIN(CR)
The data returned at the same time may be as follows:
+0.000000E+00m3/d! AC(CR)
+0.000000E+00m/s! 88(CR)
+1234567E+0m3! F7(CR)
+0.000000E+0m3! DA(CR)
+0.000000E+0 m3! DA(CR)

8.3 Lora Protocol Frame Format
The Lora protocol frame of this instrument is to split the data into
hexadecimals and send it in a large-end data format. The following table
format is identified by the low address from which the data is sent (Assuming
that the starting address of the continuous data address is 0000, continuous
storage of data in sequential order).
For example: Lora’s frames are composed of instantaneous flow, positive
accumulation, instantaneous velocity, signal quality, and timestamp in turn.
At the same time, we assume that the actual data is: 3.78m3/h, 1.42m3,
3.62m/s, 99, 2353401716, the sent data format is (100 times greater):
0x83 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x8e 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x46 0x01 0x63 0x74 0x0f 0x46 0x8c
Instantaneous Flow Positive Cumulative Instantaneous Velocity Signal Quality
Timestamp
The data before sending is:
Instantaneous Flow: 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x83(Decimal is: 378)
Positive Cumulative: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x8e (Decimal is: 142)
Instantaneous Velocity: 0x01 0x46 (Decimal is: 362)
Signal Quality: 0x63(Decimal is: 99)
Timestamp: 0x8c 0x46 0x0f 0x74(Decimal is: 2353401716)
