Unless otherwise specifi ed, the following settings
are in effect when shipped from the factory.
If no digitalYEWFLO is detected, check the
available address range. If the node address and
PD Tag are not specifi ed when ordering, default
value is factory set. If two or more digitalYEWFLOs
are connected at a time with default value, only
one digitalYEWFLO will be detected from host as
digitalYEWFLOs have the same initial address.
Connect the digitalYEWFLOs one by one and set a
unique address for each.
4.4 Integration of DD
If the host supports DD (Device Description), the
DD of the digitalYEWFLO needs to be installed.
Check if host has the following directory under its
default DD directory.
594543 : the manufacturer number of
Yokogawa Electric Corporation
0009 : the device number of digitalYEWFLO
If this directory is not found, the DD for the
digitalYEWFLO has not yet been installed. Create
this directory and copy the DD fi les (0m0n.ffo and
0m0n.sym to be supplied separately where m and
n are numerals) to it. If you do not have the DD fi les
for the digitalYEWFLO, you can download them
from our web site.
Visit the following web site.
http://www.yokogawa.com/fl d/
Once the DD is installed in the directory, the
name and attribute of all parameters of the
digitalYEWFLO are displayed.
Off-line confi guration is possible using the
capabilities fi le.
NOTE
When using a capabilities fi le (CFF), make sure
you use the right fi le for the intended device. The
digitalYEWFLO is offered in two types in terms of
capabilities:
• General type:
AI function blocks (three), DI function blocks
(two), AR function block (one), and IT
function block (one).
• With the option /LC1: A PID function block
Using the wrong CFF fi le may result in an
error when downloading the confi gured data
to the device. Also, use the right DD fi les that
accommodate the revision of the intended
device.
4.5 Reading the Parameters
To read digitalYEWFLO parameters, select the AI
block of the digitalYEWFLO from the host screen
and read the OUT parameter. The current fl ow rate
is displayed. Check that MODE_BLK of the function
block and resource block is set to AUTO.
4.6 Continuous Record of
Values
If the host has a function of continuously records the
indications, use this function to list the indications
(values). Depending on the host being used, it may
be necessary to set the schedule of Publish (the
function that transmits the indication on a periodic
basis).
