APACITY UNIT INDEX
unsigned char 0…4 RW  Y 23 1/15
This parameter gives access to the limited unit table which is available for MBC-II and MBC3 type of
instruments.
Capacity unit index is a pointer to select an actual readout unit (see list below). For FLOW-BUS instruments all capacity
units are available for direct reading. Other field busses (eg. DeviceNet) are limited in options for direct reading
facilities.

name description
sensor type Indicator for type of sensor in instrument in relation with a list of units for direct reading
capacity unit index Points to the capacity unit for direct reading in list of available units
Example:
If you want to readout your instrument in ln/min, then make sure parameter “sensor type” is set to value 3 and
parameter “capacity unit index” is set to value 0. By means of parameter “capacity unit” the unit string can be read-
back as a 7 character string.
