Electromagnetic Flowmeter Converter
Communication Protocols
Print 5 Batch
It is possible to select one of two printer protocols and to initiate
a print out over the serial data link from a pulse applied to the
contact input function "External Totalizer Reset".
The data and time can also be printed when using the ABB-
Printer (55DE1000). The time can be set in the Printer Clock
parameter.
Communication
Print 5 Batch
A printer output is initiated when the flowrate drops below the
low flow cutoff value after a pulse is applied to the external
totalizer reset. The date and the time (requires the 55DE1000),
the instrument number, the forward totalizer value, the forward
overflow counter value, the reverse totalizer value and the
reverse overflow counter value are printed.
The foward and reverse totalizers are then cleared.
Print 6 Continuous
Communication
Print 6 cont.
A printer output is initiated when a pulse is applied to the
external totalizer reset input. The date and the time (requires a
55DE1000), the instrument number, the forward totalizer value,
the forward overflow counter value, the reverse totalizer value,
the reverse overflow counter value and the instantaneous
flowrate value in percent or engineering units (based on the
selection in display) are printed.

Printer Type
Entry from Table
A selection between a standard printer (Standard) and the ABB
Printer 55DE1000 can be made in this parameter. The
baudrates of the printer and the data link must be adjusted so
they are compatible.
An incorrect character set is processed if an incorrect printer
type is selected resulting in an improperly printed report.
When any standard printer is connected to the converter data
link (minimum printer specifications: 40 characters/line, printer
buffer 1kByte, ASCII character set compatible), then the printer
type "Standard" should be selected.
Time Printer
Time printer
In conjunction with the ABB 55DE1000 Report Printer, the date
and the present time can be printed on all the printer reports.
The printer must include a clock module. The year, month, day,
hour and minutes can be entered as 2 place numbers.
