Flow totalizer working principle

The flow totalizer is composed of four parts: measurement loop, digital panel meter, regulator and power supply.

The stabilized power supply converts the 220V power supply into a stable DC voltage as the other part of the power supply.

The measurement loop processes the signal (voltage, current, etc.) sent by the flow transmitter into a voltage signal.

After A/D conversion, the signal is sent to a dedicated central processing unit for processing. Not only to the digital panel meter but also to the regulator. After comparing with the set value, it outputs a control or alarm signal according to the regulation rule.

The flow totalizer is used to measure the instantaneous flow of liquid or solid in the industrial field.

The signal output by the flowmeter is generally a pulse signal or a 4-20mA current signal, both of which output instantaneous flow. Our purpose is to calculate and display the instantaneous flow value and calculate the cumulative value in the PLC.

When the input signal is a pulse signal, when calculating the instantaneous flow rate, it must be calculated in strict time intervals to ensure the accuracy of the instantaneous flow rate.

Therefore, the calculation of instantaneous flow must be done with a timed interrupt. Moreover, only this one interrupt program can be run in the PLC system, and no other interrupts are allowed (even low-priority interrupts are not allowed to run). To prevent interference with the accuracy of the time interval of the timing interruption.

Calculating the instantaneous flow rate is to convert the number of accumulated pulses in this time period into the accumulated flow rate. Divided by time is the instantaneous flow.

For 4-20mA input, the instantaneous flow can be directly obtained by simply converting according to its corresponding range. The cumulative flow is to add up the cumulative flow in each time period.

In the actual use of PLC programming, the following issues must be paid attention to:

(1) Whether the input pulse frequency range exceeds the receiving range of the PLC;
(2) How to ensure correct calculation when the PLC high-speed counter reaches the maximum count value;
(3) How to ensure that the timing interruption is not disturbed;
(4) How to avoid errors in calculating the cumulative amount;
(5) The maximum cumulative digits of the cumulative amount;
(6) How to reset the totalizer.

Totalizer vs Flow Meter

A pure totalizer is not a flow meter.

Usually, flow meters measure instantaneous flow. If you need to know the total amount of flow, you need to use a totalizer.

A complete flow detection system includes several parts such as sensing, transmission, calculation, integration, display, etc. Each part can be an independent instrument. It is also possible to integrate several functions into one watch.

Many flow totalizers on the market now integrate calculation, totalization, and display. It includes most of the functions of the flow system. Some manufacturers set the totalizer and other parts as flow meters and use the name of the complete set on the totalizer. If you buy the totalizer alone, you will see that the name is flowmeter.

So the flowmeter [maybe] includes a totalizer, but the totalizer is not a flowmeter.

If you get here, you still can’t find a suitable product. Then let us take a more detailed look at the functions and applications of the Flow Totalizer Meter.

Paperless recorder working principle

A recorder is an instrument that converts the process of one or more variables over time or another variable into recognizable and readable signals. It can save the recorded signal changes for analysis and processing. The biggest feature of the recorder is that it can automatically record the slow change process and transient level change process of periodic or non-periodic multi-channel signals.

According to the types of input and output signals, recorders can be divided into analog-digital, digital-analog, analog-analog, digital-digital and other forms. Their main circuit varies according to the output form.

When the output is a digital signal, its main circuit is a memory circuit that can store digital information. It can send digital signals to tape drives, punchers or other equipment at any time. Or observe the analog waveform with an oscilloscope after proper conversion, such as digital memory and waveform memory.

When the output is an analog signal, the main circuit of the recorder is an analog amplifier drive circuit without storage function. The signal must be recorded on paper, photosensitive film, or tape immediately using appropriate recording devices and methods. The information can be saved for further analysis and processing. Such as various pen recorders, light recorders, plotters, tape recorders, etc.

What is the difference between a pressure switch and a pressure sensor?

Pressure sensor is the most commonly used sensor in industrial practice. A sensor that can sense pressure and convert it into a usable output signal. The pressure switch is to open or close the system under a certain pressure to realize the detection, display, alarm and control signal output of the medium pressure signal. Ensure that the system is operating normally. Then the pressure sensor and the pressure switch are used as pressure-related instruments at the same time. What is the difference in the use of the two?

The pressure switch is a kind of switch as its name implies, but this kind of switch is a pressure set in advance. When the measured medium reaches this pressure, the switch can be turned on or off automatically. The pressure switch must be given a pressure value in advance, and then turn the switch on or off. Used for simple control, they are all on-off outputs.

The pressure sensor can output not only analog signal, but also digital signal output. Digital signal processing is more convenient, and remote transmission is also possible. The pressure sensor is composed of a pressure-sensitive element and a conversion circuit, which uses the pressure of the measured medium to act on the pressure-sensitive element to produce a small change in current or voltage output.

Sensors often need to be used in conjunction with external amplifier circuits to complete the process from pressure detection to control and display. Since the pressure sensor is a primary element, the signal feedback from the pressure sensor needs to be processed, analyzed, stored, and controlled by the measurement and control system. Make industrial automation equipment and engineering operation control more intelligent.

In terms of price, pressure sensors are naturally more expensive than pressure switches, because pressure sensors have internal signal conditioning circuits. But considering the service life and safety, the cost performance of the pressure sensor is much higher than that of the pressure switch. The after-sales service, product reputation, and market differences of pressure sensors are better than pressure switches. Obviously, the pressure sensor should be preferred.

The above is the difference between a pressure sensor and a pressure switch. I hope that the introduction of the editor can provide some help to everyone’s use.

How does a high pressure switch work?

Working principle:
When the pressure in the system is higher or lower than the rated safety pressure, the disc in the sensor moves instantly. Push the switch connector on or off by connecting the guide rod.

When the pressure drops or rises to the rated recovery value, the disc is reset instantly. The switch resets automatically. Or simply speaking, when the measured pressure exceeds the rated value, the free end of the elastic element produces displacement, pushes the switch element directly or after comparison, changes the on-off state of the switch element, and achieves the purpose of controlling the measured pressure.

The elastic elements used in the pressure switch include a single-turn spring tube, diaphragm, bellows and bellows.

What is a vacuum pressure switch?

Vacuum switch is a switch that detects the range of vacuum degree, also known as vacuum relay.

Its function is to automatically open and close the control circuit when the vacuum degree produced in actual work reaches the specified requirements. Send an electrical signal. Command the normal operation of the vacuum suction mechanism. It belongs to reliability and safety components.

Vacuum switches are divided into three types: mechanical, semiconductor and air bridge.

Mechanical vacuum switch uses mechanical displacement to determine the change of vacuum pressure, such as diaphragm vacuum switch.

The semiconductor vacuum switch uses a semiconductor pressure sensor to detect the change of vacuum pressure, and can directly convert the detected pressure signal into an electrical signal.

The setting of the vacuum pressure switch can only be carried out under the pressure value.

For example, if you need to operate at -0.02MPa, you must vacuum the pressure gauge to -0.02MPa. Then adjust the knob of the pressure switch. Close it, and then pump to -0.03MPa and slowly release the pressure. This is repeated many times to find the -0.02MPa point.

How does a vacuum pressure switch work?

The working principle of vacuum pressure switch:

When the vacuum pressure in the system is higher or lower than the set pressure, the pressure sensor in the controller will act immediately. Make the switch contacts in the controller open or close, and the equipment stops working at this time.

When the vacuum pressure in the system returns to the pressure range set by the equipment, the pressure of the controller is reset immediately. Make the switch contacts in the controller turn on or off, and the device works normally.

  1. In fact, the vacuum switch is purely mechanical deformation that causes the micro switch to act. When the pressure increases, the vacuum switch acts on different pressure sensing components (diaphragm, bellows, piston) to produce deformation. Will move upward through mechanical structures such as railing springs. Finally, the top micro switch is activated to output the electrical signal.
  2. The setting method of mechanical pressure switch is continuous displacement type from the functional principle. The set point can be set at a single point and can reach up to 3 different set points.
  3. The vacuum switch has a variety of options for different ranges of absolute negative pressure and positive and negative pressure. While measuring the negative pressure, the vacuum switch can withstand a certain strength of positive pressure. It is widely used in the power industry.

Working principle of low pressure switch

When the system pressure and the rated pressure are too high or too low, the disc in the sensor will move instantaneously. Thereby, the switch joint is pushed on or off by the connected guide rod.

In short, it is compared with the rated value through the test situation of the measured pressure. When there is a change, a working effect will be produced, and the free end of the elastic element will be displaced. Push the switching element directly or after comparison. Change the on-off state of the switching element to achieve the purpose of controlling the measured pressure.

The commonly used components of pressure switches mainly include four categories: diaphragm, diaphragm, single coil spring tube and bellows.

The role of low pressure switch

Because pressure switches have relatively high accuracy and stable performance, low-pressure pressure switches are widely used in automobiles, water purifiers, power development and other fields. These fields are mainly applied to low-voltage protection switches of automobiles, low-voltage switch appliances of power equipment, and low-voltage control switches used in pressure systems.

Among them, in the automotive field, it means that when the voltage provided by the car to the on-board power supply is lower than how much, the power supply will automatically shut down to achieve a protection function. As a commonly used electrical component, low-voltage car switches can prevent damage to the power supply equipment of the car and ensure the normal ignition of the car.

The low-pressure switch in the pressure system achieves the working effect according to the water supply pressure of the entire system. It is mainly to cut off the entire circuit when there is no water or the pressure is too small to achieve the purpose of protecting the water pump.

Electronic Pressure Switch Applications

From gas mechanics to hydraulic field, precision control field, pressure automatic control field. Electronic pressure switches can replace most of mechanical pressure switches, liquid level switches, pressure relays, electric contact pressure gauges and are used in some places.

Electronic Pressure Switch for Air Compressor

Pressure switches are often used in paper machines, air compressors or pump sets. In this type of equipment, we rely on pressure switches as safety devices, alarms or control elements in the system.

Take an air compressor (referred to as “air compressor”) as an example:
An ordinary air compressor consists of three main parts: a motor, a V-type air pump and an air storage tank. The air compressor is equipped with a pressure switch, which can adjust the start and stop of the motor. By adjusting the pressure in the oil tank, the air compressor can rest .

The air compressor factory can set a certain start and stop pressure according to the requirements of different customers during the debugging process. For example, when the compressor starts, air is pumped inside.

When the pressure reaches the set value, the pressure switch will contact the contacts to stop the motor. When the pressure is lower than the set value, the air compressor starts again. Keep the pressure in the oil tank within the pressure range.

Disadvantages of Electronic Pressure Switch

The advantages of the intelligent pressure switch are mentioned above, and the disadvantages of the smart pressure switch are mainly complicated in wiring. 4 or more, need power supply to use. There may be interference when encountering strong electricity.

The pressure switch is a simple pressure control device. When the measured pressure reaches the rated value, the pressure switch can send out an alarm or control signal.

Electronic pressure switches provide electronic switch output signals.

Electronic pressure switches mainly use pressure sensors for pressure sampling. The non-electricity is directly converted into voltage or current through the pressure sensor. The sensor signal is processed through the signal conditioning circuit, and finally passed through the comparison circuit. The output level is a certain logic state. This logic The level can be input to the microcontroller. Drive the rear circuit or control the electrical switch. The user can determine the pressure value of the action of the pressure switch by setting the level conversion threshold.

Electronic pressure switches are factory set to the optimum switching point or can be programmed in the field thanks to the integrated display and pushbuttons. Their integrated programmable logic allows switching points and output signals to be tailored to the application.

The numerous programmable functions of modern electronic pressure switches include hysteresis, delay time, normally closed or normally open and window functions. They also provide a constant pressure reading and indicate if the switch output is active.

Pressure switches can be divided into coil spring tube pressure switches, diaphragm pressure switches, bellows pressure switches and bellows pressure switches according to the sensing elements.

Pressure switches can be divided into mechanical and electronic smart pressure switches according to their nature.

According to the setting value, the pressure switch can be divided into: adjustable pressure switch and non-adjustable pressure switch.

Pressure switches can be divided into general pressure switches, small pressure switches, smart pressure switches, explosion-proof pressure switches, marine pressure switches, differential pressure switches, etc. according to applications.

Classification of pressure switches:

There are two types of pressure switches: mechanical and electronic. There are many kinds of mechanical pressure switches, and many kinds of electronic ones. Let’s talk about the difference between mechanical pressure switches and old and new electronic pressure switches.

The working principle of mechanical pressure switch is:

When the measured pressure exceeds the rated value, the free end of the elastic element is displaced, and the switching element is pushed directly or after comparison to change the on-off state of the switching element to achieve the purpose of controlling the measured pressure.

Generally, “electric contact pressure gauge” is used, which is an ordinary tube spring pressure gauge, plus two sets of electric contacts.

It can be connected to the electrical contacts of relatively high and low pressure, thereby controlling the pressure between the upper and lower limits. The capacity of this kind of electric contact is small, so it can only switch the control coil of the contactor, and the control position on the pressure switch can be adjusted.

The characteristics of this mechanical pressure switch are: low price, easy to use, but low accuracy, short service life, troublesome control point setting and inconvenient setting.

The working principle of the electronic pressure switch is:

The pointer pressure sensor is used to measure the pressure of the medium, and then the measured pressure is converted into a digital signal and sent to the programmable logic device PLC to control the upper and lower pressure limits. When the pressure reaches the preset pressure, the output voltage drives the motor or other controllable devices.

This kind of pressure switch has many shortcomings. Due to the use of a pointer pressure sensor, the degree is not high and the observability is poor; the entire pressure switch is expensive and has cumbersome controllability.

The new technology electronic pressure switch is designed and produced using high-precision pressure sensor and temperature compensation technology, combined with micro-processing technology and advanced analog-to-digital converter.

This pressure switch has a built-in precision pressure sensor, amplifies the pressure signal through a high-precision instrument amplifier, and collects and processes data through a high-speed MCU.

It adopts LCD or LED real-time digital display pressure, relay signal output, upper and lower limit control points can be set freely, stable and reliable, and high precision. The disadvantage is that the price is extremely high.

Mechanical pressure switches and electronic pressure switches have their own advantages, and they jointly promote the development of pressure measurement.

Extended Reading: Digital Pressure Sensor-RS485

The output of a pressure switch is a digital on-and-off signal. This signal can only have two states of on and off.

The output of a pressure transmitter, however, is an analog electrical voltage or a current signal representing 0 to 100% of the pressure range sensed by the transducer.

Electronic pressure switches are suitable for applications that require stability, multiple switch points and control flexibility. Such as control and automation equipment. They are ideal for installations that require flexible programming and adjustment, local indication displays and additional analog output signals.

The pressure switch you should use ultimately depends on your application. Electronic switches are typically used in industrial, OEM or process type applications. For high/low alarm, control, pressure monitoring and/or automation. They are also commonly used in conjunction with PLCs and other building control equipment.

Compared to mechanical switches, electronic pressure switches have a longer lifespan. They can withstand more pressure cycles. Because they have fewer moving parts, there is less wear on the diaphragm.
