3.1 Functionality
The flowrate of gases, steam and liquids can be metered with the Swirl Flowmeter (SFM) over a wide
range of flowrates independent of the properties of the fluid being metered.
There are no moving parts in the SFM making it maintenance and wear free.

Principle of Operation
The inlet guide body causes the axially entering flow to rotate. A vortex core is formed in the center of this
rotation, which due to the backflow is forced into a spiral shaped secondary rotation (see Fig. 1 and Fig.
2 ).
The frequency of the secondary rotation is proportional to the flowrate and is linear over a wide flow range
in designs with optimized internal geometries. This frequency is detected by a Piezo sensor. The flowrate
proportional frequency signal from the flowmeter primary is processed in the converter.

3.2 Assembly and Installation Flowmeter Primary

3.2.1 Inspection
Prior to installing the SFM check for mechanical damage to the flowmeter due to possible mishandling
during shipment. All claims for damage are to be made promptly to the shipper.

3.2.2 Installation of the Flowmeter Meter Primary in the Pipeline

[Link] Installation Requirements

The SFM can be installed at any arbitrary location in the pipeline. Care should be exercised to assure that
• the ambient requirements are not exceeded (see Specifications TRIO-WIRL D184S035U02).
• the recommended in- and outlet straight sections are provided (Fig. 4 ).
• the flow direction corresponds to the direction indicated by the arrow on the flowmeter primary.
• the required minimum distance for removing the converter and exchanging sensors is available (see
Specifications TRIO-WIRL D184S035U02).
• mechanical vibrations in the pipeline are eliminated using supports if necessary.
• the inside diameters of the flowmeter primary and the pipeline are the same.
• pressure fluctuations at zero flowrate in long pipelines should be eliminated by installing intermediate
shut off valves.
• flow pulsations resulting from piston pump or compressor operation should be reduced by using
appropriate dampeners. The residual pulsations can be a maximum of 10%. The frequency of the
flow supply may not be in the same range as the measurement frequency of the flowmeter.
• valves/gates should generally be installed downstream from the flowmeter primary (typ. 3 x D). If the
flow supply is a piston pump or compressor (pressures for liquids > 10 bar) hydraulic pressure
oscillations may occur when valves are closed. In these situations it is essential that the valves be
installed upstream from the flowmeter. If necessary, suitable damping devices (e.g. volume tanks)
should be provided.
• when metering liquids, the flowmeter primary is always completely filled with fluid and cannot drain.
• no cavitation can occur when metering liquids or steam.
• for high fluid temperatures (> 150°C), the flowmeter primary should be installed so that the
electronic assembly is mounted at the side or bottom of the flowmeter (Fig. 3 ).

[Link] Recommended In- and Outlet Sections

The measurement principle of the Swirl Flowmeter requires only minimal in- and outlet lengths of straight
pipe. Fig. 4 shows the recommended lengths for the in- and outlet straight sections for various installation
conditions. No in- or outlet straight sections are required when single or double elbows are installed up-
or downstream from the flowmeter primary whose radius is greater than 1.8 x D. No additional in- or outlet
straight sections are required downstream from reducers per DIN 28545 (α/2 = 8°).

[Link] Pressure and Temperature Measurements

A Pt100 temperature sensor can optionally installed in the SFM for direct temperature measurements.
These temperature measurements can be used to monitor the fluid temperature or for the measurement
of saturated steam in mass units.
If an external pressure and temperature compensation is to be made (e.g. with Sensycal) then the
measurement should be made at the locations as described in Fig. 7. The pressure measurement must
be made at the pressure tap on the flowmeter primary.
If the pressure is measured downstream from the flowmeter primary large errors in the pressure values
will occur. They are a function of the flowrate and the flowmeter size.

4.1 Functionality
The flowrate of gases, steam and liquids can be metered the Vortex Flowmeter (VFM) over a wide flow
range independent of the properties of the fluid being metered.

Principle of Operation
The operation of the Vortex Flowmeter (VFM) is based on the Karman Vortex Street principle. Vortices
are formed alternately on both sides as a fluid flows around the shedder body. The flow causes these
vortices to be shed forming a vortex street (Karman Vortex Street) (Fig. 9 ).

Shedder Piezo Sensor

(option with PT100)

Fig. 9: Karman Vortex Street

The frequency f of the vortex shedding in proportional to the flow velocity v v

f = St ⋅ ---
and inversely proportional to the width of the shedder body d: d

St, the Strouhal Number, is a dimensionless number which defines the quality of the vortex flowrate
measurements. By appropriate design of the shedder body, St is constant over a wide Reynolds Number
range Re (Fig. 10 ).

v = flow velocity R e = -----------

D = inside diameter of the meter tube

Fig. 10: Strouhal No. / Reynolds No. Relationship
As a result, the vortex shedding frequency to be evaluated, is a function only of the flow velocity and is
independent of the fluid density and viscosity.
The local pressure changes resulting from the vortex shedding are detected by a Piezo sensor and
converted into electrical impulses corresponding to the vortex shedding frequency. The flowrate
proportional frequency signal generated in the flowmeter primary is processed in the converter.

4.2 Assembly and Installation Flowmeter Primary

4.2.1 Inspection
Prior to installing the VFM check for mechanical damage to the flowmeter due to possible mishandling
during shipment. All claims for damage are to be made promptly to the shipper.

4.2.2 Installation of the Flowmeter Meter Primary in the Pipeline

[Link] Installation Requirements

The VFM can be installed at any arbitrary location in the pipeline. Care should be exercised to assure that:
• the ambient requirements are not exceeded (see Specifications TRIO-WIRL D184S035U02).
• the recommended in- and outlet straight sections are provided (Fig. 11 ).
• the flow direction corresponds to the direction indicated by the arrow on the flowmeter
primary.
• the required minimum distance for removing the converter and exchanging sensors is available (see
Specifications TRIO-WIRL D184S035U02).
• mechanical vibrations in the are eliminated, using supports if required.
• the inside diameters of the flowmeter primary and the pipeline are the same.
• pressure fluctuations at zero flowrate in long pipelines should be eliminated by installing intermediate
gate valves.
• flow pulsations resulting from piston pump or compressor operation should be reduced by using
appropriate dampeners. The residual pulsations can be a maximum of 10%. The frequency of the
flow supply may not be in the same range as the measurement frequency of the flowmeter.
• valves/gates should generally be installed downstream from the flowmeter primary (typ. 5 x D). If the
flow supply is a piston pump or compressor (pressures for liquids > 10 bar) hydraulic pressure
oscillations may occur when valves are closed. In these situations it is essential that the valves be
installed upstream from the flowmeter. If necessary, suitable damping devices (e.g. volume tanks)
should be provided.
• when metering liquids the flowmeter primary is always completely filled with fluid and cannot drain.
• no cavitation can occur when metering liquids or steam.
• for high fluid temperatures the flowmeter primary should be installed so that the electronic
assembly is mounted at the side or bottom of the flowmeter (Fig. 12 ).

5.2 Interconnections TRIO-WIRL VR/SR

The TRIO-WIRL VR/SR is based on the VT/ST technology and includes all the options of the VT/ST. The
converter is mounted remote from the flowmeter primary for installations where the flowmeter primary is
difficult to access. This design is also advantageous for installations where extreme ambient conditions
exist at the meter location. The maximum distance between the flowmeter primary and the converter is
10 m. A special cable is used to connect the flowmeter primary to the converter (permanently connected
to the converter).

Note
It is recommended that the connection cable be installed in a grounded metal conduit.
After the installation has been completed, the cable can be cut to the length required to reach the flowmeter
primary. Because the signals between the flowmeter primary and converter are not amplified, all connections
must be made with care and the leads, as short as possible, positioned in the connection box (see Fig. 21)
so that they are not affected by vibrations.

6.1.2 Setting the Bus-Address

If no special customer specifications relating to the bus address were provided, the address is set at the
factory to "126"(Addressing over the Bus). This address must be changed during the TRIO-WIRL start-
up procedure to a value within the allowable range (0, 2 - 125). An address in a segment may only be
used once.
The setting can be made directly at the instrument (using the mini-switch 8 on the digital board), using a
system tool or using a PROFIBUS DP Master Class 2, such as SMART-VISION. The factory default
setting for switch 8 = Off, i.e. addressing is made over the fieldbus.
The front cover should be unscrewed to make the setting.

6.1.3 Information Regarding Voltage/Current Values

The turn on behavior corresponds to the Draft DIN IEC 65C/155/CDV of June 1996. The average current
draw of the TRIO-WIRL is 10 mA. During an error condition the current draw is limited to max. 13 mA by
an FDE-Function (= Fault Disconnection Electronic) integrated in the instrument. The upper value of the
current is electronically limited. The supply voltage range is 9−32 Volt DC for the standard design (Model
V_40/S_40). The Intrinsic Safe design (Model V_4A/S_4A) has a supply voltage range of 9−24 V DC.

6.1.4 System Integration

Through use of the PROFIBUS PA Profile B, V3.0 the instruments are not only interoperable, that is,
instruments of different manufacture can be physically interconnected and can be communicated with on
a single bus, and they are also interchangeable, i.e. instruments of different manufacture can be
interchanged with each other without requiring a configuration change in the process control system.
In order to assure the interchangeability, 3 different GSD-Files (GSD= Instrument Master File) are made
available by ABB for system integration. Thereby the user can make a decision during system integration
whether to use the complete function set of the TRIO-WIRL or only a portion. The switching is made over
the Parameter ID-Number-Selector, which can only be changed acyclically. The available GSD-Files are
described in the following table. They are included on the CD included in the shipment. The Standard-
GSD-Files [Link] are also available for download on the PNO-Home Page http://

7.2 Data Entry

The data can be entered using either the 3 keys, DATA, STEP and C/CE on the converter or with the
Magnet Stick when the housing cover is closed. During data entry the transducer block in the converter
remains online, i.e. the flowrate continues to be measured.

Fig. 29:

In the following the functions for the individual keys are described:

C/CE The C/CE-key is used to toggle in and out of the operating mode.

STEP ↑ The STEP-key is one of two arrow keys. STEP is used to scroll forward through the menu. All desired parameters
can be accessed.

DATA ↓ The DATA-key is one of two arrow keys. DATA is used to scroll backward through the menu. All desired parameters
can be accessed.

The ENTER function requires that both arrow keys, STEP and DATA, be pressed simultaneously. ENTER turns the
ENTER Program Protection on and off. ENTER is used to access the values in the parameter to be changed and to accept
the new values or selections. The ENTER function is only active for approx. 10 Sec. If no entries are made during
this 10 Sec. time interval the old value is redisplayed on the converter. If an additional 10 seconds elapses without
any action, the standard process display reappears.
ENTER Function for Magnet Stick Operation
The ENTER function is initiated when the DATA/ENTER sensor is activated for more than 3 seconds. The display
blinks to indicate that the function is active.

7.2.1 Data Entry for Converters Without a Display

In this design version the converter is operated and configured acyclically using an operator tool (e.g. SMART-
VISION). Please see the notes for setting the address (PROFIBUS PA only) or for the special hardware write
protect possibilities (FOUNDATION Fieldbus only) in Chapter 6 and the separate Data Link Description.
7.3 Menu System TRIO-WIRL - 3 User Levels
1. Level: Standard Menu
The standard menu provides a quick means for configuring the instrument. All user specific menu
entries required for operating the instrument can be set in this menu.
2. Level:
In contrast to the standard menu, the complete set of user specific parameters are accessible in this
menu.

8 Configuring Converter at Start-Up

The measurement system has been configured by ABB Automation Products prior to shipment based on
the information included with the Order. All the required values have been entered. Because the
instruments can be universally installed, i.e., for liquids or gases, it is recommended that the following
parameter settings be checked and if required, changed at start-up:
• Meter Size:
Check that the meter size agrees with the value on the Factory Tag
• k-Factor:
Check that the displayed value agrees with the value on the Factory Tag.
• Operating Mode:
Select the desired operating mode. See Page 27.
• Which units are to be used for the flowrate and totalizer displays? Select between volume and mass
units (selection is dependent on the operating mode selection).
• Enter desired flow range in the units selected above in the parameter RangeMax actual. Range can
be set between 0.15 to 1.15 x QmaxDN actual. This parameter is only required for the Fieldbus
Design of the TRIO-WIRL, when the local display indication is in „%“.
• Qmin Actual:
Check the low flow cutoff value: Range 0 to 0.1 x QmaxDN.
• Totalizer Units:
Select the flowrate units for the internal totalizer in this parameter. This unit is also used for the pulse
output (Contact Output Terminals 41/42).
• Damping:
Response time of the electronic circuitry, affects the local display, the pulse output and the
Transducer Block.
• Submenu Display:
Configure the local display indications, 2 or 4 line display.
• Configure the Fieldbus Data Link in the TRIO-WIRL:

 9 Additional Configuration Information

9 Additional Configuration Information

9.1 Meter Size

This parameter is used to define the flowmeter size of the installed flowmeter since the same converter
can be used for all flowmeter sizes. The meter size was set at the factory for the flowmeter primary
assigned to the converter (see Factory Tag).

9.2 Calibration K-Factor

The average k-Factor value displayed must be identical to the value listed on the Factory Tag. Each
flowmeter is calibrated on a test stand at 5 flowrate values. The calibration factors are entered in the
converter and recorded on a calibration report. An average calibration factor value is calculated and listed
on the Factory Tag. Typical calibration factor values and signal frequencies for liquids and gases are listed
in the following table. These values are approximate guidelines only:

9.3 Submenu Hardware Configuration (Contact Output Terminals 41/42)

The parameters assigned to the Contact Output (Terminals 41, 42) are set in this submenu. The menus
which are displayed,"Pulse Width", "Min and Max Q_Alarm" or "Min and Max T_Alarm" are a function of
the desired output selected (pulse, flowrate alarm, temperature alarm, system alarm).

9.3.1 Contact Output Configuration

The contact output in the converter is configured at the factory based on the ordering information as either
• Design VT40/VR40/ST40/SR40: Optocoupler
or
• Design VT4A/VR4A/ST4A/SR4A: NAMUR-Contact
It is possible to change the configuration after installation. The supply power to the flowmeter primary
must be shut off and the threaded cover removed. The converter must be removed from the housing in
order to change the switch settings. Loosen the three Phillips head screws and remove the converter. Set
the switches as shown in Fig. 30. Carefully reinstall the converter in the housing, making sure it is
centered and tighten the three screws. Reinstall the threaded cover.

9.4 Submenu Pulse Output

This menu is used to configure the scaled pulse output to match the user requirements. Selections can
be made between 0.001 and 100 pulses per selected unit. The pulse factor is the number of pulses per
flowrate unit. It affects the internal totalizers and the pulse output. The maximum output frequency is
limited to 100 Hz.

9.4.1 Submenu Pulse Width

To configure the pulse width it is necessary to select the parameter "Pulse" in the Submenu "Hardware
Config". Otherwise the parameter Pulse Width is hidden. The pulse width (length of the pulses) for the
scaled pulse output can be set between 1 and 256 ms. The converter monitors the relationship of the
pulse width to the period of the max. pulse frequency (at 115 % flowrate). If an on/off ratio Š 50 % results,
a warning is displayed and the old value is retained.

9.5.1 Power Interruptions

The converter counts the number of times the power was turned off or interrupted and displays the value.
The Mains Interrupt counter can only be reset by ABB-Service.

9.6 Normal Factor (compressibility)

For constant process conditions (pressure and temperature) a Normal Factor can be entered here. The
Normal Factor defines the relationship between the normal and actual flowrates:
Qn = Normal flowrate
Qn ( 1.013 bar + p ) 273 Qv = Actual flowrate
------- = ---------------------------------------- ⋅ -------------------- p = Process pressure
Qv 1.013 bar 273 + T
T = Process temperature [°C]
ρV = Actual density
ρN = Normal density

Because the mass flowrate is the same for both operating modes, the following equation applies:
Qn ρV
------- = -------
Qv ρN

10.1 Note to the FISCO-Model

The Ex-Design of the TRIO-WIRL corresponds to the FISCO-Model (FISCO = Fieldbus intrinsically Safe
Concept) published by PTB. Certification of the intrinsic safety of the connection to other intrinsically safe
instruments is not required if the boundary conditions listed below are maintained:
• All participants must be FISCO approved, e.g. by PTB, TÜV, BVS, KEMA.
• The max. cable length in a segment for EEx ia is limited to 1000 m, for EEx ib to 1900 m.
• The bus cable (Type A) must satisfy the following values: R’ = 15 Ω/km, L’ = 0.4...1 mH/km,
C’ = 80...200 nF/km.
• For each field instrument (Ul, Il, Pi) applies: U0 ≤ Ul, I0 ≤ Il, P0 ≤ Pi.

• All participants operate as passive current sinks.

• When a bus participant transmits, no power is to be added.
• There can only be one active instrument in the segment (power supply/segment coupler).

10.3 TRIO-WIRL VR/SR

The TRIO-WIRL VR/SR is based on the VT/ST technology and includes all the options of the VT/ST. The
converter is mounted remote from the flowmeter primary for installations where the flowmeter primary is
difficult to access. This design is also advantageous for installations where extreme ambient conditions
exist at the meter location. The maximum distance between the flowmeter primary and the converter is
10 m. A special cable is used to connect the flowmeter primary to the converter (permanently connected
to the converter).

Note
It is recommended that the connection cable be installed in a metal conduit connected to PA.
After the installation has been completed, the cable can be cut to the length required to reach the flowmeter
primary. Because the signals between the flowmeter primary and converter are not amplified all connections
must be made with care and the leads, as short as possible, positioned in the connection box (see Fig. 33)
so that they are not affected by vibrations.
