Determining the measurement values for inputs in "Counter" mode

The module chain described in the following, except the filter module, is started in the configurable record interval and executed once. The interval can be adjusted via the parameter "Record interval" (see Device settings). For inputs operated in "Counter" mode, two measurement values are determined and recorded, which are the amount per record (i.e. the sum of pulses between two recordings multiplied by the pulse valence), the flow rate per record (i.e. the "amount per record" divided by the time difference between the recordings) and the meter reading calculated based on the pulses.

Schematic diagram of how measurement values for inputs in "Counter" mode are generated

1 Filter to compensate for brief signal fluctuations (see Filter module). The filter module is operated permanently. 4 Executes the recording (see Record module)
2 Multiplies the number of pulses by the pulse valence (see Pre-scaling module) 5 Monitoring the conditions under which a "Smart Action" is triggered (see Smart Action module)
3 Multiplies the result from the pre-scaling by a factor in order to convert liters to m³ for instance (see Scale module) 6 This part of the module chain is started at the time of recording and is executed once.
