Product overview
4.2 Function
4.2.1 Functional principle
The sensor measures the flow rate (standard volume flow rate, mass flow rate) by a thermal process.
The flow rates are measured by a micromechanical sensor element with a downstream electronic
evaluation unit. The sensor is connected to higher-level systems via switching outputs, a volume
switching pulse, an analogue output or an IO-Link interface. Depending on their configuration, the
switching outputs monitor a threshold value, an analogue input or a signal change. The outputs can
be set as PNP or NPN and normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC). Process values can be read out
and parameters can be changed and transmitted to additional devices through the IO-Link interface.
A volume signal/mass signal can be calculated and output via a pulse output along with a cumulative
measured value via IO-Link by integration of the flow rate.

Tab. 7: Window comparator
Auto difference monitoring d_|¯|_
Auto difference monitoring can be used to monitor the consistency of a signal value. If the applied
signal is consistent within the range between ‘SP.Lo’ and ‘SP.Hi’, the reference value qRef is set
automatically. Consistent means that over the ‘t.obS’ period the maximum signal change ‘S.obS’ is
less than0.2%FS. This results in a switching operation at the output and signals the start of the
signal monitoring. The signal is stable if it remains in the ‘d.SP’ monitoring range around qRef. If it
leaves the monitoring range the output switches back.

Monitoring range
The ‘SP.Lo’, ‘SP.Hi’, ‘t.obS’ and ‘d.SP’ parameters can be freely configured. The higher ‘t.obS’ is set the
greater the required signal stability in order to define the reference value qRef. The limit value for a
maximum signal change ‘S.obS’ can only be adjusted via IO-Link.
Function Normally open contact (N/O) Normally closed contact (N/C)

4.2.3.2 Colour change of the display
A red colour change can be set in the display for the switching outputs OutA and OutB depending
on the switching status. The colour change enables the system status to be identified from a greater
distance. Depending on the setting the colour change reacts both to OutA and to OutB.

Parameter Meaning
‘bLUE’ The display is always blue; the colour change function is disabled.
‘R.On’ The display is red if the switching output is set (high = 1).
The display is blue if the switching output is not set (low = 0).
‘R.OFF’ The display is red if the switching output is not set (low = 0).
The display is blue if the switching output is set (high = 1).
Tab. 9: Colour change of the display
4.2.3.3 Volume pulse/mass pulse
A threshold value SP can be set for the volume and/or the mass with the cumulative volume measure-
ment/mass measurement. If the configured threshold value is reached, the sensor sends a switching
pulse at the pulse output (èFig. 3) for an adjustable time. The volume measurement/mass measure-
ment is restarted at every switching pulse.

4.2.4 Standard switching condition for volume values - ‘REF’/‘Cond’
The represented flow rate units can be related to different standard conditions. It is possible to switch
between the following standard conditions. The corresponding standard is defined by selection of the
reference temperature in the menu guiding on the display.

Tab. 11: Standard condition for volume values
The sensor is factory calibrated to the physical standard conditions in accordance with DIN1343.
If a different standard from DIN1343 is selected, this changes the specified measurement range
(±100%FS) by the defined correction factor. This change is shown on the display by ‘Option’.
Only the display on the sensor monitor is adjusted when the reference standard is switched. If neces-
sary, the effect on the nominal measurement range of the specific sensor must also be considered
when evaluating the analogue output.
4.2.5 Filter
The low-pass filter ‘Filt’ smoothes the flow rate input signal. It also changes the rise time and the fall
time. Filtering affects all outputs. The filter time corresponds to the time constant T of a low-pass filter.
In the SHOW mode a smoothed average ‘AVER’ of the flow rate measurement can be displayed.
Fig. 5: Example: scaling of the analogue signal at the current output
1) The display filter is only active while ‘AVER’ is selected in SHOW mode.
4.2.6 Analogue output
Analogue signal
The analogue output can be configured either as voltage output 0…10V or 1…5V or as current
output 4…20mA. The voltage output is factory-set to 0…10V.
Scaling of the analogue signal
With the bidirectional sensor variants, the analogue output signal is 0…10V, 1…5V or 4…20mA
the complete sensing range (–100…100%FS) and with the unidirectional sensor variants the
analogue output signal is assigned to the positive sensing range (0…100%FS). If only a part of the
sensing range is to be used, the analogue value output can be scaled to this partial sensing range with
the ‘In.Lo’ and ‘In.Hi’ parameters.

4.2.7 Minimum value and maximum value
The minimum values and the maximum values for the flow rate measurement are displayed and reset
in the SHOW mode.
Switching off the operating voltage resets the minimum and maximum values.
4.2.8 Replicate parameter function
This function enables all settings that have been carried out on one sensor (master) to be transferred
to other identical sensors (device).
Parameters are transferred with the IO-Link functions. The configured sensor is set to a master mode
and can then send its parameters to an identical device sensor (identical device ID).
4.2.9 Offset adjustment
An offset adjustment can be made for the zero point. The offset adjustment influences the display and
all outputs. The offset adjustment is only available with the zero adjust setting = ‘ON ’. As a result, the
zero range hiding is no longer active. The zero adjust function ‘Z.Adj’ to ‘ON’ is the default setting for
bidirectional sensor types. If ‘Z.Adj’ is set to ‘ON’, the offset error visible on the display can be set to
zero by a zero adjust teach process. This requires the measured value in the ± 3% FS range based on
the original factory comparison for the teach process.
If the ‘Z.Adj’ parameter is reset to ‘OFF’, the stored adjustment value is no longer taken into account
and the device takes the calibration values from the factory setting. The saved value is not lost and is
used again if the ‘Z.Adj’ parameter is set to ‘ON’.

With the unidirectional sensor SFAH-...U-... the flow rate is fed to the flow port1 and exits at flow
port2. The direction of flow is indicated on the sensor by an arrow.
Unidirectional type only: if the sensor tubing is incorrectly installed, the measured values will be
shown with a negative sign and will be outside the specified measurement range.

8.7 IO-Link teach-in
The sensor support three different IO-Link teach-in functions for all IO-Link switching channels (BDC):
–Device-specific teach-in
–Single Value teach-in according to IO-Link specification in window mode and in auto difference
monitoring
–Two Value teach-in according to IO-Link specification in single-point mode
Carry out the following steps before teach-in:
1. Configure the switching channel according to the application including switching point mode,
switching logic and hysteresis.
2. Set the teach-in channel to the desired switching channel (parameter 0x003A, OutA=0x01,
OutB=0x02).
The following applies to all teach-in processes:
–The [A], [B] and [Edit] keys are locked during teach-in. ‘t-IN’ and ‘IOL’ flash alternately on the display.
–The chronological sequence of the teach-in points is not relevant.
–The teach values are only accepted after the second teach-in.
–The teach-in process can be cancelled with the 0x4F command.
Device-specific teach-in
The device-specific teach-in (0x4B) behaves in the same way as the manual teach-in on the device.
The two teach-in points are set with the IO-Link command instead of a manual key press. For teach-in
of the single-point mode the switching point is derived from the average of the two teach-in points: SP
= 1/2 (TP1 + TP2).
1. Set the first flow rate.
2. Send the teach-in command 0x4B.
3. Set the second flow rate.
4. Send the teach-in command 0x4B.
Single Value Teach-In according to IO-Link specification in window mode
SP1 and SP2 are taught-in with separate commands with the Single Value teach-in. The two teach
points are assigned to the switching points SP1 and SP2 in such a way that the parameter set is valid.

Festo — SFAH — 2023-08c
IO-Link interface description

1. Set the desired flow rate.
2. Send the teach-in command 0x41 for TP1.
3. Set the second desired flow rate.
4. Send the teach-in command 0x42 for TP2.
Two Value teach-in according to IO-Link specification in single-point mode
With the Two Value teach-in, each teach point is taught in with separate commands for SP1.
1. Set the desired flow rate.
2. Send the teach-in command 0x43 (SP1 Two Value Teach TP1).
3. Set the second desired flow rate.
4. Send the teach-in command 0x44 (SP1 Two Value Teach TP2). The switching point is derived from
the average of the two teach points: SP1 = 1/2 (TP1 + TP2).
Recommendation: after teach-in read out and check that the setting conform to the application. For
more information see IO-Link Smart Sensor Profile è8.5 Smart sensor profile parameters.
8.8 Block parameterisation
This function can prevent sending of invalid parameters to a device. Individually sent parameter
values may not be compatible with the parameter values already stored in the device. All parameters

Fixed conversion factors are required for the physical units in order to display the measured and
process value-related parameters correctly in the control unit. The conversion factors for the volume
units are based on the reference standard DIN1343 and the gas medium air.
• For other reference standards and gas media, use factors from the following chapters:
–è4.2.4 Standard switching condition for volume values - ‘REF’/‘Cond’

12.3 Examples for calculating the maximum error of the display
–Flow measuring range: 1 …50l/min (FS = 50)
–Measured value: 35l/min
Range error (2% FS) Zero point error (1% FS)
x= measured variable, y= measured value (display), z= maximum error of the display
Tab. 55: Spread error and zero point error
Spread error and zero point error
The spread error is proportional to the measured value. At the measured value of 35l/min the spread
error is 35/50 of 2% of 50 l/min = 0.7 l/min.
The zero point error is independent of the measured value. It is 1% of 50 l/min (FS) = 0.5 l/min.
Errors in the display under nominal conditions (0bar relativ, 23°C):
The display error under nominal conditions is the result of adding the spread and zero point errors.

Technical data
The actual flow rate is therefore in the range 35 ± (0.7 + 0.5) l/min = 35 ± 1.2 l/min.
Errors in the display under deviating nominal conditions (e.g. 6bar relative, 40°C, vertical
mounting position and display at front):
Typical temperature errors and pressure errors are spread errors. The temperature error at 40°C and
measured value 35l/min is 35/50 of 0.15% of 50 l/min * ( 40 °C – 23 °C ) = ± 0.89 l/min.
The pressure error at 6bar relative and measured value 35l/min is
35/50 of 1% of 50 l/min = ± 0.35 l/min.
The error due to position dependence is a zero point error. This error, with vertical mounting position
and the front-facing display, is 35 l/min = 0.5% of 50 l/min * 6 = ± 1.5 l/min for the measured value.
The error of the display under deviating nominal conditions is derived from addition of the error values
spread, zero point, temperature, pressure and mounting position.
The actual flow rate is in the range 35 ± (0.7 + 0.5 + 0.89 + 0.35 + 1.5) l/min = 35 ± 3.94 l/min.
