Abstract

See full text

A system for utilizing more than one communication protocol on a single mass flow controller (MFC) device. Communication protocols include, but are not limited to, DeviceNet, RS-485, and analog. A D-Subminiature connector (D-Sub) of the MFC has a pin configuration system that is compatible between RS-485 and analog. In addition, a different connector plug is used for DeviceNet on the same MFC, eliminating the need for compatibility of pins with other communication protocols. Together, these above-mentioned configuration systems allow one MFC device to choose between more than one communication protocol.
