Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a two-wire type electromagnetic flowmeter of this type, an exciting current at a predetermined frequency is applied to an exciting coil arranged such that a magnetic field is generated in a direction perpendicular to a flow direction of a fluid flowing in a measuring tube. Is supplied to detect the signal electromotive force (a signal proportional to the flow rate) obtained between the electrodes arranged in the measuring tube at right angles to the magnetic field generated by the exciting coil, and based on the detected signal electromotive force, the CPU Calculated value is calculated as 0 to 100% by calculation, and DC power supply (DC24V)
The current I (cable current) flowing through the two-wire cable that supplies the current is adjusted within the current range of 4 to 20 mA according to the measured value obtained above. In this case, the exciting voltage V EX and the exciting current I EX to the exciting coil are created by using the current flowing in the cable within the above current range.
That is, since the measured value is converted into a current signal in the range of 4 to 20 mA, the current that can be always secured in the excitation circuit is 4
Since only mA can be used, most of the 4 mA is excited by the exciting current I EX (I EX ≈4 m) in order to increase the signal electromotive force.
A). The excitation voltage V EX is 6V.

いう問題があった。In this two-wire type electromagnetic flowmeter, the signal electromotive force is expressed as e = k · B · v · D. In this equation, k is a constant, D is the diameter of the measuring tube, v is the average flow velocity, and B is the generated magnetic flux density. Here, B is proportional to the exciting current I EX, the signal electromotive force e is greater at the same flow rate by increasing the exciting current I EX. However, in the conventional case, the exciting current I EX is 4 m as described above.
It is regulated in A. Therefore, the signal electromotive force e is small, and the output is greatly fluctuated due to the influence of noise superimposed on the electrodes according to the flow velocity, that is, the ratio of the noise level included in the signal electromotive force e becomes higher as the flow rate becomes higher. Therefore, there is a problem that the S / N ratio is lowered and stable flow rate measurement cannot be performed.

改善が悪く、流量計測が不安定となる問題は依然として
残る。It is conceivable to switch the exciting current I EX to a large value depending on the measured value, that is, by utilizing the cable current I (4 to 20 mA) corresponding to the measured value.
For example, if the exciting current I EX is switched when the measured value is 50%, the cable current corresponding to this measured value is 12 mA, and the exciting coil has 12 mA-4.
Further current of mA = 8 mA can be passed. That is, a current of 8 mA in addition to the current value of 4 mA, that is, a total current of 12 mA can be passed, and a tripled signal electromotive force e can be obtained. However, in reality, if the exciting current I EX is made to flow too much,
The exciting coil does not start up within the current supply period. That is, during the current supply period, the exciting current I
It becomes impossible to obtain the specified magnetic force according to EX . Thus, by utilizing the cable current I of meeting the measured value even when to switch the exciting current I EX to a large value, the exciting current I EX is that only increase until it rises excitation coil in its current supply period I can't. Therefore, the signal electromotive force e does not increase so much, the improvement of the S / N ratio is poor, and the problem that the flow rate measurement becomes unstable remains.

ら８ｍＡの範囲で変化する。When a rectangular wave-shaped exciting current I EX flows at a predetermined frequency in the exciting coil 2, an AC magnetic field is generated in the measuring tube 1. As a result, a signal electromotive force is generated between the electrodes 4a and 4b due to the interaction between the flow velocity and the magnetic field, and this is detected by the signal electromotive force detection circuit 6. The detected signal electromotive force is sample-held by the sample-hold circuit 7 and sent to the CPU 9 via the A / D converter 8. The CPU 9 obtains a measured value as a 0 to 100% value by a predetermined calculation process based on the signal electromotive force sent thereto, and sends the obtained measured value to the output circuit 11 via the D / A converter 10. The output circuit 11 adjusts the current I (cable current) flowing through the cables L1 and L2 to a value within the range of 4 to 20 mA according to the measurement value sent from the CPU 10. As a result, in the period in which the measured value is 0% to 25%, the excitation current I EX is set to I EX1 = 4 mA, the excitation voltage V EX is set to V EX1 = 6 V, and the cable current I is set as shown as a region I in FIG.

As a result, the cable current I (12 mA) corresponding to the measured value exceeding 50% is supplied to the step-up circuit 12, and the exciting voltage V is generated by the step-up operation in the step-up circuit 12.

可能となる。As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, in the first invention, when the measured value exceeds the predetermined% value, the cable which responds to the measured value exceeding the predetermined% value. V EX1 to V of excitation voltage V EX using current
Conjunction with the step-up to the EX2, the exciting current I EX is from I EX1 I EX2
After the measured value exceeds the predetermined% value, it is possible to increase the exciting voltage V EX and accelerate the rise of the exciting coil to increase the exciting current I EX . This makes it possible to increase the signal electromotive force, increase the S / N ratio, and perform stable flow rate measurement even when the flow rate is high, after the measured value reaches the predetermined% value.
Further, in the second invention, when the measured value exceeds the first% value, the cable current corresponding to the measured value exceeding the first% value is used, and the excitation voltage V EX is changed from V EX1 to V EX 2 If the measured value exceeds the second% value, the second%
Using the cable current corresponding to the measured value exceeding the value, the excitation current I EX increases from I EX1 to I EX2 as the excitation voltage V EX is increased from V EX1 to V EX2 , and the first% value is obtained. In addition, the cable current corresponding to the voltage source ensures the step-up source of the excitation voltage V EX , and the cable current corresponding to the second% value secures the source of the increase in the excitation current I EX .
After the value exceeds the% value of, the rising of the exciting coil can be accelerated by increasing the exciting voltage V EX and the exciting current I EX can be increased. As a result, after the measured value reaches the second% value, it is possible to increase the signal electromotive force, increase the S / N ratio, and perform stable flow rate measurement even at high flow rates.
