In what way do you mean "do any one have a solution for this"?

You will need the GSD file for the flow meter; ask the supplier for it.

You will need the manual for the flow meter and also the gsd file.
This will tell you what data areas can be used and what bytes or words within the data area are for what.
With this information you can write your code for the PLC
