Introduction FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication

Introduction
These pressure transmitters measure pressure by applying the pressure to a
piezoresistive silicon microsensor within the sensor assembly. The microsensor
converts the pressure to a change in resistance, and the resistance change is
converted to a signal that is proportional to the pressure.
• Absolute pressure transmitters measure pressure relative to vacuum. Gauge
pressure transmitters measure pressure relative to ambient air pressure. Both
absolute and gauge transmitters are used in a wide variety of oil, gas, water and
industrial applications.
• Differential pressure transmitters measure the difference between two pressures
applied to opposite sides of the sensor. The output signal is proportional to either
the differential pressure or its square root.
Differential pressure transmitters are often used for measuring fluid flow rates
across a primary device such as an orifice plate, but can also be used for other
types of differential pressure measurements such as liquid level, interface level,
or density measurements.
The FOUNDATION Fieldbus digital measurement signals are transmitted to remote
receivers over the same two wires that supply power to the transmitter electronics.
These wires also carry two-way data signals between the transmitter and remote
communication devices.
The pressure transmitter can be supplied with direct-connect or remote pressure
seals to isolate the measuring element from corrosive or viscous fluids.
The measurement signal is a FOUNDATION Fieldbus digital signal for full
communication with any FOUNDATION Fieldbus host equipped with a FOUNDATION
Fieldbus Interface Module. The communication functionality permits you to
reconfigure a transmitter from a remote Fieldbus host personal computer, or a DCS
equipped with a FOUNDATION Fieldbus Interface Module.
The FOUNDATION Fieldbus is an all-digital, serial, two-way communication system
that runs at 31.25 kbps, interconnecting a Fieldbus host and various field devices
such as process sensors/transmitters, valves/actuators, and controllers — all
connected in parallel to the same bus. Both ends of the bus must be terminated with
standard characteristic impedance networks to minimize reflected signals. Power to
all devices is supplied by a dc Fieldbus power source connected anywhere on the
bus.
NOTE: The power supply must be a FOUNDATION Fieldbus-compatible power
supply.
The communication signals between a Fieldbus host and all other bus-connected
devices, which are superimposed on the dc power signal on the bus, are controlled
according to a strict cycle schedule and protocol. During intervals when control and
measurement signals are not being transmitted according to the schedule, the
devices are free to communicate with each other for such functions as alarms, trend
recording/indicating, etc.
The FOUNDATION Fieldbus uses “Function Blocks” (standardized automation
functions) to implement measurement and control strategies. These blocks may be
distributed throughout the array of devices in whatever manner is most efficient. A
major advantage of the concept is that devices from many manufacturers can be
intermixed in a seamless and integrated manner. Since all devices in a system
connect to the same wire pair, the system requires less wire than comparable
systems, fewer intrinsic safety barriers, and fewer interface cards, resulting in
significant cost savings.
This FOUNDATION Fieldbus system implements the following blocks: Resource
Block, Transducer Block, Analog Input (AI) Blocks, Proportional Integral Derivative
(PID) Block, and Multiple Analog Output (MAO) Block.
• The Resource Block contains the FOUNDATION Fieldbus parameters needed to
define the device description for the transmitter.

MI 020-612 9
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication Introduction

• The Transducer Block handles all configurable parameters that define the sensor,
transmitter hardware, and manufacturer-specific data.
• The AI Blocks contain all configurable parameters needed to define the input data
for use with the other function blocks.
• The PID Block contains parameters required for PID control.
• The MAO Block is used to connect the optional digital display to external process
variables.

Electrical Connections
Field wires enter through 1/2 NPT or M20 threaded entrances on either side of the
electronics housing. Leads terminate under screw terminals and washers on the
terminal block in the field terminal compartment.

WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
To help prevent possible explosions and to maintain flameproof, explosionproof,
and dust-ignitionproof protection, observe applicable wiring practices. Plug the
unused conduit openings with approved conduit plugs. Both plug and conduit must
engage a minimum of five full threads for 1/2 NPT connections; seven full threads
for M20 connections.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

Switching and Indirect Lightning Transients

The transmitter can withstand a transient surge up to 2000 V (common mode) or
1000 V (normal mode) without permanent damage. The output shift is less than 1.0%.
(Per ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1980 and IEC Std. 61000-4-5.)

Field Wiring Reversal

The field wiring is polarity insensitive. Reversing the field wiring does not damage the
transmitter; the transmitter functions when wired either way.

Adjustable Damping
Damping is user-selectable to values of 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 seconds.
Selecting a value of DAMP 0 in the Damping menu provides the fastest response.

Output Signal
FOUNDATION Fieldbus square root (for DP only) or FOUNDATION Fieldbus linear.
The digital output is software-selectable and remotely configurable from a
FOUNDATION Fieldbus host computer or a console equipped with a FOUNDATION
Fieldbus Interface Module. It is also locally configurable with the pushbuttons on the
optional display.

Calibration High Point and Calibration Low Point

The transmitter’s span, or calibrated range, is adjustable using two points: the
Calibration High Point (100% of the transmitter’s calibrated range) and Calibration
Low Point (0% of the transmitter’s calibrated range). Calibrated range is adjustable
from a FOUNDATION Fieldbus host computer, a console equipped with a
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Interface Module, or the transmitter’s pushbuttons on the
optional local display.

External Zero Adjustment

An optional external self-contained moisture-sealed pushbutton allows you to locally
reset to zero without removing the housing cover.

Cable Shielding
For best performance, fieldbus cables should be shielded. Use common multi-
conductor (multi-core) “instrument cable” with one or more twisted pairs; an overall,
metallized shield; and a shield wire. You can also use cable that has individually
shielded pairs. For new installations, ask cable vendors for “fieldbus cable.”
Connect the shield on each spur to the trunk shield. Connect the overall shield to
ground at one point only. For most networks, the grounding point can be located
anywhere.
In some instances, better high-frequency EMI shielding requires that the shield be
connected to ground at multiple points.30 Fieldbus provides for this by allowing an RF
ground at multiple points, consisting of a small capacitor from shield to ground.

Supply Voltage
The power supply (a FOUNDATION Fieldbus Power Supply Module) must be capable
of providing at least 17 mA for each transmitter connected.
The following table summarizes the requirements.

Minimum Supply Voltage 9 V dc

Recommended Supply Voltage 24 V dc

Maximum Supply Voltage 32 V dc

30. See Mardiguian, M., and White, D. R. J., EMI Control Methodology and Procedures.

MI 020-612 19
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication Introduction

Electrical Ground Connections

The transmitter is equipped with an internal ground connection within the field wiring
compartment and an external ground connection at the base of the electronics
housing. To minimize galvanic corrosion, place the wire lead or contact between the
captive washer and loose washer on the external ground screw.
Do not ground the shield at the transmitter. Ground the shield at one place per
segment only. Refer to MI 020-360 for wiring guidelines.

Remote Communication
The transmitter communicates bidirectionally over the 2-wire field wiring to other
FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices located anywhere in a Division 2 or nonhazardous
area, a FOUNDATION Fieldbus host anywhere in a nonhazardous area and/or to a
DCS equipped with a FOUNDATION Fieldbus Interface Module.

Communication Format
Communication is based upon the FOUNDATION Fieldbus communication protocol.
The signals are superimposed on the transmitter power/signal leads.

Digital Output
The transmitter sends its pressure measurement to a DCS as a digital signal. Remote
communication can occur between the transmitter and other FOUNDATION Fieldbus
devices and hosts.

Data transmission rate 31.25 kbits/second

Maximum communication distance, including spur length 1,900 m (6,235 ft)

Minimum spur length 1 m (3.3 ft)

Maximum spur length for intrinsically safe installations 30 m (98 ft)

Installation
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
The main electronics enclosure for some models is manufactured from an
aluminum alloy. In rare cases, ignition sources due to impact and friction sparks
could occur. This must be considered during installation, particularly if the
equipment is installed in a Zone 0 location.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
RISK OF ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE AND DUST INGRESS
• When installed in a flammable dust zone, under certain extreme circumstances
an incendive electrostatic charge may build up on the painted surfaces, which
are non-conducting. Therefore, take precautions to prevent the build-up of
electrostatic charge; for example, place the equipment in a location where a
charge-generating mechanism (such as wind-blown dust) is unlikely to be
present, and clean with a damp cloth.
• When installed in a flammable dust zone, ensure that the cable entry maintains
the dust-tightness (IP6X) of the enclosure.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

NOTICE
POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
To avoid damage to the transmitter sensor, do not use any impact devices, such as
an impact wrench or stamping device, on the transmitter.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Transmitter Mounting
All transmitters can be mounted to a vertical or horizontal pipe or surface using the
optional mounting set. See Pipe Mounting, page 24 and Surface Mounting, page 25.
In addition, direct connect (non-biplanar) absolute and gauge pressure transmitters
can be connected directly to the process; see Direct Connected AP and GP
Transmitter Mounting, page 25. Differential pressure transmitters can be supported by
the process piping; see Process Mounting of a DP Transmitter Supported by Process
Piping, page 26.
Refer to Dimensions, page 111 for dimensional information.
When mounting the transmitter, take these considerations into account:
• Mount the transmitter so that any moisture condensing or draining into the field
wiring compartment can exit through one of the two threaded conduit
connections.
• Use a suitable thread sealant on all connections.
• Do not mount the transmitter directly to the process using the 1/4 NPT internal
thread. Use this thread only to connect to the process when the transmitter is
mounted with an optional mounting set (Options -M1 through -M8).

MI 020-612 23
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication Installation

• Do not mount the transmitter using the conduit connection and optional mounting
set (-M1 through -M6) when vibration conditions exceed 20 m/s2 (2 “g”).
• If the transmitter is not installed in the vertical position, readjust the zero output to
help eliminate the position zero effect.
NOTE: An absolute pressure transmitter cannot be zeroed by venting the
transmitter to atmosphere.
• If structure codes 78/79 (PVDF inserts) are used with the transmitter, make the
process connection directly to the PVDF inserts in the high and low side process
covers.
• Where necessary, intrinsically safe equipment may be connected and
disconnected while the circuits are energized.
• When used in a dust zone with flammable dusts, fibers, and flyings in groups IIIA,
IIB, or IIC, the layer auto-ignition temperature must be at least 75°C greater than
the maximum surface temperature marked in the dust coding.
• The equipment is certified for use only in ambient temperatures marked on the
equipment and should not be used outside this range.
• Do not exceed the maximum process pressure indicated on the marking.
• There are no special checking or maintenance conditions. Periodically inspect all
explosion-protected equipment in accordance with the applicable code of
practice.

• If the transmitter is to be mounted horizontally (side of a tank), orient the housing

so that the vent is self-draining. Do not mount the vent facing up.
• If the vent faces downward, remove the protective cap.
• If the vent clogs, replace it with Part Number D0186DQ (W.L.Gore part number
PMF200444). Stock vents and replace them at a predetermined interval as part of
preventive maintenance. When installing a new vent, apply torque of
0.6 to 0.8 N-m (5 to 7 lbf-in).
• If the transmitter is subject to routine washdown such as in typical sanitary
applications and the vent is oriented so that it is self-draining, the vent will stay
clear, and longer intervals between preventive maintenance may be realized.
• If the vent becomes clogged, the resulting pressure measurement error may be
as much as 1.5 inH2O per degree C change in temperature. This value is positive
with decreasing temperature, and negative with increasing temperature.

Welding the Tank Spud

Weld the tank spud into a hole cut in the tank as follows:
1. Cut a hole into the process vessel to accept the spud. The spud should fit snugly
and uniformly. The nominal diameter of the spud is 3.73 inch (94.7 mm). To
assure that the seal is always covered by process fluid, the top of the hole should
be below the minimum measurement level.
2. Position the spud mounting ring so that it aligns as closely as possible with the
inside wall of the tank, and the weep hole is at the bottom.
3. Tack weld the spud mounting ring to the outside of the tank in four places.
4. Weld the spud mounting ring to the inner surface of the tank:
a. Spud is 316 stainless steel. Use a compatible welding rod. Do not distort the
spud mounting ring by using excessive heat.
b. Weld the spud mounting ring in sections as indicated in the diagram.
c. After each section is welded, cool right away with water until the temperature
is less than 370°C (700°F) before welding the next section.
5. Grind the weld smooth so the surface is free from irregularities where dirt can
lodge.

2. Position the sleeve into the hole so that it aligns as closely as possible with the
inside wall of the vessel.
3. Tack weld using the welding sequence shown in Welding Procedure, page 28.
Cool each section with water until the temperature is below 370°C (700°F) before
proceeding to the next section.
4. Weld the circumference of the sleeve using a compatible stainless steel welding
rod.
NOTE: The welder should meet the requirements of ANSI B31.3, ASME
Section IX, or other codes, if applicable.
5. Lubricate the o-ring with appropriate lubricant and install it into the sleeve,
ensuring that it is properly seated.

tight.
Tighten bolts, plugs, and screws to approximately the following torque values:
• Process connector bolts: 61 N-m (45 lbf-ft)
• Drain plugs: 47 N-m (35 lbf-ft)
• Vent and drain screws: 6.8 N-m (5 lbf-ft)
NOTE: The use of snubbers is recommended in installations that are prone to
high levels of fluid pulsations.
For hot process applications greater than the operative limits of your transmitter36 —
such as steam — additional piping is required to help protect the transmitter from the
hot process as shown in the diagram. The piping is filled with water or process fluid.
Mount the transmitter below the pressure connection at the pipe.

Installation of Flow Measurement Piping

Refer to the diagrams for typical installations with horizontal and vertical process
pipes.
The transmitters are shown below the level of the pressure connections at the pipe
(usual arrangement, except for gas flow without a seal liquid), and with filling tees in
the lines to the transmitter (for a seal liquid).
If the process fluid being measured must not come into contact with the transmitter,
the transmitter lines must be filled with a suitable seal liquid as described in Filling the
System with Seal Liquid, page 42. In such a case, mount the transmitter below the
level of the pressure connections at the pipe. With steam flow, the lines are filled with
water to protect the transmitter from the hot steam. The seal liquid (or water) is added
to the lines through the filling tees. To prevent unequal heads on the transmitter, the
tees must be at the same elevation, and the transmitter must be mounted vertically as
shown. If a seal liquid is not required, elbows can be used in place of the tees.
Tighten drain plugs and optional vent screws to 20 N-m (15 lbf-ft). Tighten the four
process connector bolts to a torque of 61 N-m (45 lbf-ft).
The low and high pressure sides of the transmitter are identified by an L-H marking on
the side of the sensor above the label.
With medium viscosity seal liquids and/or long transmitter lines, use larger valve
sizes.
• With a horizontal line, pressure connections at the pipe should be at the side of
the line. However, with gas flow without a seal liquid, connections should be at
the top of the line.
• With a vertical line, flow should be upwards.
• For liquid or steam flow, the transmitter should be mounted lower than the
pressure connections at the pipe.
• For gas flow without a seal liquid, the transmitter should be mounted higher than
the pressure connections at the pipe.
• For gas flow with a seal liquid, the transmitter should be mounted lower than the
pressure connections.
• It is recommended to use snubbers in installations prone to high levels of fluid
pulsations.

Filling the System with Seal Liquid

If the process fluid being measured must not come into contact with the transmitter,
the transmitter lines must be filled with a suitable seal liquid as follows:

NOTICE
POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND PROCESS FLUID CONTAMINATION
To help prevent loss of seal liquid and contamination of process fluid, never open
both process shutoff valves and manifold shutoff valves if the bypass valve is open.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage and
process fluid contamination.

1. If the transmitter is in service, follow the procedure in Taking a Differential

Pressure Transmitter out of Operation, page 51.
2. Close both process shutoff valves.
3. Open all three valves on the 3-valve manifold.
4. Partially open the vent screws on the transmitter until all air has been forced out
of the transmitter body and lines. Close the vent screws.
5. Refill the tee connections. Replace the plugs and close the bypass valve. Check
for leaks.
6. Follow the procedure in Putting a Differential Pressure Transmitter into Operation,
page 50.

Positioning the Housing

The transmitter housing (topworks) can be rotated up to one full turn in the
counterclockwise direction when viewed from above for optimum access to
adjustments, display, or conduit connections. The housing has a retention clip that
keeps the housing from being rotated beyond a safe depth of housing/sensor thread
engagement.

NOTICE
POTENTIAL VIBRATION EFFECTS
If you remove the housing for maintenance, do not over-tighten it upon reassembly.
Hand-tighten it to the bottom of the threads, then back off a half-turn
counterclockwise to avoid bottoming out the housing to the sensor.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in amplified vibration effects.

Wiring the Transmitter

Transmitters with a digital output signal connect to a FOUNDATION Fieldbus host or a
distributed control system (DCS) through the fieldbus. The maximum recommended
length for field wire is 1800 m (6000 ft). Transmitter power is supplied by a
FOUNDATION Fieldbus power supply module.
This procedure identifies wire terminations in the transmitter. For other system wiring
details, refer to the installation instructions provided with the DCS. Use the following
procedure to wire the transmitter:
1. Remove the cover from the transmitter field terminal compartment.

48 MI 020-612
Installation FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication

2. Run signal wires (0.50 mm2 or 18 AWG, typical) through one of the transmitter
conduit connections. Use shielded, twisted-pair cable to help protect the digital
output and/or remote communications from electrical noise.
NOTE: Do not run transmitter wires in the same conduit as the mains (ac
power) wires.
3. Plug the unused conduit connection.

WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
To help prevent possible explosions and to maintain flameproof,
explosionproof, and dust-ignitionproof protection, observe applicable wiring
practices. Plug the unused conduit openings with approved conduit plugs. Both
plug and conduit must engage a minimum of five full threads for 1/2 NPT
connections; seven full threads for M20 connections.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

4. Connect a ground wire to the ground terminal in accordance with local practice.

NOTICE
POTENTIAL REDUCED PERFORMANCE OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
If the signal circuit must be grounded, it is preferable to ground it at the
negative terminal of the dc power supply. To avoid errors resulting from ground
loops or the possibility of short-circuiting groups of instruments in a loop, there
should be only one ground in a loop.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in reduced performance or
equipment damage.

5. Connect the FOUNDATION Fieldbus bus to the two terminals on the terminal
block in the field terminal compartment.

NOTICE
POTENTIAL PROCESS DISRUPTION
When attaching the transmitter to a running process, it is recommended that
the transmitter not have an address configured.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in disruption to the
process.

6. Reinstall the cover onto the housing by rotating it clockwise to seat the o-ring into
the housing, then continue to hand-tighten until the cover contacts the housing
metal-to-metal. If cover locks are present, lock the cover as described in Cover
Locks, page 46.

Operation with the Local Display

The local display provides local indication of measurement information on two lines.
The upper line displays five digits (four digits when a minus sign is needed); the lower
line displays seven alphanumeric characters.
During normal transmitter operation, the display shows the primary measurement
(M1), secondary measurement (M2), and optionally, process variable 1 (labeled “A”),
process variable 2 (labeled “B”), process variable 3 (labeled “C”), and/or process
variable 4 (labeled “D”), depending on how you configure the transmitter.
• If configured as Show 1, the display shows the primary measurement value (M1)
and the configured units.
• If configured as Show 2, the display shows the secondary measurement value
(M2) and the configured units.
• If process variables 1, 2, 3, or 4 are configured, Show A, Show B, Show C, and
Show D menu selections also appear. If configured Show A, for example, the
display shows process variable 1 and its configured units during normal
transmitter operation.
• To temporarily view the next measurement(s), press the ENTER button. M2
appears briefly. Press ENTER again to advance to the first process variable (if
configured), and again to cycle through each of the remaining process variables.
After the last measurement or process variable appears, the display reverts to the
configured value.
• If configured as Rotate, the display cycles through the primary measurement
(M1), secondary measurement (M2), PV1 (A), PV2 (B), PV3 (C), and PV4 (D).
When M2 is displayed, the digit 2 blinks in the lower right of the display; when one
of the process variables is displayed, the A, B, C, or D character blinks in the
lower right corner of the display.
NOTE:
• If the displayed measurement is more than five digits, “99999” flashes on the
display. Selecting different engineering units (EGUs) may result in a shorter
measurement that can fit on the display.
• For AP transmitters, “a” is typically added to the EGU name on the display
(for example, psia or mmHga). However, if the EGU name is six characters
long, the “a” is not added.

Reranging
Since the transmitter continuously determines an internal digital value of the
measured pressure from the lower range limit (LRL) to the upper range limit (URL),
the operating range (LRV and URV) can be assigned to any pressure values within
the span and range limits, without the application of pressure.
• Reranging does not affect the calibration of the transmitter; that is, it does not
affect the optimization of the internal digital value of pressure over a specific
calibrated range.
• If the reranged LRV and URV are not within the calibrated range, the measured
values may not be as accurate as when the LRV and URV are within the
calibrated range.
• If you need to perform a span calibration after reranging the transmitter, be sure
to perform an offset calibration (Cal LRV) before performing the span calibration
(Cal URV) operation. If you do not perform the offset calibration, you may get a
BADSPAN message.
You can rerange the transmitter by entering new database values for the LRV and
URV.
1. With the transmitter in normal operating mode, press the NEXT button to access
the transmitter’s top level menu. The first menu item is RERANGE. Press ENTER
to select it.
2. Use the procedure in Entering Strings and Numeric Values, page 53 to adjust
M1_URV and/or M1_LRV as desired.
• To edit the upper range value, press ENTER at the M1_URV prompt.
• To edit the lower range value, press ENTER at the M1_LRV prompt.

NOTE: For DP transmitters, M1_LRV is bypassed if M1 MODE is configured as

square root, because M1_LRV must be zero.

If your transmitter was ordered with optional feature -C2, the factory default values
were customized.

Configuration Using the Optional Local Display

To access configuration mode from normal operating mode, repeatedly press the
NEXT button until the display reads CONFIG. Press the ENTER button to select
CONFIG. The display shows the first item in the Configuration menu.
NOTE:
• The standard factory default configuration is not used if model code option -C2
was specified for the order. Option -C2 is a custom factory configuration to user
specifications.
• You can configure most parameters using the local display. For more complete
configuration capability, use a Device Description (DD) from the FOUNDATION
Fieldbus host system or a Device Type Manager (DTM) from a PC-based
configurator.
• During configuration, a single change could affect several parameters. For this
reason, if you make a mistake, review the entire database. Or, use the CANCEL
feature to restore the transmitter to its starting configuration and begin again.
Proceed to configure your transmitter by using the NEXT and ENTER buttons to make
your selections. Refer to the menu structure diagrams and accompanying table for

Configuration Menu Items

In general, use the NEXT button to select an item, and the ENTER button to specify a
selection.

Item Description Default

EX ZERO38 The External Zero feature allows you to enable or disable the optional external zero Disabled
pushbutton.

Navigate to the EX ZERO menu selection and press ENTER. Use the NEXT button to select
EXZ DIS (disable) or EXZ ENA (enable), and press ENTER.

(FF CAL_AT_ZERO)

DAMPING Damping can be set to 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 seconds. DAMP1/4

To configure damping, navigate to the DAMPING menu selection and press ENTER. Use
the NEXT button to select the desired damping value, then press ENTER.
NOTE: Selecting a value of DAMP 0 provides the fastest response; selecting DAMP 0
also disables the Display block.
(FF SENSOR_DAMPING)

M1 DISP If the primary output is in linear mode, this parameter allows you to configure the display to Engineering units
show engineering units or percent of span. (If the primary output is a square root flow
calculation, M1 DISP is not available.)

To configure the display to show engineering units or percent, navigate to the M1 DISP
menu selection and press ENTER. Use the NEXT button to select M1_EGU or LIN PCT and
press ENTER.

LIN PCT only provides percent readings on the display. The M1 engineering unit is used for
remote communication of Measurement #1, even if LIN PCT is selected.

M1_EGU This parameter allows you to set the engineering units for the primary measurement. inH2O or psi

Select one of the following pressure units for your display and transmission: Pa, MPa, kPa,
hPa, bar, mbar, torr, atm, psi, g/cm2, kg/cm2, inH2O (4°C), inH2O (68°F), mmH2O (4°C),
mmH2O (68°F), ftH2O (4°C), ftH2O (68°F), inHg (0°C), mmHg (0°C).

The transmitter then automatically adjusts M1EFAC (engineering factor), M1_URV (upper
range value), M1_LRV (lower range value), and defaults the M1EOFF parameter to zero.

(FF PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE)

M1EOFF This parameter allows you to configure an offset value to apply to the primary measurement. 0

You can introduce an offset by entering a nonzero value for M1EOFF. The offset affects the
value of the PV that is transmitted in engineering units and shown on the display.

This feature can be used in applications such as an elevated water storage tank where the
transmitter is at grade level but the output corresponds to the level of the tank. An offset
value can also be used for a grade level water storage tank where the transmitter is installed
above the bottom of the tank where the output should correspond to the level in the tank.

(FF PRIMARY_VALUE_OFFSET)

M1_URV This parameter allows you to configure the upper range value of the primary measurement. URL

To edit the upper range value of the primary measurement, navigate to the M1_URV menu
selection and press ENTER. Define your URV. (See Entering Strings and Numeric Values,
page 53.)
NOTE: M1_URV must never be less than M1_LRV. In addition, the difference between
URV and LRV must be greater than the minimum span, less than the maximum span,
within the maximum range, and within the sensor range.
(FF PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE)

NOTE: M1_LRV must never be greater than M1_URV. In addition, the difference
between URV and LRV must be greater than the minimum span, less than the
maximum span, within the maximum range, and within the sensor range.
(FF PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE)

M2 MODE M2 is a secondary measurement that can be shown on the display. You might use this Linear
feature to display M1 in your primary pressure units, and M2 in a different set of pressure
units.

For AP and GP transmitters, the secondary output is in linear mode, which corresponds to
pressure units. For DP transmitters, M2 can also be configured to a square root mode,
which corresponds to flow units. To configure the mode of the secondary output, press
ENTER at the M2 MODE prompt, and then use the NEXT button to select one of the
following:
• M2 LIN: Linear (pressure units)
• M2SQ<1C: Square root flow calculation with cutoff below 1% of calibrated differential
pressure range
• M2SQ<4L: Square root flow calculation with linear extrapolation below 4% of
calibrated differential pressure range
• M2SQ<nC: Square root flow calculation with a user-configured cutoff specified
between 0 and 20% of the flow upper range value, M2EFAC
(FF THIRD_VALUE_TYPE)

M2_EGU This parameter allows you to set the engineering units for the secondary measurement. Same as M1_EGU
• When M2 MODE is set to M2 LIN:
1. Select one of the following pressure engineering units for your display and
transmission: Pa, MPa, kPa, hPa, bar, mbar, torr, atm, psi, g/cm2, kg/cm2,

ftH2O (68°F), inHg (0°C), mmHg (0°C).
2. The transmitter then automatically adjusts M2EFAC (engineering factor), M2_
URV (upper range value), M2_LRV (lower range value), and defaults the
M2EOFF parameter to zero.
• For DP transmitters only, when M2 MODE is set to any of the square root settings
(M2SQ<1C, M2SQ<4L, or M2SQ<nC):
1. Select one of the following flow engineering units for your display and
transmission: g/s, g/min, g/h, kg/s, kg/min, kg/h, kg/d, t/min, t/h, t/d, lb/s, lb/min,
lb/h, lb/d, STon/min, STon/h, STon/d, LTon/h, LTon/d, %, m3/s, m3/min, m3/h,

bbl/d, Nm3/h, Sm3/h, NL/h, MSCFD, MMSCFD.
2. Check the M2EFAC (M2 engineering factor) and adjust it if necessary.
(FF THIRD_VALUE_RANGE)

M2EFAC For DP transmitters, the M2EFAC parameter is the numerical relationship between the n/a
measured span in pressure units and the displayed (and transmitted) span in flow units. It is
the displayed URV in flow units (which is also the span in flow units, since flow ranges must
be zero-based).

For example, for a 200 inH2O transmitter with a measured range of 0 to 100 inH2O and
displayed range of 0 to 500 gal/m, set M2EFAC to 500.
NOTE: Actual flow rates in the process are dependent upon your specific installation
(pipe diameter, for example). Be sure to use values for M1EFAC and M2EFAC that
correspond to your installation and process conditions.
To edit the span in your configured flow units, navigate to the M2EFAC menu selection and
press ENTER. (See Entering Strings and Numeric Values, page 53.)

Configuration from a FOUNDATION Fieldbus Host

A FOUNDATION Fieldbus system has two main parts:
• A Control Application Process (CAP), which contains the Resource Block, the
Analog Input Blocks, and a PID Block if one is used. The contents of these blocks
are defined by the Fieldbus Foundation and are configured by the host, often
using a template.
• A Device Application Process (DAP), which contains the Transducer Block. Its
contents vary with the product and are usually configured by an operator using
fieldbus configurator software.
The Device Address and Device Tag must be configured for the device to operate with
a DCS system. Neither the Address nor the Tag can be configured with the DD or

39. DP transmitters only.

70 MI 020-612
Configuration FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication

DTM. The Address must be set to a temporary address to configure the Tag, then set
back to a working address for device operation. On some DCS systems, the Address
is handled automatically and the user never has to know the details. The Tag is
essential to map the device into the proper control strategy. Refer to your DCS
documentation for details.
The configuration procedures in this section focus on setting the configurable
parameters of the Transducer Block. They also describe scaling parameters in the
Analog Input Blocks that must also be set. Refer to Appendix A: FOUNDATION
Fieldbus Parameters, page 169 for more information about the parameters.

Transmitter FOUNDATION Fieldbus Block Model

The transmitter uses the following FOUNDATION Fieldbus block types:
• One Resource Block, which contains all the device-specific features of the
transmitter.
• One Transducer Block, which configures the measurement and display.
• One Display Block, which can collect external process variables.
• Multiple Function blocks, each of which executes different application functions of
the transmitter:
◦ Three Analog Input (AI) Function Blocks, of which two can be instantiated in
addition to one permanent block. Block instantiation is done by the host
control system or the DTM. Refer to the host or DTM manual for more
information.
◦ One PID Function Block. The PID block may be used in conjunction with
internal blocks, external blocks, or both internal and external blocks.

Common Parameter Type Definitions

• *_ALM: The DCS uses this alarm type parameter to synchronize alarm states.

MI 020-612 71
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication Configuration

The first element of the *_ALM parameter is the Unacknowledge subparameter,

which may be set to one of the following states:
◦ 0: Undefined
◦ 1: Acknowledged
◦ 2: Unacknowledged
On power-up, the Unacknowledge subparameter will always be set to
Undefined. When an alarm occurs, it will be set to Unacknowledged, and must
be manually set to Acknowledged.
• *_PRI: These parameters set the priority of the associated alarm of the same
name, and can have one of the following values:
◦ 0: Disabled
◦ 1: Local Alarm
◦ 2: Block Level Alarm
◦ 3–7: Advisory Level Alarm
◦ 8–15: Critical Level Alarm

Resource Block
The Resource Block is used to define hardware-specific characteristics of the
Function Block Applications. It provides the manufacturer name, device name, DD,
block status, and hardware details. It also indicates how much resource (memory and
CPU) is available and controls the overall device. All data is modeled within a
controlled space so that no outside inputs into this block are required; that is, the
Resource block cannot be linked to other blocks.
This parameter set is intended to be the minimum required for the function block
application associated with the resource in which it resides. Some parameters that
could be in the set, such as calibration data and ambient temperature, are part of their
own respective transducer blocks.
Standard FOUNDATION Fieldbus parameters MANUFAC_ID, DEV_TYPE, DEV_
REV, and DD_REV are required to identify and locate the DD so that Device
Description Hosting Services can select the correct DD. See Installing the
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Support Files, page 50. The parameter HARD_TYPES is a
read-only bit string that indicates the types of hardware that are available to this
resource.
Refer to Resource Block Parameters, page 169 for details about the Resource Block
parameters.

Operating Mode
The “mode” is used to control major states of the resource, and is set by means of the
MODE_BLK parameter group. The Resource Block supports the following operating
modes:
• OOS (out of service) mode stops all function block execution. The actual mode of
the function blocks is changed to OOS, but the target mode is not changed.
• Auto (automatic) mode allows normal operation of the resource.
NOTE: The OOS block status is also displayed by means of the BLOCK_ERR
parameter, described in Resource Block Parameters, page 169. In OOS mode, all
write parameters can be accessed without restriction if write protection has not
been enabled.

Block Status
The RS_STATE parameter contains the operational state of the Function Block
Application for the resource containing this resource block.
• STANDBY: The Resource Block is in the OOS operating mode. It is not possible
to execute the remaining function blocks.
• ONLINE LINKING: The configured connections between the function blocks have
not yet been established.
• ONLINE: Normal operating status, the Resource Block is in the AUTO operating
mode. The configured connections between the function blocks have been
established.

RESTART Parameter

NOTICE
RISK OF PROCESS DISRUPTION
Restart will disrupt or stop an instrument working in a running process. Consider the
impact on a running process prior to using the RESTART parameter.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in disruption of the process.

The RESTART parameter allows degrees of initialization of the resource. They are:
• Run: Passive state of the parameter
• Restart Resource: Restarts the Resource block; intended to clear up problems
(for example, the memory management resource)
• Defaults: Restarts with the specified FOUNDATION Fieldbus parameters’ default
values
• Restart Processor: Provides a way to reset the processor associated with the
resource
• Restart Factory Defaults: All device parameters, including communications, Tag,
and Address are reset to default values
• Restart Factory Configuration: Resets all device parameters to the condition at
delivery
• Restart Factory Instantiation: Sets all blocks back to the condition at delivery and
restores all AI blocks

Timeout for Remote Cascade Modes

Parameters SHED_RCAS and SHED_ROUT set the time limit for loss of
communication from a remote device. These constants are used by all function blocks
that support a remote cascade mode. The effect of a timeout is described in Mode
Calculation. Shedding from RCAS/ROUT does not happen when SHED_RCAS or
SHED_ROUT is set to zero.

Alert Notification
The MAX_NOTIFY parameter value is the maximum number of alert reports that this
resource can have sent without getting a confirmation, corresponding to the amount of
buffer space available for alert messages. You can set the number lower than that, to
control alert flooding, by adjusting the LIM_NOTIFY parameter value. If LIM_NOTIFY
is set to zero, no alerts are reported.
The CONFIRM_TIME parameter is the time for the resource to wait for confirmation of
receipt of a report before trying again. If CONFIRM_TIME=0, the device does not
retry.

FEATURES and FEATURE_SEL Parameters

These parameters determine optional behavior of the resource. FEATURES defines
the available features and is read-only. FEATURE_SEL is used to turn on an available
feature by configuration.
The device supports the following features:
• Reports
• Fault State
• Hard Write Lock
• Change of BYPASS in automatic mode
• Multi-bit Alarm (Bit-Alarm)
• Deferral of Inter-Parameter Write Checks

Fault State for Function Block

If you set the SET_FSTATE parameter, the FAULT_STATE parameter indicates active
and causes all output function blocks in the resource to go immediately to the
condition chosen by the fault state Type I/O option. It can be cleared by setting the
CLR_FSTATE parameter. The set and clear parameters do not appear in a view
because they are momentary.

Write Lock
The write protect jumper enables or disables write protection of parameters. Device
data cannot be altered via the FOUNDATION Fieldbus interface when write protection
is on. Similarly, device data can be altered when the write protect jumper is off. See
Setting the Write Protect Jumper, page 44.
The WRITE_LOCK parameter shows the status of the write protect jumper. The
following statuses are possible:
• LOCKED: The device data cannot be altered via the FOUNDATION Fieldbus
interface.
• UNLOCKED: The device data can be altered via the FOUNDATION Fieldbus
interface.
If write protection is disabled, the alarm priority specified in the WRITE_PRI parameter
is checked before the status change is relayed to the host system. The alarm priority
specifies the behavior in the event of an active write protection alarm WRITE_ALM.

Other Implemented Features

• The CYCLE_TYPE parameter is a bit string that defines the types of cycles that
this resource can do. CYCLE_SEL allows the configurator to choose one of
them.
• MIN_CYCLE_T is the manufacturer specified minimum time to execute a cycle. It
puts a lower limit on the scheduling of the resource.
• The MEMORY_SIZE parameter declares the size of the resource for
configuration of instantiable function blocks, in kilobytes.
• The FREE_SPACE parameter shows the percentage of configuration memory
that is still available.
• FREE_TIME shows the approximate percentage of time that the resource has left
for instantiating new function blocks, should they be available. There are only two
AI blocks available for instantiation, for a total of 3 AI blocks.

Block Error
The BLOCK_ERR parameter reflects the following causes:
• Out-of-Service: When the Actual mode is Out of Service.
• Power Up: When a reset occurs and the Target Mode is not AUTO.
• Device Needs Maintenance Now: When there is an error detected in NV or Static
memory.
A reset will try to restore data from a backup copy, but if that is not successful, the
device is set back to defaults.
• Lost NV Data and Lost Static Data: When the Target Mode is Out-of-Service
since the last hard reset.
• Device Fault State Set: When FAULT_STATE is active.
• Simulate Active: When simulation jumper is installed (see Setting the Simulate
Jumper, page 45).

FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication Configuration

The Field Diagnostic (FD) group of parameters in the Resource block comply with the
FOUNDATION Fieldbus implementation of the NAMUR NE 107 Specification. The
following conditions are configurable in this device:

1 Sensor Board Bad Status

2 Sensor Board Comm Alert
3 Electronics Over Temperature

4 Electronics Under Temperature

5 Transducer block in Check condition

The conditions are defined the same for all Field Diagnostic parameters. For example,
if the Electronics Over Temperature bit is set in the FD_FAIL_MAP parameter and
the value of the electronics temperature (FOURTH_VALUE in the Transducer block)
exceeds 85°C, then the Electronics Over Temperature bit is set by the instrument in
the FD_FAIL_ACTIVE parameter. When the temperature is reduced, the
Electronics Over Temperature bit is reset in the FD_FAIL_ACTIVE parameter.
FOUNDATION Fieldbus can communicate diagnostics to a host without the host
having to poll or query the device. For example, the Electronics Over Temperature
condition is sent to a host that is set up to receive Field Diagnostics without being
queried when:
• The Electronics Over Temperature bit is set in the FD_FAIL_ACTIVE
parameter
• The Electronics Over Temperature bit is not set in the FD_FAIL_MASK
parameter, and
• The FD_FAIL_PRI has a value greater than 1.
The category to which an alarm condition is assigned depends on the host and the
application where the instrument is installed. The FAIL category is generally expected
to alert the plant operator, while the other categories (Maintenance, OffSpec, and
Check) are recorded in a host maintenance log.
Sometimes the same condition may be assigned to multiple categories. Only failures
in critical instrument roles are sent to an operator; for example, the failure of an
instrument that plays only a minor role in a plant may only be a maintenance issue.
The priority is set by the host design.

Transducer Block
The Transducer Block contains all of the manufacturer-specific parameters that define
how the pressure transmitter functions. All of the settings directly connected with the
application (pressure measurement) are made here. They form the interface between
sensor-specific measured value processing and the Analog Input function blocks
required for automation. Selections, such as setting of input type, engineering units,
and so forth, are performed in this block. The Transducer Block allows you to select a
large number of sophisticated functions. See Transducer Block Parameters, page 177
for the full list of parameters.
A Transducer Block allows you to influence the input and output variables of a function
block. The parameters of a Transducer Block include information on the sensor
configuration, physical units, calibration, damping, error messages, as well as the
device-specific parameters.

Alarm Detecting and Processing

The Transducer Block does not generate any process alarms. The status of the
process variables is evaluated in the downstream Analog Input function blocks. If the
Analog Input function block receives no input value that can be evaluated from the
Transducer Block, then a process alarm is generated. This process alarm is displayed
in the BLOCK_ERR parameter of the Analog Input function block (BLOCK_ERR=
Input Failure).
The BLOCK_ERR parameter of the Transducer Block displays the device error that
produced the input value that could not be evaluated and thus triggered the process
alarm in the Analog Input function block.

Selecting the Units

The system units selected in the Transducer Blocks do not have any effect on the
desired units that will be transmitted by means of the FOUNDATION Fieldbus
interface. This setting is made separately via the corresponding AI Block in the XD_
SCALE parameter group. The unit selected in the Transducer Blocks is only used for
the local display and for displaying the measured values within the Transducer Block
in the configuration program in question.

Configuring Parameters in the Transducer Block

1. Open the Transducer Block. Put the block Out Of Service by setting MODE_
BLK•Target to OOS.
2. Set PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE•EU_100 and PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE•EU_
0, and set the PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE•UNITS_INDEX to a pressure
engineering unit, such as inH2O or kg/cm2 (see Pressure Unit Names and Unit
Codes, page 78). This operation is called reranging the transmitter, and allows
you to set the operating range (URV-LRV), which is limited to the sensor range
(URL-LRL). A pressure outside of this range ±10% results in a blinking
measurement on the display and a FOUNDATION Fieldbus status of Uncertain.
3. Set the THIRD_VALUE_TYPE to one of the following:
• Pressure Linear: Pressure units.
• Square Root < 1%: Square root flow calculation with cutoff below 1% of
calibrated differential pressure range. (DP transmitters only.)
• Square Root < 4%: Square root flow calculation with linear extrapolation
below 4% of calibrated differential pressure range. (DP transmitters only.)
• Square Root 0 - 20%: square root flow calculation with a user-configured
cutoff specified between 0 and 20% of the flow upper range value, M2EFAC.
The actual cutoff for this option is set in THIRD_VALUE_FLOW_CUTOFF.
(DP transmitters only.)

MI 020-612 77
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication Configuration

NOTE:
◦ Cutoff in M2SQ<1C and M2SQ<4L is in percent of differential
pressure, but cutoff in M2SQ<nC is in percent of flow rate.
◦ THIRD_VALUE_TYPE cannot be written as one of the flow selections
if PRIMARY_RANGE_VALUE•EU_0 is not zero. Thus, the order of
configuring the parameters is important.
Example 1: To go from a 20 to 100 inH2O pressure application to a 0 to 100
inH2O flow application, set the PRIMARY_RANGE_VALUE•EU_0 to zero
and then set the THIRD_VALUE_TYPE to one of the flow selections.
Example 2: To go from a 0 to 100 inH2O flow application to a 20 to 100
inH2O pressure application, set the THIRD_VALUE_TYPE to pressure and
then set the PRIMARY_RANGE_VALUE•EU_0 to 20 inH2O.
4. Set the THIRD_VALUE_RANGE•UNITS_INDEX to the desired units. Pressure
units (see Pressure Unit Names and Unit Codes, page 78) are the same selection
as PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE•UNITS_INDEX, and may be configured the
same or different.
5. The factory setting for SENSOR_DAMPING is DAMP1/4 (0.25 second). If the
process is noisy, increase the value in small increments, up to 32 seconds. Select
one of the following numbers: 0, 0.25, 0.50, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32.
6. Write the changes to the transmitter.

Analog Input (AI) Block

In the Analog Input (AI) function block, the process variables of the Transducer Blocks
are prepared for subsequent automation functions (for example, linearization, scaling,
and limit value processing). The automation function is defined by connecting the
outputs. The AI block takes the transducer process variables, selected by channel,
and makes it available to other function blocks at its output.
The transmitter has three AI blocks:
• Analog Input block 1 is always instantiated.
• Analog Input blocks 2 and 3 can be instantiated, meaning that the blocks are
present; or deinstantiated, meaning that the blocks are removed from the device.
By default, both are instantiated.
You can deinstantiate either or both blocks, but a block must be in the Out of
Service mode in order to deinstantiate it. Additionally, if both blocks are
deinstantiated, then AI block 2 must be re-instantiated first.
You can use the DTM to instantiate or deinstantiate AI blocks 2 and 3. Refer to
the FOUNDATION Fieldbus specifications for how Action Objects are used to
instantiate and deinstantiate blocks.

Transducer scaling (XD_SCALE) is applied to the value from the channel to produce
the FIELD_VAL in percent. The XD_SCALE units must match the transducer process
variable selected by the CHANNEL parameter, or an error message is generated. The
range does not have to match.
The OUT_SCALE is normally the same as XD_SCALE, but if L_TYPE is set to
Indirect (DP transmitters only), OUT_SCALE determines the conversion from
FIELD_VAL to the output.
OUT_SCALE provides scaling for PV. The PV is always the value that the block
places in OUT if the mode is Auto. If Man is allowed, you can write a value to the
output. The status helps prevent any attempt at closed loop control using the Man
value, by setting the Limit value to Constant.
The LOW_CUT parameter is primarily used for flow, and has a corresponding “Low
cutoff” option in the IO_OPTS bit string. A value of zero may be used in the LOW_
CUT parameter with the “Low Cutoff” option set in the IO_OPTS parameter. This
helps prevent slight negative values of the process measurement from propagating to
the OUT parameter of the AI block and causing an Uncertain status because the
OUT_SCALE range lower limit of zero was exceeded. This feature can help eliminate
signal noise near zero from a flow or pressure sensor. PV_FTIME represents the filter
time constant for the PV in seconds.

Alarm Types
Standard block alarms plus HI_HI, HI, LO, and LO_LO alarms applied to OUT and
OUT_D.

Alarm Output
The OUT_D parameter is a discrete output whose value is defined by the process
alarms in the AI block. When one or more of the AI process alarms (HI_HI, HI, LO,
LO_LO) are configured to alarm in response to the value of OUT exceeding the alarm
limit set in the corresponding _LIM parameter, and if the configuration parameter
OUT_D_SEL has configured OUT_D to be associated with that alarm, the OUT_D
value is set to 1. Otherwise, the value is 0.

Status Handling
The status values described in Output parameter Formal Model of Part 1 apply, with
the exception of the control substatus values. The Uncertain - EU Range Violation
status is always set if the OUT value exceeds the OUT_SCALE range and no worse
condition exists.
The following options from STATUS_OPTS apply, where Limited refers to the sensor
limits:
• Propagate Fault Forward
• Uncertain if Limited
• BAD if Limited
• Uncertain if Man mode

6. Write the changes to the transmitter.

Display Block
The Display Block allows you to show up to four process variables labeled as A, B, C,
or D in addition to M1 and M2 on the optional local display. You can configure the
display to rotate among these four values. The transmitter displays each value for a
fixed number of seconds before displaying the next value. Depending on the value
selected and its status, the corresponding units also appear on the display.
The Display block functionality is split between the Multiple Analog Output (MAO)
block and the Pressure Transducer block.
The MAO block provides a location to link up to eight external process variables into
the instrument through the parameters IN_1 through IN_8. The remainder of the
parameters in the MAO block are not used.
In the Pressure Transducer block, there are four parameters, PV_DISPLAY_SETUP_
A through PV_DISPLAY_SETUP_D, which allow up to four process variables to be
displayed as A, B, C, and D in the bottom right corner of the optional local display. The
PV_DISPLAY_SETUP_x parameter is used to associate the displayed process
variable to the configuration. You can select IN_1 through IN_8 or the OUT parameter
from one of the three AI blocks, or the OUT parameter from the PID block, to be the
process variable displayed on the optional local display. You must also specify a unit
label of up to 6 characters and the number of decimal places for the process variable
in the PV_DISPLAY_SETUP_x parameter. If the process variable’s status is good,
then only the selected process variable’s unit label will appear on the local display.
However, if the status is not good, the status will be shown in place of the unit label.
NOTE: The Display Block does not function when sensor damping is set to 0.

if the limit status of IN is constant. A full PV and DV alarm subfunction is provided. The
PV status is a copy of the IN status unless IN is good and there is a PV or block alarm.
The full cascade SP subfunction is used with rate and absolute limits. There are
additional control options which cause the SP value to track the PV value when the
block is in an actual mode of IMan, LO, Man, or Rout. Limits do not cause SP-PV
tracking.
There is a switch for BYPASS, which is available to the operator if the Bypass Enable
control option is true. BYPASS is used in secondary cascade controllers that have a
bad PV. The Bypass Enable option is necessary because not all cascade control
schemes are stable if BYPASS is true. BYPASS can only be changed when the block
mode is Man or OOS. While it is set, the value of SP, in percent of range, is passed
directly to the target output, and the value of OUT is used for BKCAL_OUT. When the
mode is changed to Cas, the upstream block is requested to initialize to the value of
OUT. When a block is in Cas mode, then on the transition out of BYPASS, the

MI 020-612 83
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication Configuration

upstream block is requested to initialize to the PV value, regardless of the “Use PV for
BKCAL_OUT” option.
GAIN, RESET, and RATE are the tuning constants for the P, I, and D terms,
respectively. GAIN is a dimensionless number. RESET and RATE are time constants
expressed in seconds. There are existing controllers that are tuned by the inverse
value of some or all of them, such as proportional band and repeats per minute. The
human interface to these parameters should be able to display your preference. The
Direct Acting option of the CONTROL_OPTS parameter, if true, causes the output to
increase when the PV exceeds the SP. If false, the output decreases when the PV
exceeds the SP. It makes the difference between positive and negative feedback, so it
must be set properly and never changed while in automatic mode. The setting of the
option must also be used in calculating the limit state for BKCAL_OUT.
The output supports the feed-forward algorithm. The FF_VAL input brings in an
external value which is proportional to some disturbance in the current loop. The value
is converted to percent of output span using the values of parameter FF_SCALE. This
value is multiplied by the FF_GAIN and added to the target output of the PID
algorithm. If the status of FF_VAL is Bad, the last usable value is used because this
prevents bumping the output. When the status returns to Good, the block adjusts its
integral term to maintain the previous output.
The output supports the track algorithm through TRK_VAL, TRK_IN_D, and TRK_
SCALE.
There is an option to use either the SP value after limiting or the PV value for the
BKCAL_OUT value.

Auto Tune in the PID Block

The Auto Tune feature of the PID block can determine unique customer process
characteristics by making small bumps to the value of the OUT parameter in the PID
block and measuring the response at the IN parameter. This procedure is usually
performed using the DTM interface.

2. Configure the AUTO_TUNE parameter in the PID block with the magnitude of the
bump of the OUT parameter and the threshold that is expected at the IN
parameter in response to this bump.
Through the AUTO_TUNE parameter, the tuning process is started and monitored. If
a successful cycle is completed, it has a status of Done.
The AUTO_TUNE parameter then contains several timing measurements that the
DTM can use to determine the optimal setting of the parameters GAIN, RESET, BAL_
TIME, SP_LAG, KDERIV, and RATE which is used by the PID block in AUTO mode.
The AUTO_TUNE function is recommended for only the PI (4), PID (5), and NIPID (6)

Disabling the Link Active Scheduler (LAS)

Enable or disable the LAS by writing to the BOOT_OPERAT_FUNCTIONAL_CLASS
parameter in the Network Management Virtual Field Device (VFD) of the device. A
value of 1 sets a Basic device; a value of 2 sets a LAS device. Cycle the power to the
device after changing this parameter.

NOTICE
POTENTIAL REDUCED PERFORMANCE
• Modifying the parameters in the Network or System Management VFD of the
device can have adverse effects on data throughput rates. If settings are
incorrectly modified, some devices may disappear from the network.
• Do not modify the parameters in the Network or System Management VFD of
the device without good reason. If you must modify parameters for certain
transmitters, contact Global Customer Support for recommended settings.
• The Network or System Management parameters are located in the Advance
settings of National Instruments™ configurator software.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor injury or equipment
damage.

NOTE:
If more than one device has the LAS feature configured on, the LAS is applied to
the devices in the order of their Node Address. Therefore, take LAS into
consideration when selecting the Node Address.
As a prudent measure, it is recommended that you configure multiple devices (two
or more) on the bus as link master devices.

Upgrading the Firmware

These transmitters feature the ability to upgrade the internal firmware remotely
through the FOUNDATION Fieldbus wiring. A host must have this feature
implemented per FOUNDATION Fieldbus specifications. It is not a DD or DTM
operation.
• The upgrade process may take several minutes.
• The transmitter remains fully functional while firmware is downloaded.
• Once the firmware is downloaded, the transmitter activates the firmware, the
instrument goes offline to complete the upgrade, and the optional local display
shows the progress.
• Once the upgrade is complete, the transmitter comes back online and requires
reconfiguration to resume operation.
The same firmware file may also be installed locally at the transmitter. Contact Global

Calibration
You can calibrate the transmitter by accessing the menu system using the ENTER
and NEXT buttons on the optional local display, by using the optional external zero
button, or by using a remote configurator.

FoxCal™ Multiple Calibration Technology

% Reading Accuracy
Transmitters in the Advanced (10S) and Premium (50S) performance tiers offer
FoxCal™ technology, a patented multiple calibration feature that helps eliminate the
need for a traditional single-span calibration at an application-specific pressure range.
Transmitters with the FoxCal™ feature enabled use multiple calibrated ranges that are
stored in on-board memory. The calibrated ranges are preset in the factory and cover
the full pressure range of the transmitter. During operation, a real-time, seamless
transition from one factory-calibrated range to another maintains digital accuracy as a
percent of reading from 100% to as low as 4% of the upper range limit (URL)
(SENSOR_RANGE•EU_100).

% URV Accuracy
The FoxCal™ feature also supports % URV accuracy. Factory calibration and field
calibration for specific applications are not required for zero-based ranges up to 30:1
turndown. Simply configure the URV (PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE) without
performing a recalibration at the URV (PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE). You will only
need to perform a zero adjustment after installation to obtain performance to the
specified reference accuracy.
Refer to Span and Range Limits, page 13.

Enabling and Disabling FoxCal™

The transmitter can be shipped with or without the FoxCal™ feature enabled. If you
select the -C1 option in the model code, FoxCal™ is not enabled, and the transmitter is
factory calibrated over the specified range. If you do not select the -C1 option in the
model code, FoxCal™ is enabled.
The FoxCal™ calibration feature can be enabled or disabled by selecting FOXCAL
from the CALIB menu on the LCD and selecting FCALON or FCALOFF, or use the
FOXCAL_CONTROL parameter.
When FoxCal™ is disabled, the last two-point calibration is enabled. As shipped, the
last two-point calibration defaults to a calibration from 0 to URL; or, for transmitters
ordered with the -C1 option, the two-point Custom Factory Calibration range. If a two-
point field calibration is performed later, the last calibration becomes the last field
calibration.
If you perform a two-point calibration on a transmitter with FoxCal™ enabled, the new
calibration is used, and FoxCal™ is disabled. Re-enable FoxCal™ by selecting
FOXCAL from the CALIB menu and selecting FCALON, or use the FOXCAL_
CONTROL parameter.

MI 020-612 87
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication Calibration

NOTICE
POTENTIAL REDUCED PERFORMANCE
When disabling FoxCal™, the last two-point calibrated range may not match the
current configuration of the Lower Range Value and Upper Range Value. For
optimal performance, avoid large mismatches.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in reduced performance.

One-Point Calibration at LRV

A one-point offset calibration at LRV (CAL_POINT_LO) can be performed with either
FoxCal™ or the last two-point calibration enabled.
When a one-point calibration at LRV is performed, the offset adjustment applies to
both the last two-point calibration and all the multiple calibrations. The calibrated
accuracy at the LRV point is adjusted and maintained for both calibrations, regardless
of which selection is enabled at the time of the adjustment. This allows you to enable
or disable FoxCal™ without also performing two independent offset adjustments.

Two-Point Field Calibration

The transmitters, including those shipped with the FoxCal™ feature enabled, can be
recalibrated to a specific LRV and URV (PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE).
NOTE: The calibration at the LRV point applies to transmitters with the FoxCal™
feature enabled as well as transmitters calibrated with a two-point calibration.
However, the calibration at the URV point applies only to the two-point calibration.
Multiple calibrations stored in the transmitter in the factory do not change when a
URV calibration is performed. Instead, as with a custom factory calibration, a field
calibration at URV automatically disables the FoxCal™ feature and enables a
single two-point calibration.

NOTICE
POTENTIAL REDUCED PERFORMANCE
The accuracy of the input pressure for field span calibration should be a minimum of
four times better than the transmitter’s reference accuracy specification. An
inaccurate span pressure input typically results in degradation of transmitter
performance from the factory calibrated state.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in reduced performance.

Calibration Notes
• If you perform a two-point calibration when the FoxCal™ feature is enabled, the
new calibration is used and FoxCal™ is disabled.
• For best results in applications where high accuracy is required, rezero the
transmitter output once it has stabilized at the final operating temperature.
• Zero shifts resulting from position effects can be eliminated by rezeroing the
transmitter output.
• (DP transmitters only) When checking the zero reading of a transmitter operating
in the square root mode, return the output to the linear mode. This eliminates an

88 MI 020-612
Calibration FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication

apparent instability in the output signal. Return the transmitter output to the
square root mode after the zero check is complete.
• The internal digital value of pressure can be shown on the optional local display
and transmitted digitally.
• The transmitter database has configurable values for both lower range value
(LRV) and upper range value (URV) (FF parameter PRIMARY_VALUE_
RANGE). You can display the LRV and URV in pressure units by selecting the
RERANGE function on the LCD. These values are used for two functions:
◦ Defining the calibrated range when using the pushbuttons for calibration:
– When either CAL LRV or CAL URV is initiated from the pushbuttons, the
transmitter expects that the pressure applied at the time the button is
pressed is equal to the LRV or URV value, respectively.
– This function trims the internal digital value of pressure; that is, it performs
a calibration based on the application of accurate pressures equal to the
values entered for LRV and URV in the transmitter database.
◦ Reranging without the application of pressure:
– The transmitter continually determines an internal digital value of the
measured pressure from the lower range limit (LRL) to the upper range
limit (URL) (FF parameter SENSOR_RANGE) without application of
pressure.
– The reranging function is accomplished by entering new database values
for LRV and URV (FF parameter PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE).
– Reranging does not affect the calibration of the transmitter; that is, it does
not affect the optimization of the internal digital value of pressure over the
calibrated range.
– If FoxCal™ is disabled and the reranged LRV and URV (FF parameter
PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE) are not within the calibrated range, the
measured values may not be as accurate as when they are within the
calibrated range.
• (DP transmitters only) If the transmitter is in square root mode for flow rate
measurement, the URV in the database is displayed as the flow rate URV when
the view database (VIEW DB) function is used. However, the LRV and URV in
pressure units can be displayed by selecting the RERANGE function. LRV is
always zero when the transmitter is configured for square root mode.
• When the local display is used, the internal digital value of pressure is sent
directly to the display.
◦ The display can show any measured pressure in selected units regardless of
the calibrated range and the values of LRV and URV (within the limits of the
transmitter and display).
◦ If the measured pressure is outside the range established by the LRV and
URV values in the database, the display shows the measurement but also
continually blinks to indicate that the measurement is out of range. The signal
is saturated at either the low or high overrange limit, respectively, but the
display continually shows the pressure.
• Zeroing from the local display does not affect the span.
When the transmitter is zeroed to compensate for installed position effect, the
transmitter can have either LRV pressure applied (CAL LRV) or zero pressure
applied (CAL AT0). If the range is zero-based, either method produces the same
result. However, if the range is not zero-based, it is advantageous to have both
methods available.
For example, consider a pressure transmitter having a range of 50 to 100 psig. If
it is not feasible to vent the transmitter to atmosphere (or bypass the high and low
sides) for zeroing, it can be adjusted while the LRV pressure of 50 psi is applied
by using the CAL LRV function on the LCD or the FOUNDATION Fieldbus
parameter CAL_POINT_LO.

MI 020-612 89
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication Calibration

On the other hand, if the transmitter has been installed but there is no pressure in
the process line yet (or if the high and low sides can be connected by a bypass
valve), it can be zeroed while open to atmosphere by using the CAL AT0 function
on the LCD or the FOUNDATION Fieldbus parameter CAL_AT_ZERO.
◦ Zeroing with LRV pressure applied (CAL LRV or FF parameter CAL_POINT_
LO):
– Before using this zeroing function, apply a pressure to the transmitter equal
to the value of LRV stored in the transmitter database.
– When you zero the transmitter, the internal digital value of the pressure is
trimmed to be equal to the value of LRV stored in the database.
– If zeroing is done when the applied pressure is different from the LRV
pressure value in the database, the internal digital value of pressure is
biased by the difference in the values.
– Use the CAL LRV (FF parameter CAL_POINT_LO) and CAL URV (FF
parameter CAL_POINT_HI) functions when calibrating a transmitter for a
specific range with known input pressures applied for the LRV and URV.
FoxCal™ is automatically disabled by the CAL URV (FF parameter CAL_
POINT_HI) function.
◦ Zeroing a gauge or differential pressure transmitter with zero pressure applied
(CAL AT0 or FF parameter CAL_AT_ZERO)42:
– Make sure that the applied pressure is at zero. This means venting the
transmitter to atmosphere, or opening a bypass valve to connect the high
and low sides.
– When you zero the transmitter, the internal digital value of the pressure is
trimmed to be equal to zero.
◦ Zeroing an absolute pressure transmitter: Temporarily set the LRV to the
barometric pressure, and perform a CAL LRV (FF parameter CAL_POINT_
LO) function with the transmitter vented to atmosphere. Then, set the LRV
back to the proper value.

Calibration Setup
The following sections show setups for field and bench calibration. Use test
equipment that is at least four times as accurate as the specified accuracy of the
transmitter; otherwise, measurement inaccuracy may be introduced.

NOTICE
POTENTIAL REDUCED PERFORMANCE
For both field calibration and bench calibration procedures, using a pressure source
that is less accurate than the transmitter’s reference accuracy specification typically
results in degradation of transmitter performance from the factory calibrated state.
The accuracy of the input pressure should be a minimum of four times better than
the transmitter’s reference accuracy specification.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in reduced performance.

NOTE: Calibration is not necessary to rerange the transmitter to a different range.

You can accurately rerange the transmitter by changing the lower and upper range
values, which are stored in the transmitter database.

42. The CAL AT0 function is not applicable with an absolute pressure transmitter. If an absolute pressure transmitter is vented to atmosphere, it
does not have zero pressure applied. Instead, it has barometric pressure applied (approximately 14.7 psia at sea level).

2. To set or reset using the optional display:

a. To set or reset the zero point at zero pressure, apply zero pressure to the
transmitter or (for DP transmitters) use a bypass valve to equalize pressure
on both sides of the transmitter. Press the external zero button until the
display reads CAL AT0. Release the button. The display reads CALWAIT.
When the display reads AT0done, calibration is complete.
b. To set or reset the 0% of range input, apply the lower range value (LRV)
pressure to the transmitter and press and hold the external zero button until
the display reads CAL LRV (it reads CAL AT0 first). Release the button. The
display reads CALWAIT.
When the display reads LRVdone, calibration is complete.
c. If additional rezeroing is required, repeat this step.
Other possible messages are:
• DISABLD, if EX ZERO is configured as EXZ DIS.
• EXZ DIS IGNORED, if the transmitter is not in the on-line mode.
• WP ENAB, if the write protection jumper is in write protect position.
3. Relatch the external zero button by turning it 90 degrees in a clockwise direction
to avoid pressing the button accidentally. Do not push the button with the
screwdriver while doing this.

Zero Adjustment for Transmitters without the Optional Display

If the optional display is not present, you can accomplish the same functions by
pressing the external zero button for different lengths of time. Pressing the button for 1
to 3 seconds allows you to execute a CAL AT0; pressing the button for 5 or more
seconds allows you to execute a CAL LRV.

NOTICE
POTENTIAL MISCONFIGURATION
Use care when using the external zero button without the optional display. You must
rely strictly on the length of time you press and hold the external zero button to
distinguish between CAL AT0 and CAL LRV.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in misconfiguration.

1. Unlatch the external zero button by turning it 90 degrees in a counterclockwise

direction so that the screwdriver slot lines up with the two holes in the face of the
adjacent part. Do not push the button with the screwdriver while doing this.
2. To set or reset using only the external zero button:
a. To set or reset the zero point at zero pressure, apply zero pressure to the
transmitter or (for DP transmitters) use a bypass valve to equalize pressure
on both sides of the transmitter. Press the external zero button for 1 to 3
seconds, then release the button.
b. To set or reset 0% of range input, apply the lower range value (LRV)
pressure to the transmitter. Press and hold the external zero button for at
least 5 seconds, then release the button.
c. If additional rezeroing is required, repeat this step.
3. Relatch the external zero button by turning it 90 degrees in a clockwise direction
to avoid pressing the button accidentally. Do not push the button with the

FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication Calibration

Calibration from a FOUNDATION Fieldbus Host

There are two ways to perform a two-point calibration using a DD. Both require that
you first set the Target mode in the MODE_BLK parameter to Out of Service, and
then set the PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE parameter. PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE
sets the range of values over which the instrument is calibrated.
• If you change the elements of PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE individually, you must
first set the desired EGU in UNITS_INDEX.
• Check your EU_0 and EU_100 values to make sure that they are the proper
values for your application.
• EU_0 must always be less than EU_100 by the value in the parameter CAL_
MIN_SPAN.
• The difference between EU_100 and EU_0 must never exceed CAL_MAX_
SPAN.
• The values in PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE should also not exceed those in
SENSOR_RANGE, as these are the maximum limits of the sensor.
For instructions on changing EU_0 and EU_100, refer to Configuring Parameters in
the Transducer Block, page 77.

If Device Description (DD) Methods are Unavailable

1. Put the Transducer Block in the Out Of Service (OOS) mode and make sure the
MODE_BLK•ACTUAL reads OOS.
2. Set the desired range of calibration in PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE.
3. Set the CAL_UNIT parameter to match PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE•UNITS_
INDEX.
4. Put the Transducer block into Manual or Automatic mode.
5. Attach a reference pressure source to the transmitter and set it to the value
specified in the PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE•EU_0 parameter.
Once the pressure is stable, this value is written to the CAL_POINT_LO
parameter. This write action calibrates the low point of the transmitter.
6. Check the status of the FOXCAL_CONTROL parameter:
a. If the FOXCAL_CONTROL parameter is ON, the calibration is complete. Go
to the next step.
b. If the FOXCAL_CONTROL parameter is OFF, and a full 2-point calibration is
allowed, set the reference pressure source to the value specified in the
parameter PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE•EU_100.
7. If the FOXCAL_CONTROL parameter is OFF, and a full two-point calibration is
allowed, set the reference pressure source to the value specified in the parameter
PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE•EU_100.
Once the pressure is stable, this value is written to the CAL_POINT_HI
parameter. This write action calibrates the high point of the transmitter.
NOTE: The difference between the lower range and upper range pressures
must equal or exceed the CAL_MIN_SPAN.
8. Select the method from the SENSOR_CAL_METHOD parameter (normally set
for User Trim Standard Calibration).
9. Type in the location in the SENSOR_CAL_LOC parameter.
10. Type in the initials of the person performing the calibration in the SENSOR_CAL_
WHO parameter.

Troubleshooting FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication

Troubleshooting
Simulation Mode
The transmitter has a simulation capability that can be used for debugging/
troubleshooting the system when the process is not running. Once the simulation
jumper is set, you can select any value as the input to the AI Block for testing or
debugging purposes. The procedure is as follows:
1. Place the appropriate AI Block in Out of Service (OOS) mode using the
configurator software.
2. Remove the housing cover and the optional indicator, if applicable.
3. To activate Simulation mode, move the simulation jumper to the top position as
shown in Setting the Simulate Jumper, page 45.
4. Replace the indicator and housing cover, if desired.
5. Set the SIMULATE_ENABLE•DISABLE to Active.
6. Set the SIMULATE_STATUS_QUALITY to Good_NonCascade (suggested
setting) or other appropriate setting.
7. Type in the value you want as the output from the Transducer Block in the
Simulate_Value parameter.
8. Click the Write Changes button. If you try to send a simulated output without
putting the jumper in the correct position, the software will not change anything
(device did not accept this parameter value), and you will get an error response.
9. Set the AI Block to AUTO mode.
10. Proceed with troubleshooting, keeping in mind that the output of the AI Block has
been set by the value typed in Step 7.
11. When troubleshooting is finished, set the AI Block to Out of Service (OOS).
12. Set the SIMULATE_ENABLE•DISABLE to Disabled.
13. Click Write Changes.
14. Place the AI Block in AUTO mode using the configurator software. Make sure the
MODE_BLK•ACTUAL reads AUTO.
15. Reset the simulate jumper.
16. Reassemble the electronics module, indicator, and housing cover.

Restart
The RESTART parameter in the Resource Block should only be used when the
configuration in the transmitter is incorrect and you cannot fix the problem by using the
troubleshooting information in this section.
In all cases, try cycling the power to the transmitter first. Then go back to the block
with the problem and try to write the changes to the transmitter. If that does not clear
the problem, proceed with the restart procedure.
NOTE: When you do a “Defaults” RESTART command in the Resource Block, the
configured parameters will automatically default to the status and values
predetermined by the Fieldbus Foundation. These are the same as the initial
factory settings shown in Appendix A: FOUNDATION Fieldbus Parameters, page
169 for the Resource, Analog Input, and PID Blocks, but are different than those
shown for the Transducer Block.

MI 020-612 103
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication Troubleshooting

1. Open the Resource Block and put it in the OOS mode.

2. Open the RESTART box and select one of the following:
• Uninitialized —Do not use. (It may not appear on the list.)
• Run — The default setting; the nominal state when not restarting.
• Defaults — Sets the parameters to the Fieldbus Foundation defaults, which
may be different than the initial factory settings. This resets all configurable
function block application objects. It also clears all configured Trend and Link
Objects. A restart of the processor is also performed automatically after re-
initialization is completed.
• Processor — Does a warm restart of the CPU. It has the same effect as
cycling the power (off and on) to the transmitter.
• Restart Factory Defaults — Resets all device parameters (including
communications, TAG, and Address) to default values.
• Restart Factory Configuration — Resets all device parameters to the
condition at delivery from the factory.
• Restart Factory Instantiated — Sets all instantiable AI blocks to default
values (i.e., two instantiable AI blocks back to instantiated).
3. Click Write Changes.
4. Put the Resource Block back into AUTO mode. The RESTART selection will
default to the Run position.
5. Reconfigure the appropriate function blocks.

Switch Mode Checklist

1. Verify that the block is scheduled. (Resource block and transducer block are
always scheduled.)
2. Check the error messages in the BLOCK_ERR_DESC_1 parameter.
3. Verify that the resource block is in Auto Mode.
4. Verify that requested mode is permitted.

Schedule Download Checklist

1. Verify that all blocks in the network have different tags.
2. Verify that no two blocks from the same devices are scheduled to be executed at
the same time.
3. Verify that there is enough time for block execution.

Block Errors
The following table lists all of the possible error codes in the function blocks. (Not all
error codes are possible in all of the blocks.) The condition number is shown in the

Inter-Board Communication Errors/Status

The FD_SIMULATE•DIAGNOSTIC_VALUE parameter in the Resource Block reflects
the state of the sensor board. If something occurs that affects the state of the sensor
board, a status message will be posted. For example:
• Sensor Board Bad Status
• Sensor Board Comm Alert
• Electronics Over Temperature
• Electronics Under Temperature
• Transducer block in Check condition

Fieldbus Diagnostic Methods

Two FOUNDATION Fieldbus diagnostic methods are implemented in the DD and
DTM under the Resource Block.
• FF_Comm_Diagnostic tells you the time when the instrument last powered up
(as sent by the DCS) and how many times the instrument has joined/rejoined the
bus. Reading FF_Comm_Diagnostic can be used to determine if the instrument
is resetting itself or dropping out because of electrical noise on the
communications bus.
• FF_Livelist_Diagnostic works only if the instrument has the Link Active
Scheduler (LAS) option enabled. This diagnostic method shows you all the
addresses that fieldbus devices are using, including the DCS.

Rotating Process Covers for Venting

Your transmitter provides sensor cavity draining without the need for side drain
connections, regardless of whether the transmitter is mounted vertically or
horizontally. Sensor cavity venting is provided by mounting the transmitter horizontally
or with the optional vent screw (option -V). If you do not have a vent screw, you can
achieve venting (instead of draining) with vertical mounting by rotating the process
covers.
NOTE: This procedure involves removing the process covers. You may need to
recalibrate the transmitter afterwards.

6. Pressure test the sensor and process cover assembly by applying a hydrostatic
pressure of 150% of the maximum static and overrange pressure (see Maximum
Static, Overrange, and Proof Pressure Ratings, page 15) to both sides of the
process cover/sensor assembly simultaneously through the process connections.
Hold pressure for one minute. There should be no leakage of the test fluid
through the gaskets. If leakage occurs, re-tighten the cover bolts or replace the
gaskets and retest.

CAUTION
RISK OF POTENTIAL INJURY AND/OR REDUCED PERFORMANCE
Perform a hydrostatic test with a liquid, and follow proper hydrostatic test
procedures.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or reduced

21 MIN_CYCLE_T Read only 200 ms This read-only parameter stores the shortest cycle interval of which the
resource is capable. This parameter is displayed in 1/32 of a
millisecond.
22 MEMORY_SIZE Read only 256 This read-only parameter stores the available configuration memory for
configuring Function Blocks, in kilobytes. The FREE_SPACE parameter
shows the percentage of configuration memory that is still available.
Check this parameter before instantiating a block.

23 NV_CYCLE_T Read only 15 seconds This parameter shows the interval between writing copies of non-
volatile parameters to non-volatile memory in units of 1/32 of a
millisecond. A setting of zero indicates that the parameters are written
immediately when they are changed. At the end of NV_CYCLE_T, only
those parameters that have changed will be updated in non-volatile
memory.

24 FREE_SPACE Read only; 0 to 0% This read-only parameter reflects the percentage of free system
100% memory available for further block instantiation.

Zero is a preconfigured resource. As each of the three AI blocks is

deinstantiated, this parameter increases by 33.33%. When all AI blocks
are deinstantiated, the value is approximately 100%.

25 FREE_TIME Read only; 0 to 0% This read-only parameter reflects the percentage of time available to
100% process additional instantiable blocks.

26 SHED_RCAS Used by PID 640000 Specifies the timeout in units of 1/32 of a millisecond for write attempts

28 FAULT_STATE Read only: 1 This read-only parameter represents the current status of the condition
set by loss of communication to or the propagation of a loss of
1. Clear communication to an output block’s CAS_IN, CAS_IN_D, IN_*, RCAS_
IN, or RCAS_IN_D parameter while in the corresponding mode. This
2. Active parameter indicates the Fault State condition is being simulated by the
Resource block via the SET_FSTATE parameter. This parameter is
cleared by the CLR_FSTATE parameter. When the Fault State
condition exists, output function blocks perform their FSTATE actions if
the "Fault State supported" bit is set in the FEATURE_SEL parameter.

29 SET_FSTATE 1: Off Off Sets a faultstate condition by setting the FAULT_STATE parameter to
Active. Manually setting a faultstate condition is only supported if the
2: Set "Fault State supported" bit is set in the FEATURE_SEL parameter.

30 CLR_FSTATE 1: Off Off This parameter clears the FAULT_STATE parameter.

2: Clear
31 MAX_NOTIFY Read only 20 This read-only parameter represents the maximum number of
unconfirmed alert reports possible. To control alert flooding, adjust the
LIM_NOTIFY parameter.

32 LIM_NOTIFY 0 to 20 20 This read-only parameter represents the maximum number of

unconfirmed alert notify messages that can exist at the same time. If set
to zero, no alerts are reported.

33 CONFIRM_TIME Up to 37 days 640000 This parameter allows you to specify the amount of time the resource
will wait, in units of 1/32 of a millisecond, for the confirmation of receipt
of an event report. If the transmitter does not receive confirmation
within this time, the event report is sent to the fieldbus host system
again. If CONFIRM_TIME is 0, the resource will not retry sending the
event report.

34 WRITE_LOCK Read only: Hardware Write This read-only parameter indicates whether or not device data can be
Locked modified:
Unlocked
1: Unlocked: Device data can be modified
Locked
2: Locked: Device data cannot be modified

If FEATURE_SEL bit 4 (Hardware Write Lock) is clear, the external

jumper is ignored, no matter if it is in the Unlocked or Locked position.
On the other hand, if FEATURE_SEL bit 4 is set, WRITE_LOCK is set
to Locked, indicating that the external jumper is set to the locked
position and the WRITE_LOCK parameter cannot be changed.

Clearing WRITE_LOCK generates a WRITE_ALM alert at the WRITE_

PRI priority. Setting WRITE_LOCK clears the alert if it exists.

35 UPDATE_EVT System This parameter provides an alert generated by any change to the
Parameter: block’s static data. Only Unacknowledged is writable.

Unacknowledged Unacknowledged: Set to Unacknowledged on a new alert; set to

Acknowledged to indicate that the alert has been noticed:

15 CHANNEL This parameter defines the number of the logical hardware channel
connected to this I/O block; defines the transducer to be used going to
or from the physical world:

Transducer
Channel Source
Parameter Name

1 Pressure Primary Value

2 Sensor Temperature Secondary Value

Pressure or Flow in Third Third Value

3
Value units

4 Electronics Temperature Fourth Value

16 L_TYPE Read only except 2 This parameter determines whether the values the Transducer block
in OOS or MAN passes to the AI block should be used directly or should be converted:
• Direct: Values passed by the Transducer block can be used
Uninitialized
directly by the AI block
Direct • Indirect: Values passed by the Transducer block to the AI block
are in different units and must be converted linearly
Indirect
• Ind Sqr Root: (DP transmitters only) Values passed by the
Ind Sqr Root (DP Transducer block to the AI block are in different units and must be
only) converted using the input range defined for the Transducer and
the associated output range with a square root conversion, which
is used to convert differential pressure to a flow rate.
When L_TYPE is Direct, the values of EU_100, EU_0, and UNITS_
INDEX in XD_SCALE must match the values of the same
subparameters in OUT_SCALE. If they do not match, BLOCK_ERR
reports a configuration error and BLOCK_ERR_DESC_1 is set
accordingly.

17 LOW_CUT 0 This parameter is used primarily for flow, which is applicable only to DP
transmitters.

However, this parameter can also help eliminate electrical noise near
zero from a flow or pressure sensor. If the Transducer value falls below
this limit in percent of scale, a value of zero percent of scale is used in
block processing.

18 PV_FTIME 0 This parameter represents the filter time constant for the PV in
seconds.
19 FIELD_VAL Read only This parameter stores the raw value of the field device in % of XD_
SCALE with a status reflecting the Transducer condition, before signal
characterization (L_TYPE) or filtering (PV_FTIME). The status of this
parameter is the same as PV status.

• Actual mode: The current mode of the block
Normal: OOS • Target mode: The mode requested by operator

Actual: OOS • Permitted modes: All of the modes allowed for this block
• Normal mode: The mode of the block during normal operations; can
be any single valid Target mode
The following modes are supported:
• O/S (Out of Service): No algorithm is executing, and the output
status is BAD, Out of Service
• IMan (Initialization Manual): Actual mode when the Target mode is
MAN or greater, but the BKCAL_IN input is BAD, indicating that the
downstream block is not communicating
• LO (Local Override): Actual mode when the Target mode is MAN or
greater, but the TRK_VAL and TRK_IN_D inputs are valid. The
output value comes from TRK_VAL.
• MAN (Manual): The Target and Actual mode when the output can
be directly set. If the PV’s status is not GOOD, the Actual mode can
only be MAN even though the Target mode is higher.
• AUTO (Automatic): Target and Actual mode when the output is
computed from a constant setpoint (SP) and a valid PV
• CAS (Cascade): CAS mode is the same as AUTO, except the SP
comes from the CAS input
• RCAS (Remote Cascade): RCAS mode is the same as AUTO,
except the SP comes from the RCAS input. The RCAS_IN input
must be written to periodically faster than the time specified in the
Resource block parameter SHED_RCAS.
• ROUT (Remote Output): Actual and Target mode where the output
value comes from the ROUT_IN parameter. The ROUT_IN input
must be written to periodically faster than the time specified in the
Resource block parameter SHED_ROUT.
The cascade inputs and outputs must complete an initialization sequence

PV_SCALE units Service execute the function, or a process value and associated status. Similar to
the OUT parameter in the AI block, the PV substatus reflects the alarm
status of the PID block.

In the PID block, the value of PV is the IN value after filtering with the
PV_TIME filter and the evaluation of the “Use Uncertain as Good” option
in STATUS_OPTS.

When multiple Good (NC) substatuses exist, the priority is:

• Unacknowledged > Active
• Unacknowledged > Non-specific
• Advisory > Block
• Critical > Advisory
