1.1 Configure Display Variables and Display Precision

Display Not available

ProLink II ProLink→Configuration→Display

Communicator 5,7,2Detailed Setup→Display Setup→Display Variables5,7,3Detailed Setup→Display Setup→Display Precision

The display can scroll through up to 15 process variables in any order. You can configure theprocess variables to be displayed and the order in which they will appear. You can repeatvariables, and you can leave slots empty.

You can also configure Display Precision for each process variable. Display Precision controls thenumber of digits to the right of the decimal place that are shown on the display when the processvariable is selected as a display variable. Display Precision can be set to any value from 0 to5. The lower the precision, the larger a process change must be in order to be reflected in thedisplayed value. Display Precision does not affect the value of the process variable reported viaother methods or used in calculations.

Restrictions You cannot set Display Variable 1 to None. Display Variable 1 must always be set to a

process variable. If you have fixed Display Variable 1 to the primary mA output, you cannot change the setting of

Display Variable 1 using this method. To change the setting of Display Variable 1, you mustchange the configuration of mA Output Process Variable for the primary mA output.

NoteIf you have configured a volume process variable as a display variable, and you subsequentlychange the setting of Volume Flow Type, the display variable is automatically changed to theequivalent process variable. For example, if Display Variable 2 was set to Volume Flow Rate, it willbe changed to Gas Standard Volume Flow Rate.

ProLink II Not available

Communicator Not available

If desired, you can configure Display Variable 1 from the display menu by fixing it to the processvariable assigned to the primary mA output, which is also the HART Primary Variable. If you dothis, Display Variable 1 will always be the process variable assigned to the primary mA output.This is the only way to configure a display variable from the display menus.

If Display Variable 1 is fixed to the primary mA output, the only way to set Display Variable 1 toa different process variable is to change the mA output assignment. If you do not fix DisplayVariable 1 to the primary mA output, you must use a communications tool such as ProLink II or theCommunicator to change Display Variable 1.

Even if Display Variable 1 is fixed, you can still set its precision. To set its precision, you mustuse a communications tool.

NoteThis option applies only to Display Variable 1. To change any other display variable, you stillneed a communications tool.

ProLink II ProLink→Configuration→Frequency/Discrete Output

Communicator 5,3,2,1Detailed Setup→Config Outputs→FO/DO Config→Freq/DO Setup

The I/O terminal pairs on the transmitter are called “channels” and are identified as Channel A,Channel B, and Channel C. You can configure Channel B to operate as a frequency output or adiscrete output. The channel configuration must match the wiring.

Always verify the output configuration after changing channel configuration. When theconfiguration of a channel is changed, the channel’s behavior will be controlled by theconfiguration that is stored for the selected output type, which may or may not be appropriatefor the process. To avoid causing process error: Configure the channels before configuring the outputs. When changing channel configuration, be sure that all control loops affected by this

channel are under manual control. Before returning the loop to automatic control, ensure that the output is correctly

configured for your process.

2.2 Configure the mA output

Display OFF-LINE MAINT→OFF-LINE CONFG→IO→CH A

ProLink II ProLink→Configuration→Analog Output

Communicator 5,3,1Detailed Setup→Config Outputs→Analog Output 1

The mA output is used to report a process variable. The mA output parameters control how theprocess variable is reported. Your transmitter has one mA output: Channel A.

The mA output parameters include:

mA Output Process Variable Lower Range Value (LRV) and Upper Range Value (URV) AO Cutoff Added Damping AO Fault Action and AO Fault Value

Prerequisites

If you plan to configure an mA output to report volume flow, ensure that you have set Volume FlowType as desired: Liquid or Gas Standard Volume.

Postrequisites

ImportantWhenever you change an mA output parameter, verify all other mA output parameters beforereturning the flowmeter to service. In some situations, the transmitter automatically loads a set ofstored values, and these values may not be appropriate for your application.

mA Output Process Variable controls the variable that is reported over the mA output. On theModel 1700 transmitter, it also controls the setting of Frequency Output Process Variable.

Prerequisites

If you are using the HART variables, be aware that changing the configuration of mA OutputProcess Variable will change the configuration of the HART Primary Variable (PV) and the HARTTertiary Variable (TV).

ProLink II ProLink→Configuration→Analog Output→Lower Range ValueProLink→Configuration→Analog Output→Upper Range Value

Communicator 5,3,1,2Detailed Setup→Config Outputs→Analog Output 1→Range Values

The Lower Range Value (LRV) and Upper Range Value (URV) are used to scale the mA output,i.e., to define the relationship between mA Output Process Variable and the mA output level.

The mA output uses a range of 4–20 mA to represent mA Output Process Variable:

LRV specifies the value of mA Output Process Variable to be represented by an output of 4 mA. URV specifies the value of mA Output Process Variable to be represented by an output of

20 mA. Between LRV and URV, the mA output is linear with the process variable. If the process variable drops below LRV or rises above URV, the transmitter posts an output

saturation alarm.

Enter values for LRV and URV in the measurement units that are configured for mA OutputProcess Variable.

Notes You can set URV below LRV. For example, you can set URV to 50 and LRV to 100. For transmitter software v5.0 and later, if you change LRV and URV from factory default

values, and you later change mA Output Process Variable, LRV and URV will not be reset tothe default values. For example, if you configure mA Output Process Variable as mass flowand change the LRV and URV for mass flow, then you configure mA Output Process Variableas density, and finally you change mA Output Process Variable back to mass flow, LRV andURV for mass flow are reset to the configured values. In earlier versions of the transmittersoftware, LRV and URV were reset to factory default values.

Default values for Lower Range Value (LRV) and Upper Range Value (URV)

Each option for mA Output Process Variable has its own LRV and URV. If you change theconfiguration of mA Output Process Variable, the corresponding LRV and URV are loaded andused.

(1) Requires transmitter software v5.0 or later.

2.2.3 Configure AO Cutoff

Display Not available

ProLink II ProLink→Configuration→Analog Output→AO Cutoff

Communicator 5,3,1,3Detailed Setup→Config Outputs→Analog Output 1→PV AO Cutoff

AO Cutoff (Analog Output Cutoff) specifies the lowest mass flow rate, volume flow rate, or GasStandard Volume flow rate that will be reported through the mA output. Any flow rates belowthe AO Cutoff will be reported as 0.

RestrictionAO Cutoff is applied only if mA Output Process Variable is set to Mass Flow Rate, Volume FlowRate, or Gas Standard Volume Flow Rate. If mA Output Process Variable is set to a differentprocess variable, AO Cutoff is not configurable, and the transmitter does not implement the AOcutoff function.

TipFor most applications, the default value of AO Cutoff should be used. Contact Micro Motioncustomer service before changing AO Cutoff.

Cutoff interaction

When mA Output Process Variable is set to a flow variable (mass flow, volume flow, or gasstandard volume flow), AO Cutoff interacts with Mass Flow Cutoff, Volume Flow Cutoff, or GasStandard Volume Flow Cutoff. The transmitter puts the cutoff into effect at the highest flow rate atwhich a cutoff is applicable.

♦ Example: Cutoff interaction

Configuration:

mA Output Process Variable = Mass Flow Rate Frequency Output Process Variable = Mass Flow Rate AO Cutoff = 10 g/s

Mass Flow Cutoff = 15 g/s

Result: If the mass flow rate drops below 15 g/s, all outputs representing mass flow will reportzero flow.

♦ Example: Cutoff interaction

Configuration:

Mass Flow Cutoff = 10 g/s

Result:

If the mass flow rate drops below 15 g/s but not below 10 g/s:

The mA output will report zero flow.

The frequency output will report the actual flow rate.

If the mass flow rate drops below 10 g/s, both outputs will report zero flow.

2.2.4 Configure Added Damping

Display Not available

ProLink II ProLink→Configuration→Analog Output→AO Added Damp

Communicator 5,3,1,4Detailed Setup→Config Outputs→Analog Output 1→PV AO Added Damping

Added Damping controls the amount of damping that will be applied to the mA output. It affectsthe reporting of mA Output Process Variable through the mA output only. It does not affect thereporting of that process variable via any other method (e.g., the frequency output or digitalcommunications), or the value of the process variable used in calculations.

NoteAdded Damping is not applied if the mA output is fixed (for example, during loop testing) or if themA output is reporting a fault. Added Damping is applied while sensor simulation is active.

Options for Added Damping

When you set the value for Added Damping, the transmitter automatically rounds the value downto the nearest valid value. Valid values are listed in Table 2-4.

NoteAdded Damping values are affected by the setting of Update Rate and 100 Hz Variable.

Interaction of damping parameters

When mA Output Process Variable is set to a flow variable, density, or temperature, AddedDamping interacts with Flow Damping, Density Damping, or Temperature Damping. If multipledamping parameters are applicable, the effect of damping the process variable is calculated first,and the added damping calculation is applied to the result of that calculation.

♦ Example: Damping interaction

Configuration:

Flow Damping = 1 sec

mA Output Process Variable = Mass Flow Rate Added Damping = 2 sec

Result: A change in the mass flow rate will be reflected in the mA output over a time period thatis greater than 3 seconds. The exact time period is calculated by the transmitter according tointernal algorithms which are not configurable.

Communicator 5,3,2,3Detailed Setup→Config Outputs→FO/DO Config→FO Scale Method

Frequency Output Scaling Method defines the relationship between output pulse and flow units.Set Frequency Output Scaling Method as required by your frequency receiving device.

Procedure

1. Set the channel to operate as a frequency output, if you have not already done so.

2. Set Frequency Output Scaling Method.

Frequency=Flow Frequency calculated from flowrate

Pulses/Unit A user-specified number of pulses represents one flow unit

Units/Pulse A pulse represents a user-specified number of flow units

3. Set additional required parameters.

If you set Frequency Output Scaling Method to Frequency=Flow, set Rate Factor andFrequency Factor.

If you set Frequency Output Scaling Method to Pulses/Unit, define the number of pulsesthat will represent one flow unit.

If you set Frequency Output Scaling Method to Units/Pulse, define the number of unitsthat each pulse will indicate.

Frequency=Flow

The Frequency=Flow option is used to customize the frequency output for your application whenyou do not know appropriate values for Units/Pulse or Pulses/Unit.

If you select Frequency=Flow, you must provide values for Rate Factor and Frequency Factor:

Rate Factor The maximum flow rate that you want the frequency output to report.Above this rate, the transmitter will report A110: FrequencyOutput Saturated.

Frequency Factor A value calculated as follows:

where:

T Factor to convert selected time base toseconds

Integrate the meter with the control system

N Number of pulses per flow unit, asconfigured in the receiving device

The resulting Frequency Factor must be within the range of the frequency output (0 to 10,000 Hz):

If Frequency Factor is less than 1 Hz, reconfigure the receiving device for a higher pulses/unitsetting.

If Frequency Factor is greater than 10,000 Hz, reconfigure the receiving device for a lowerpulses/unit setting.

TipIf Frequency Output Scale Method is set to Frequency=Flow, and Frequency Output MaximumPulse Width is set to a non-zero value, Micro Motion recommends setting Frequency Factor toa value less than 200 Hz.

♦ Example: Configure Frequency=Flow

You want the frequency output to report all flow rates up to 2000 kg/min.

The frequency receiving device is configured for 10 pulses/kg.

Solution:

Set parameters as follows:

Rate Factor: 2000

Frequency Factor: 333.33

Communicator 5,3,2,5/6Detailed Setup→Config Outputs→FO/DO Config→Max Pulse Width

Frequency Output Maximum Pulse Width is used to ensure that the duration of the ON signal isgreat enough for your frequency receiving device to detect.

The ON signal may be the high voltage or 0.0 V, depending on Frequency Output Polarity, asshown in Table 2-6 .

Configuration and Use Manual Supplement 11

Integrate the meter with the control system

Table 2-6 Interaction of Frequency Output Maximum Pulse Width and Frequency Output Polarity

Polarity Pulse width

Active High

Active Low

Tips For typical applications, the default value (0) is appropriate for Frequency Output Maximum

Pulse Width. The default value produces a frequency signal with a 50% duty cycle.High-frequency counters such as frequency-to-voltage converters, frequency-to-currentconverters, and Micro Motion peripherals usually require a duty cycle of approximately 50%.

Electromechanical counters and PLCs that have low-scan cycle rates generally use an inputwith a fixed non-zero state duration and a varying zero state duration. Most low-frequencycounters have a specified requirement for Frequency Output Maximum Pulse Width.

Frequency Output Maximum Pulse Width

You can set Frequency Output Maximum Pulse Width to 0, or to values between 0.5 millisecondsand 277.5 milliseconds. The user-entered value is adjusted automatically to the nearest validvalue.

If you set Frequency Output Maximum Pulse Width is set to 0 (the default), the output willhave a 50% duty cycle, independent of the output frequency. See Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1 50% Duty cycle

If you set Frequency Output Maximum Pulse Width to a non-zero value, the duty cycle iscontrolled by the crossover frequency.

The crossover frequency is calculated as follows:

12 Micro Motion Model 1700 Transmitters with Analog Outputs

Page 19: P/NMMI-20015780,Rev. AA September …/media/resources/micro...Integratethemeterwiththecontrolsystem 2.2 ConfigurethemAoutput Display OFF-LINEMAINT→OFF-LINECONFG→IO→CHA ProLinkII

Integrate the meter with the control system

At frequencies below the crossover frequency, the duty cycle is determined by the pulsewidth and the frequency.

At frequencies above the crossover frequency, the output changes to a 50% duty cycle.

♦ Example: Frequency Output Maximum Pulse Width with specific PLC requirements

The frequency receiving device is a PLC with a specified pulse width requirement of 50milliseconds. The crossover frequency is 10 Hz.

Solution: Set Frequency Output Maximum Pulse Width to 50 milliseconds.

Result:

For frequencies lower than 10 Hz, the frequency output will have a 50–millisecond ON state,and the OFF state will be adjusted as required.

For frequencies higher than 10 Hz, the frequency output will be a square wave with a 50%duty cycle.

Flow Switch is used to indicate that the flow rate (measured by the configured flow variable) hasdropped below the configured setpoint. The flow switch is implemented with a user-configurablehysteresis.

Procedure

1. Set Discrete Output Source to Flow Switch, if you have not already done so.

2. Set Flow Switch Variable to the flow variable that will be used to control the flow switch.

3. Set Flow Switch Setpoint to the flow rate below which you want the flow switch to turn on.

4. Set Hysteresis to the percentage of variation above and below the setpoint that will operateas a deadband.Hysteresis defines a range around the setpoint within which the flow switch will not change.The default value is 5%. The range is 0.1% to 10%.

For example, if Flow Switch Setpoint = 100 g/sec and Hysteresis = 5%, and the flow ratedrops below 95 g/sec, the discrete output will turn ON. It will stay ON until the flow raterises above 105 g/sec. At this point it turns OFF and will remain OFF until the flow ratedrops below 95 g/sec.

Communicator 5,3,3Detailed Setup→Config Outputs→HART Output

HART/Bell 202 communications parameters support HART communication with the transmitter'sprimary mA terminals over a HART/Bell 202 network.

The HART/Bell 202 communications parameters include:

HART Address (Polling Address) Loop Current Mode (ProLink II) or mA Output Action (Communicator) Burst Parameters (optional) HART Variables (optional)

Procedure

1. Set Protocol to HART/Bell 202.

Parity, Stop Bits, and Baud Rate are set automatically.

2. Set HART Address to a value between 0 and 15.HART Address must be unique on the network. The default address (0) is typically usedunless you are in a multidrop environment.

TipDevices using HART protocol to communicate with the transmitter may use either HARTAddress or HART Tag (Software Tag) to identify the transmitter. You may configure either orboth, as required by your other HART devices.

3. Check the setting of Loop Current Mode (mA Output Action) and change it if required.

Enabled The primary mA output reports process data as configured.

Disabled The primary mA output is fixed at 4 mA and does not report process data.

TipWhenever you use ProLink II to set HART Address to 0, ProLink II also enables Loop CurrentMode. Whenever you use ProLink II to set HART Address to any other value, ProLink II alsodisables Loop Current Mode. This is designed to make it easier to configure the transmitterfor legacy behavior. Be sure to verify Loop Current Mode after setting HART Address.

4. (Optional) Enable and configure Burst Parameters.

Burst mode is a specialized mode of communication during which the transmitter regularlybroadcasts HART digital information over the mA output. The burst parameters control theinformation that is broadcast when burst mode is enabled.

TipIn typical installations, burst mode is disabled. Enable burst mode only if another device on thenetwork requires burst mode communication.

Procedure

1. Enable Burst Mode.

2. Set Burst Mode Output.

Primary Variable(ProLink II)PV (Communicator)

The transmitter sends the primary variable (PV) in the configured measurementunits in each burst (e.g., 14.0 g/s, 13.5 g/s, 12.0 g/s).

PV current & % of range(ProLink II)% range/current(Communicator)

The transmitter sends the PV’s percent of range and the PV’s actual mA levelin each burst (e.g., 25%, 11.0 mA).

Dynamic vars & PVcurrent (ProLink II)Processvariables/current(Communicator)

The transmitter sends PV, SV, TV, and QV values in measurement units andthe PV’s actual milliamp reading in each burst (e.g., 50 g/s, 23 °C, 50 g/s,0.0023 g/cm3, 11.8 mA). (7)

Transmitter vars(ProLink II)Fld dev var(Communicator)

The transmitter sends four user-specified process variables in each burst.

3. Set or verify the burst output variables.

If you are using ProLink II and you set Burst Mode Output to Transmitter Vars (ProLink II),set the four process variables to be sent in each burst:ProLink→Configuration→Device→Burst Setup→Burst Var 1–4
