CONFIGURATION

Standard Each FOUNDATION fieldbus configuration tool or host system has a different
way of displaying and performing configurations. Some will use Device
Descriptions (DDs) and DD Methods to make configuration and displaying of
data consistent across host platforms.
Unless otherwise specified, the 848T will be shipped with the following
configuration (default):
Table 3-1. Standard
Configuration Settings
Refer to that systems documentation to perform configuration changes using
a FOUNDATION fieldbus host or configuration tool.
NOTE
To make configuration changes, ensure th at the block is Out of Service (OOS)
by setting the MODE_BLK.TARGET to OOS, or set the SENSOR_MODE to
Configuration.

Transmitter

Configuration The transmitter is available with the standard configuration setting. The
configuration settings and block configuration may be changed in the field
with the Emerson Process Manag ement Systems DeltaV®, with AMSinside, or
other FOUNDATION fieldbus host or configuration tool.
Custom Configuration Custom configurations are to be specified when ordering.
Methods For FOUNDATION fieldbus hosts or configuration tools that support device
description (DD) methods, there are two configuration methods available in
the Transducer block. These methods are included with the DD software.
Sensor Configur ation
Sensor Input Trim (user input trim)
See the host system documentation for information on running DD methods
from the host system. If the FOUNDATION fieldbus host or configuration tool
does not support DD methods, refer to “Block Configuration” on page 3-7 for
information on how to modify sensor configuration parameters.
