6. Set the Deadband from 0 to 90%. This threshold is used to clear the
PV status.
7. Set Status Priority. This determines what happens when the specific
limit has been exceeded. No Alert - Ignores limit settings. Advisory -
Sets Advisory Plant Web Alert, but does not do anything with PV
status. Warning - Sets a Maintena nce Plant Web Alert and sets PV
status to uncertain. Failure - Sets A Failure Plant Web Alert and sets
PV status to Bad.
8. Set mode to Enabled for specific sensor.

COMMON

CONFIGURATIONS FOR

HIGH DENSITY

APPLICATIONS

For the application to work properly, configure the links between the fu nction
blocks and schedule the order of their execution. The Graphical User
Interface (GUI) provid ed by the FOUNDATION fieldbus host or configuration tool
will allow easy configuration.
The measurement strategies shown in this section represent some of the
common types of configurations available in the 848T. Although the
appearance of the GUI screens will vary from host to host, the configuration
logic is the same.
NOTE
Please ensure that the ho st system or configuration tool is properly configured
before downloading the transmitter configuratio n. If configured improperly, the
FOUNDATION fieldbus host or configuration tool could overwrite the default
transmitter configuration.
Typical Profiling Application
Example: Distillation column temperature profile where all channels have the
same sensor units (°C, °F, etc.).
1. Place the Multiple Analog Input (MAI) function block in OOS mode
(set MODE_BLK.TARGET to OOS).
2. Set CHANNEL= “channels 1 to 8.” Although the CHANNEL_X
parameters remain writable, CHANNEL_X can only be set = X when
CHANNEL=1.
3. Set L_TYPE to direct or indirect.
4. Set XD_SCALE (transduce r measurement scaling) to the appropriate
upper and lower range values, the appropriate sensor units, and
display decimal point.
5. Set OUT_SCALE (MAI output scaling) to the appropriate upper and
lower range values, the appropria te sensor units, and display decimal
point.
6. Place the MAI Function Block in auto mode.
7. Verify that the function blocks are scheduled.
