BASIC SETUP
Flow Units
The process variables (PV) measure flow in several ways that reflect your needs and the configuration of your flowmeter. When commissioning a flowmeter, review each process variable, its function and output, and take corrective action if necessary before using the flowmeter in a
process application
PV Value – The actual measured flow rate in the line. Use the Process Variable Units function to select the units for your application.
PV Status – The status of the process variable. This indicates whether the reported flow rate is “good”, “uncertain”, or “bad”.
The PV Value shows the current measured flow rate.
The PV Status shows the health of the PV Value.
Good - The PV Value is valid and the flowmeter system is operating normally.
Uncertain - The PV Value is being reported, but a condition exists that is potentially compromising the measurement. This condition could be caused by a problem with the flowmeter or the process.
Bad - A problem exists with the flowmeter system that has resulted in a potentially faulty flow measurement. Consult status and diagnostic information to identify the problem.
The basic configuration functions of the Rosemount 8732 must be set for all applications of the transmitter in a magnetic flowmeter system. If your application requires the advanced functionality features of the Rosemount 8732, see Section 4 of this manual.
Flow Units set the output units for the Primary Variable. This parameter is configured in the Transducer Block.
