Chapter 7

Configuring the Filling and Dosing Application

7.1About this chapter

This chapter explains how to configure the filling and dosing application on the Model 1500 transmitter. For information on using the filling and dosing application, see Chapter 8.

CAUTION

Changing configuration can affect transmitter operation, including filling.

Changes made to filling configuration while a fill is running do not take effect until the fill is ended. Changes made to other configuration parameters may affect filling. To ensure correct filling, do not make any configuration changes while a fill is in progress.

7.2User interface requirements

ProLink II v2.3 or later is required to configure the filling and dosing application.

Alternatively, configuration can be performed via a customer-written program using the Modbus interface to the Model 1500 transmitter and the filling and dosing application. Micro Motion has published the Modbus interface in the following manuals:

•Using Modbus Protocol with Micro Motion Transmitters, November 2004, P/N 3600219, Rev. C (manual plus map)

•Modbus Mapping Assignments for Micro Motion Transmitters, October 2004, P/N 20001741, Rev. B (map only)

Both of these manuals are available on the Micro Motion web site.

7.3About the filling and dosing application

The filling and dosing application is used to begin flow, then end flow automatically when the target amount of process fluid has flowed through the sensor. During a fill, flow may be paused and resumed. A fill may also be ended before the target is reached.
