Rosemount 5300 Series

CONFIGURE THE AI BLOCK

A minimum of four parameters are required to configure the AI Block. The parameters are described below with example configurations shown at the end of this section.

CHANNEL

Select the channel that corresponds to the desired sensor measurement. The Rosemount 5300 measures Level (channel 1), Distance (channel 2), Level Rate (channel 3), Signal Strength (channel 4), Volume (channel 5), Internal Temperature (channel 6), Upper Product Volume (channel 7), Lower Product Volume (channel 8), Interface Distance (channel 9), Upper Product Thickness (channel 10), Interface Level (channel 11), Interface Level Rate (channel 12), Interface Signal Strength (channel 13), Signal Quality (channel 14), Surface/Noise Margin (channel 15), and Vapor DC (channel 16).

L_TYPE

The L_TYPE parameter defines the relationship of the transmitter measurement (Level, Distance, Level Rate, Signal Strength, Volume, and Average Temperature) to the desired output of the AI Block. The relationship can be direct or indirect root.

Direct

Select direct when the desired output will be the same as the transmitter measurement (Level, Distance, Level Rate, Signal Strength, Volume, and Internal Temperature).

Indirect

Select indirect when the desired output is a calculated measurement based on the transmitter measurement (Level, Distance, Level Rate, Signal Strength, Volume, and Internal Temperature). The relationship between the transmitter measurement and the calculated measurement will be linear.
