Emerson Process Management 5300 Appendix G Register Transducer Block, Parameter Index Description

Reference Manual

Rosemount 5300 Series

Appendix G	Register Transducer Block
OVERVIEW	The Register Transducer Block allows access to Database registers and Input
	registers of the Rosemount 5300 transmitter. This makes it possible to read a
	selected set of register directly by accessing the memory location.
	The Register Transducer Block is only available with advanced service.

Since this Register Transducer Block allows access to most registers in the transmitter, which includes the registers set by the Methods and Configuration screens, in the Level Transducer Block (see Appendix F: Level Transducer Block) it should be handled with care and ONLY to be changed by trained and certified service personnel, or as guided by Emerson Process Management, Rosemount Division support personnel.

Transducer Block Parameters

Parameter	Index	Description
	Number
ST_REV	1	The revision level of the static data associated with the function
		block. The revision value increments each time a static parameter
		value in the block is changed.
TAG_DESC	2	The user description of the intended application of the block.
STRATEGY	3	The strategy field can be used to identify grouping of blocks. This
		data is not checked or processed by the block.
ALERT_KEY	4	The identification number of the plant unit. This information may
		be used in the host for sorting alarms, etc.
MODE_BLK	5	The actual, target, permitted, and normal modes of the block.
		Target: The mode to “go to”
		Actual: The mode the “block is currently in”
		Permitted: Allowed modes that target may take on
		Normal: Most common mode for target
BLOCK_ERR	6	This parameter reflects the error status associated with the
		hardware or software components associated with a block. It is a
		bit string, so that multiple errors may be shown.
UPDATE_EVT	7	This alert is generated by any change to the static data.
BLOCK_ALM	8	The block alarm is used for all configuration, hardware, connection
		failure or system problems in the block. The cause of the alert is
		entered in the subcode field. The first alert to become active will
		set the Active status in the Status parameter. As soon as the
		Unreported status is cleared by the alert reporting task, another
		block alert may be reported without clearing the Active status, if
		the subcode has changed.
TRANSDUCER_DIRECTORY	9	Directory that specifies the number and starting indices of the
		transducers in the transducer block.
TRANSDUCER_TYPE	10	Identifies the transducer.
