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.
