Appendix H Advanced Configuration Transducer Block

OVERVIEW		The Advanced Configuration Transducer Block contains functions for the
		advanced configuration of the Rosemount 5300 transmitter. It includes
		functions, such as amplitude threshold settings for filtering of disturbing
		echoes and noise, simulation of measurement values, Empty Tank Handling
		for optimizing measurements close to the tank bottom, and strapping table for
		volume measurements.

Configuration 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.
				100 = Standard pressure with calibration
	XD_ERROR		11	A transducer block alarm subcode.
	COLLECTION_DIRECTORY		12
