Changing the measurement units

The transmitter is able to store measurement units in two different places: in the transducer block and
in the AI blocks. These two units locations are independent and can be set to different values. This
affects configuration in the following ways:
• If you are using a PROFIBUS configuration tool or the display, units will be set to match in
both the relevant AI block and the transducer block.
• If you are using ProLink II, use the
be configured on some of the other tabs, doing so may produce unintended results.
Note: Changing the measurement units for a process variable automatically changes the associated
totalizer units as well. For example, setting the mass flow units to g/s will automatically set the mass
totalizer unit to grams.
Note: Configure the AI block channel before configuring the AI block units. The AI blocks will
produce an error if the measurement units are set to a value that is impossible for the configured
channel.
To configure measurement units, refer to Tables 4-2 through 4-7 and the flowcharts in Figures 2-1
and 2-3.
