OUNDATION™ types of blocks. Each type of block has a different range of tasks to fulfill in the block model. The following types of blocks are implemented in the SAMSON Type 3730-5 Positioner: One Resource Block The Resource Block contains all the specific characteristics associated with a device on the Fieldbus, for example, device name, manufacturer number and serial number.
Fieldbus specification The AO Function Block converts the output value from an upstream function block into a control value for the valve. Execution time: 20 ms Two Discrete Input Function Blocks The DI Function Blocks are used as inputs to control binary signals. They support the se- lection of binary switching conditions of various functions.

Fieldbus specification To provide a better overview, the classified alarms are summarized in a condensed state (CONDENSED_STATE (59) in RES Block). Besides the CONDENSED_STATE parameter, the condensed state can be issued to the discrete output OUT_D of the DI Function Blocks. Possible states of the condensed state include: Maintenance The positioner still performs its control task (with restrictions).

Settings in TROVIS-VIEW software 16.3 Starting TROVIS-VIEW and performing basic settings You can perform the settings in TROVIS-VIEW either when the positioner is connected (on- line) to the computer or not connected (offline). Note: When the positioner is not connected, the default settings appear on the operator in- terface or, alternatively, a stored TROVIS-VIEW file (*.tro) can be loaded and overwritten by selecting Open in the File menu.
Page 81
5. Set the communications port for data communication. Proceed as follows: Connect the port (RS-232 or USB) of the computer using the corresponding adapter to the SAMSON SSP interface of the positioner. Select Communications in Options menu to open the server settings window. Click Server settings button.
Settings in TROVIS-VIEW software Converting the software version The TROVIS-VIEW software version must match the firmware of the positioner. On exchanging data between the positioner and TROVIS-VIEW, the software automatically checks whether the versions are compatible and, if necessary, converts the data. If you want to adapt the firmware version without exchanging any data, proceed as follows: 1.
Settings in TROVIS-VIEW software Data from the positioner are uploaded and shown in the operator interface. The complete set of data is downloaded to the positioner from the operator interface. To transfer individual parameters, open the corresponding context-sensitive menu. Select Write to just download the selected parameter, refer to section 16.4.3.
Settings in TROVIS-VIEW software Activate online operation: Select Online in Device menu to activate online mode. In online mode, on the device toolbar is animated. Deactivate online operation: Select Online in Device menu while the online mode is acti- vated. The online mode is canceled. Note! Alternatively, click on the device toolbar to activate and deactivate online operation.

In the Device Description Library supplied by Fieldbus Foundation upon which the device description of 3730-5 is also based, these parameters are incorrectly specified as the unit of ms. The specified values supplied by the device are, however, always to be interpreted as the unit of 1/32 ms.
The CHANNEL parameter is used to assign the Transducer Blocks to the function blocks. The Type 3730-5 Positioner has two binary inputs that work independently from one an- other. A Discrete Input Function Block exists for each input.
The Fault State is determined over FSTATE_TIME, FSTATE_VAL and IO_OPTS parameters. In the Device Description Library supplied by Fieldbus Foundation upon which the device description of 3730-5 is also based, "Fault state to value" is indicated as "Fault state type" in the IO_OPTS parameter of the AO Function Block.

Appendix 17.2.5 Discrete Input Function Block DI1 The Type 3730-5 Positioner is fitted with a standard contact input to process binary voltage signals. The Discrete Input DI1 Function Block is used for processing the contact input (terminals 87 und 88) and to integrate a F fieldbus application.
Appendix 17.2.6 Discrete Input Function Block DI2 The Type 3730-5 Positioner is optionally fitted with a binary input to process a floating con- tact. The Discrete Input DI2 Function Block is used for processing the contact input (terminals 85 und 86) and to integrate a F fieldbus application.
Appendix 17.2.7 PID Function Block A PID Function Block contains the input channel processing, the proportional-integral-deriva- tive (PID) control loop and the analog output channel processing. The configuration of the PID Block (PID controller) depends on the automation task. Simple control loops, control loops with manipulate variable feedforwarding, cascade con- trol and cascade controls with limitation in combination with another controller function block can be implemented.
Page 117
Appendix Derivative component: In controlled systems with long delay times, e.g. in temperature control loops, it is better to use the derivative component RATE of the controller. Using the derivative component RATE, the manipulated variable is calculated depending on the rate of change of the sys- tem deviation.
Appendix 17.3 Other parameters 17.3.1 Stale Counter The Stale Counter serves to judge the “quality” of a process variable received over a config- ured cyclic connection (publisher/subscriber connection). These connections are used to transfer the process variable linked amongst the various func- tion blocks.

Used to specify the identification number of the plant section.
