C.6 REGISTER TRANSDUCER BLOCK

Table C-16. Register
Transducer Block parameters
Appendix C. F
OUNDATION
The Register Transducer Block allows access to Database registers and Input
registers of the Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge. 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 the Register Transducer Block allows access to most registers in the 5900S, which
includes the registers set by the Methods and Configuration screens in the Level
Transducer Block (see "Measurement Transducer Block" on page C-11), 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 Tank Gauging support personnel.

Fieldbus Block Information
Parameter
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.
The user description of the intended application
of the block.
The strategy field can be used to identify
grouping of blocks. This data is not checked or
processed by the block.
The identification number of the plant unit. This
information may be used in the host for sorting
alarms, etc.
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
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.
This alert is generated by any change to the
static data
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.
