Overview

The Advanced Configuration Transducer Block contains functions for the advanced
configuration of the Rosemount
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.

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