CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE
5 - 2
Although there are no harmful effects to the transmitter or the
loop, do not connect a transmitter configured for the analog
mode to a field bus. The field bus will not support analog out-
put devices.
The transmitter address (displayed as CHANNEL # on the
Type STT terminal display) is used for field bus transmitters.
Each transmitter on the field bus must have a separate
address. The address range is one through 15.
This menu displays types of Bailey-Fischer & Porter smart
transmitters. Choose the PTS selection by using the up arrow
and down arrow keys and then pressing the ENTER key.
The output of the transmitter must be specified as linear with
respect to the input, as a square root of the input, as
⁄
5
output, or as -power output. Also, the output can be speci-
2
fied as the volume of a spherical or flat ended horizontal tank,
or as a function generator that follows a six-segment linear
function. If a function generator is chosen, five input and out-
put points must also be specified as a percent of input. Note
that the first and the last point on the curve are assumed to be
zero and 100 percent respectively. Program five other points
between these two values (refer to
Section 2).
A transmitter in the normal-acting mode has an output that
increases with increasing input to the + (high pressure) con-
nection. The output of a transmitter in the reverse acting mode
decreases with increasing input to the + (high pressure)
connection.
Damping adjustments have no effect on the calibration or
accuracy of the transmitter; however, damping can be used to
smooth out a fluctuating process signal. Damping is adjust-
able and provides single (1τ) time constant values from 0.00 to
32.00 seconds. A damping adjustment of 32.00 seconds would
be used for a very noisy signal and a damping adjustment of
0.00 seconds would be used for an extremely quiet signal.
