DOCUMENT RELATIONSHIP This is used to insure compliance with the HART HART Communications Communication Protocol. Protocol Specifications This is the MSA FlameGard 5 MSIR Product Instruction FlameGard 5 MSIR Manual. Instruction Manual Device Identification The following Table 1 is the Field Device Identification Data for the instrument.
Category Product Overview The FlameGard 5 MSIR is a Multi-Spectral Infrared (MSIR) Flame Detector from MSA. The FlameGard 5 MSIR employs state-of-the-art infrared detectors and a sophisticated Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to produce a system that is highly immune to false alarms such as, arc-welding, hot objects, and other sources of radiation.
FlameGard 5 MSIR HART Product Interfaces Process Interface This section describes all interfaces between the devices and the measured process. 4.1.1 Sensor Input Channels The unit’s pyroelectric sensors continually collect data at predetermined wavelengths. These are interpreted by an advanced Artificial Neural Network algorithm to detect flame within the field of view and to reject signals from false flame sources.
FlameGard 5 MSIR HART 7.0 Status Information The error status, which is returned via Common Practice Command #48, is shown in Table 2 and corresponds to MODBUS register 0x01. This also shows any COPM Faults. These bits may be set at power up to indicate an instrument failure.
