OUNDATION

fieldbus

™

1.1

Overview

F

OUNDATION fieldbus ™ is a digital communications system that serially interconnects devices in the field. A Fieldbus system is similar to a Distributed Control System (DCS) with two exceptions:

• Although a F

OUNDATION fieldbus ™ system can use the same physical wiring as 4–20 mA device, Fieldbus devices are not connected point to point, but rather are multidropped and wired in parallel on a single pair of wires (referred to as a segment).

• F

OUNDATION fieldbus ™ is a system that allows the user to distribute control across a network. Fieldbus devices are smart and can actually maintain control over the system.

Unlike 4–20 mA analog installations in which the two wires carry a single variable (the varying 4–20 mA current), a digital communications scheme such as F

OUNDATION fieldbus ™ considers the two wires as a network. The network can carry many process variables as well as other information. The

PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter is a

F

OUNDATION fieldbus ™ registered device that communicates with the H1 F

OUNDATION fieldbus ™ protocol operating at

31.25 kbits/sec. The H1 physical layer is an approved IEC

61158 standard.

1.2

Device Description (DD)

An important requirement of Fieldbus devices is the concept of interoperability, defined as “the ability to operate multiple devices in the same system, regardless of manufacturer, without loss of functionality.”

Device Description (DD) technology is used to achieve this interoperability. The DD provides extended descriptions for each object and provides pertinent information needed by the host system. DDs are similar to the drivers that your personal computer (PC) uses to operate peripheral devices connected to it. Any Fieldbus host system can operate with a device if it has the proper DD and Common File Format

(CFF) for that device.

The most recent DD and CFF files can be found on the

F

OUNDATION fieldbus™ web site at www.fieldbus.org.

NOTE: Consult your host system vendor for any host-specific files that may be needed.

Link Active Scheduler (LAS)

The default operating class of the PULSAR Model R96 FF with F

OUNDATION fieldbus ™ is a Basic device. However, it is capable of being configured as a Link Active Scheduler

(LAS).

The LAS controls all communication on a F

OUNDATION fieldbus™ segment. It maintains the “Live List” of all devices on a segment and coordinates both the cyclic and acyclic timing.

The primary LAS is usually maintained in the host system, but in the event of a failure, all associated control can be transferred to a backup LAS in a field device such as the

PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter.

NOTES:

1) The PULSAR Model R96 is normally shipped from the factory with

Device Class set to Basic.

2) The operating class can be changed from Basic to LAS using a

F

OUNDATION fieldbus™ configuration tool.

1.4

Intrinsic Safety

The H1 physical layer supports Intrinsic Safety (IS) applications with bus-powered devices. To accomplish this, an

Intrinsically Safe barrier or galvanic isolator is placed between the power supply in the safe area and the device in the hazardous area.

H1 also supports the Fieldbus Intrinsically Safe Concept

(FISCO) model which allows more field devices in a network. The FISCO model considers the capacitance and inductance of the wiring to be distributed along its entire length. Therefore, the stored energy during a fault will be less and more devices are permitted on a pair of wires.

Instead of the conservative entity model, which only allows about 90 mA of current, the FISCO model allows a maximum of 110 mA for Class II C installations and 240 mA for Class II B installations.

FISCO certifying agencies have limited the maximum segment length to 1000 meters because the FISCO model does not rely on standardized ignition curves.

The PULSAR Model R96 FF is available with entity IS,

FISCO IS, FNICO non-incendive, or explosion proof approvals.

Standard Function Blocks

2.1

Overview

The function of a F

OUNDATION fieldbus

™ device is determined by the arrangement of a system of blocks defined by the Fieldbus foundation. The types of blocks used in a typical User Application are described as either Standard or

Advanced.

Function Blocks are built into the F

OUNDATION fieldbus

™ devices as needed to provide the desired control system behavior. The input and output parameters of function blocks can be linked over the Fieldbus and there can be numerous function blocks in a single User Application.

The PULSAR Model R96 FF is a Pulse Burst Radar level transmitter with the following standard

F

OUNDATION fieldbus

™

Function Blocks:

• One (1) Resource Block (RB)

• Two (2) Custom Transducer Blocks (TB)

• Six (6) Analog Input Function Blocks (AI)

• Two (2) PID Blocks (PID)

With Advanced Function Blocks:

• One (1) Arithmetic Block (AR)

• One (1) Input Selector Block (IS)

• One (1) Signal Characterizer Block (SC)

The idea of Function Blocks, which a user can customize for a particular application, is a key concept of Fieldbus topology. Function Blocks consist of an algorithm, inputs and outputs, and a user-defined Block Tag.

The Transducer Block (TB) output is available to the network through the Analog Input (AI) blocks. Refer to

Section 2.3 for additional information on the Transducer

Blocks.

The AI blocks take the TB values and make them available as an analog value to other function blocks. The AI blocks have scaling conversion, filtering, and alarm functions.

Refer to Section 2.4 for additional information on the

Analog Input Blocks.

As shown in the diagram at left, the end user typically configures the Process Variable value as an Analog Input to their fieldbus network.

2.1.1 universal fieldbus Block Parameters

The following are general descriptions of the parameters common to all function blocks. Additional information for a given parameter may be described later in a section that describes the specific block.

ST_REV

: a read only parameter that gives the revision level of the static data associated with the block. This parameter will be incremented each time a static parameter attribute value is written and is a vehicle for tracking changes in static parameter attributes.

TAG_DESC

: a user assigned parameter that describes the intended application of any given block.

STRATEGY:

a user assigned parameter that identifies groupings of blocks associated with a given network connection or control scheme.

ALERT_KEY

: a user assigned parameter which may be used in sorting alarms or events generated by a block.

MODE_BLK

: a structured parameter composed of the actual mode, the target mode, the permitted mode(s), and the normal mode of operation of a 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

NOTES:

1) It may be required to change the MODE_BLK target parameter to

OOS (out of service) to change configuration parameters in that specific function block. (When in OOS, the normal algorithm is no longer executed and any outstanding alarms are cleared.)

2) All blocks must be in an operating mode for the device to operate. This requires the Resource Block and the Transducer Block to be in “AUTO” before the specific function block can be placed in a mode other than OOS (out of service).

BLOCK_ERR:

a parameter that reflects the error status of hardware or software components associated with, and directly affecting, the correct operation of a block.

NOTE: A BLOCK_ERR of “Simulation Active” in the Resource Block does not mean simulation is active—it merely indicates that the simulation (hardware) enabling jumper is present. (See page 21 and refer to Section 2.4.5 for additional information).



2.2

Resource Block

The RESOURCE BLOCK describes the characteristics of the F

OUNDATION fieldbus

™ device such as the device name, manufacturer, and serial number. As it only contains data specific to the PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter, it has no control function.

2.2.1 Resource Block Parameters

F

OUNDATION fieldbus

™ manufacturer’s ID number, which is

0x000156.

DEV_TYPE

: The model number of the PULSAR Model

R96 FF transmitter (0x0007). It is used by the Host System and other fieldbus interface devices to locate the Device

Descriptor (DD) file.

DEV_REV

: Contains the device revision of the PULSAR

Model R96 FF transmitter and is used by the Host System and other fieldbus interface devices to correctly select the associated DD.

DD_REV

: Contains the revision of the DD associated with the device revision of the PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter. It is used by the Host System and other Fieldbus interface devices to correctly select the associated DD.

GRANT_DENY

: Options for controlling access of host computer and local control panels to operating, tuning and alarm parameters of the block.

HARD_TYPES

: The types of hardware available as channel numbers.

RESTART

: Default and Processor are the available selections. Default will reset the Model R96 to the default function block configuration.

NOTE: As RESTART DEFAULT will set most function block configuration parameters to their default values. Devices need to be reconfigured following activation of this function.

MEMORY_SIZE

: Available configuration memory in the empty resource.

NV_CYCLE_T

: The minimum time interval between copies of non-volatile (NV) parameters to NV memory. NV memory is only updated if there has been a significant change in the dynamic value and the last value saved will be available for the restart procedure.

NOTE: After completing a download, allow several seconds before removing power from the PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter to ensure that all data has been saved.

FREE_SPACE

: Shows the amount of available memory for further configuration. The value is zero percent in a preconfigured device.

FREE_TIME

: The amount of the block processing time that is free to process additional blocks.

SHED_RCAS

: The time duration at which to give up computer writes to function block RCas locations.

SHED_ROUT

: The alert generated if the write lock parameter is cleared.

ITK_VER (ITK Version)

: Contains the version of the

Interoperability Test Kit (ITK) used by the Fieldbus

Foundation during their interoperability testing.

COMPATIBILITY_REV

: This parameter is intended to assist users and host system in device replacement scenarios.

It is a read-only parameter and the value of the

COMPATIBILITY_REV is defined by the device developer and manufacturer. In such device replacement scenario the

DEV_REV value of the replaced device is equal or greater than the COMPATIBILITY_REV value of the new device.

2.2.2 additional Resource Block Parameters

Additional parameters are available within the resource block for use with NE-107 to aid in communicating device conditions to the user.

FD_VER

COMPATIBILITY_REV value of the replacing device.

NOTE:

The Transducer Block will automatically be changed to “Out of Service” when the local interface (keypad) is used to change a static parameter online. The

Transducer Block must be manually placed back in service from the Host

System to resume operation.

2.3

Transducer Block

The two TRANSDUCER blocks (TB) contained within the

PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter are custom blocks containing parameters that are pertinent to the transmitter itself.

TRANSDUCER Block 1 (used for level only operation) contains information such as the Configuration, Diagnostics,

Calibration data, output level and Status information.

TRANSDUCER Block 2 contains parameters for volume measurement configuration.

The read-only parameters and read-write parameters within the TB are grouped in a useful configuration.

• The read-only parameters report the block status and operation modes.

• The read-write parameters affect both the operation of the function block and the transmitter itself.



13

14

2.3.1 transducer Block Parameters

The first six parameters in the TRANSDUCER Block are the universal parameters discussed in section 2.1.1. After the universal parameters, six additional parameters are required for Transducer Blocks. The most notable of these parameters are

UPDATE_EVT

and

BLOCK_ALM

. It should be noted that these six additional parameters must exist but do not have to be implemented.

An important device-specific parameter found later in the

TRANSDUCER Block list is

PRESENT_STATUS

, which displays the status of the device. If more than one message exists, then the messages are displayed in priority order.

If

PRESENT_STATUS

indicates a problem, refer to

Section 5.2, Troubleshooting.

For a complete list of transducer Block Parameters, refer to table in the appendix.

NOTE: The user should compare the DD file and revision number of the device with the HOST system to ensure they are at the same revision level.

Refer to the DD Revision Table Section 1.2.1.

Refer to Appendix A for a complete list of the two Transducer

Block parameter sets.

2.3.2 Password Parameters

To change a parameter at the local user interface, host, or fieldbus interface, a value matching the user password must be entered (Default = 0). If a static parameter is changed from the local user interface, the Associated Transducer

Block goes Out of Service (OOS).

Refer to the Section 4.3 for additional information regarding passwords.

After five minutes with no keypad activity, the entered password expires. However, the device must be placed back in service from the Host System.

2.3.3 PuLSaR Model R96 FF Configuration Parameters

One of the main advantages of the PULSAR Model R96 FF

Pulse Burst Radar transmitter is that the device can be delivered pre-configured to the user.



On the other hand, part of the advantage of F

OUNDATION fieldbus ™ is to provide the ability to monitor changes and make adjustments to a transmitter. The Fieldbus ™ concept allows a user to make adjustments if deemed necessary.

2.3.4 PuLSaR Model R96 FF device-Specific

Configuration Parameters

Refer to PULSAR Model R96 I/O Manual 58-602 for detailed information on the Model R96 device-specific configuration parameters.

2.4

BLOCK_ERR_DESC

: Reports more specific details regarding some errors reported through BLOCK_ERR.

The MODE_BLK parameter (within both the TB and AI

Blocks) must be set to AUTO to pass the PV Value through the AI to the network.

Transducer scaling, called XD_SCALE is applied to the PV from the CHANNEL to produce the FIELD_VAL in percent.

• Valid XD_SCALE engineering units depend on the

Channel Type.

2.4.2 ai Block diagnostics

The AI blocks can display a BLOCK_ERR diagnostic when:

1. The Channel is not set correctly.

2. XD_SCALE does not have suitable engineering units.

3. The SIMULATE parameter is active.

4. AI block MODE is O/S (out of service).

NOTE: This can be caused by the Resource Block being OOS or the AI

Block not scheduled for execution.

5. L-TYPE not set or set to Direct with improper

OUT_SCALE.

The AI block uses the STATUS_OPTS setting and the

“LIMIT” ALARM PARAMETERS value to modify the AI

PV and OUT QUALITY.

A Damping Filter is a feature of the AI block. The

PV_FTIME parameter is a time constant of a single exponential filter for the PV, in seconds. This parameter can be used to dampen out fluctuation in level due to excessive turbulence.

The AI block also has multiple ALARM functions that monitor the OUT parameter for out of bound conditions.

2.4.3 Local display of analog input

The PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter incorporates a useful feature that allows the Analog Input (AI) block Out values to be displayed on the local LCD.



LCd Home Screen

NOTE: There are many reasons that AI block Out values can deviate from the measurement value originating in the Transducer block, and because the keypad and local display will only provide access to Transducer block parameters, there is no way to change (or view) the other fieldbus configuration items affecting the AI block output using the keypad and LCD.

In other words, these screens should only be considered as measured value indicators for configured transmitters. For example:

• The screens are not used for commissioning or diagnostic/troubleshooting purposes.

• Prior to full fieldbus configuration (transmitter assigned a permanent address, AI block(s) configured and scheduled for execution, etc.), the value displayed will be 0 with “BAD: OUT OF SERVICE” indicated.

It will not reflect the transducer measurement.

2.4.3.1 AI Out Display Screens

The Analog Input Block Out values can be conditionally displayed as part of the “rotating” home menu screens. A representative example is shown at left.

The screens will be formatted as shown with:

• Physical Device Tag (Selectable)

• Measured Value Status (Bad, Good, Uncertain)

• Bar Graph

For example, “AI1_Level” would be the most commonly used AI Out screen.

“AI2---” would be displayed when the channel value is 0

[uninitialized] for AI block 2.

Because the Model R96 transmitter has six (6) Analog Input blocks, any or all of which may be used in particular applications, a Transducer block parameter controls which AI block Out values will be displayed on the LCD.

Any or all (or none) of the AI block Out values can be selected for display on the rotating home menu.

NOTE: In the photo at left, status is shown as “Bad out of Service”.

This message would be shown prior to commissioning.

2.4.5 Simulation Feature

The PULSAR Model R96 with F

OUNDATION fieldbus

™ supports the Simulate feature in the Analog Input block.

The Simulate feature is typically used to exercise the operation of an AI block by simulating a TRANSDUCER block input.

This feature cannot be activated without the placement of a hardware jumper. A jumper is provided in the “Run” position of the PULSAR Model R96, and is placed under the display module. To enable the simulation feature, remove display module and move the jumper to the “SIM” position. Refer to figure at left for jumper location.

NOTE: A BLOCK_ERR of “Simulation Active” in the Resource Block does not mean simulation is active—it merely indicates that the simulation (hardware) enabling jumper is present.

• The jumper may be removed to eliminate the

BLOCK_ERR and placed back in the “Run” position.

2.5 PID Block

The PID Function Block contains the logic necessary to perform Proportional/Integral/Derivative (PID) control.

The block provides filtering, set point and rate limits, feedforward support, output limits, error alarms, and mode shedding.

Although most other function blocks perform functions specific to the associated device, the PID block may reside in any device on the network. This includes a valve, a transmitter, or the host itself.

Password Protection

The PULSAR Model R96 transmitter has three levels of password protection to restrict access to certain portions of the menu structure that affect the operation of the system.

The user password can be changed to any numerical value up to 59999. When the transmitter is programmed for password protection, a password is required whenever configuration values are changed.

User Password

The User Password allows the customer to limit access to the basic configuration parameters from both the local and fieldbus interfaces.

The default User Password installed in the transmitter at the factory is 0. (With a password of 0, the transmitter is not password protected and any value in the basic user menus can be adjusted without entering a confirming password.)

NOTE: If a User Password is not known or has been misplaced, the menu item New Password in the DEVICE SETUP/ADVANCED

CONFIG menu displays an encrypted value representing the present password. Contact Technical Support with this encrypted password to retrieve the original User Password.

5.0 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

The PULSAR Model R96 transmitter is designed and engineered for trouble-free operation over a wide range of operating conditions. The transmitter continuously runs a series of internal self-tests and displays helpful messages on the large graphic liquid crystal display (LCD) when attention is required.

The combination of these internal tests and diagnostics messages offer a valuable proactive method of troubleshooting. The device not only tells the user what is wrong, but also, and more importantly, offers suggestions on how to solve the problem.

All of this information can be obtained directly from the transmitter on the LCD, remotely from the Fieldbus host system, or by utilizing PACT

ware

and the PULSAR Model

R96 DTM.

PACT

ware ™

PC Program

The PULSAR Model R96 offers the ability to perform more advanced diagnostics such as Trending and Echo

Curve analysis using a PACT

ware

DTM. This is a powerful troubleshooting tool that can aid in the resolution of any diagnostic indicators that may appear.

5.1 Diagnostic Parameters

As mentioned above, the PULSAR Model R96 measurement engine runs through a series of self-tests and will detect and report faulty operation. The TRANSDUCER

BLOCK displays this diagnostic information in the STA-

TUS INDICATOR parameter. Refer to Section 5.1.3 for more information on specific diagnostic indicators.

Note: Within the TRANSDUCER BLOCK,

BLOCK_ERROR is not used except for indicating Out of

Service (OOS).

For the first few seconds after power is applied to the Model

R96 transmitter, the LEVEL_STATUS/QUALITY is

“Uncertain,” the SUB_STATUS is “Initial value,” and the

LIMIT attribute is shown as “Constant.”

When the Model R96 is operating properly, the

LEVEL_STATUS/QUALITY is shown as “GOOD,” and the SUB_STATUS is “Non-Specific.”



While changing any transmitter parameters using the local display or through a system configuration tool (with the

MODE_BLK in OOS), the output might be inaccurate because of the changing parameters. When the device is set to OOS, the TRANSDUCER BLOCK will still output level but the QUALITY will be shown as “Bad” and the

SUB_STATUS is “Out of Service.”

If the Model R96 fails to find a measurable level, the

TRANSDUCER BLOCK maintains the last good value as the output and flags the failure. The QUALITY is “Bad,” the SUB_STATUS is “Device failure” for no level, and the

LIMIT attribute is “Constant.”

Refer to Section 5.2 for additional information.

5.1.1 diagnostics (namur nE 107)

The PULSAR Model R96 transmitter includes an exhaustive list of Diagnostic Indicators which follow the NAMUR

NE 107 guidelines.

NAMUR is an international user association of automation technology in process industries, whose goal is to promote the interest of the process industry by pooling experiences among its member companies. In doing so, this group promotes international standards for devices, systems, and technologies.

The objective of NAMUR NE 107 was essentially to make maintenance more efficient by standardizing diagnostics information from field devices. This was initially integrated via F

OUNDATION

Fieldbus, but the concept applies regardless of the communication protocol.

According to the NAMUR NE107 recommendation, "Self

Monitoring and Diagnosis of Field Devices," fieldbus diagnostic results should be reliable and viewed in the context of a given application. The document recommends categorizing internal diagnostics into four standard status signals:

• Failure

• Function Check

• Out of Specification

• Maintenance required

Status Signals

In essence, this approach ensures that the correct diagnostic information is available to the correct person-at the correct time. In addition, it allows diagnostics to be applied, as most appropriate, for a particular plant application (such as process control engineering or asset management maintenance). Customer specific mapping of diagnostics to these categories allows for flexible configuration depending on the user's requirements.

From an external Model R96 transmitter perspective, diagnostic information includes measurement of process conditions, in addition to detection of internal device or system anomalies.

As mentioned above, the indicators can be assignable (via the DTM or host system) by the user to any (or none) of the NAMUR recommended Status Signal categories:

Failure, Function Check, Out of Specification, and

Maintenance Required.

The F

OUNDATION fieldbus version of the Model R96 transmitter was implemented according to the Field Diagnostics

Profile, which is consistent with the objectives of NE 107.

In the F

OUNDATION fieldbus version, diagnostic indicators can be mapped to multiple categories, an example is shown in the diagram at left.

In this example, “Calibration Required” is mapped to both the Out of Specification and Maintenance Required status signals, and the diagnostic indicator named “High

Electronic Temperature” is mapped to none of the signals.

Indicators that are mapped to the Failure category will normally result in a bad status indication.

A default mapping of all diagnostic indicators will be applied initially, and can be re-applied through use of a restart with defaults operation.

42



Refer to the table below for a complete listing of the Model

R96 diagnostic indicators, along with their explanations, default categories, and recommended remedies.

NOTES: 1) The remedies shown in this table can also be seen on the transmitter LCD by viewing the present status screen when the device is in a diagnostic condition.

The DD and DTM allow for the ability to manipulate diagnostic indicators mapped to NE-107 alarm categories in

Resource Block. Intended as a means to verify the configuration of the diagnostic parameters and connected equipment, a user can manually change any indicator in the

Resource Block to and from the active state.

5.1.4 diagnostic Help

Selecting DIAGNOSTICS from the MAIN MENU presents a list of five ITEMS from the top level of the

DIAGNOSTICS tree.

When Present Status is highlighted, the highest

MAGNETROL priority active diagnostic indicator (numerically lowest in Table 5.1.3) is displayed on the bottom

LCD line as shown above. Pressing the ENTER key moves the active diagnostic indicator to the top line outdented and presents in the lower area of the LCD a brief explanation of and possible remedies for the indicated condition. A blank line separates the explanation from the remedies. Additional active diagnostic indicators, if any, appear with their explanations in descending priority order. Each additional active indicator name-explanation pair is separated by a blank line from the one above.

If the explanation and remedy text (and additional nameexplanation pairs) exceeds the available space, a appears in the rightmost column of the last line indicating more text below. In this situation, the DOWN key scrolls the text up.

Similarly, while text exists above the upper line of the text field, a appears in the rightmost column of the top (text) line. In this situation, the UP key scrolls the text down.

Otherwise the DOWN and UP keys are inoperative. In all cases the ENT or BACK key reverts to the previous screen.

When the transmitter is operating normally and the highlight cursor is positioned on Present Status, the bottom

LCD line displays “OK” because no diagnostic indicators are active.

• The cable shield is to be hard grounded only at one point close to the DCS. In addition, the cable shield can be capacitively grounded in multiple places to improve EMC protection.

• Ensure all devices are on the “live list,” and the schedule has been downloaded.

• Ensure that the Resource Block, then the Transducer

Block, and lastly the Function Block(s) being used are in“Auto” mode rather than Out of Service (OOS).

If all of these requirements are met, stable communication should be established.

Service Policy

Owners of MAGNETROL may request the return of a control or any part of a control for complete rebuilding or replacement. They will be rebuilt or replaced promptly.

Controls returned under our service policy must be returned by Prepaid transportation. Magnetrol will repair or replace the control at no cost to the purchaser (or owner) other than transportation if:

1. Returned within the warranty period; and

2. The factory inspection finds the cause of the claim to be covered under the warranty.

If the trouble is the result of conditions beyond our control; or, is NOT covered by the warranty, there will be charges for labor and the parts required to rebuild or replace the equipment.

In some cases it may be expedient to ship replacement parts; or, in extreme cases a complete new control, to replace the original equipment before it is returned. If this is desired, notify the factory of both the model and serial numbers of the control to be replaced. In such cases, credit for the materials returned will be determined on the basis of the applicability of our warranty.

No claims for misapplication, labor, direct or consequential damage will be allowed.

Return Material Procedure

So that we may efficiently process any materials that are returned, it is essential that a “Return Material

Authorization” (RMA) number be obtained from the factory prior to the material’s return. This is available through Magnetrol local representative or by contacting the factory. Please supply the following information:

1. Company Name

2. Description of Material

3. Serial Number

4. Reason for Return

5. Application

Any unit that was used in a process must be properly cleaned in accordance with OSHA standards, before it is returned to the factory.

A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must accompany material that was used in any media.

All shipments returned to the factory must be by prepaid transportation.

All replacements will be shipped F.O.B. factory.
