1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the CiDRA SONARtrac system startup and operation. It is not intended to replace reading the full manual.

This overview and the installation manual are intended to be general installation guides for the SONARtrac Process Monitoring Systems. They are not intended to cover the installation details for every process due to the wide variety of applications and processes on which the system can be used. In all cases, local safety and operating practices should take precedence over instructions contained within these documents.

1.2 Sensor Head Description and Function

The SONARtrac sensor head contains no moving parts. The sensor head includes a sensor band and a fiberglass or stainless steel cover assembly to protect the sensor band. The sensor band is wrapped around and clamped onto the process pipe. A multi-conductor cable electrically connects the sensors to an electronic module mounted in the cover assembly. Signals from the electronic module exit through a connector mounted to the outer surface of the cover assembly.

1.3 Transmitter Description and Function

The SONARtrac transmitter receives electrical signals from the sensor head. The signals are processed using sonar array processing firmware that displays the calculated results on an integral LCD screen. Results can be transmitted using the 4–20mA analog output, pulse output, alarm output, MODBUS / RTU RS-485/232 interface or optional Foundation Fieldbus™. The electronic assembly is housed in a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure.

The SONARtrac meter can be installed and configured with the process in operation. Ideally, configuration is made with the process operating at normal flow rates and operating conditions.

If the process is on-line (flowing) the following system checks should be made.

3.2.1.1 Sensor Test

A Sensor Test all ‘ON’ sensors. (Individual sensors may be turned off in the ‘Customize>Sensor Setup>State’ menu. Sensors should never be turned off unless directed to do so by Technical Support Personnel.) The test will take several seconds to perform. After the test is completed, the screen will display test results.

A Sensor Test is made as follows:

• Press any key except ‘EXIT’ on the keypad to enter the ‘Menu

Mode’.

• The ‘Basic Config’ menu is displayed on Line 1 of the display.

• Press the ↓ key to scroll to the ‘Diagnostics’ menu on Line 1.

• ‘Sensor Check’ will appear on Line 2 of the display.

20984-01 Rev 01

• Press the ‘ENTER’ key to start the sensor test. Each of the

sensors will be tested. If any sensor does not PASS, repeat the test. Individual sensor faults will be displayed on the display and along with the recommended corrective action.

• Perform any recommended corrective measures and perform a

Sensor Test. Repeat as necessary

• Press the ‘EXIT’ key to return to ‘Operational Mode’.

3.2.1.2 Gain

An electronic ‘Gain’ (amplification) is applied to the sensor outputs. Transmitter based gain control functions are provided through three sub-menus – ‘AUTOSET GAIN’, ‘CHECK/SET GAIN’, and ‘TEST GAIN’. Gain adjustments should be made to the system when the process is operating “normally”.

The sensor head pre-amplifier gain sub-menus is accessed as follows:

3.2.1.2.1 Autoset Gain

‘Autoset Gain’ performs an automatic test and adjustment of the preamplifier gain setting. It automatically cycles through pre-determined gain settings in order to find the optimal gain setting based on the flow conditions at that time.

Autoset Gain is accessed as follows:

• Press any key except ‘EXIT’ on the keypad to enter the ‘Menu

Mode’.

• The ‘Basic Config’ menu is displayed on Line 1 of the display.

• Press the ↓ key to scroll to the ‘Diagnostics’ menu on Line 1.

Press the ‘ENTER’ key to access the options available under that menu.

The current sensor minimum and maximum measurements as well as the peak sensor values since the last peak history reset will be displayed. A ‘!’ at the start of a line indicates that the sensor is currently overloaded. This may indicate the sensor is not working properly or the pre-amplifier gain is too high and should be reduced. Pressing the ‘ENTER’ key will refresh the display. Pressing the ‘→’ arrow key will display a prompt to erase the sensor peak history. Press the ‘→’ arrow again to erase the peak values.

Sensors typically have peak values of -32768 and +32767. Values within the range of about -/+2000 to -/+8000 “ideal” when the process is operating at normal conditions. Note: In most cases the SONARtrac system will operate properly outside of the “ideal” range of values.

Sensor minimum and maximum values should be within about +/30% of each other. If one or more sensors are outside of these values, contact CiDRA Technical Support.

are considered to be

4 HART COMMUNICATIONS

4.1 Introduction

The SONARtrac transmitter implementation of HART supports HART Universal Command Revisions 5 and 6 as well as multi-drop, with a configurable Polling Address. It does not support Burst Mode at this time. The SONARtrac transmitter will appear as a GENERIC device on the HART Model 275 Handheld, for example. Most commands are either Universal or Common Practice commands; therefore, the SONARtrac transmitter will work with a host that can communicate with a generic device.

DDL files exist, but have not been submitted to the HART Communication Foundation (HCF) as of this time.

4.2 Setup

4.2.1 Internal Vs External Current Source

The 4-20mA current setting is the most important configuration setting for the HART interface. Either Internal or External power may be selected.

Most of the other HART configuration settings will typically not be changed.

4.2.4 HART Activity Indicator

When the SONARtrac receives a valid HART message, an indicator will appear on the lower right of the SONARtrac display. This indicator

will be removed if another message is not received in 10 seconds.

4.2.5 Transmitter Front Panel Menu Inputs

The following HART options are available from the transmitter front panel.

4.2.5.1 Universal Command Revision

The most generally deployed HART Revision is 5, the SONARtrac default HART Protocol Revision. In the case where the SONARtrac transmitter must communicate with a Revision 6 HART Master, this option may be changed to 6.

Figure 8 HART Universal Command Revision

4.2.5.2 Polling Address

When using a Point to Point topology, leave the Polling Address at 0. If using Multi-Drop, set the Polling Address to a number unique from any other HART devices on the Multi-Drop loop.

Figure 9 HART Polling Address

20984-01 Rev 01

4.2.5.3 Preambles/Response Preambles

The number of Preambles or Response Preambles should not need to be changed unless the 4-20mA current loop is noisy. The maximum preambles setting is 20.

Figure 10 HART Preambles and Response Preambles

4.2.6 Transmitter Configuration File HART Settings

In addition to the transmitter front panel inputs, the following inputs can be made through one of the SONARtrac Utility Programs.

4.2.6.1 Description

Any string of 16 valid HART characters. This is used to describe the transmitter application, tag number, or any other information the customer may wish.

4.2.6.2 Date

Date field readable by the attached HART master. This can be used to save an installation date for example.

4.2.6.3 Tag

Any string of 8 valid HART characters. This string will appear on the display of the Model 275 HART communicator.

4.2.6.4 Long Tag

Any string of 40 valid HART characters. Used in HART Universal Command Rev 6 as a HART identifier.

4.2.6.5 Message

Any string of 32 HART characters. This string is shown on the lower left of the SONARtrac display, and may be used to identify the installation.

4.2.6.6 Device Serial Number

3 digit serial number of the transmitter.

4.2.6.7 Final Assembly

Three (3) digit final assembly number of the transmitter.

4.2.6.8 Damping

Currently not used.

20984-01 Rev 01

4.2.6.9 PV Trim

Value subtracted from the HART ‘Primary Variable’ (i.e. VF).

4.3 HART Troubleshooting

4.3.1 HART Master Does Not Connect to SONARtrac

4.3.1.1 The HART Activity Icon Does NOT Appear on Display

• Check the Internal/External POWER SEL setting for 4-20mA CH 1.

• Check that the Universal Command Rev matches the master.

• Check the polling address – 0 if Point to Point, unique if multi-drop.

4.3.1.2 The HART Activity Icon DOES Appear on Display

• Check that the Universal Command Rev matches the master.

• Check the polling address – 0 if Point to Point, unique if multi-drop.

4.3.2 Primary Value Read Using HART Does Not Match SONARtrac

• Check that the PV Trim value is 0.

4.3.3 Connection to SONARtrac Is Intermittent

• Increase the PREAMBLES or RESP. PREAMBLES on SONARtrac

transmitter.
