1.5 Terminology

The following terms are used in this manual:

• Series 3000 – refers to all Model 3300, 3350, 3500, or 3700 devices.

• MVD – Multi Variable Digital, Micro Motion’s advanced method of analyzing and reporting

process variables.

• Application – a specific use of the flowmeter technology, and the specialized software or

hardware required for implementation. Sample applications include enhanced density,
batching, and custody transfer.

• Platform – refers to any component that can run an application. The component may be a

transmitter or a controller (see below).

• Sensor – provides measurement functions.

• Core processor – refers to the component which provides memory and preprocessing

functions on process variable data received from the sensor. There are two versions: the
standard core processor and the enhanced core processor. To check your core processor type,
use the Applications List (see Section 17.5.9).

• Transmitter – refers to the component that accepts process variable data from the core

processor, performs additional processing, and transmits the processed data to a remote device.
In this manual, the Model 3500 and Model 3700 devices are transmitters.

• Controller – refers to the Model 3300 and Model 3350 devices. Controllers receive processed

data from a transmitter such as an IFT9701, use these data in an application that is installed on
the device, and send the results to a remote device. Controllers are not connected to a sensor or
core processor.

4.4 Using the function buttons

The buttons at the bottom of the display are the function buttons. The functions performed by the
buttons vary, depending on the screen and the current state of the application. The function currently
assigned to the button is always displayed on the screen, above the button. The buttons are sometimes
referred to as F1, F2, and F3. See Figure 4-6.

Note: The left and right cursor control buttons may also be used as function buttons. See Figure 4-6.

If a cursor is shown on the display, the action performed by the function button applies to the item
where the cursor is located. Before pressing a function button, be sure the cursor is located correctly.

5.3 Security

Security can be used for the following three functions:

• To control access to the Management menu

• To write-protect the Series 3000 device configuration

• To control how process totalizers and inventories can be reset

Note: If custody transfer is implemented, the write-protection and totalizer reset control functions are
handled by the custody transfer application, and are not available here. See Chapter 14.

Note: If custody transfer (OIML) is implemented, you can also define an alarm log password to
control access to the active alarm log, the alarm event log, and alarm history. See Chapter 14.

5.3.1 Management menu access

Access to the Management menu can be controlled by two passwords:

• The configuration password enables access to all Management menus

• The maintenance password enables access to the Maintenance portion of the Management
menu system

When the Security button is pressed (see Section 4.3.1):

• If security is enabled, you will be prompted to enter a password. Depending on the password
you enter, either the Management menu or the Maintenance menu is displayed.

• If security is disabled, the Management menu is displayed immediately.

The configured passwords are stored even if security is disabled, so you can re-enable them at any
time.

It is not possible to activate only the configuration password or only the maintenance password.

6.3.1 Alarm severity

Alarms are organized into four categories. Within each category, alarms are classified into three levels
of severity. The severity level controls device behavior when the alarm condition occurs. See
Tabl e 6 -2 .

Severity level Device action

Fault If this condition occurs, an alarm will be generated and all outputs go to their configured

Informational If this condition occurs, an alarm will be generated but output levels are not affected.

Ignore If this condition occurs, no alarm will be generated (no entry is added to the active alarm

fault levels. See Chapter 8.

log).

Some alarms can be reclassified. For example:

• The default severity level for Alarm A020 (cal. factors missing) is Fault, but you can
reconfigure it to either Informational or Ignore.

• The default severity level for Alarm A102 (drive over-range) is Informational, but you can
reconfigure it to either Ignore or Fault.

If an alarm can be reclassified, the

CHG function is assigned to the F1 button. If an alarm cannot be

reclassified, the F1 button is unassigned. The alarm listings in Section 22.7 also provide information

Variable Default Description

Enable core processor Yes If set to No:

• The platform will not use input signals from the sensor to measure flow,
density, or temperature.

• The platform will not produce the following alarms: warming up, cal in
progress, drive overrange, temperature overrange, temperature failure,
sensor failure, transmitter failure, density overrange, density failure, mass
flow overrange, volume overrange, calibration failure, calibration complete,
calibration aborted, RTD failure, charize required, slug flow, slug timeout

Mass flow and volume flow parameters

Mass flow and volume flow parameters are listed and defined in Table 7-2. Note that you can
configure the transmitter to measure either liquid volume flow or gas standard volume flow,
depending on the setting of Volume Flow Type.

Details about the Flow Direction parameter are provided in Table 7-3. Units for mass flow and
volume flow parameters are listed in Tables 7-4 through 7-6. Special units for mass and volume are
defined and described in the section entitled Special units later in this chapter.

Gas standard volume flow and standard density

If you set Volume Flow Type to Gas Standard Volume, you must enter the standard density of the gas
you are going to measure (i.e., the density of the gas at reference conditions):

• If you know the standard density, you can enter that value in the Standard Gas Density field.
For optimal measurement accuracy, be sure the standard density you enter is correct and fluid
composition is stable.

• If you do not know the standard density of the gas, and you can connect to the Series 3000
device using ProLink II, you can use the Gas Wizard.

Special units

If you need to use a non-standard unit of measure, you can create one special measurement unit for
mass flow, one special measurement unit for liquid volume flow, and one special measurement unit
for standard gas volume flow.

Note: If you create a special measurement unit for liquid volume flow and another for gas standard
volume flow, the Series 3000 will store both definitions. However, only one is available at a time.

Special measurement units consist of:

• Base unit – a combination of:

- Base mass or base volume unit – a measurement unit that the transmitter already

recognizes (e.g., kg, m

3

)

- Base time unit – a unit of time that the transmitter already recognizes (e.g., seconds, days)

• Conversion factor – the number by which the base unit will be divided to convert to the special

• Milliamp outputs have an additional damping parameter. See Section 8.4.4.

Damping

A damping value is a period of time, in seconds, over which the process variable value will change to
reflect 63% of the change in the actual process. Damping helps the transmitter smooth out small,
rapid measurement fluctuations:

• A high damping value makes the output appear to be smoother because the output must change
slowly.

• A low damping value makes the output appear to be more erratic because the output changes
more quickly.

You can change the damping values for flow (mass and volume), density, and temperature.

When configuring damping values, note the following:

• Liquid volume flow is derived from mass and density measurements; therefore, any damping
applied to mass flow and density will affect liquid volume measurement.

• Gas standard volume flow is derived from mass flow measurement, but not from density
measurement. Therefore, only damping applied to mass flow will affect gas standard volume
measurement.

• You can also configure damping specifically for the milliamp outputs (see Section 8.4.4
damping is configured for flow, density, or temperature, the same process variable is assigned
to a milliamp output, and added damping is also configured for the milliamp output, the effect
of damping the process variable is calculated first, and the added damping calculation is
applied to the result of that calculation.

Be sure to set damping values accordingly.

When you specify a new damping value, it is automatically rounded down to the nearest valid
damping value. Flow, density, and temperature have different valid damping values.

Valid damping values are listed in Table 7-11.

Note: This section is not applicable to the Model 3300 or Model 3350 controller.

Sensor calibration data describe the sensor’s sensitivity to flow, density, and temperature. The term
“characterization” is frequently used to refer to the process of configuring the transmitter with this
information. The characterization procedure depends on whether or not the transmitter is currently
attached to a sensor, and if it is, the sensor type:

T- Se ri es or Other.

• If a sensor is currently attached, the transmitter will automatically display the appropriate
calibration parameters for the sensor type.

• If no sensor is currently attached, you must select

See Figure 7-1 for a list of the sensor calibration parameters required for your sensor.

Preconfigured calibration data

If the core processor and sensor in your Series 3000 system were ordered together, then the flowmeter
has already been characterized. You need to characterize the flowmeter only if the core processor and
sensor are being paired together for the first time.

Calibration data on sensor tags

The characterization parameters are provided on the sensor tag. The format of the sensor tag varies
depending on your sensor’s date of purchase. See Figures 7-5 and 7-6 for illustrations of newer and

These parameters allow you to describe the signal used by the discrete inputs. You can configure each
discrete input separately. Discrete input options are listed and defined in Table 7-16. See
Section 7.3.5, Section 11.7, and Chapter 15 for a discussion of the different actions that can be
triggered by a discrete input.

Configuring Inputs

7.6 Configuring the external inputs

External input parameters are used to configure polling. Polling is used to retrieve temperature or
pressure data from an external device over a HART/Bell 202 connection. You may poll for either
temperature or pressure, or both.

Note: Pressure compensation and external temperature are optional. Configure pressure
compensation only if your sensor is subject to pressure effect and if the operating pressure is
significantly different from calibration pressure. External temperature compensation is used to
provide an external temperature value for the petroleum measurement application or the enhanced
density application. If you have core processor v2.1 or earlier, the external temperature data is used
for all calculations that require temperature values. If you have core processor v2.2 or later, the
external temperature data is used only for calculation of the derived variable in enhanced density
applications or the CTL (Correction for Temperature on volume of Liquids) value in petroleum
measurement applications. To determine your core processor version, use the Applications List from
the View menu (see Section 17.5.9).

Note: If you poll for temperature or pressure, ensure that the external measurement device is accurate
and reliable.

To set up polling, you must configure the external input parameters and you must also ensure that the
primary milliamp output has been wired for HART protocol (see Section 3.4). The external input
parameters are listed and defined in Table 7-17.

Configuring System Data Configuring APIConfiguring InputsConfiguring Security & Language

Variable Default Description

Polling control Do not poll You can configure polling control for an external temperature device, an

external pressure device, or both:

• Do not poll – polling will not occur.

• Poll as primary – The Series 3000 device will poll the external HART device
as a primary master. Choose this option if the external device will probably
be accessed by another device acting as a secondary master (e.g., a HART
Communicator).

• Poll as secondary – The Series 3000 device will poll the external HART

8.3 Configuring the discrete outputs

You can configure one, two, or three discrete outputs. For each discrete output, you will configure:

• Polarity

• Assignment

• Fault indication

Discrete outputs can be connected to factory-supplied or user-supplied relays. For relay installation
instructions, see Appendix D. For specifications of the Model 3100 relay supplied by Micro Motion,
see Appendix C.

8.3.1 Polarity

The discrete outputs generate two voltage levels to represent ON or OFF states. The voltage levels
depend on the output’s polarity, as shown in Table 8-1

. Figure 8-2 shows a diagram of a typical

discrete output circuit.

Table 8 -1 Discrete output polarity

Configuring Outputs

CAUTION

8.3.2 Source variable assignment

The ON/OFF states of the discrete output are controlled by the discrete input, discrete event, or
process condition assigned to the discrete output as a source variable. See Table 8-2.

When the discrete batch application is installed, one or more of the discrete outputs must be used to
control the pump, primary valve, or secondary valve. See the following section entitled Discrete batch
requirements.

If “batch in progress” is assigned to a discrete output, connecting the output
to a system pump can cause batch overrun or a deadhead pump.

To avoid batch overrun or a deadhead pump, do not connect a discrete output to a
pump if “batch in progress” is assigned to the output.

Flow switch

Flow switch is used to indicate that the flow rate of the flow switch source (e.g., mass flow, liquid
volume flow) has dropped below the flow switch setpoint.

Configuring Batch Configuring Process MonitorConfiguring OutputsConfiguring Events

The flow switch source specifies the flow variable that will be monitored. Any flow variable,
including gas standard volume flow and petroleum measurement or enhanced density flow variables,
can be assigned as the flow switch source.

The flow switch has a user-configurable hysteresis. Hysteresis defines a range around the setpoint
within which the flow switch will not change. The default hysteresis value is 5%. The valid range is

0.1% to 10%. At startup, the flow switch is OFF.

For example, if the flow switch setpoint is 100 g/sec and the first reading is below 95 g/sec, the flow
switch turns ON and will stay ON until the flow rate rises above 105 g/sec. At this point it turns OFF,
and will stay off until the flow rate drops below 95 g/sec.

Note: It is possible to assign flow switch to more than one discrete output, but they will all use the
same setpoint and hysteresis.

Discrete batch requirements

If discrete batching is enabled, there are specific requirements for discrete output assignment:

• If 1-stage operation is specified, one discrete output must be assigned to either Batch Pump or
Primary Valve.

• If 2-stage operation is specified:

- One discrete output must be assigned to Primary Valve.

- One discrete output must be assigned to Secondary Valve.

- One discrete output may optionally be assigned to Batch Pump.

8.3.3 Fault indication

The Fault Indication parameter specifies the state of the discrete output if a fault occurs. Options for
Fault Indication are shown in Table 8-4.

Note: The Fault Indication parameter is designed to put the discrete output in a safe state during a
fault condition, and not to indicate that a fault condition is present. If you want to use the discrete
output to indicate faults, assign Fault Condition to the discrete output as described in Section 8.3.2,
and set Fault Indication to None. If you do this, the logical state of the discrete output will be ON
whenever a fault condition is active, and OFF otherwise.

8.4 Configuring the milliamp outputs

Configuring milliamp outputs includes the following procedures:

• Specifying the milliamp output to be configured

• Configuring fault indication

• Assigning a process variable to the output

• Configuring the calibration span

• Fault: DO is OFF (0 V)

• No fault: DO is controlled by its assignment

• Fault: DO is ON (site-specific voltage)

• No fault: DO is controlled by its assignment

8.4.1 Milliamp output

Select Milliamp Output 1 or Milliamp Output 2.

8.4.2 Fault indication

To configure fault indication, you must specify:

• Condition

• Setting (only if Condition is set to Upscale or Downscale)

• Last Measured Value Timeout

The Condition parameter specifies the fault indication, or the state of the milliamp output if a fault
occurs. Options for Condition are shown in Table 8-4.

Using Internal zero or None may hamper identification of fault outputs.

To make sure fault outputs can be identified, select Downscale or Upscale.

If Upscale or Downscale is specified, you must also configure the fault indication Setting. Setting
ranges and defaults are shown in Table 8-4.

66 Micro Motion® Series 3000 MVD Transmitters and Controllers

Configuring Outputs

CAUTION

By default, the Series 3000 device immediately reports a fault when a fault is encountered. You can
delay reporting faults by changing the fault timeout. Last Measured Value Timeout specifies the time,
in seconds, that the milliamp output will report its last valid measurement after a fault condition has
been detected. After the timeout has expired, the milliamp output will report its configured fault
condition.

For the selected milliamp output, select a process variable. The milliamp output level will vary
according to the value of this process variable, within the limits defined by the calibration span
parameters (see the following section).

Configuring Batch Configuring Process MonitorConfiguring OutputsConfiguring Events

Changing the process variable assignment without verifying the milliamp
output range can produce process error.

When the process variable assignment is changed, the milliamp output range
parameters will be changed automatically. The new output range may or may not
be appropriate for the process. To avoid causing process error, always verify the
milliamp output range parameters (LRV and URV) after changing the process
variable assignment. See Section 8.4.4

Configuring Outputs

Note: Beginning with rev7.0 of the transmitter software, if the LRV and URV are changed from the
defaults, and the milliamp output source is later changed, the LRV and URV will not be reset to their
default values. For example, if mass flow is assigned to the milliamp output, and the LRV and URV
for mass flow are changed, then density is assigned to the milliamp output, and finally mass flow is
reassigned to the milliamp output, the LRV and URV for mass flow are reset to the configured values.
In earlier versions of the transmitter software, the LRV and URV were reset to factory default values.

Multiple cutoffs

Cutoffs can be configured for the mA output and also for the mass flow and volume flow process
variables. If mass flow or volume flow has been assigned to an mA output, a non-zero value is
configured for the flow cutoff (see Section 7.3), and the mA output’s Low Flow Cutoff is also
configured, the cutoff occurs at the highest setting, as shown in the following examples.

Example

Example

Configuration:

• Primary mA output: Mass flow

• Frequency output: Mass flow

• AO cutoff for primary mA output: 10 g/sec

• Mass flow cutoff: 15 g/sec

As a result, if the mass flow rate drops below 15 g/sec, all outputs
representing mass flow will report zero flow.

Configuration:

• Primary mA output: Mass flow

• Frequency output: Mass flow

• AO cutoff for primary mA output: 15 g/sec

• Mass flow cutoff: 10 g/sec

As a result:

• If the mass flow rate drops below 15 g/sec but not below 10 g/sec:

- The primary mA output will report zero flow.

- The frequency output will report nonzero flow.

• If the mass flow rate drops below 10 g/sec, both outputs will report
zero flow.

See Section 7.3 for information on the mass flow, volume flow, and density cutoffs.

Multiple damping parameters

Damping can be configured for the mA output and also for the mass flow, volume flow, density, and
temperature process variables. If damping has been configured for the process variable assigned to an
mA output (see Section 7.3), and a non-zero value is configured for Damping Seconds for the same
mA output, the effect of damping the process variable is calculated first, and the Damping Seconds
calculation is applied to the result of that calculation. See the following example.

• At frequencies above the crossover frequency, the output changes to a 50% duty cycle.

The crossover frequency is calculated as follows:

You can change the setting for Maximum Pulse Width so that the Series 3000 device will output a
pulse width appropriate to your receiving device:

Configuring Batch Configuring Process MonitorConfiguring OutputsConfiguring Events

Note: For typical applications, the default pulse width is used.

Example

Note: If you are using the Freq = Flow output scale method, and you set Maximum Pulse Width to a
non-zero value, Micro Motion recommends setting the frequency factor to a value below 200 Hz. See
Section 8.5.1. If you are using the Pulses/unit or Units/pulse output scale method, Maximum Pulse
Width must be set to a value that allows crossover to occur.

• High-frequency counters such as frequency-to-voltage converters, frequency-to-current
converters, and Micro Motion peripherals usually require approximately a 50% duty cycle.

• Electromechanical counters and PLCs that have low-scan cycle rates generally use an input
with a fixed non-zero state duration and a varying zero state duration. Most low-frequency
counters have a specified requirement for Maximum Pulse Width.

The frequency output is wired to a PLC with a specified pulse width
requirement of 50 ms. The crossover frequency is 10 Hz.

Solution:

• Set Maximum Pulse Width to 50 ms.

• For frequencies less than 10 Hz, the frequency output will have a
50 msec ON state, and the OFF state will be adjusted as required.
For frequencies higher than 10 Hz, the frequency output will be a
square wave with a 50% duty cycle.

9.1 About this chapter

This chapter explains how to configure the petroleum measurement application (API feature). The
petroleum measurement parameters include all the software parameters listed in Figure 9-1.

Note: The petroleum measurement application is an optional feature of the Series 3000 platform, and
may not be installed on your equipment. To verify that it is installed, use the View menu to list all
installed applications (see Section 17.5).

Failure to perform configuration tasks in the proper sequence could result in an incomplete
configuration. See Section 1.7 for the recommended configuration sequence.

9.3 About petroleum measurement

The petroleum measurement application enables Correction of Temperature on volume of Liquids, or
CTL. In other words, some applications that measure liquid volume flow or liquid density are
particularly sensitive to temperature factors, and must comply with American Petroleum Institute
(API) standards for measurement.

The petroleum measurement parameters determine the values that will be used in API-related
calculations. The petroleum measurement parameters are available only if the petroleum measurement
application is installed on your Series 3000 device.

9.3.1 Definitions

The following terms and definitions are used in this chapter:

• API – American Petroleum Institute

• CTL – Correction for Temperature on volume of Liquids. The CTL value is used to calculate

the VCF value

• TEC – Thermal Expansion Coefficient

• VCF – Volume Correction Factor. The correction factor to be applied to volume process

variables. VCF can be calculated after CTL is derived

9.3.2 CTL derivation methods

There are two derivation methods for CTL:

• Method 1 is based on observed density and observed temperature.

• Method 2 is based on a user-supplied reference density (or thermal expansion coefficient, in
some cases) and observed temperature.

The choice of reference table determines the derivation method to be used, as discussed in
Section 9.4.1.

9.4 Configuring petroleum measurement parameters

The petroleum measurement parameters are listed and defined in Table 9-1.

9.4.1 Reference tables

Reference tables are organized by reference temperature, CTL derivation method, liquid type, and
density unit. The table selected here controls all the remaining options.

• Reference temperature:

- If you specify a 5x, 6x, 23x, or 24x table, the default reference temperature is 60

cannot be changed.

- If you specify a 53x or 54x table, the default reference temperature is 15 °C. However, you

can change the reference temperature, as recommended in some locations (for example, to

14.0 or 14.5 °C).

• CTL derivation method:

- If you specify an odd-numbered table (5, 23, or 53), CTL will be derived using Method 1
(described in Section 9.3.2).

- If you specify an even-numbered table (6, 24, or 54), CTL will be derived using Method 2
(described in Section 9.3.2).

• The letters A, B, C, or D that are used to terminate table names define the type of liquid that the

table is designed for:

- A tables are used with generalized crude and JP4 applications.

- B tables are used with generalized products.

- C tables are used with liquids with a constant base density or known thermal expansion
coefficient.

- D tables are used with lubricating oils.

10.3 About discrete events

A discrete event occurs if the real-time value of a user-specified process variable varies beyond a
user-specified value.

Discrete events are used to perform specific actions on the Series 3000 platform. For example, the
discrete event can be defined to activate a discrete output if the flow rate is outside a specified range.

Note: In rev7.0 of the Series 3000 firmware, discrete events are available on all Series 3000 devices.
In previous firmware versions, discrete events were available only on the Model 3500 and
Model 3700 transmitters; they were not available on the Model 3300 and Model 3350 controllers.

11.3 Batching configuration overview

To configure batching, the following general steps are required:

1. From the Discrete Batch menu:

a. Configure flow source.

b. Configure control options.

c. Configure one or more presets (optional).

d. Configure batch control methods, if desired.

84 Micro Motion® Series 3000 MVD Transmitters and Controllers

Configuring the Discrete Batch Application

2. From the Discrete Outputs menu, configuring the required discrete outputs:

• For 1-stage operation, you must configure one discrete output. This output must control
either the pump or the primary valve, as appropriate to your application. This discrete
output is required.

• For 2-stage operation, you must configure two or three discrete outputs:

- One to control the primary valve (required)

- One to control the secondary valve (required)

- One to control the pump (optional; only if required by your installation)

You must configure the discrete outputs that are listed as required, whether or not your
installation requires them (for example, you may start and stop the pump manually). You will
not be able to start a batch until the required discrete outputs have been configured. See
Section 8.3 for information on configuring the discrete outputs.

3. If you enabled the Batch AOC control option, you should perform batch AOC (automatic
overshoot compensation) calibration. Batch AOC is used to minimize the amount of overshoot
per batch. See Section 18.6 for information on performing batch AOC calibration.

4. You may optionally configure the batch ticket and ticket printing. See Chapter 15 for
information on configuring tickets and ticket printing.

11.4 Flow source

The flow source specifies the flow variable that will be used for batch measurement. Select one of the
flow sources defined in Table 11-1.

Note: If the discrete batch application will be used for custody transfer measurement, ensure that the
transfer variable is configured as the batch flow source. See Chapter 14 for more information.

11.5.1 One-stage versus two-stage batching

If No. of Stages is set to

1, a single pump or valve is used to control the batch. (You can assign both a

pump and a valve if desired, although only one is necessary.) When the batch is started, the pump
starts or the valve opens; at the configured target, the pump stops or the valve closes. Open Primary,
Open Secondary, and Close Primary values are not required when configuring the preset (see
Section 11.6).

If No. of Stages is set to

2, two valves are used to control the batch, and the following requirements

apply when configuring the preset:

• Both Open Primary and Open Secondary must be configured.

• Either Open Primary or Open Secondary must be set to

0. Both may be set to 0 if desired.

• Close Primary must be configured.

11.6 Configure presets

You can configure up to six batch presets. Preset 1 cannot be disabled, but you can change its
