OVERVIEW
TransmitterThe Rosemount 848T is optimal for process temperature measurement
because of its ability to simultaneously measure eight separate and
independent temperature points with one transmitter. Multiple temperature
sensor types may be connected to each 848T transmitter. In addition, the
848T can accept 4-20 mA inputs. The enhanced measurement capability of
the 848T allows it to communicate these variables to any F
fieldbus host or configuration tool.

WIRINGIf the sensor is installed in a high-volt age environ ment and a fault conditio n or
installation error occurs, the sensor leads and transm itte r te rm in als co uld
carry lethal voltages. Use extreme caution when making contact with the
leads and terminals.
NOTE
Do not apply high voltage (e.g. AC line voltage) to the transmitter terminals.
Abnormally high voltage can damage the unit (bus terminal s are rate d to 4 2.4
VDC).
Figure 2-3. 848T Transmitter
Field Wiring
* Intrinsically safe installations may allow fewer devices per I.S. barrier
ConnectionsThe 848T transmitter is compatible with 2 or 3-wire RTD, thermocouple, Oh m,
and millivolt sensor types. Figure 2-4 shows the correct input connections to
the sensor terminals on the transmitter . The 848T can also accept inputs from
analog devices using the optional analog input connector. Figure 2-5 shows
the correct input connections to the analog input connector when installed on
the transmitter. Tighten the terminal screws to ensure proper connection.

RTD or Ohm Inputs
V ario us R TD configur ations, including 2-wire an d 3-wir e are used in industrial
applications. If the transmitter is mounted remotely from a 3-wire RTD, it will
operate within specifications, without recalibration, for lead wire resist ances of
up to 60 ohms per lead (equivalent to 6,000 feet of 20 AWG wire). If using a
2-wire RTD, both RTD leads are in series with the sensor element, so errors
can occur if the lead lengths exceed one foot of 20 AWG wire. Compensation
for this error is provided when using 3-wire RTDs.
Thermocouple or Millivolt Inputs
Use appropriate thermocouple extension wire to connect the thermocouple to
the transmitter. Make connections for millivolt inputs using copper wire. Use
shielding for long runs of wire.
Analog Inputs
The analog connector converts the 4–20 mA signal to a 20–100 mV signal
that can be read by the 848T and transmitted using F
Use the following steps when installing the 848T with the analog connector:
1. The 848T, when ordered with option code S002, comes with four analog
connectors. Replace the standard connector with the analog connector
on the desired channels.
2. Wire one or two analog transmitters to the analo g connector according to
Figure 2-5. There is space available on the analog connector label for
identification of the analog inputs.
OUNDATION fieldbus.
NOTE
Power supply should be rated to support the connected transmitter(s).
3. If the analog transmitters can communicate using HART protocol, the
analog connectors are supplied with the ability to switch in a 250 ohm
resistor for HART communication (see Figure 2-6).
One switch is supplied for each input (top switch for “A” inputs and
bottom switch for “B” inputs). Setting the switch in the “ON” position (to
the right) bypasses the 250 ohm resistor. Terminals are provided for each
analog input to connect a Field Communicator for local configuration.

Power SupplyConnections
The transmitter requires between 9 and 32 VDC to operate and provide
complete functionality. The DC power supply should provide power with less
than 2% ripple. A fieldbus segment requires a power conditioner to isolate the
power supply filter and decouple the segment from other segments attached
to the same power supply.
All power to the transmitter is supplied over the signal wiring. Signal wiring
should be shielded, twisted pair for best results in electrically noisy
environments. Do not use unshielded signal wiring in open trays with power
wiring or near heavy electrical equipment.
Use ordinary copper wire of sufficient size to ensure that the voltage across the
transmitter power terminals does not go below 9 VDC. The power terminals are
polarity insensitive. To power the transmitter:
1.Connect the power leads to the terminals marked “Bus,” as shown in
Figure 2-7.
2.Tighten the terminal screws to ensure adequate contact. No
additional power wiring is necessary.

Surges/TransientsThe transmitter will withstand electrical transients encountered through static
discharges or induced switching transients. However, a transient protection
option (option code T1) is available to protect the 848T against high-energy
transients. The device must be properly grounded using the ground terminal
(see Figure 2-7).

grounding options recommended by the facility for the specific sensor type or
begin with grounding option 1 (most common).
Ungrounded Thermocouple, mV, and RTD/Ohm Inputs
Option 1:
1.Connect signal wiring shield to the sensor wiring shield(s).
2.Ensure the shields are tied together and electrically isolated from the
transmitter enclosure.
3.Only ground shield at the power supply end.
4.Ensure that the sensor shield(s) is electrically isolated from the
surrounding grounded fixtures.

TAGGINGCommissioning Tag
The 848T has been supplied with a removable commissioning tag that
contains both the Device ID (the unique code that identifies a p articular device
in the absence of a device tag) and a space to record the device tag (the
operational identification for the device as defined by the Piping and
Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID)).
When commissioning more than one device on a fieldbus segment, it can be
difficult to identify which device is at a particular location. The removable tag,
provided with the transmitter, can aid in this process by linking the Device ID
to its physical location. The installer should note the physical location of the
transmitter on both the upper and lower location of the commissioning tag.
The bottom portion should be torn off for each device on the segment and
used for commissioning the segment in the control system.

Out of Service (OOS)
The block is not processing its tasks. When the resource block is in OOS,
all blocks within the resource (device) are forced into OOS. The
BLOCK_ERR parameter shows Out of Service. In this mode, changes can
be made to all configurable parameters. The tar get mode of a block may
be restricted to one or more of the supported modes.
Alarm Detection
A block alarm will be generated whenever the BLOCK_ERR has an error bit
set. The types of block error for the resource block are defined above . A write
alarm is generated whenever the WRITE_LOCK parameter is cleared. The
priority of the write alarm is set in the following parameter:
•WRITE_PRI
Number Description
0The priority of an alarm condition changes to 0 after the condition that caused the
alarm is corrected.
1An alarm condition with a priority of 1 is recognized by the system, but is not
reported to the operator.
2An alarm condition with a priority of 2 is reported to the operator, but does not
require operator attention (such as diagnostics and system alerts).
3-7Alarm conditions of priority 3 to 7 are advisory alarms of increasing priority.
8-15Alarm conditions of priority 8 to 15 are critical alarms of increasing priority.
Status Handling
There are no status parameters associated with the resource block.
PlantWeb™ AlertsThe alerts and recommended actions should be used in conjunction with
“Operation and Maintenance” on page 4-1.
The Resource Block will act as a coordinator for PlantWeb alerts. There will
be three alarm parameters (FAILED_ALARM, MAINT_ALARM, and
ADVISE_ALARM) which will contain information regarding some of the device
errors which are detected by the transmitter software. There will be a
RECOMMENDED_ACTION parameter which will be used to display the
recommended action text for the highest priority alarm and a HEAL TH_INDEX

The 848T supports multiple sensor inputs. Each input has a channel assigned
to it allowing an AI or MAI Function Blocks to be linked to that input. The
channels for the 848T are as follows:
The following conditions are reported in the BLOCK_ERR and XD_ERROR
parameters.

Transducer Block Modes
The transducer block supports two modes of operation as defined by the
MODE_BLK parameter:
Automatic (Auto)
The block outputs reflect the analog input measurement.
Out of Service (OOS)
The block is not processed. Channel outputs are not updated and the
status is set to Bad: Out of Service for each channel. The BLOCK_ERR
parameter shows Out of Service . In this mode, chang es can be made to a ll
configurable parameters. The target mode of a block may be restricted to
one or more of the supported modes.

Transducer Block Alarm Detection
Alarms are not generated by the transducer block. By correctly handling the
status of the channel values, the down stream block (AI or MAI) will generate
the necessary alarms for the measurement. The error that generated this
alarm can be determined by looking at BLOCK-ERR and XD_ERROR.
Transducer Block Status Handling
Normally, the status of the output channels reflect the status of the
measurement value, the operating condition of the measurement electronics
card, and any active alarm conditions. In a transducer, PV reflects the value
and status quality of the output channels.

Commissioning
(Addressing)
To be able to setup, configure, and have it commu nicate with other devices on
a segment, a device must be assigned a permanent address. Unless
requested otherwise, it is assigned a temporary address when shipped from
the factory.
If there are two or more devices on a segment with the same address, the first
device to start up will use the assigned addre ss (ex. Address 20 ). Each of the
other devices will be given one of the four available temporary addresses. If a
temporary address is not available, the device will be unavailable until a
temporary address becomes available.
Use the host system documentation to commission a device and assign a
permanent address.

HARDWARE
MAINTENANCE
The 848T has no moving parts and require s a minimal amount of scheduled
maintenance. If a malfunction is suspected, check for an external cause
before performing the diagnostics presented below.
Sensor CheckT o determine whether the sensor is causing the malfunction, connect a sensor
calibrator or simulator locally at the transmitter. Consult an Emerson Process
Management representative for additional temperature sensor and accessory
assistance.
Communication/Power
Check
Resetting the
Configuration
(RESTART)
If the transmitter does not communicate or provides an erratic output, check
for adequate voltage to the transmitter. The transmitter requires between 9.0
and 32.0 VDC at the terminals to operate with complete functionality. Check
for wire shorts, open circuits, and multiple grounds.
There are two types of restart s available in the Resource Block. The following
section outlines the usage for each of these. For further information, see
RESTART in Table 3-2 on page 3-6.
Restart Processor (cycling)
Performing a Restart Processor has the same ef fect as removing p ower from
the device and reapplying power.
Restart with Defaults
Performing a Restart with Defaults resets the static parameters for all of the
blocks to their initial state. This is commonly used to change the configur ation
and/or control strategy of the device, including any custom configurations
done at the Rosemount factory.

Transient Protection
The transient protector (option code T1) helps to prevent damage to the
transmitter from transients induced on the loop wiring by lightning, welding,
heavy electrical equipment, or switch gears. This option is installed at the
factory for the Rosemount 848T and is not intended for field installation.
Update Time
Approximately 1.5 seconds to read all 8 inputs.
Humidity Limits
0–99% non-condensing relative humidity
Turn-on Time
Performance within specifications is achieved in less than 30 seconds after
power is applied to the transmitter.
Alarms
The AI and ISEL function blocks allow the user to configure the alarms to
HI-HI, HI, LO, or LO-LO with a variety of priority levels and hystere sis settings.
Backup Link Active Scheduler (LAS)
The transmitter is classified as a device link master, which means it can
function as a Link Active Scheduler (LAS) if the current link master device fails
or is removed from the segment.
The host or other configuration tool is used to download the schedule for the
application to the link master device. In the absence of a primary link master,
the transmitter will claim the LAS and provide permanent control for the H1
segment.
The Rosemount 848T can be mounted directly onto a DIN rail or it can be
ordered with an optional junction box. When using the optional junction box,
the transmitter can be mounted onto a p an el or a 2- in. pi pe stand (with option
code B6).

FUNCTION BLOCKS
Analog Input (AI)
• Processes the measurement and makes it available on the
fieldbus segment.
• Allows filtering, alarming, and engineering unit changes.
Input Selector (ISEL)
• Used to select between inputs and generate an output using specific
selection strategies such as minimum, maximum, midpoint, or average
temperature.
• Since the temperature value always contains the measurement status, this
block allows the selection to be restricted to the first “good” measurement.
Multiple Analog Input Block (MAI)
• The MAI block allows the eight AI blocks to be multiplexed together so
they serve as one function block on the H1 segment, resulting in greater
network efficiency.
PERFORMANCE
SPECIFICATIONS
Stability
• ±0.1% of reading or 0.1 °C (0.18 °F), whichever is greater, for 2 years
for RTDs
• ±0.1% of reading or 0.1 °C (0.18 °F), whichever is greater, for 1 year for
thermocouples.
Self Calibration
The transmitter’s analog-to-digital circuitry automatically self-calibrates for
each temperature update by comparing the dynamic measurement to
extremely stable and accurate internal reference elements.
Vibration Effect
Transmitters are tested to high pipeline vibration specification per IEC
60770-1 1999 with no effect on performance.
Electromagnetic Compatibility Compliance Testing
• Meets the criteria under IEC 61326:2006

OVERVIEWFOUNDATION fieldbus is an all-digital, serial, two-way, multidrop
communication protocol that interconnects devices such as transmitters,
sensors, actuators, and valve controllers. Fieldbus is a Local Area Network
(LAN) for instruments that are used in both process and manufacturing
automation, having the built-in capability to distribute the control applications
across the network. The fieldbus environment is the base level group of digit al
networks and the hierarchy of plant networks.
The F
OUNDATION fieldbus retains the desirable features of the 4–20 mA
analog system, including standardized physical interface to the wire,
bus-powered devices on a single pair of wires, and intrinsic safety options. It
also enables the following capabilities:
•Increased capabilities due to full digital communication.
•Reduced wiring and wire terminations due to multiple devices on one
pair of wires.
•Increased supplier selection due to interoperability
•Reduced loading on control room equipment due to the distribution of
some control and input/output functions to field devices.
F
OUNDATION fieldbus devices work together to provide I/O and control for
automated processes and operations. The Fieldbus F
framework for describing these systems as a collection of physical devices
interconnected by a fieldbus network. One of the ways that the physical
devices are used is to perform their portion of the total system operation by
implementing one or more function blocks.
OUNDATION provides a
FUNCTION BLOCKSFunction blocks perform process control functions, such as analog input (AI)
and analog output (AO) functions as well as proportional-integral-derivative
(PID) functions. The standard function blocks provide a common structure for
defining function block inputs, outputs, control parameters, events, alarms,
and modes, and combining them into a process that can be implemented
within a single device or over the fieldbus network. This simplifies the
identification of characteristics that are common to function blocks.

The Fieldbus FOUNDATION has established the function blocks by defining a
small set of parameters used in all function blocks called universal
parameters. The F
block classes, such as input, output, control, and calculation blocks. Each of
these classes has a small set of parameters established for it. They have also
published definitions for transducer blocks commonly used with standard
function blocks. Examples include temperature, pressure, level, and flow
transducer blocks.
The F
OUNDATION specifications and definitions allow vendors to add their own
parameters by importing and subclassing specified classes. This approach
permits extending function block definitions as new requirements are
discovered and as technology advances.
Figure C-1 illustrates the internal structure of a function block. When
execution begins, input parameter va lues from other blocks are snappe d-in by
the block. The input snap process ensures that these values do not change
during the block execution. New values received for these parameters do not
affect the snapped values and will not be used by the function block during
the current execution.
OUNDATION has also defined a standard set of function
Figure C-1. Function
Block Internal Structure
Once the inputs are snapped, the algorithm operates on them, generating
outputs as it progresses. Algorithm executions are controlled through the
setting of contained parameters. Contained parameters are internal to
function blocks and do not appear as normal input and output parameters.
However, they may be accessed and modified remotely, as specified by the
function block.
Input events may affect the operation of the algorith m. An execution control
function regulates the receipt of input events and the generation of output
events during execution of the algorithm. Upon completion of the algorithm,
the data internal to the block is saved for use in the next execution, and the
output data is snapped, releasing it for use by other function blocks.
C-2
A block is a tagged logical processing unit. The tag is the name of the block.
System management services locate a block by its tag. Thus the service
personnel need only know the tag of the block to access or change the
appropriate block parameters.
Function blocks are also capable of performing sho rt-term dat a collection an d
storage for reviewing their behavior.

DEVICE DESCRIPTIONSDevice Descriptio ns (D D) ar e specified tool definitions that are associated
with the Resource and Transducer Blocks. Device descriptions provide the
definition and description of the function blocks and their parameters.
To promote consistency of definition and understanding, descriptive
information, such as data type and length, is maintained in the device
description. Device Descriptions are written using an open language called
the Device Description Language (DDL). Param e te r tra ns fe rs between
function blocks can be easily verified because all parameters are described
using the same language. Once written, the device description can be stored
on an external medium, such as a CD-ROM or diskette. Users can then read
the device description from the external me diu m . Th e us e of an op en
language in the device description permits interoperability of function blocks
within devices from various vendors. Additionally, human interface devices,
such as operator consoles and computers, do not have to be programmed
specifically for each type of device on the bus. Instead their displays and
interactions with devices are driven from the device descriptions.
Device descriptions may also include a set of processing routines called
methods. Methods provide a procedure for accessing and manipulating
parameters within a device.
BLOCK OPERATIONIn addition to function blocks, fieldbus devices contain two other block types
to support the function blocks. These are the resource block and the
transducer block.
Instrument- Specific
Function Blocks
Resource Blocks
Resource blocks contain the hardware–specific characteristics associated
with a device; they have no input or output parameter s. The algorithm within a
resource block monitors and controls the general operation of the physical
device hardware. The execution of this algorithm is dependent on the
characteristics of the physical device, as defi ne d by the m anuf acturer. As a
result, the algorithm may cause the generation of events. There is only one
resource block defined for a device. For example, when the mode of a
resource block is “Out of Service (OOS),” it impacts all of the other blocks.
Transducer Blocks
Transducer blocks connect function blocks to local input/output functions.
They read sensor hardware and write to effector (actuator) hardware. This
permits the transducer block to execute as frequently as necessary to obtain
good data from sensors and ensure proper writes to the actuator without
burdening the function blocks that use the data. The transducer block also
isolates the function block from the vendor–specific characteristics of the
physical I/O.
AlertsWhen an alert occurs, execution control sends an event notification and waits
a specified period of time for an acknowledgment to be received. This occurs
even if the condition that caused the alert no longer exists. If the
acknowledgment is not received within the pre-specified time-out period, the
event notification is retransmitted, assuring that alert messages are not lost.

Two types of alerts are defined for the block: events and alarms. Events are
used to report a status change when a block leaves a p articular state, su ch as
when a parameter crosses a threshold. Alarms not only report a status
change when a block leaves a particular state, but also report when it returns
back to that state.

COMMUNICATION
Figure C-2. Simple, Single-Link
Fieldbus Network
Link Active Scheduler
(LAS)
Figure C-2 illustrates a simple fieldbus network consisting
of a single segment (link).
All links have one Link Active Scheduler (LAS). The LAS operates as the bus
arbiter for the link. The LAS does the following:
•recognizes and adds new devices to the link.
•removes non-responsive devices from the link.
•distributes Data Link Time (DL) and Link Scheduling Time (LS) on the
link. DL is a network-wide time periodically distributed by the LAS to
synchronize all device clocks on the bus. LS time is a link-specific time
represented as an offset from DL. It is used to indicate when the LAS
on each link begins and repeats its schedule. It is used by system
management to synchronize function block execution with the data
transfers scheduled by the LAS.
•polls devices for process loop data at scheduled transmission times.
•distributes a priority-driven token to devices between
scheduled transmissions.
C-4
Any device on the link may become the LAS. The devices that are capable of
becoming the LAS are called Link Master devices (LM). All other devices are
referred to as basic devices. When a segment first starts up, or upon failure of
the existing LAS, the link master devices on the segment bid to become the
LAS. The link master that wins the bid begins operating as the LAS
immediately upon completion of the bidding process. Link masters that do not
become the LAS act as basic devices. However, the link masters can act as
LAS backups by monitoring the link for failure of the LAS and then bidding to
become the LAS when a LAS failure is detected.
Only one device can communicate at a time. Permission to communicate on
the bus is controlled by a centralized token passed between devices by the
LAS. Only the device with the token can communicate. The LAS maintains a
list of all devices that need access to the bus. This list is called the “Live List.”
Two types of tokens are used by the LAS. A time-critical token, Compel Data
(CD), is sent by the LAS according to a schedule. A non-time critical token,
pass token (PT), is sent by the LAS to each device in ascending numerical
order according to address.

Rosemount 848T
There may be many LM devices on a segment but only the LAS is actively
controlling communication traffic. The remaining LM devices on the segment
are in a stand-by state, ready to take over if the primary LAS fails. This is
achieved by constantly monitoring the communication traffic on the bus and
determining if activity is not present. Since there can be multiple LM devices
on the segment when the primary LAS fails, the device with the lowest node
address will become the primary LAS and take control of the bus. Using this
strategy, multiple LAS failures can be handled with no loss of the LAS
capability of the communications bus.
LAS Parameters
There are many bus communication parameters but on ly a few are used. For
standard RS-232 communications, the configuration p arameters are baud
rate, start / stop bits, and parity. The key parameters for H1 F
fieldbus are as follows.
•Slot Time (ST) – Used during the bus master el ection process. It is the
maximum amount of time permitted for device A to send a message to
device B. Slot time is a parameter which defines a worst case delay
which includes internal delay in the sending device and the receiving
device. Increasing the value of ST slows down bus traffic because a
LAS device must wait longer prior to determining that the LM is down.
•Minimum Inter-PDU Delay (MID) – The minimum gap between two
messages on the fieldbus segment or it is the amount of time between
the last byte of one message and the first byte of the next message.
The units of the MID are octets. An octet is 256 s, hence the units for
MID are approximately
1
/4 ms. This would mean an MID of 16 would
specify approximately a minimum of 4 ms between messages on the
Fieldbus. Increasing the value of MID slows down bus traf fic because a
larger “gap” between messages occurs.
•Maximum Response (MRD) – Defines the maximum amount of time
permitted to respond to an immediate response request, e.g. CD, PT.
When a published value is requested using the CD command, the MRD
defines how long before the device publishes the data. Increasing this
parameter will slow down the bus traffic by decreasing how fast CDs
can be put onto the network. The MRD is measured in units of ST.
•Time Synchronization Class (TSC) – A variable that de fines how long
the device can estimate its time before drifting out of specific limits. The
LM will periodically send out time update messages to synchronize
devices on the segment. Decreasing the parameter number increases
the number of times that time distribution messages must be published,
increasing bus traffic and overhead for the LM device. See Figure C-3.

Backup LAS
A LM device is one that has the ability to control the communications on the
bus. The LAS is the LM capable device that is currently in control of the bus.
While there can be many LM devices acting as backups, there can only be
one LAS. The LAS is typically a host system but for stand-alone applicatio ns,
a device may be providing the role of primary LAS.
October 2011
AddressingTo setup, configure, and communicate with other devices on a segment, a
device must be assigned a permanent address. Unless requested otherwise,
it is assigned a temporary address when shipped from the factory.
F
OUNDATION fieldbus uses addresses between 0 and 255. Addresses 0
through 15 are reserved for group addressing and for use by the data link
layer.
If there are two or more devices on a segment with the same address, the first
device to start up will use the assigned address. Each of the other devices will
be given one of the four temporary addresses. If a temporary address is not
available, the device will be unavailable until a temporary address is available.
Use the host system documentation to commission a device and assign a
permanent address.
Scheduled TransfersInformation is transferred between devices over the FOUNDATION fieldbus
using three different types of reporting.
Publisher/Subscriber
This type of reporting is used to transfer critical process loop data, such as the
process variable. The data producers (publishers) post the dat a in a buffer
that is transmitted to the subscriber, when the publisher receives the Compel
Data (CD). The buffer contains only one copy of the data. New data
completely overwrites previous data. Updates to published data are
transferred simultaneously to all subscribers in a single broadcast. Transfers
of this type can be scheduled on a precisely periodic basis.
Report Distribution
This type of reporting is used to broadcast and multicast event and trend
reports. The destination address may be predefined so that all reports are
sent to the same address, or it may be provided separately with each report.
Transfers of this type are queued. They are delivered to the receivers in the
order transmitted, although there may be gaps due to corrupted transfers.
These transfers are unscheduled and occur between scheduled transfer s at a
given priority.
Client/Server
This type of reporting is used for request/response exchanges between pairs
of devices. Like Report Distribution reporting, the transfers are queued,
unscheduled, and prioritized. Queued means the messages are sent and
received in the order submitted for transmission, according to their priority,
without overwriting previous messages. However, unlike Report Distribution,
these transfers are flow controlled and employ a retransmission procedure to
recover from corrupted transfers.

Transfer
Rosemount 848T
Figure C-4 diagrams the method of scheduled data transfer. Scheduled data
transfers are typically used for the regular cyclic transfer of process loop data
between devices on the fieldbus. Scheduled transfers use publisher/
subscriber type of reporting for data transfer. The LAS maintains a list of
transmit times for all publishers in all devices that need to be cyclically
transmitted. When it is time for a device to publish data, the LAS issues a CD
message to the device. Upon receipt of the CD, the device broadcasts or
“publishes” the data to all devices on the fieldbus. Any device that is
configured to receive the data is called a “subscriber.”

messages until it has finished or until the “maximum token hold time” has
expired, whichever is the shorter time. The message may be sent to a single
destination or to multiple destinations.

Figure C-6. Example Link
Schedule Showing Scheduled
and Unscheduled
Communication
Figure C-6 shows an example of a link schedule. A single iteration of the
link-wide schedule is called the macrocycle. When the system is configured
and the function blocks are linked, a master link-wide schedule is created for
the LAS. Each device maintains its portion of the link-wide schedule, known
as the Function Block Schedule. The Function Block Schedule indicates when
the function blocks for the device are to be executed. The scheduled
execution time for each function block is represented as an offset from the
beginning of the macrocycle start time.
C-8
To support synchronization of schedules, periodically Link Scheduling (LS)
time is distributed. The beginning of the macrocycle represents a common
starting time for all Function Block schedules on a link and for the LAS
link-wide schedule. This permits function block executions and their
corresponding data transfers to be synchronized in time.
The Analog Input (AI) function block processes field device measurements
and makes them available to other function blocks. The output value from the
AI block is in engineering units and contains a status indicating the quality of
the measurement. The measuring device may have several measurements or
derived values available in different channels. Use the chann el number to
define the variable that the AI block processes.
The AI block supports alarming, signal scaling, signal filtering, signal status
calculation, mode control, and simulation. In Automatic mode, the block’s
output parameter (OUT) reflects the process variable (PV) value and status.
In Manual mode, OUT may be set manually. The Manual mode is reflected on
Out = The block output value and status
Out_D = Discrete output that signals a

the output status. A discrete output (OUT_D) is prov ided to indicate whether a
selected alarm condition is active. Alarm detection is based on the OUT value
and user specified alarm limits. The block execution time is 30 ms.

FunctionalitySimulation
To support testing, either change the mode of the block to manual and adjust
the output value, or enable simulation through the configuration tool and
manually enter a value for the measurement value and its status. In
simulation, the ENABLE jumper must be set on the field device.
NOTE
All F
OUNDATION fieldbus instruments have a simulation jumper. As a safety
measure, the jumper has to be reset every time there is a power interruption.
This measure is to prevent devices that went through simulation in the staging
process from being installed with simulation enabled.
Figure D-1. Analog Input
Function Block Timing Diagram
With simulation enabled, the actual measurement value has no impact on the
OUT value or the status.
OUT = Block output value and status
OUT_D = Discrete output that signals a selected alarm condition
Filtering
The filtering feature changes the response time of the device to smooth
variations in output readings caused by rapid changes in input. Adjust the
filter time constant (in seconds) using the PV_FTIME parameter. Set the filter
time constant to zero to disable the filter feature.
Signal Conversion
Set the signal conversion type with the Linearization Type (L_TYPE)
parameter. View the converted signal (in percent of XD_SCALE) through the
FIELD_VAL parameter.
Choose from direct, indirect, or indirect square root signal conversion with the
L_TYPE parameter.
Direct
Direct signal conversion allows the signal to pass through the accessed
channel input value (or the simulated value when simulation is enabled).
Indirect
D-4
Indirect signal conversion converts the signal linearly to the accessed channel
input value (or the simulated value when simulation is enabled) from its
specified range (XD_SCALE) to the range an d un its of the PV and OUT
parameters (OUT_SCALE).

Indirect Square Root
Indirect Square Root signal conversion takes the square root of the value
computed with the indirect signal conversion and scales it to the range and
units of the PV and OUT parameters.
When the converted input value is below the limit specified by the LOW_CUT
parameter, and the Low Cutoff I/O option (IO_OPTS) is enabled (True), a
value of zero is used for the converted value (PV). This optio n eliminates false
readings when the differential pressure measurement is close to zero and it
may be useful with zero-based measurement devices such as flowmeters.
NOTE
Low Cutoff is the only I/O option supported by the AI block. Set the I/ O option
when the block is OOS.

Modes
The AI Function Block supports three modes of operation as defined by the
MODE_BLK parameter:
Manual (Man)
The value of the block output (OUT) may be set manually
Automatic (Auto)
OUT reflects the analog input measurement or the simulated value when
simulation is enabled.
Out of Service (OOS)
The block is not processed. FIELD_VAL and PV are not updated and the
OUT status is set to Bad: Out of Service. The BLOCK_ERR parameter
shows Out of Service. In this mode, changes can be made to all
configurable parameters.
Alarm Detection
A block alarm will be generated whenever the BLOCK_ERR has an error bit
set. The types of block error for the AI block are defined above.
Table D-3. Alarm Priority Levels
Process Alarm detection is based on the OUT value. Configure the alarm
limits of the following standard alarms:
•High (HI_LIM)
•High high (HI_HI_LIM)
•Low (LO_LIM)
•Low low (LO_LO_LIM)
To avoid alarm chatter when the variable is oscillating around the alarm limit,
an alarm hysteresis in percent of the PV span can be set using the
ALARM_HYS parameter. The priority of each alarm is set in the following
parameters:
•HI_PRI
•HI_HI_PRI
•LO_PRI
•LO_LO_PRI
Number Description
0The priority of an alarm condition changes to 0 after the condition that caused the
alarm is corrected.
1An alarm condition with a priority of 1 is recognized by the system, but is not
reported to the operator.
2An alarm condition with a priority of 2 is reported to the operator, but does not
require operator attention (such as diagnostics and system alerts).
3-7Alarm conditions of priority 3 to 7 are advisory alarms of increasing priority.
8-15Alarm conditions of priority 8 to 15 are critical alarms of increasing priority.

Status Handling
Normally, the status of the PV reflects the status of the measurement value,
the operating condition of the I/O card, and any active alarm condition. In Auto
mode, OUT reflects the value and status quality of the PV. In Man mode, the
OUT status constant limit is set to indicate that th e value is a const ant and the
OUT status is Good.
If the sensor limit exceeds the high or low range, PV status is set high or low
and EU range status is set to uncertain.
In the STATUS_OPTS parameter, select from the following options to control
the status handling:
BAD if Limited
Sets the OUT status quality to Bad when the value is higher or lower than
the sensor limits.
Uncertain if Limited
Sets the OUT status quality to Uncertain when the value is hig her or lower
than the sensor limits.
Uncertain if in Manual mode
The status of the Output is set to Uncertain when the mode is set to
Manual
NOTES
1. The instrument must be in OOS mode to set the status option.
2. The AI block only supports the BAD if Limited option, uncertain if limited,
and uncertain if manual.
Advanced Features
The AI function block provided with Rosemount fieldbus devices provides
added capability through the addition of the following parameters:
ALARM_TYPE
Allows one or more of the process alarm conditions detected by the AI
function block to be used in setting its OUT_D parameter.
OUT_D
Discrete output of the AI function block based on the detection of process
alarm condition(s). This parameter may be linked to other function blocks
that require a discrete input based on the detected alarm condition.
STD_DEV and CAP_STDDEV
Diagnostic parameters that can be used to determine the variability of the
process.

Application Information
The configuration of the AI function block and its associated output channels
depends on the specific application. A typical configuration for the AI block
involves the following parameters:
CHANNEL
The device supports more than one measurement, so verify that the
selected channel contains the appropriate measureme nt or derived value.
Refer to Table 3-5 on page 3-11 for a listing of available channels on the
848T.
L_TYPE
Select Direct when the measurement is in the desired engineering units
for the block output. Select Indirect when converting the measured
variable into another, for example, pressure into level or flow into energy.
SCALING
XD_SCALE provides the range and units of the measurement and
OUT_SCALE provides the range and engineering units of the output.
OUT_SCALE is only used when in indirect or indirect square root.

MULTIPLE ANALOG
INPUT (MAI) FUNCTION
BLOCK
The Multiple Analog Input (MAI) function block has the ability to process up to
eight field device measurements and make them available to other function
blocks. The output values from the MAI block are in engineering units and
contain a status indicating the quality of the measurement. The measuring
device may have several measurements or derived values available in
different channels. Use the channel numbers to define the variables that the
MAI block processes.
The MAI block supports signal scaling, signal filtering, signal status
calculation, mode control, and simulation. In Automatic mode, the block’s
output parameters (OUT_1 to OUT_8) reflects the process variable (PV)
values and status. In Manual mode, OUT may be set manually. The Manual
mode is reflected on the output status. Table D-4 lists the MAI block
parameters and their unit s of measur e, d escription s, and indexnumbers. The
block execution time is 30 ms.
