1.2 Considerations
1.2.1 General
Electrical temperature sensors such as RTDs and thermocouples produce low-level signals proportional
to their sensed temperature. The Rosemount 644 converts the low-level sensor signal to a standard
4–20 mA dc, or digital F
electrical noise. This signal is then transmitted to the control room via two wires.
OUNDATION Fieldbus signal that is relatively insensitive to lead length and
1.2.2 Commissioning
The transmitter can be commissioned before or after installation. It may be useful to commission it on
the bench, before installation, to ensure proper operation and to become familiar with its functionality.
Make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe, FISCO, or
non-incendive field wiring practices.

1.2.3 Mechanical
Location
When choosing an installation location and position, take into account the need for access to the
transmitter.
Special mounting
Special mounting hardware is available for mounting a Rosemount 644 head mount transmitter to a DIN
rail or assembling a new Rosemount 644 head mount to an existing threaded sensor connection head
(former option code L1).
1.2.4 Electrical
Proper electrical installation is necessary to prevent errors due to sensor lead resistance and electrical
noise. For best results, shielded cable should be used in electrically noisy environments.
Make wiring connections through the cable entry in the side of the connection head. Be sure to provide
adequate clearance for cover removal.
Reference Manual
00809-0400-4728, Rev CA
1.2.5 Environmental
The transmitter electronics module is permanently sealed within the housing, resisting moisture and
corrosive damage. Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the
appropriate hazardous locations certifications.
Temperature effects
The transmitter will operate within specifications for ambient temperatures between –40 and 185 °F
(–40 and 85 °C). Heat from the process is transferred from the thermowell to the transmitter housing. If
the expected process temperature is near or beyond specification limits, consider the use of additional
thermowell lagging, and extension nipple, or a remote mounting configuration to isolate the transmitter
from the process.
Figure 1-1 provides an example of the relationship between transmitter housing temperature rise and
extension length.

Introduction
Reference Manual
00809-0400-4728, Rev CA
Example
The transmitter specification limit is 85 °C. If the ambient temperature is 55 °C and the process
temperature to be measured is 800 °C, the maximum permissible connection head temperature rise is
the transmitter specification limit minus the ambient temperature (moves 85 to 55 °C), or 30 °C.
In this case, an extension of 100 mm meets this requirement, but 125 mm provides a margin of 8 °C,
thereby reducing any temperature effects in the transmitter.

2.3 General block information
2.3.1 Device description
Before configuring the device, ensure the host has the appropriate Device Description file revision for
this device. The device descriptor can be found on Emerson.com/Rosemount
Rosemount 644 with F
2.3.2 Node address
The transmitter is shipped at a temporary (248) address. This will enable FOUNDATION Fieldbus host
systems to automatically recognize the device and move it to a permanent address.
2.3.3 Modes
The resource, transducer, and all function blocks in the device have modes of operation. These modes
govern the operation of the block. Every block supports both automatic (AUTO) and out of service (OOS)
modes. Other modes may also be supported.
Changing modes
OUNDATION Fieldbus is device revision 1.
Reference Manual
00809-0400-4728, Rev CA
. The initial release of the
To change the operating mode, set the MODE_BLK.TARGET to the desired mode. After a short delay, the
parameter MODE_BLOCK.ACTUAL should reflect the mode change if the block is operating properly.
Permitted modes
It is possible to prevent unauthorized changes to the operating mode of a block. To do this, configure
MODE_BLOCK.PERMITTED to allow only the desired operating modes. It is recommended to always
select OOS as one of the permitted modes.
Types of modes
For the procedures described in this manual, it will be helpful to understand the following modes:
AUTO
The functions performed by the block will execute. If the block has any outputs, these will continue to
update. This is typically the normal operating mode.
Out of service (OOS)
The functions performed by the block will not execute. If the block has any outputs, these will typically
not update and the status of any values passed to downstream blocks will be “BAD.” To make some
changes to the configuration of the block, change the mode of the block to OOS. When the changes are
complete, change the mode back to AUTO.
MAN
In this mode, variables that are passed out of the block can be manually set for testing or override
purposes.
Other types of modes
Other types of modes are Cas, RCas, ROut, IMan, and LO. Some of these may be supported by different
function blocks in the 644. For more information, see the Function Block Reference Manual

2.3.4 Link Active Scheduler (LAS)
The Rosemount 644 can be designated to act as the backup LAS in the event that the designated LAS is
disconnected from the segment. As the backup LAS, the Rosemount 644 will take over the management
of communications until the host is restored.
The host system may provide a configuration tool specifically designed to designate a particular device
as a backup LAS. Otherwise, this can be configured manually as follows:
1. Access the Management Information Base (MIB) for the Rosemount 644.
To activate the LAS capability, write 0x02 to the BOOT_OPERAT_FUNCTIONAL_CLASS object
(Index 605). To deactivate, write 0x01.
Configuration

2. Restart the device.
2.3.5 Block installation
Rosemount devices are pre-configured with function blocks at the factory, the default permanent
configuration for the Rosemount 644 is listed below. The Rosemount 644 can have up to 10 additional
instantiated function blocks.
Two AI blocks (tag names AI 1300, AI 1400)
One proportional/integral/derivative block (tag name PID 1500)
The Rosemount 644 supports the use of function block Instantiation. When a device supports block
instantiation, the number of blocks and block types can be defined to match specific application
needs.The number of blocks that can be instantiated is only limited by the amount of memory within the
device and the block types that are supported by the device. Instantiation does not apply to standard
device blocks like the resource, sensor transducer, LCD transducer, and advanced diagnostics blocks.
By reading the parameter “FREE_SPACE” in the Resource block you can determine how many blocks you
can instantiate. Each block that you instantiate takes up 4.5 percent of the “FREE_SPACE.”
Block instantiation is done by the host control system or configuration tool, but not all hosts are required
to implement this functionality. Please refer to your specific host or configuration tool manual for more
information.

induced switching transients. However, high-energy transients, such as those induced in wiring from
nearby lightning strikes, welding, heavy electrical equipment, or switching gears, can damage both the
transmitter and the sensor. To protect against high-energy transients, install the transmitter into a
suitable connection head with the integral transient protector, option T1. Refer to the Rosemount 644
Product Data Sheet for more information.

FEATURES and FEATURES_SEL
Configuration
September 2018
The parameters FEATURES and FEATURE_SEL determine optional behavior of the Rosemount 644.
FEATURES
The FEATURES parameter is read only and defines which features are supported by the Rosemount 644.
Below is a list of the FEATURES the Rosemount 644 supports.
UNICODE
All configurable string variables in the Rosemount 644, except tag names, are octet strings. Either ASCII
or Unicode may be used. If the configuration device is generating Unicode octet strings, you must set the
Unicode option bit.
REPORTS
The Rosemount 644 supports alert reports. The Reports option bit must be set in the features bit string
to use this feature. If it is not set, the host must poll for alerts.
SOFT W LOCK
Inputs to the security and write lock functions include the software write lock bits of the FEATURE_SEL
parameter, the WRITE_LOCK parameter, and the DEFINE_WRITE_LOCK parameter.
The WRITE_LOCK parameter prevents modification of parameters within the device except to clear the
WRITE_LOCK parameter. During this time, the block will function normally updating inputs and outputs
and executing algorithms. When the WRITE_LOCK condition is cleared, a WRITE_ALM alert is generated
with a priority that corresponds to the WRITE_PRI parameter.
Config uration
The FEATURE_SEL parameter enables the user to select the software write lock or no write lock
capability. In order to enable the software write lock, the SOFT_W_LOCK bit must be set in the
FEATURE_SEL parameter. Once this bit is set, the WRITE_LOCK parameter may be set to “Locked” or
“Unlocked.” Once the WRITE_LOCK parameter is set to “Locked” by the software, all user requested
writes as determined by the DEFINE_WRITE_LOCK parameter shall be rejected.

Reference Manual
00809-0400-4728, Rev CA
The DEFINE_WRITE_LOCK parameter allows the user to configure whether the write lock function will
control writing to all blocks, or only to the resource and transducer blocks. Internally updated data such
as process variables and diagnostics will not be restricted.
N/A = No blocks are blocked
Physical = Locks resource and transducer block
Everything = Locks every block.
The following table displays all possible configurations of the WRITE_LOCK parameter.

FEATURES_SEL
FEATURES_SEL is used to turn on any of the supported features. The default setting of the Rosemount
644 does not select any of these features. Choose one of the supported features if any.
MAX_NOTIFY
The MAX_NOTIFY parameter value is the maximum number of alert reports that the resource can have
sent without getting a confirmation, corresponding to the amount of buffer space available for alert
messages. The number can be set lower, to control alert flooding, by adjusting the LIM_NOTIFY
parameter value. If LIM_NOTIFY is set to zero, then no alerts are reported.
Plantweb™ Alerts
The alerts and recommended actions should be used in conjunction with “Operation and maintenance”
on page 19.
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 HEALTH_INDEX parameters (0–100) indicating the overall health of the transmitter.
FAILED_ALARM will have the highest priority followed by MAINT_ALARM and ADVISE_ALARM will be the
lowest priority.

2.4.2 Sensor transducer block
Note
When the engineering units of the XD_SCALE are selected, the engineering units in the Transducer Block
change to the same units. This is the only way to change the engineering units in the sensor transducer
block.
Damping
The damping parameter in the Transducer Block may be used to filter measurement noise. By increasing
the damping time, the transmitter will have a slower response time, but will decrease the amount of
process noise that is translated to the transducer block primary value. Because both the LCD display and
AI block get input from the transducer block, adjusting the damping parameter will effect both blocks.
Note
The AI block has it's own filtering parameter called PV_FTIME. For simplicity, it is better to do filtering in
the transducer block as damping will be applied to primary value on every sensor update. If filtering is
done in AI block, damping will be applied to output every macrocycle. The LCD display will display value
from transducer block.

2.4.3 Analog Input function block
Configure the AI block
A minimum of four parameters are required to configure the AI block. the parameters are described
below with example configurations shown at the end of this section.
CHANNEL
Select the channel that corresponds to the desired sensor measurement. The Rosemount 644 measures
both sensor temperature (channel 1) and terminal temperature (channel 2).
L_TYPE
The L_TYPE parameter defines the relationship of the sensor measurement (sensor temperature) to the
desired output temperature of the AI Block. The relationship can be direct or indirect.
Direct
Select direct when the desired output will be the same as the sensor measurement (sensor
temperature).
Reference Manual
00809-0400-4728, Rev CA
Indirect
Select indirect when the desired output is a calculated measurement based on the sensor measurement
(e.g. ohm or mV). The relationship between the sensor measurement and the calculated measurement
will be linear.
XD_SCALE and OUT_SCALE
The XD_SCALE and OUT_SCALE each include four parameters: 0%, 100%, engineering units, and
precision (decimal point). Set these based on the L_TYPE:
L_TYPE is Direct
When the desired output is the measured variable, set the XD_SCALE to represent the operating range of
the process. Set OUT_SCALE to match XD_SCALE.
L_TYPE is Indirect
When an inferred measurement is made based on the sensor measurement, set the XD_SCALE to
represent the operating range that the sensor will see in the process. Determine the inferred
measurement values that correspond to the XD_SCALE 0 and 100% points and set these for the
OUT_SCALE.
Note
To avoid configuration errors, only select Engineering Units for XD_SCALE and OUT_SCALE that are
supported by the device. The supported units are:
