1.4PROFIBUS-PA functionality
The transmitter supports the following methods of configuration and operation:
•Configuration methods:
-Device description (EDD) for use with a PROFIBUS configuration tool such as Siemens
Simatic
®
Process Device Manager (PDM). In this manual, the term “EDD” is used to refer
to this type of configuration.
-Direct read and write of PROFIBUS-PA bus parameters.
•Operation methods:
-GSD file with a PROFIBUS host. The transmitter supports two GSD options—
Profile-specific, which is created by PNO, and Manufacturer-specific, which is created by
by Micro Motion in order to implement a larger set of function blocks. See Section 2.5 for
more information about the two GSD options.
In this manual, the term “host” or “PROFIBUS host” is used to refer to this type of
operation.
-Device description (EDD) with PROFIBUS configuration tool (e.g., Simatic PDM). The
EDD provides a superset of the operational functionality of the GSD, plus configuration
capability.
•Identification and maintenance (I&M) functions:
®
-I&M 0
-I&M 1
-I&M 2
-PA I&M 0
The transmitter supports both classic and condensed status byte formats.
•Classic mode conforms to the PROFIBUS-PA Profile v3.01, Section 3.7.3.6.
•Condensed mode conforms to the PROFIBUS-PA Specification June 2005 Amendment 2 to
the PROFIBUS Profile v3.01, Condensed Status and Diagnostic Messages v1.0.
1.5Determining version information
Table 1-1 lists the version information you may need to know and describes how to obtain the
information. This manual assumes transmitter firmware v3.2 or a later version and ProLink v2.92
with the Build 9827 patch or a later version.
Note: The hardware for transmitters with v2.0 and lower firmware is incompatible with the hardware
needed to support v3.0 and later firmware. To upgrade from an earlier firmware version to v3.0 or
higher firmware requires hardware replacement.

Startup
2.1Overview
This chapter describes the procedures you should perform the first time you start the flowmeter. You
do not need to use these procedures every time you cycle power to the flowmeter.
The procedures in this section will enable you to:
•Apply power to the flowmeter (Section 2.2)
•Set the node address (Section 2.3)
•Configure the AI block channels (Section 2.4)
•Set the I/O mode of the transmitter (Section 2.5)
•Optional: Configure temperature compensation (Section 2.8)
Note: All procedures provided in this chapter assume that you have established communication with
the transmitter and that you are complying with all applicable safety requirements. See Appendix C or
the documentation for your PROFIBUS host or configuration tool.
2.2Applying power
Before you apply power to the flowmeter, close and tighten all housing covers.
Operating the flowmeter without covers in place creates electrical hazards that can cause death, injury,
or property damage. Make sure all covers are in place before applying power to the transmitter.
Turn on the electrical power at the power supply. The flowmeter will automatically perform
diagnostic routines. If the transmitter has a display, the status LED will turn green and begin to flash
when the transmitter has finished its startup diagnostics.
Note: If this is the initial startup, or if power has been off long enough to allow components to reach
ambient temperature, the flowmeter is ready to receive process fluid approximately one minute after
power-up. However, it may take up to ten minutes for the electronics in the flowmeter to reach thermal
equilibrium. During this warm-up period, you may observe minor measurement instability or
inaccuracy.

2.3Setting the node address
The factory default setting for the node address is 126. To set the node address:
•With a PROFIBUS host, use the change address function of the host.
2.4Configuring the analog input function block channels
You can set each of the transmitter’s AI function blocks to measure one transducer block channel. The
AI blocks are set at the factory to a default setting that is adequate for most applications, but you can
change the assignment of the AI blocks to meet special needs.
The default channel configuration for each block is shown in Table 2-1.

2.5Setting the I/O mode
The transmitter can function in two different I/O modes: Profile-specific and Manufacturer-specific.
The factory default is Manufacturer-specific. The two modes control which function blocks are
available for use, and whether the format of the status byte is “classic” or “condensed.” (See
Appendix D for more information on the format of the status byte.)
•In Profile-specific mode, the transmitter has the use of three AI blocks and one totalizer block.
The status byte output format defaults to classic mode.
•In Manufacturer-specific mode, the transmitter has the use of four AI blocks, four totalizer
blocks, and two AO blocks. The status byte output format defaults to condensed mode.
Refer to Table 2-3 for the slot identifications and blocks permitted by each mode. You must select
modules exactly as described in Table 2-3, or select an empty module for slots that you do not intend
to use. If any modules are left unconfigured, the transmitter will not send data.
•With the EDD or bus parameters, see the menu flowcharts in Figure 2-2.
•With the display, choose
Figure 2-2Setting the I/O mode
There are two GSD files that correspond to the two I/O modes. If you are using a PROFIBUS host
with GSD files to operate the transmitter, you must use the GSD that corresponds to the I/O mode you
have chosen. Table 2-4 lists the GSD file names. Load the correct GSD file into your PROFIBUS host
or configuration tool.

2.5.1Overriding the status byte format
Each I/O mode has a default status byte format – classic or condensed. To override this default:
•With the GSD, set the Condensed Status parameterization bit to either 1 (for condensed status)
or 0 (for classic status).
•With the EDD or bus parameters, use the menu flowcharts in Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3Status byte format
2.6Configuring the totalizer block mode
The behavior of the four totalizer function blocks can be configured in two ways:
•Standard, which provides standard PROFIBUS totalizer function block behavior.
In this mode, the totalizer block will integrate whatever data it receives. The Out value of a
totalizer in this mode has no relationship to the totalizer data reported by the transducer block,
ProLink II, or the display.
•Any of the values in Table 2-5, which cause the totalizer function block to pass through the
specified totalizer value from the transducer block.
Micro Motion recommends using one of these modes, because the totalizer block output will
be more accurate and will match readings taken with ProLink II and the display.
To configure the totalizer block mode:

2.7Configuring pressure compensation
Due to process pressure change away from calibration pressure, there can be a change in sensor flow
and density sensitivity. This change is called pressure effect. Pressure compensation corrects for these
changes.
Not all sensors and applications require pressure compensation. Contact Micro Motion Customer
Service before you configure pressure compensation.
Configuring pressure compensation requires three steps:
There are three values involved in pressure compensation:
•Flow factor – The flow factor is the percent change in flow rate per psi. Consult the product
data sheet for your sensor for this value. You will need to reverse the sign of the flow factor.
For example, if the flow factor in the product data sheet is –0.001% per psi, the pressure
compensation flow factor would be +0.001% per psi.
•Density factor – The density factor is the change in fluid density, in g/cm
product data sheet for your sensor for this value. You will need to reverse the sign of the
density factor. For example, if the density factor in the product data sheet is –0.00004 g/cm
per psi, the pressure compensation flow factor would be +0.00004 g/cm
•Flow calibration pressure – The pressure at which the flowmeter was calibrated. Refer to the
calibration document shipped with your sensor. If the data is unavailable, use 20 psi (1,4 bar).

2.7.3Configuring a pressure source
You will need to choose one of two sources for pressure data:
•Analog Output function block – This option allows you to poll for pressure data from an
external pressure source.
•Fixed pressure data – This option uses a known, constant pressure value.
Note: If you configure a fixed pressure value, ensure that it is accurate. If you configure polling for
pressure, ensure that the external pressure measurement device is accurate and reliable.
If you configure pressure compensation to use an AO block for pressure compensation, the other AO
block remains available for temperature compensation. However, only one of the AO blocks can be
set up for external pressure.
To configure fixed pressure data, refer to the menu flowcharts in Figure 2-5.
To configure an AO function block for pressure compensation:
•With the EDD, refer to the flowchart in Figure 2-6.
•With bus parameters, refer to the flowchart in Figure 2-7.
•With the display, refer to the menu flowcharts in Figure B-15.

2.8Configuring temperature compensation
External temperature compensation can be used with the petroleum measurement application or the
enhanced density application:
•If external temperature compensation is enabled, an external temperature value (or a fixed
temperature value), rather than the temperature value from the Coriolis sensor, is used in
petroleum measurement or enhanced density calculations only. The temperature value from
the Coriolis sensor is used for all other calculations.
•If external temperature compensation is disabled, the temperature value from the Coriolis
sensor is used in all calculations.
Configuring temperature compensation requires two steps:
1. Enabling external temperature compensation (Section 2.8.1)
2. Configuring a temperature source (Section 2.8.2)
2.8.1Enabling external temperature compensation

Calibration
3.1Overview
This chapter describes the following procedures:
•Characterization (Section 3.3)
•Smart Meter Verification (Section 3.4)
•Meter validation and adjusting meter factors (Section 3.5)
•Zero calibration (Section 3.6)
•Density calibration (Section 3.7)
•Temperature calibration (Section 3.8)
Note: All procedures provided in this chapter assume that you have established communication with
the transmitter and that you are complying with all applicable safety requirements. See Appendix C or
the documentation for your PROFIBUS host or configuration tool.
StartupConfigurationCalibrationBefore You Begin
3.2Characterization, Smart Meter Verification, meter validation, and calibration
There are four procedures:
•Characterization – adjusts the transmitter to compensate for the unique traits of the sensor
with which it is paired
•Smart Meter Verification – establishing confidence in the sensor’s performance by analyzing
secondary variables that are highly correlated with flow and density calibration factors
•Meter validation – confirming performance by comparing the sensor’s measurements to a
primary standard
•Calibration – establishing the relationship between a process variable (flow, density, or
temperature) and the signal produced by the sensor, or establishing the transmitter’s response
to a zero-flow condition.
Meter validation, characterization, and calibration are available on all Model 2700 transmitters. Smart
Meter Verification is available only if the Smart Meter Verification option was ordered with the
transmitter.
These four procedures are discussed and compared in Sections 3.2.1 through 3.2.4. Before performing
any of these procedures, review these sections to ensure that you will be performing the appropriate
procedure for your purposes.
Configuration and Use Manual19
Page 28
Calibration
3.2.1Characterization
Characterizing the flowmeter adjusts the transmitter to compensate for the unique traits of the sensor
it is paired with. Characterization parameters (sometimes called “calibration factors”) describe the
sensor’s sensitivity to flow, density, and temperature.
If the transmitter and the sensor were ordered together as a Coriolis flowmeter, then the flowmeter has
already been characterized. Under some circumstances (typically when pairing a sensor and
transmitter together for the first time), you may need to re-enter characterization data. If you are
unsure about whether you should characterize your flowmeter, contact Micro Motion Customer
Service.
3.2.2Smart Meter Verification
Smart Meter Verification evaluates the structural integrity of the sensor tubes by comparing current
tube stiffness to the stiffness measured at the factory. Stiffness is defined as the load per unit
deflection, or force divided by displacement. Because a change in structural integrity changes the
sensor’s response to mass and density, this value can be used as an indicator of measurement
performance. Changes in tube stiffness are typically caused by erosion, corrosion, or tube damage.
Smart Meter Verification does not affect measurement in any way. Micro Motion recommends
performing Smart Meter Verification at regular intervals.
3.2.3Meter validation and meter factors
Meter validation compares a measurement value reported by the transmitter with an external
measurement standard. Meter validation requires one data point.
Note: For meter validation to be useful, the external measurement standard must be more accurate
than the sensor. See the sensor’s product data sheet for its accuracy specification.
If the transmitter’s mass flow, volume flow, or density measurement is significantly different from the
external measurement standard, you may want to adjust the corresponding meter factor. A meter
factor is the value by which the transmitter multiplies the process variable value. The default meter
factors are
1.0, resulting in no difference between the data retrieved from the sensor and the data
reported externally.
Meter factors are typically used for proving the flowmeter against a Weights & Measures standard.
You may need to calculate and adjust meter factors periodically to comply with regulations.
3.2.4Calibration
The flowmeter measures process variables based on fixed points of reference. Calibration adjusts
those points of reference. Three types of calibration can be performed:
•Zero
•Density calibration
•Temperature calibration
Density and temperature calibration require two data points (low and high) and an external
measurement for each. The density and temperature calibration procedure changes the offset and/or
the slope of the line that represents the relationship between process density and the reported density
value, or the relationship between process temperature and the reported temperature value.
Note: For density or temperature calibration to be useful, the external measurements must be
accurate.
20Model 2700 Transmitter with PROFIBUS-PA
Page 29
Calibration
Zero calibration requires only that flow through the sensor is stopped.
Flowmeters are calibrated at the factory, and normally do not need to be calibrated in the field.
Calibrate the flowmeter only if you must do so to meet regulatory requirements. Contact
Micro Motion before calibrating your flowmeter.
Note: Micro Motion recommends using meter validation and meter factors, rather than calibration, to
prove the meter against a regulatory standard or to correct measurement error.
3.2.5Comparison and recommendations
When choosing among Smart Meter Verification, meter validation, and calibration, consider the
following factors:
•Process and measurement interruption
-Smart Meter Verification provides an option that allows process measurement to continue
during the test.
-Meter validation for density does not interrupt the process. However, meter validation for
mass flow or volume flow requires process down-time for the length of the test.
-Calibration requires process down-time. In addition, density and temperature calibration
require replacing the process fluid with low-density and high density fluids, or
low-temperature and high-temperature fluids. Zero calibration requires stopping flow
through the sensor.
StartupConfigurationCalibrationBefore You Begin
•External measurement requirements
-Smart Meter Verification does not require external measurements.
-Zero calibration does not require external measurements.
-Density calibration, temperature calibration, and meter validation require external
measurements. For good results, the external measurement must be highly accurate.
•Measurement adjustment
-Smart Meter Verification is an indicator of sensor condition, but does not change
flowmeter internal measurement in any way.
-Meter validation does not change flowmeter internal measurement in any way. If you
decide to adjust a meter factor as a result of a meter validation procedure, only the reported
measurement is changed—the base measurement is not changed. You can always reverse
the change by returning the meter factor to its previous value.
-Calibration changes the transmitter’s interpretation of process data, and accordingly
changes the base measurement. If you perform a zero calibration, you can return to the
factory zero (or, if using ProLink II, the previous zero). However, if you perform a density
calibration or a temperature calibration, you cannot return to the previous calibration
factors unless you have manually recorded them.
Micro Motion recommends obtaining the Smart Meter Verification transmitter option and performing
Smart Meter Verification on a regular basis.

3.3Performing a characterization
Characterizing a flowmeter involves entering parameters that are printed on the sensor tag.
3.3.1Characterization parameters
The characterization parameters that must be entered depend on the sensor type: “T-Series” or
“Other,” as listed in Table 3-1. The “Other” category includes all Micro Motion sensors except
T-Ser ies .
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 3-1 and 3-2 for illustrations of newer and
older sensor tags.

If your sensor tag does not show a D1 or D2 value:
•For D1, enter the Dens A or D1 value from the calibration certificate. This value is the
line-condition density of the low-density calibration fluid. Micro Motion uses air.
•For D2, enter the Dens B or D2 value from the calibration certificate. This value is the
line-condition density of the high-density calibration fluid. Micro Motion uses water.
If your sensor tag does not show a K1 or K2 value:
•For K1, enter the first 5 digits of the density calibration factor. In the sample tag in Figure 3-1,
this value is shown as 12500.
•For K2, enter the second 5 digits of the density calibration factor. In the sample tag in
Figure 3-1, this value is shown as 14286.
If your sensor does not show an FD value, contact Micro Motion customer service. If your sensor tag
does not show a DT or TC value, enter the last 3 digits of the density calibration factor. In the sample
tag in Figure 3-1, this value is shown as 4.44.

Flow calibration values
Two separate values are used to describe flow calibration: a 6-character FCF value (including one
decimal point) and a 4-character FT value (including one decimal point). During characterization,
these are entered as a single 10-character string that includes two decimal points. In ProLink II, this
value is called the Flowcal parameter.
To obtain the required value:
•For older T-Series sensors, concatenate the FCF value and the FT value from the sensor tag, as
shown below.
•For newer T-Series sensors, the 10-character string is represented on the sensor tag as the FCF
value. The value should be entered exactly as shown, including the decimal points. No
concatenation is required.
•For all other sensors, the 10-character string is represented on the sensor tag as the Flow Cal
value. The value should be entered exactly as shown, including the decimal points. No
concatenation is required.

3.4Performing Smart Meter Verification
Note: To use Smart Meter Verification, the transmitter must be paired with an enhanced core
processor, and the Smart Meter Verification option must be purchased for the transmitter.
3.4.1Preparing for the Smart Meter Verification test
The Smart Meter Verification procedure can be performed on any process fluid. It is not necessary to
match factory conditions.
During the test, process conditions must be stable. To maximize stability:
•Maintain a constant temperature and pressure.
•Avoid changes to fluid composition (e.g., two-phase flow, settling, etc.).
•Maintain a constant flow. For higher test certainty, stop flow.
If stability varies outside test limits, the Smart Meter Verification procedure will be aborted. Verify
the stability of the process and retry the test.
Transmitter configuration
Smart Meter Verification is not affected by any parameters configured for flow, density, or
temperature. It is not necessary to change the transmitter configuration.
Control loops and process measurement
If the transmitter outputs will be set to Last Measured Value or Fault during the test, the outputs will
be fixed for two minutes. Disable all control loops for the duration of the test, and ensure that any data
reported during this period is handled appropriately.
3.4.2Running the Smart Meter Verification test
To run a Smart Meter Verification test:
•With the EDD, refer to Figure 3-4.
•With bus parameters, refer to Figure 3-5 and to Table 3-2.
•With ProLink II, refer to Figure 3-6.
•With the display, refer to Figure B-6.

3.4.3Reading and interpreting Smart Meter Verification test results
Pass/Fail/Abort
When the Smart Meter Verification test is completed, the result will be reported as Pass, Fail/Caution
(depending on the tool you are using), or Abort:
•Pass – The test result is within the specification uncertainty limit. In other words, the stiffness
of the left and right pickoffs match the factory values plus or minus the specification
uncertainty limit. If transmitter zero and configuration match factory values, the sensor will
meet factory specifications for flow and density measurement. It is expected that meters will
pass Smart Meter Verification every time the test is run.
•Fail/Caution – The test result is not within the specification uncertainty limit. Micro Motion
recommends that you immediately repeat the Smart Meter Verification test. If you previously
set outputs to Continue Measurement, change the setting to Last Measured Value or Fault.
-If the meter passes the second test, the first Fail/Caution result can be ignored.
-If the meter fails the second test, the flow tubes may be damaged. Use your process
knowledge to determine the possibilities for damage and the appropriate actions for each.
These actions might include removing the meter from service and physically inspecting
the tubes. At minimum, you should perform a flow validation and a density calibration.
•Abort – A problem occurred with the Smart Meter Verification test (e.g., process instability).
Abort codes are listed in Table 3-3, and suggested actions are provided for each code.

Detailed test data with ProLink II
For each test, the following data is stored on the transmitter:
ProLink II stores additional descriptive information for each test in a database on the local PC,
including:
If you run a Smart Meter Verification test from ProLink II, ProLink II first checks for new test results
on the transmitter and synchronizes the local database if required. During this step, ProLink II
displays the following message:
•Powered-on seconds at the time of the test
•Test result
•Stiffness of the left and right pickoffs, shown as percentage variation from the factory value. If
the test aborted, 0 is stored for these values.
•Abort code, if applicable
•Timestamp from the PC clock

Please wait
Note: If you request an action while synchronization is in process, ProLink II displays a message
asking whether or not you want to complete synchronization. If you choose No, the ProLink II
database may not include the latest test results from the transmitter.
Test results are available at the end of each test, in the following forms:
•A test result chart (see Figure 3-7).
•A test report that includes the descriptive information for the current test, the test result chart,
and background information about Smart Meter Verification. You can export this report to an
HTML file or print it to the default printer.

Note the following:
Detailed test data with the display
For each Smart Meter Verification test, the following data is stored on the transmitter:
•The test result chart may not show all test results, and test counters may not be continuous.
ProLink II stores information about all tests initiated from ProLink II and all tests available on
the transmitter when the test database is synchronized. However, the transmitter stores only the
twenty most recent test results. To ensure a complete result set, always use ProLink II to
initiate the tests, or synchronize the ProLink II database before overwriting occurs.
•The chart uses different symbols to differentiate between tests initiated from ProLink II and
tests initiated using a different tool. A test report is available only for tests that were initiated
from ProLink II.
•You can double-click the chart to manipulate the presentation in a variety of ways (change

3.4.4Setting up automatic or remote execution of the Smart Meter Verification test
There are two ways to execute a Smart Meter Verification test automatically:
•Set up a one-time automatic execution
•Set up a recurring execution
To set up a one-time automatic execution, set up a recurring execution, view the number of hours until
the next scheduled test, or delete a schedule:
-With ProLink II, choose
-With the EDD, choose
Tools > Meter Verification > Schedule Meter Verification.
Device > Meter Verification.
-With the display, see Figure B-8.
Note the following:
•If you are setting up a one-time automatic execution, specify the start time as a number of
hours from the present time. For example, if the present time is 2:00 and you specify 3.5 hours,
the test will be initiated at 5:30.
•If you are setting up a recurring execution, specify the number of hours to elapse between
executions. The first test will be initiated when the specified number of hours has elapsed, and
testing will be repeated at the same interval until the schedule is deleted. For example, if the
present time is 2:00 and you specify 2 hours, the first test will be initiated at 4:00, the next at
6:00, and so on.
•If you delete the schedule, both the one-time execution and the recurring execution settings are
deleted.
1. Determine the meter factor(s) to use. You may set any combination of the mass flow, volume
flow, and density meter factors.
Note that all three meter factors are independent:
•The mass flow meter factor affects only the value reported for mass flow.
•The density meter factor affects only the value reported for density.
•The volume flow meter factor affects only the value reported for volume flow.
Therefore, to adjust volume flow, you must set the meter factor for volume flow. Setting a
meter factor for mass flow and a meter factor for density will not produce the desired result.
The volume flow calculations are based on original mass flow and density values, before the
corresponding meter factors have been applied.
2. Calculate the meter factor as follows:
a.Sample the process fluid and record the process variable value reported by the flowmeter.
b.Measure the sample using an external standard.
c.Calculate the new meter factor using the following formula:
StartupConfigurationCalibrationBefore You Begin
If you are calculating the volume flow meter factor, note that proving volume in the field may
be expensive, and the procedure may be hazardous for some process fluids. Therefore, because
volume is inversely proportional to density, an alternative to direct sampling and measurement
is to calculate the volume flow meter factor from the density meter factor. This method
provides partial correction by adjusting for any portion of the total offset that is caused by
density measurement offset. Use this method only when a volume flow reference is not
available, but a density reference is available. To use this method:
a.Calculate the meter factor for density, using the preceding formula.
b.Calculate the volume flow meter factor from the density meter factor, as shown below:
Note: This equation is mathematically equivalent to the equation shown below. You may use
whichever equation you prefer.
3. Ensure that the meter factor is between
0.8 and 1.2, inclusive. If the calculated meter factor is
outside these limits, contact Micro Motion customer service.

3.6Performing zero calibration
Zeroing the flowmeter establishes the flowmeter’s point of reference when there is no flow. The meter
was zeroed at the factory, and should not require a field zero. However, you may wish to perform a
field zero to meet local requirements or to confirm the factory zero.
When you zero the flowmeter, you may need to adjust the zero time parameter. Zero time is the length
of time the transmitter takes to determine its zero-flow reference point. The default zero time is
20 seconds.
•A long zero time may produce a more accurate zero reference but is more likely to result in
zero failure. This is due to the increased possibility of noisy flow, which causes incorrect
calibration.
•A short zero time is less likely to result in a zero failure but may produce a less accurate zero
reference.
For most applications, the default zero time is appropriate.
Note: Do not zero the flowmeter if a high severity alarm is active. Correct the problem, then zero the
flowmeter. You may zero the flowmeter if a low severity alarm is active.
If the transmitter is connected to an enhanced core processor, there are two recovery functions that
may be used if the zero procedure fails:
•Restore prior zero – Available only from ProLink II and only during the current zero
procedure. Once you have closed the Calibration dialog box or disconnected from the
transmitter, you can no longer restore the prior zero.
•Restore factory zero – Always available via all configuration tools.
StartupConfigurationCalibrationBefore You Begin
Note: If the flowmeter fails the zeroing procedure twice, refer to Section 6.6.
3.6.1Preparing for the zeroing procedure
To prepare for the zeroing procedure:
1. Apply power to the flowmeter. Allow the flowmeter to warm up for approximately 20 minutes.
2. Run the process fluid through the sensor until the sensor temperature reaches the normal
process operating temperature.
3. Close the shutoff valve downstream from the sensor.
4. Ensure that the sensor is completely filled with fluid and the flow through the sensor has
completely stopped.
If fluid is flowing through the sensor, the sensor zero calibration may be inaccurate, resulting in
inaccurate process measurement. To improve the sensor zero calibration and measurement accuracy,
ensure that process flow through the sensor has completely stopped.
3.6.2Zeroing procedure
To zero the flowmeter:
•With the EDD, refer to the menu flowchart in Figure 3-9.
•With bus parameters, refer to the menu flowchart in Figure 3-10.
•With ProLink II, refer to the menu flowchart in Figure 3-11.
•With the display, refer to the menu flowchart in Figure B-17.

3.7Performing density calibration
Density calibration includes the following calibration points:
•All sensors:
-D1 calibration (low-density)
-D2 calibration (high-density)
•T-Series sensors only:
-D3 calibration (optional)
-D4 calibration (optional)
For T-Series sensors, the optional D3 and D4 calibrations could improve the accuracy of the density
measurement. If you choose to perform the D3 and D4 calibrations:
•Do not perform the D1 or D2 calibrations.
•Perform the D3 calibration if you have one calibrated fluid.
•Perform both the D3 and D4 calibrations if you have two calibrated fluids (other than air
and water).
The calibrations that you choose must be performed without interruption, in the order listed here.
Configuration and Use Manual39
Page 48
Calibration
Note: Before performing the calibration, record your current calibration parameters. If you are using
ProLink II, you can do this by saving the current configuration to a file on the PC. If the calibration
fails, restore the known values.
3.7.1Preparing for density calibration
Before beginning density calibration, review the requirements in this section.
Sensor requirements
During density calibration, the sensor must be completely filled with the calibration fluid, and flow
through the sensor must be at the lowest rate allowed by your application. This is usually
accomplished by closing the shutoff valve downstream from the sensor, then filling the sensor with
the appropriate fluid.
Density calibration fluids
D1 and D2 density calibration require a D1 (low density) fluid and a D2 (high density) fluid. You may
use air and water. If you are calibrating a T-Series sensor, the D1 fluid must be air and the D2 fluid
must be water.
For T-Series sensors, the D1 calibration must be performed on air and the D2 calibration must be
performed on water.
For D3 density calibration, the D3 fluid must meet the following requirements:
•Minimum density of 0.6 g/cm
•Minimum difference of 0.1 g/cm
3
3
between the density of the D3 fluid and the density of water.
The density of the D3 fluid may be either greater or less than the density of water.
For D4 density calibration, the D4 fluid must meet the following requirements:
•Minimum density of 0.6 g/cm
•Minimum difference of 0.1 g/cm
3
3
between the density of the D4 fluid and the density of the D3
fluid. The density of the D4 fluid must be greater than the density of the D3 fluid.
•Minimum difference of 0.1 g/cm
3
between the density of the D4 fluid and the density of water.
The density of the D4 fluid may be either greater or less than the density of water
3.7.2Density calibration procedure
To perform a D1 and D2 density calibration, refer to the menu flowcharts Figures 3-12, 3-13, and
3-14.
To perform a D3 or a D3-and-D4 density calibration, refer to the menu flowcharts in Figures 3-15,

4.4Configuring standard volume flow measurement for gas
Two types of volume flow measurement are available:
•Liquid volume (the default)
•Gas standard volume
Only one type of volume flow measurement can be performed at a time (i.e., if liquid volume flow
measurement is enabled, gas standard volume flow measurement is disabled, and vice versa).
Different sets of volume flow measurement units are available, depending on which type of volume
flow measurement is enabled. If you want to use a gas volume flow unit, additional configuration is
required.
Note: If you will use the petroleum measurement application or the concentration measurement
application, liquid volume flow measurement is required.
To configure gas standard volume flow you must:
•Enable gas standard volume flow
•Specify the standard density (density at reference conditions) of your gas
•Select the measurement unit to use
•Set the low flow cutoff value
Note: The display will allow you to select a volume measurement unit from the set available for the
configured volume flow type, but it will not allow you to configure gas standard volume flow.

4.5Changing the measurement units
The transmitter is able to store measurement units in two different places: in the transducer block and
in the AI blocks. These two units locations are independent and can be set to different values. This
affects configuration in the following ways:
•If you are using a PROFIBUS configuration tool or the display, units will be set to match in
both the relevant AI block and the transducer block.
•If you are using ProLink II, use the
Function Block tab to configure units. Although units can
be configured on some of the other tabs, doing so may produce unintended results.
Note: Changing the measurement units for a process variable automatically changes the associated
totalizer units as well. For example, setting the mass flow units to g/s will automatically set the mass
totalizer unit to grams.
Note: Configure the AI block channel before configuring the AI block units. The AI blocks will
produce an error if the measurement units are set to a value that is impossible for the configured
channel.
To configure measurement units, refer to Tables 4-2 through 4-7 and the flowcharts in Figures 2-1
and 2-3.

4.6Configuring the petroleum measurement application
The petroleum measurement parameters determine the values that will be used in petroleum
measurement-related calculations. The petroleum measurement parameters are available only if the
petroleum measurement application is enabled on your transmitter.
Note: The petroleum measurement application requires liquid volume measurement units. If you plan
to use petroleum measurement process variables, ensure that liquid volume flow measurement is
specified. See Section 4.4.
4.6.1About the petroleum measurement application
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 application enables Correction of Temperature on volume
of Liquids, or CTL.
Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions are relevant to the petroleum measurement application:
•API – American Petroleum Institute
•CTL – Correction of 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
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.

Petroleum measurement 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 °F, and
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 above.
-If you specify an even-numbered table (6, 24, or 54), CTL will be derived using method 2
described above.
•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.
•Different tables use different density units:
-Degrees API
-Relative density (SG)
-Base density (kg/m

4.7Configuring the concentration measurement application
Micro Motion sensors provide direct measurements of density, but not of concentration. The
concentration measurement application calculates process variables such as concentration or density
at reference temperature, using density process data appropriately corrected for temperature.
Note: For a detailed description of the concentration measurement application, see the manual
entitled Micro Motion Enhanced Density Application: Theory, Configuration, and Use.
Note: The concentration measurement application requires liquid volume measurement units. If you
plan to use concentration measurement process variables, ensure that liquid volume flow
measurement is specified. See Section 4.4.
4.7.1About the concentration measurement application
The concentration measurement calculation requires a concentration measurement curve, which
specifies the relationship between temperature, concentration, and density for the process fluid being
measured. Micro Motion supplies a set of six standard concentration measurement curves (see
Table 4-10). If none of these curves is appropriate for your process fluid, you can configure a custom
curve or purchase a custom curve from Micro Motion.
The derived variable, specified during configuration, controls the type of concentration measurement
that will be produced. Each derived variable allows the calculation of a subset of concentration
measurement process variables (see Table 4-11). The available concentration measurement process
variables can be used in process control, just as mass flow rate, volume flow rate, and other process
variables are used. For example, an event can be defined on a concentration measurement process
variable.
StartupConfigurationCalibrationBefore You BeginStartupConfigurationCalibrationBefore You BeginStartupConfigurationCalibrationBefore You BeginStartupConfigurationCalibrationBefore You Begin
•For all standard curves, the derived variable is Mass Conc (Dens).
•For custom curves, the derived variable may be any of the variables listed in Table 4-11.
The transmitter can hold up to six curves at any given time, but only one curve can be active (used for
measurement) at a time. All curves that are in transmitter memory must use the same derived variable.

4.7.2Configuration procedure
Complete configuration instructions for the concentration measurement application are provided in
the manual entitled Micro Motion Enhanced Density Application: Theory, Configuration, and Use.
Note: The concentration measurement manual uses ProLink II as the standard configuration tool for
the concentration measurement application. Because the PROFIBUS parameters are very similar to
the ProLink II labels, you can follow the instructions for ProLink II and adapt them to your host. All
of the parameters related to the concentration measurement application can be found in Transducer
Block 2 (Slot 12).
The typical configuration procedure simply sets up the concentration measurement application to use
a standard curve. The following steps are required:
1. Set the transmitter’s density measurement unit to match the unit used by the curve (as listed in
Table 4-10).
2. Set the transmitter’s temperature measurement unit to match the unit used by the curve (as
listed in Table 4-10).
3. Set the derived variable to Mass Conc (Dens).
4. Specify the active curve.

4.8Changing the output scale
The AI function blocks can be configured to scale their output. The output scale is established by
defining a process variable value at 0% of scale and at 100% of scale. The output of the AI block will
be translated to a value between these two limits.
If you choose to use output scaling, note that it has no effect on the process values found in the
transducer block. This results in the following behaviors:
•ProLink II and the display use the process values in the transducer block. Therefore, the output
of a scaled AI block may differ from the value reported by other communication tools.
•Slug flow and flow cutoffs are configured in the transducer block. Therefore, output scaling
has no effect on the behavior of the transmitter with regard to slug flow or flow cutoffs.
To change the output scale, refer to the flowcharts in Figure 4-6.

4.9Changing process alarms
The transmitter uses process alarms to indicate that a process value has exceeded its user-defined
limits. The transmitter maintains four alarm values for each process variable. In addition, the
transmitter has an alarm hysteresis function to prevent erratic alarm reports.
Note: Process alarms are only posted through the AI function blocks and totalizer blocks and are not
shown on the display or in ProLink II.
4.9.1Alarm values
The process alarm values are the limits for process variables. Whenever a process variable exceeds a
process alarm value, the alarm will be reflected in the “Alarm Summary” parameters in each block.
Each AI function block and totalizer block has four process alarm limits: high alarm, high-high alarm,
low alarm, and low-low alarm. See Figure 4-7. The high and low process alarm values represent
normal process limits. The high-high and low-low process alarm values are used for more complex
alarm signals (e.g., to indicate a more severe problem than a regular process alarm indicates).

4.9.2Alarm hysteresis
The alarm hysteresis value is a percentage of the output scale. After a process alarm is created, the
transmitter will not create new alarms unless the process first returns to a value within the range of the
alarm hysteresis percentage. Figure 4-9 shows the transmitter’s alarm behavior with an alarm
hysteresis value of 50%.
Note the following about hysteresis:
Figure 4-9High versus low alarm hysteresis values
•A low hysteresis value allows the transmitter to broadcast a new alarm every time or nearly
every time the process variable crosses over the alarm limit.
•A high hysteresis value prevents the transmitter from broadcasting new alarms unless the
process variable first returns to a value sufficiently below the high alarm limit or above the low
alarm limit.

4.10Configuring status alarm severity
The severity level of some status alarms can be reclassified. For example:
•The default severity level for Alarm A020 (calibration factors unentered) 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.
A list of all status alarms and default severity levels is shown in Table 4-12. (For more information on

4.11Changing the damping values
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.
To configure damping, refer to the flowcharts in Figure 4-12.
Note: There is also a “damping” parameter in each AI block called AI PV Filter Time (index 32). In
order to avoid having two (potentially conflicting) damping values, you should set damping values
only in the transducer block. The AI PV Filter Time parameter for each AI block should be set to 0.

When you specify a new damping value, it is automatically rounded down to the nearest valid
damping value. Valid damping values are listed in Table 4-13.

Temperature0, 0.6, 1.2, 2.4, 4.8, ... 76.8
4.11.1Damping and volume measurement
When configuring damping values, note the following:
Be sure to set damping values accordingly.
•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.
4.12Changing slug flow limits and duration
Slugs—gas in a liquid process or liquid in a gas process—occasionally appear in some applications.
The presence of slugs can significantly affect the process density reading. The slug flow parameters
can help the transmitter suppress extreme changes in process variables, and can also be used to
identify process conditions that require correction.
Slug flow parameters are as follows:
•Low slug flow limit — the point below which a condition of slug flow will exist. Typically, this
is the lowest density you expect to observe for your process. The default value is 0.0 g/cm
The valid range is 0.0–10.0 g/cm
•High slug flow limit — the point above which a condition of slug flow will exist. Typically,
this is the highest density you expect to observe for your process. The default value is
5.0 g/cm
3
. The valid range is 0.0–10.0 g/cm3.
•Slug flow duration — the number of seconds the transmitter waits for a slug flow condition to
clear. If the transmitter detects slug flow, it will post a slug flow alarm and hold its last
“pre-slug” flow rate until the end of the slug flow duration and the measurement quality will
be marked “uncertain.” If slugs are still present after the slug flow duration has expired, the
transmitter will report a flow rate of zero (the measurement quality will remain at “uncertain”).
The default value for slug flow duration is 0.0 seconds. The valid range is 0.0–60.0 seconds.
Note: The slug flow limits must be entered in g/cm
density. Slug flow duration is entered in seconds. Raising the low slug flow limit or lowering the high
slug flow limit will increase the possibility of slug flow conditions. Conversely, lowering the low slug
flow limit or raising the high slug flow limit will decrease the possibility of slug flow conditions. If
slug flow duration is set to 0, the mass flow rate will be forced to 0 as soon as slug flow is detected.

4.13Configuring cutoffs
Cutoffs are user-defined values below which the transmitter reports a value of zero for the specified
process variable. Cutoffs can be configured for either mass flow, volume flow, or density.
Table 4-14 lists the default values and relevant comments for each cutoff. Note that the mass flow
cutoff is not applied to the volume flow calculation. Even if the mass flow drops below the cutoff, and
therefore the mass flow indicators go to zero, the volume flow rate will be calculated from the actual
mass flow process variable.

Operation
5.1Overview
This chapter describes how to use the transmitter in everyday operation. The following topics and
procedures are discussed:
•Using the I&M functions (Section 5.2)
•Recording process variables (Section 5.3)
•Viewing process variables (Section 5.4)
•Using sensor simulation mode (Section 5.5)
•Accessing diagnostic information with a PROFIBUS host (Section 5.6)
•Viewing transmitter status and alarms (Section 5.7)
•Viewing and using the totalizers and inventories (Section 5.8)
Note: All procedures provided in this chapter assume that you have established communication with
the transmitter and that you are complying with all applicable safety requirements. See Appendix C or
the documentation for your PROFIBUS host or configuration tool.
TroubleshootingDisplayDiagramsOperation
5.2Using the I&M functions
The transmitter implements the following PROFIBUS identification and maintenance (I&M)
functions:
•I&M 0
•I&M 1
•I & M 2
•PA I & M 0
Refer to Amendment 3 to the PROFIBUS Profile for Process Control Devices V 3.01: Identification
and Maintenance Functions Version 1.0, December 2004 Order No. 3.042.
The I&M functions contain a variety of device and manufacturer information, all of which is
hard-coded (read only). The I&M functions are not accessible via ProLink II or the display. If you are
using Siemens Simatic PDM, v6.0 SP2 or higher is required. Earlier versions do not support I&M
functions.
Refer to Appendix F for the bus parameters associated with the I&M functions.
5.3Recording process variables
Micro Motion suggests that you make a record of the process variables listed below, under normal
operating conditions. This will help you recognize when the process variables are unusually high or
low, and may help in fine-tuning transmitter configuration.
Configuration and Use Manual83
Page 92
Operation
Record the following process variables:
•Flow rate
•Density
•Temperature
•Tube frequency
•Pickoff voltage
•Drive gain
To view these values, refer to Section 5.4.
5.4Viewing process variables
Process variables include measurements such as mass flow rate, volume flow rate, temperature, and
density. You can view process variables with the display (if your transmitter has a display),
ProLink II, a PROFIBUS configuration tool (e.g., Simatic PDM) using the EDD, or from a Class 2
PROFIBUS host using bus parameters.
5.4.1With the display
By default, the display shows the mass flow rate, mass total, volume flow rate, volume total,
temperature, density, and drive gain. If desired, you can configure the display to show other process
variables. See Section 4.16.5.
The LCD panel reports the abbreviated name of the process variable (e.g.,
current value of that process variable, and the associated unit of measure (e.g.,
Appendix B for information on the codes and abbreviations used for display variables.
DENS for density), the
G/CM3). See
To view a process variable with the display:
•If Auto Scroll is enabled, wait until the desired process variable appears on the LCD panel.
•If Auto Scroll is not enabled,
Scroll until the name of the desired process variable either:
-Appears on the process variable line, or
-Begins to alternate with the units of measure
The precision of variables shown on the display is configurable. See Section 4.16.5. The display
precision affects only the value shown on the display, and does not affect the actual process value
stored in the transmitter.
Process variable values are displayed using either standard decimal notation or exponential notation:
•Values < 100,000,000 are displayed in decimal notation (e.g.,
•Values ≥ 100,000,000 are displayed using exponential notation (e.g.,
1234567.8).
1.000E08).
-If the value is less than the precision configured for that process variable, the value is
displayed as
0 (i.e., there is no exponential notation for fractional numbers).
-If the value is too large to be displayed with the configured precision, the displayed
precision is reduced (i.e., the decimal point is shifted to the right) as required so that the
value can be displayed.

5.6Accessing diagnostic information with a PROFIBUS host
The transmitter sends diagnostic information to a PROFIBUS host in the form of slave diagnostic
response bytes. The number of bytes sent depends on whether the transmitter is configured for
Manufacturer-specific or Profile-specific mode. See Section 2.5 for information about the mode, and
Appendix E for information on interpreting the diagnostic bytes.
5.7Viewing transmitter status and alarms
You can view transmitter status using the display, ProLink II, EDD, or bus parameters. Depending on
the method chosen, different information is displayed.
5.7.1With the display
The display reports alarms in two ways:
•With a status LED, which reports only that one or more alarms has occurred
•Through the alarm queue, which reports each specific alarm
Note: If access to the alarm menu from the display has been disabled (see Section 4.16), then the
display will not list alarm codes in an alarm queue and the status LED will not flash. The status LED
will indicate status using solid green, yellow, or red.

Status LED
The status LED is located at the top of the display (Figure 5-2). The status LED can be in one of six
possible states, as listed in Table 5-1. The procedure for responding to alarms is shown in Figure B-5.

5.7.2With ProLink II
ProLink II provides two ways to view alarm information:
•Choose
ProLink > Status. This window shows the current status of all possible alarms,
independent of configured alarm severity. The alarms are divided into three categories:
Critical, Informational, and Operational. To view the indicators in a category, click on the
associated tab. A tab is red if one or more status indicators in that category is active. On each
tab, currently active alarms are shown by red indicators.
•Choose
ProLink > Alarm Log. This window lists all active alarms, and all inactive but
unacknowledged Fault and Informational alarms. (The transmitter automatically filters out
Ignore alarms.) A green indicator means “inactive but unacknowledged” and a red indicator
means “active.” Alarms are organized into two categories: High Priority and Low Priority.
Configuration and Use Manual87
Page 96
Operation
Note: The location of alarms in the Status and Alarm Log windows is not affected by the configured
alarm severity (see Section 4.10). Alarms in the Status window are predefined as Critical,
Informational, or Operational. Alarms in the Alarm Log window are predefined as High Priority or
Low Priority.
5.7.3With EDD
The transmitter sets its PROFIBUS output status to bad or uncertain whenever an alarm condition
occurs. You can view the current alarms by selecting
Critical, Informational, or Operational. All possible alarms are shown, independent of configured
View > Device Status and then selecting
alarm severity. Currently active alarms are shown by a check mark.
5.7.4With bus parameters
The transmitter sets its PROFIBUS output status to bad or uncertain whenever an alarm condition
occurs. You can view alarms by reading the status words of the block where the alarm originated. The
status words are one or more parameters whose bits indicate alarm conditions:
•Index 23 (Alarm summary) of each AI function block (Slot 1, 2, 3, and 5).
•Indices 139–146 of transducer block 1 (Slot 11).
You must view all of the status words to get a comprehensive list of current alarms.
5.8Using the totalizers and inventories
The totalizers keep track of the total amount of mass or volume measured by the transmitter over a
period of time. The totalizers can be started and stopped, and the totals can be viewed and reset.
The inventories track the same values as the totalizers. Whenever totalizers are started or stopped, all
inventories (including the petroleum measurement volume inventory and concentration measurement
inventories) are started or stopped automatically. However, when totalizers are reset, inventories are
not reset automatically—you must reset inventories separately. This allows you to use the inventories
to keep running totals across multiple totalizer resets.
You can view all totalizer and inventory values using any of the communication tools: the display,
ProLink II, the EDD, or bus parameters. Specific starting, stopping, and resetting functionality
depends on the tool you are using.
5.8.1Viewing current values for totalizers and inventories
You can view current totals for the totalizers and inventories with the display (if your transmitter has a
display), ProLink II, PROFIBUS EDD, or PROFIBUS bus parameters.
With the display
You cannot view current totals with the display unless the display has been configured to show them.
See Section 4.16.1.
To view a totalizer or inventory value,

5.8.2Controlling the totalizers and inventories
Specific starting, stopping, and resetting functionality depends on the tool you are using.
With the display
If the required value is shown on the display, you can use the display to start and stop all totalizers
and inventories simultaneously, or to reset individual totalizers. See the flowchart in Figure 5-4. You
cannot reset any inventories with the display.

With PROFIBUS bus parameters
If the totalizer blocks are configured to report the status of one of the internal totalizers (i.e., not
Standard mode) (see Section 2.6), you can reset that total or inventory by setting index 29 of the
appropriate totalizer function block to 1.
You can also control the internal totalizers directly with the transducer block parameters shown in
Table 5-3. Except where specified, enabling each function means setting its value to 0x0001.
