CONSIDERATIONS
GeneralElectrical temperature sensors, such as resistance temperature detectors
(RTDs) and thermocouples (T/Cs), produce low-level signals proportional to
temperature. The 3144P transmitter converts low-level signals to HART or
F
OUNDATION fieldbus signals. This signal is then transmitted to the control
room via two power/signal wires.
Electrical Proper electrical installation is essential to prevent errors due to sensor lead
resistance and electrical noise. The current loop must have between 250 and
1100 ohms resistance for HART communications. Refer to Figure 2-10 on
page 2-11 for sensor and current loop connections. F
devices must have proper termination and power conditioning for reliable
operation. Shield cables must be used for F
may only be grounded in one place.

Environmental 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, an extension nipple, or a remote mounting
configuration to isolate the transmitter from the process. Figure 1-1 describes
the relationship between housing temperature rise and extension length.

Example:
The maximum permissible housing temperature rise (T) can be calculated
by subtracting the maximum ambient temperature (A) from the
transmitter’s ambient temperature specification limit (S). For instance,
suppose A = 40 °C.
T = S - A
T = 85 °C – 40 °C
T = 45 °C
3044-0123A
Moist or Corrosive
Environments
For a process temperature of 540 °C (1004 °F), an extension length of 3.6
inches (91.4 mm) yields a housing temperature rise (R) of 22 °C (72 °F),
which provides a safety margin of 23 °C (73 °F). A six-inch extension
length (R = 10 °C (50 °F)) would offer a higher safety margin (35 °C (95
°F)) and would reduce temperature-effect errors but would probably
require extra transmitter support. Gauge the requirements for individual
applications along this scale. If a thermowell with lagging is used, the
extension length may be reduced by the length of the lagging.
The 3144P temperature transmitter has a highly reliable dual compartment
housing designed to resist moisture and corrosion. The sealed electronics
module is mounted in a compartment that is isolated from the terminal side
conduit entries. O-ring seals protect the interior when the covers are properly
installed. In humid environments, however, it is possible for moisture to
accumulate in conduit lines and drain into the housing.

NOTE
Each transmitter is marked with a tag indicating the approvals. Install the
transmitter in accordance with all applicable installation codes and approval
and installation drawings (see Appendix B: Product Certifications). Verify that
the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the hazardous
locations certifications. Once a device labeled with multiple approval types is
installed, it should not be reinstalled using any of the other labeled approval
types. To ensure this, the approval label should be permanently marked to
distinguish the used from the unused approval type(s).

Mounting Take into account the need for access to the transmitter when choosing an
installation location and position.
Terminal Side of Electronics Housing
Mount the transmitter so the terminal side is accessible. Allow adequate
clearance for cover removal. Make wiring connections through the conduit
openings on the bottom of the housing.
Circuit Side of Electronics Housing
Mount the transmitter so the circuit side is accessible. Provide adequate
clearance for cover removal. Additional room is required for LCD installation.
The transmitter may be mounted directly to or remotely from the sensor.
Using optional mounting brackets, the transmitter may be mounted to a flat
surface or to a two-inch diameter pipe (see “Optional Transmitter Mounting
Brackets” on page A-8).
Software CompatibilityReplacement transmitters may contain revised software that is not fully
compatible with the existing software. The 375 Field Communicator and AMS
software containing device descriptors for the 3144 and 3244MV before
December 2001 do not fully support the new features of the 3144P. The
Device Descriptors (DD) are available with new communicators or can be
loaded into existing communicators at any Emerson Process Management
Service Center.

COMMISSIONINGThe 3144P must be configured for certain basic variables to operate. In many
cases, all of these variables are pre-configured at the factory. Configuration
may be required if the configuration variables need to be changed.
Commissioning consists of testing the transmitter and verifying transmitter
configuration data. Rosemount 3144P transmitters can be commissioned
either before or after installation. Commissioning the transmitter on the bench
before installation using a 375 Field Communicator or AMS ensures that all
transmitter components are in working order.
For more information on using the Field Communicator with the 3144P
transmitter, see “HART Commissioning” on page 3-1. For more information on
using the 3144 with Foundation fieldbus, see “Foundation Fieldbus
Configuration” on page 4-1.

Alarm Switch (HART)
The transmitter monitors itself during normal operation with an automatic
diagnostic routine. If the diagnostic routine detects a sensor failure or a failure
in the transmitter electronics, the transmitter goes into alarm (high or low,
depending on the position of the failure mode switch).
The analog alarm and saturation values that the transmitter uses depend on
whether it is configured to standard or NAMUR-compliant operation. These
values are also custom-configurable in both the factory and the field using the
HART Communications. The limits are
•21.0 ≤ I ≤ 23 for high alarm
•3.5 ≤ I ≤ 3.75 for low alarm

OUNDATION Fieldbus)
Simulate switch is used to replaces the channel value coming from the

MOUNTING If possible, mount the transmitter at a high point in the conduit run so moisture
from the conduits will not drain into the housing. The terminal compartment
could fill with water If the transmitter is mounted at a low point in the conduit
run. In some instances, the installation of a poured conduit seal, such as the
one pictured in Figure 2-3, is advisable. Remove the terminal compartment
cover periodically and inspect the transmitter for moisture and corrosion.

Power/Current Loop Connections
Use copper wire of a sufficient size to ensure that the voltage across the
transmitter power terminals does not go below 12.0 V dc.
1. Connect the current signal leads as shown in Figure 2-10.
2. Recheck the polarity and correctness of connections.
3. Turn the power ON.
For information about multichannel installations, refer to page 2-17.
NOTE
Do not connect the power/signal wiring to the test terminal. The voltage
present on the power/signal leads may burn out the reverse-polarity
protection diode that is built into the test terminal. If the test terminal’s reverse
polarity protection diode is burned out by the incorrect power/signal wiring, the
transmitter can still be operated by jumping the current from the test terminal
to the “–” terminal. See “Test Terminal” on page 4-3 for use of the terminal.

Sensor ConnectionsFigure 2-9 on page 2-11 (HART) and Figure 2-12 on page 2-13 (FOUNDATION
fieldbus) shows the correct sensor wiring connections to the transmitter
sensor terminals. To ensure an adequate sensor connection, anchor the
sensor lead wires beneath the flat washer on the terminal screw. Do not
remove the transmitter cover in explosive atmospheres if the circuit is live.
Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof
requirements. Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and
terminals.
RTD or Ohm Inputs
If the transmitter is mounted remotely from a 3- or 4-wire RTD, it will operate
within specifications, without recalibration, for lead wire resistances of up to
10 ohms per lead (equivalent to 1,000 feet of 20 AWG wire). In this case, the
leads between the RTD and transmitter should be shielded. If using only two
leads (or a compensation loop lead wire configuration), both RTD leads are in
series with the sensor element, so significant errors can occur if the lead
lengths exceed one foot of 20 AWG wire. For longer runs, attach a third or
fourth lead as described above. To eliminate 2-wire lead resistance error, the
2-wire offset command can be used. This allows the user to input the
measured lead wire resistance, resulting in the transmitter adjusting the
temperature to correct the error.
Thermocouple or Millivolt Inputs
For direct-mount applications, connect the thermocouple directly to the
transmitter. If mounting the transmitter remotely from the sensor, use
appropriate thermocouple extension wire. Make connections for millivolt
inputs with copper wire. Use shielding for long runs of wire.
NOTE
For HART transmitters, the use of two grounded thermocouples with a dual
option 3144P transmitter is not recommended. For applications in which the
use of two thermocouples is desired, connect either two ungrounded
thermocouples, one grounded and one ungrounded thermocouple, or one
dual element thermocouple.
POWER SUPPLYHART
An external power supply is required to operate the 3144P (not included). The
input voltage range of the transmitter is 12 to 42.4 V DC. This is the power
required across the transmitter power terminals. The power terminals are
rated to 42.4 V DC. With 250 ohms of resistance in the loop, the transmitter
will require a minimum of 18.1 V DC for communication.
The power supplied to the transmitter is determined by the total loop
resistance and should not drop below the lift-off voltage. The lift-off voltage is
the minimum supply voltage required for any given total loop resistance. See
Figure 2-13 to determine the required supply voltage. If the power drops
below the lift-off voltage while the transmitter is being configured, the
transmitter may output incorrect information.
2-14
The dc power supply should provide power with less than 2% ripple. The total
resistance load is the sum of the resistance of the signal leads and the load
resistance of any controller, indicator, or related piece of equipment in the
loop. Note that the resistance of intrinsic safety barriers, if used, must be
included.

Surges/TransientsThe transmitter will withstand electrical transients of the energy level usually
encountered in static discharges or induced switching. However, high-energy
transients, such as those induced in wiring from nearby lightning strikes, can
damage both the transmitter and the sensor.
To protect against high-energy transients, install the integral transient
protection board (option code T1). The integral transient protection board is
available as an ordered option or as an accessory. Refer to “Transient
Protection (Option Code T1)” on page A-16 for more information.
GroundingSensor Shielding
The currents in the leads induced by electromagnetic interference can be
reduced by shielding. Shielding carries the current to ground and away from
the leads and electronics. If the ends of the shields are adequately grounded,
little current will actually enter the transmitter.
If the ends of the shield are left ungrounded, a voltage is created between the
shield and the transmitter housing and also between the shield and earth at
the element end. The transmitter may not be able to compensate for this
voltage, causing it to lose communication and/or go into alarm. Instead of the
shield carrying the currents away from the transmitter, the currents will now
flow through the sensor leads into the transmitter circuitry where they will
interfere with the circuit operation.

Shielding Recommendations
The following are recommended practices are from API Standard 552
(Transmission Standard) section 20.7 and from field and laboratory testing. If
more than one recommendation is given for a sensor type, start with the first
technique shown or the technique that is recommended for the facility by its
installation drawings. If the technique does not eliminate the transmitter
alarms, try another technique. If all techniques unsuccessfully prevent
transmitter alarms due to high EMI, contact a Emerson Process Management
representative.
Ungrounded Thermocouple, mV, and RTD/Ohm Inputs
Option 1: recommended for ungrounded transmitter housing
1. Connect the signal wiring shield to the sensor wiring shield.
2. Ensure the two shields are tied together and electrically isolated from
the transmitter housing.
3. Ground the shield at the power supply end only.
4. Ensure the shield at the sensor is electrically isolated from the
surrounding fixtures that may be grounded.

Updating the HART
Communication Software
The Menu Tree and Fast Key sequences use the following device revisions:
•Standard 3144P: Device Revision Dev v3, DD v2
•3144P SIS: Device Revision Dev v2, DD v1
The 375 Field Communicator exchanges information with the transmitter from
the control room, the instrument site, or any wiring termination point in the
loop. To facilitate communication, connect the Field Communicator in parallel
with the transmitter (see Figure 2-10). Use the loop connection ports on the
top of the Field Communicator. The connections are non-polarized. Do not
make connections to the NiCad recharger jack in explosive atmospheres.
Before connecting the Field Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make
sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically
safe or non-incendive field wiring practices
The 375 Field Communicator software may need to be updated to take
advantage of the additional features available in the 3144P (field device
revision 3). Perform the following steps to determine if an upgrade is
necessary.
1. Choose “Rosemount” from the list of manufacturers and “3144 Temp”
from the list of models.
2. If the Fld Dev Rev choices include “Dev v3, DD v2,” an upgrade is not
required. If the only choice is “Dev v1” or “Dev v2” (with any DD version),
then the communicator should be upgraded. The 3144P SIS Safety
Certified transmitters requires Device Revision Dev v2, DD v1.
NOTE
If communication is initiated with an improved 3144P using a communicator
that only has a previous version of the transmitter device descriptors (DDs),
the communicator will display the following message:
NOTICE: Upgrade to the 375 software to access new XMTR functions.
Continue with old description?
Select YES: the communicator will communicate properly with the transmitter
using the existing transmitter DDs. However, new software features of the DD
in the communicator will not be accessible. I
Select NO: the communicator will default to a generic transmitter functionality.
If YES is selected when the transmitter is already configured to utilize the new
features of the improved transmitters (such as Dual Input configuration or one
of the added sensor input types–DIN Type L or DIN Type U), the user will
experience trouble communicating with the transmitter and will be prompted
to turn the communicator off. To prevent this from happening, either upgrade
the communicator to the latest DD or answer NO to the question above and
default to the generic transmitter functionality.

NOTE
If Sensor 1 and/or Sensor 2 should fail while PV is configured for average
temperature and Hot Backup is not enabled, the transmitter will go into alarm.
For this reason, when PV is Sensor Average it is recommended that Hot
Backup be enabled when dual-element sensors are used or when two
temperature measurements are taken from the same point in the process. If a
sensor failure occurs when Hot Backup is enabled while PV is Sensor
Average, three scenarios could result:
•If Sensor 1 fails, the average will only be reading from Sensor 2, the
working sensor.
•If Sensor 2 fails, the average will only be reading from Sensor 1, the
working sensor.
•If both sensors fail simultaneously, the transmitter will go into alarm and
the status available (via HART) states that both Sensor 1 and Sensor 2
have failed.
In the first two scenarios, where Hot Backup is enabled with PV set to Sensor
Average, the 4-20 mA signal is not disrupted and the status available to the
control system (via HART) specifies which sensor has failed.

Apply changes made (see “Apply AMS Changes” on page 3-5).
First-Good Configuration
HART Fast Keys1, 3, 1, 5, 5
The First Good device variable is useful for applications in which
dual-sensors (or a single dual element sensor) are used in a single
process. The first good variable will report the Sensor 1 value, unless
Sensor 1 fails. When Sensor 1 fails, the Sensor 2 value will be reported as
the first good variable. Once the first good variable has switched to Sensor
2, it will not revert back to Sensor 1 until a master reset occurs or
“Suspend Non-PV alarms” is disabled. When the PV is mapped to first
good and either Sensor 1 or Sensor 2 fails, the analog output will go to the
alarm level, but the digital PV value read through the HART interface will
still report the proper first good sensor value.
If it is desired that the transmitter not go into analog output alarm while
having the PV mapped to first good and Sensor 1 fails, enable “Suspend
Non-PV Alarm” mode. This combination will prevent the analog output
from going to the alarm level unless BOTH sensors fail.

Hot Backup Configuration
HART Fast Keys1, 3, 3, 4
The Config Hot BU command configures the transmitter to automatically
use Sensor 2 as the primary sensor if Sensor 1 fails. With Hot Backup
enabled, the primary variable (PV) must either be First Good or Sensor
Average (see “Average Temperature” on page 3-10 for details on using
Hot Backup when PV is Sensor Average). You can map Sensors 1 or 2 as
the secondary variable (SV), tertiary variable (TV), or quaternary variable
(QV). In the event of a primary variable (Sensor 1) failure, the transmitter
enters Hot Backup mode and Sensor 2 becomes the PV. The 4–20 mA
signal is not disrupted and a status is available to the control system (via
HART) that Sensor 1 has failed. An LCD display, if attached, also displays
the failed sensor status.
While configured to Hot Backup, if Sensor 2 fails while Sensor 1 is still
operating properly, the transmitter continues to report the PV 4–20 mA
analog output signal while a status is available to the control system (via
HART) that Sensor 2 has failed. In Hot Backup mode, the transmitter will
not revert back to Sensor 1 to control the 4–20 mA analog output until the
Hot Backup mode is reset. Reset Hot Backup either by re-enabling via
HART or by briefly powering down the transmitter.
To set up and enable the Hot Backup feature for the 3144P transmitter,
perform the following procedure:
1. Attach any two sensors to the transmitter as shown in Figure 2-12 on
page 2-16.
2. From the Home screen, select 1 Device Setup, 3 Configuration, 1 Variable Mapping, 5 Variable Re-map to set primary, secondary, tertiary,

Drift Alert Configuration

HART
The Drift Alert command allows the user to configure the transmitter to set
a warning flag (via HART) or go into analog alarm when the temperature
difference between Sensor 1 and Sensor 2 exceeds a user-defined limit.
This feature is useful when measuring the same process temperature with
two sensors, ideally when using a dual-element sensor. When Drift Alert
mode is enabled, the user will set the maximum allowable difference, in
engineering units, between Sensor 1 and Sensor 2. If this maximum
difference is exceeded, a drift alert warning flag will be set.
When configuring the transmitter for Drift Alert the user also has the option
of specifying that the analog output of the transmitter go into alarm when
sensor drifting is detected.
NOTE
For the standard HART product, the Drift Alert alarm cannot be enabled while
Hot Backup is enabled. The safety certified transmitter will allow Drift Alert
Alarm and Hot Backup configured simultaneously. If one sensor fails the
transmitter will switch to the other sensor. If the maximum allowable difference
is exceeded the AO will go to alarm with the senor drift detected. This is
considered 1oo2d (one-out-of-two diagnostics) for safety applications. The
Drift Alert warning, however, can be used simultaneously with Hot Backup.
For information on configuring the transmitter for Hot Backup see page 3-12.
To set up and enable the Drift Alert feature of the 3144P, perform the

Reranging the transmitter sets the measurement range to the limits of the
expected readings. Setting the measurement range to these limits maximizes
transmitter performance; the transmitter is most accurate when operated
within the expected temperature range for the application.
The rerange functions should not be confused with the trim function. Although
reranging the transmitter matches a sensor input to a 4-20 mA output, as in
conventional calibration, it does not affect the transmitter’s interpretation of
the input.

Process Variable Damping
HART Fast Keys1, 3, 4, 1, 3
The PV Damp command changes the response time of the transmitter to
smooth variations in output readings caused by rapid changes in input.
Determine the appropriate damping setting based on the necessary response
time, signal stability, and other requirements of the loop dynamics of the
system. The default damping value is 5.0 seconds and can be reset to any
value between 0 and 32 seconds.
The value chosen for damping affects the response time of the transmitter.
When set to zero (i.e., disabled), the damping function is off and the
transmitter output reacts to changes in input as quickly as the intermittent
sensor algorithm allows. Increasing the damping value increases transmitter
response time.
HART
When damping is enabled, the transmitter will output a value at time (t)
according to the following equation:
Output
= Input
(t)
(ts)
– De
(–t/damping)
D = input step change at time t = 0
At the time to which the damping time constant is set, the transmitter output is
at 63 percent of the input change; it continues to approach the input according
to the damping equation above.
For example, as illustrated in Figure 3-2, if the temperature undergoes a step
change—from 100 degrees to 110 degrees, and the damping is set to 5.0
seconds, at 5.0 seconds, the transmitter outputs 106.3 degrees, or 63 percent
of the input change, and the output continues to approach the input curve
according to the equation above.

saturation values. To change the alarm values and saturation values, select
the value to be changed, either 1 Low Alarm, 2 High Alarm, 3 Low Sat., 4 High Sat, or 5 Preset Alarms. Enter the desired new value. It must fall within the
guidelines given below.
•The low alarm value must be between 3.50 and 3.75 mA
•The high alarm value must be between 21.0 and 23.0 mA
3-16
The low saturation level must be between the low alarm value plus 0.1 mA
and 3.9 mA for the standard HART transmitter. For the safety certified
transmitter the lowest saturation setting is 3.7 mA and the highest is 20.9 mA.
Example:
The low alarm value has been set to 3.7 mA. Therefore, the low
saturation level, S, must be as follows:
3.8 ≤ S ≤ 3.9 mA.
The high saturation level must be between 20.5 mA and the high alarm value
minus 0.1 mA for the standard HART transmitter. The highest saturation
setting for the Safety Certified transmitter is 20.9 mA.

Intermittent Sensor Detect (Advanced Feature)
The Intermittent Sensor Detect feature is designed to guard against process
temperature readings caused by intermittent open sensor conditions (an
intermittent sensor condition is an open sensor condition that lasts less than
one update). By default, the transmitter is shipped with the Intermittent Sensor
Detect feature switched ON and the threshold value set at 0.2% of sensor
limits. The Intermittent Sensor Detect feature can be switched ON or OFF and
the threshold value can be changed to any value between 0 and 100% of the
sensor limits with a Field Communicator.
Transmitter Behavior with Intermittent Sensor Detect ON
When the Intermittent Sensor Detect feature is switched ON, the transmitter
can eliminate the output pulse caused by intermittent open sensor conditions.
Process temperature changes (∆T) within the threshold value will be tracked
normally by the transmitter’s output. A ∆T greater than the threshold value will
activate the intermittent sensor algorithm. True open sensor conditions will
cause the transmitter to go into alarm.
The threshold value of the 3144P should be set at a level that allows the
normal range of process temperature fluctuations; too high and the algorithm
will not be able to filter out intermittent conditions; too low and the algorithm
will be activated unnecessarily. The default threshold value is 0.2% of the
sensor limits.

Transmitter Behavior with Intermittent Sensor Detect OFF
When the Intermittent Sensor Detect feature is switched OFF, the transmitter
tracks all process temperature changes, even if they are the consequence of
an intermittent sensor. (The transmitter in effect behaves as though the
threshold value had been set at 100%.) The output delay due to the
intermittent sensor algorithm will be eliminated.

Open Sensor Holdoff
HART Fast Keys1, 3, 6, 4
The Open Sensor Holdoff option, at the normal setting, enables the 3144P to
be more robust under heavy EMI conditions. This is accomplished through the
software by having the transmitter perform additional verification of the open
sensor status prior to activating the transmitter alarm. If the additional
verification shows that the open sensor condition is not valid, the transmitter
will not go into alarm.

MULTIDROP
COMMUNICATION
Figure 3-4. Typical Multidropped
Network
Multidropping refers to the connection of several transmitters to a single
communications transmission line. Communication between the host and the
transmitters takes place digitally with the analog output of the transmitters
deactivated. Many of Rosemount transmitters can be multidropped. With the
HART communications protocol, up to 15 transmitters can be connected on a
single twisted pair of wires or over leased phone lines.
The application of a multidrop installation requires consideration of the update
rate necessary from each transmitter, the combination of transmitter models,
and the length of the transmission line. Each transmitter is identified by a
unique address (1–15) and responds to the commands defined in the HART
protocol.

NOTE
The 3144P is set to address 0 at the factory, allowing it to operate in the
standard point-to-point manner with a 4–20 mA output signal. To activate
multidrop communication, the transmitter address must be changed to a

Rosemount 3144P
USE WITH THE HART
TRI-LOOP
To prepare the 3144P transmitter with dual-sensor option for use with a
Rosemount 333 HART Tri-Loop, you must configure the transmitter to Burst
Mode and set the process variable output order. In Burst Mode, the
transmitter provides digital information for the four process variables to the
HART Tri-Loop. The HART Tri-Loop divides the signal into separate 4–20 mA
loops for up to three of the following choices:
•primary variable (PV)
•secondary variable (SV)
•tertiary variable (TV)
•quaternary variable (QV)
When using the 3144P transmitter with dual-sensor option in conjunction with
the HART Tri-Loop, consider the configuration of the differential, average, first
good temperatures, Sensor Drift Alarm, and Hot Backup features (if
applicable).
NOTE
These procedures assume that the sensors and the transmitter are
connected, powered, and functioning properly, and that a Field Communicator
is connected to the transmitter control loop and is communicating
successfully. For communicator usage instructions, see “Commissioning” on
page 2-2.
Set the Transmitter to Burst Mode

To set the transmitter to burst mode, follow the steps below.
1. From the Home screen, select 1 Device setup, 3 Configuration, 4 Device output configuration, 3 HART output, 4 Burst option to prepare to set the
transmitter to burst command 3. The communicator displays the Burst
option screen.
2. Select Process vars/current. The communicator returns to the HART

3. Select 3Burst mode to prepare to enable Burst Mode. The
communicator displays the Burst Mode screen.
4. Select On to enable Burst Mode. The communicator returns to the HART
output screen.
5. Select Send to download the new configuration information to the
transmitter.

Special Considerations
To initiate operation between a 3144P transmitter with dual-sensor option and
the HART Tri-Loop, consider the configuration of both the differential,
average, first good temperatures, Sensor Drift Alarm, and Hot Backup
features (if applicable).
Differential Temperature Measurement
To enable the differential temperature measurement feature of a
dual-sensor 3144P operating in conjunction with the HART Tri-Loop,
adjust the range end points of the corresponding channel on the HART
Tri-Loop to include zero. For example, if the secondary variable of the
transmitter is to report the differential temperature, configure the
transmitter accordingly (see “Set Process Variable Output Order” on
page 3-25) and adjust the corresponding channel of the HART Tri-Loop so
one range end point is negative and the other is positive.
Hot Backup
To enable the Hot Backup feature of a 3144P transmitter with dual-sensor
option operating in conjunction with the HART Tri-Loop, ensure that the
output units of the sensors are the same as the units of the HART
Tri-Loop. Use any combination of RTDs or thermocouples as long as the
units of both match the units of the HART Tri-Loop.
Using the Tri-Loop to Detect Sensor Drift Alarm
The dual-sensor 3144P transmitter sets a failure flag (via HART) whenever a
sensor failure occurs. If an analog warning is required, the HART Tri-Loop can
be configured to produce an analog signal that can be interpreted by the
control system as a sensor failure.
Use these steps to set up the HART Tri-Loop to transmit sensor failure alerts.
1. Configure the dual-sensor 3144P variable map as shown.
VariableMapping
PVSensor 1 or Sensor Average
SVSensor 2
TVDifferential Temperature
QVAs Desired
2. Configure Channel 1 of the HART Tri-Loop as TV (differential
temperature). If either sensor should fail, the differential temperature
output will be +9999 or –9999 (high or low saturation), depending on the
position of the Failure Mode Switch (see “Failure Mode and Security
Switch Locations” on page 2-5).

3. Select temperature units for Channel 1 that match the differential
temperature units of the transmitter.
4. Specify a range for the TV such as –100 to 100 °C. If the range is large,
then a sensor drift of a few degrees will represent only a small percent of
range. If Sensor 1 or Sensor 2 fails, the TV will be +9999 (high
saturation) or –9999 (low saturation). In this example, zero is the
midpoint of the TV range. If a ∆T of zero is set as the lower range limit
(4 mA), then the output could saturate low if the reading from Sensor 2
exceeds the reading from Sensor 1. By placing zero in the middle of the
range, the output will normally stay near 12 mA, and the problem will be
avoided.
5. Configure the DCS so that TV < –100 °C or TV > 100 °C indicates a
sensor failure and, for example, TV ≤ –3 °C or TV ≥ 3 °C indicates a drift
alert. See Figure 3-5.

CALIBRATIONCalibrating the transmitter increases the precision of your measurement
system. The user may use one or more of a number of trim functions when
calibrating. To understand the trim functions, it is necessary to understand
that HART transmitters operate differently from analog transmitters. An
important difference is that smart transmitters are factory-characterized; they
are shipped with a standard sensor curve stored in the transmitter firmware.
In operation, the transmitter uses this information to produce a process
variable output, dependent on the sensor input. The trim functions allow the
user to make adjustments to the factory-stored characterization curve by
digitally altering the transmitter’s interpretation of the sensor input.
Calibration of the 3144P may include the following procedures:
•Sensor Input Trim: digitally alter the transmitter’s interpretation of the
input signal
•Transmitter Sensor Matching: generates a special custom curve to
match that specific sensor curve, as derived from the Callendar-Van
Dusen constants
•Output Trim: calibrates the transmitter to a 4–20 mA reference scale
•Scaled Output Trim: calibrates the transmitter to a user-selectable
reference scale.
TRIM THE
TRANSMITTER
The trim functions should not be confused with the rerange functions.
Although the rerange command matches a sensor input to a 4–20 mA
output—as in conventional calibration—it does not affect the transmitter’s
interpretation of the input.
One or more of the trim functions may be used when calibrating. The trim
functions are as follows
•Sensor Input Trim
•Transmitter Sensor Matching
•Output Trim
•Output Scaled Trim

Active Calibrator and EMF Compensation
HART Fast Keys1, 2, 2, 1, 3
The transmitter operates with a pulsating sensor current to allow EMF
compensation and detection of open sensor conditions. Because some
calibration equipment requires a steady sensor current to function properly,
the “Active Calibrator Mode” feature should be used when an Active
Calibrator, which requires a constant sensor current, is connected. Enabling
this mode will temporarily set the transmitter to provide steady sensor current
unless two sensor inputs are configured. Disable this mode before putting the
transmitter back into the process. Disabling this mode will set the transmitter
back to pulsating current. “Active Calibrator Mode” is volatile and will
automatically be disabled when a Master Reset is performed (via HART) or
when power is cycled.

HART
Rosemount 3144P

EMF compensation allows the transmitter to provide sensor measurements
that are not affected by unwanted voltages, which are typically due to thermal
EMFs in the equipment connected to the transmitter or by some types of
calibration equipment. If this equipment also requires steady sensor current,
the transmitter must be set to “Active Calibrator Mode.” However, the steady
current does not allow the transmitter to perform EMF compensation. As a
result, a difference in readings between the Active Calibrator and actual
sensor may exist.
If a reading difference is experienced and the difference is greater than the
plant’s accuracy specification allows, perform a sensor trim with “Active
Calibrator Mode” disabled. In this case, an active calibrator capable of
tolerating pulsating sensor current must be used or the actual sensors must
be connected to the transmitter. When the 375 Field Communicator or AMS
asks if an Active Calibrator is being used when the sensor trim routine is
entered, select No. This will leave the “Active Calibrator Mode” disabled.

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
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 LOW. Some of
these may be supported by different function blocks in the 3144P. For
more information, see the Function Block manual (document number
00809-0100-4783).

Link Active SchedulerThe 3144P can be designated to act as the backup Link Active Scheduler
(LAS) in the event that the designated LAS is disconnected from the segment.
As the backup LAS, the 3144P 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 3144P.
To activate the LAS capability, write 0x02 to the
BOOT_OPERAT_FUNCTIONAL_CLASS object (Index 605). To
deactivate, write 0x01.
2.Restart the device.
Block InstantiationRosemount devices are pre-configured with function blocks at the factory, the
default configuration for the 3144P is listed below. The 3144P can have up to
three additional instantiated function blocks (nine instantiated, four
permanent, three additional).
•3 Analog Input Blocks (tag names AI 1400, AI 1500, AI 1600)
•2 Proportional/Integral/Derivative Block (tag name PID 1700, PID 1800)
•Input Selector (tag names ISEL 1900)
•Signal Characterizer (tag name CHAR 2000)
•Arithmetic (tag name ARTH 2100)
•Output Splitter (tag name OSPL 2200)
FOUNDATION Fieldbus
The four permanent blocks are as follows:
•Resource
•Transducer
•LCD
•SPM
The 3144P 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
permanent 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% of the “FREE_SPACE”.

Analog Input Block (index number 1400, 1500, and 1600)
The Analog Input Function Block (AI) processes the measurements from the
sensor 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 AI block is widely used for scaling
functionality.
PID Block (index number 1700 and 1800)
The PID Function Block combines all of the necessary logic to perform
proportional/integral/derivative (PID) control. The block supports mode
control, signal scaling and limiting, feed forward control, override tracking,
alarm limit detection, and signal status propagation.
The block supports two forms of the PID equation: Standard and Series. You
can choose the appropriate equation using the MATHFORM parameter. The
Standard ISA PID equation is the default selection and Autotune.
Input Selector (index number 1900)
The signal selector block provides selection of up to four inputs and generates
an output based on the configured action. This block normally receives its
inputs from AI blocks. The block performs maximum, minimum, middle,
average and ‘first good’ signal selection.

FEATURES and
FEATURES_SEL
Output Splitter (index number OSPL 2200)
The output splitter block provides the capability to drive two control outputs
from a single input. Each output is a linear function of some portion of the
input.
Arithmetic (index number 2100)
This block is designed to permit simple use of popular measurement math
functions. The user does not have to know how to write equations. The math
algorithm is selected by name, chosen by the user for the function to be done.
Signal Characterizer (index number 2000)
The signal characterizer block has two sections, each with an output that is a
non-linear function of the respective input. The non-linear function is
determined by a single look-up table with 21 arbitrary x-y pairs. The status of
an input is copied to the corresponding output, so the block may be used in
the control or process signal path.
The parameters FEATURES and FEATURE_SEL determine optional
behavior of the 3144P.
FEATURES
The FEATURES parameter is read only and defines which features are
supported by the 3144P. Below is a list of the FEATURES the 3144P
supports.
UNICODE
All configurable string variables in the 3144P, 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 3144P 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 and HARD W LOCK
Inputs to the security and write lock functions include the hardware security
switch, the hardware and 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.
The FEATURE_SEL parameter enables the user to select a hardware or
software write lock or no write lock capability. To enable the hardware security
function, enable the HW_SEL bit in the FEATURE_SEL parameter. When this
bit has been enabled the WRITE_LOCK parameter becomes read only and
will reflect the state of the hardware switch. In order to enable the software
write lock, the SW_SEL bit must be set in the FEATURE_SEL parameter.
Once this bit is set, the WRITE_LOCK parameter may be set to “Locked” or
“Not Locked.” Once the WRITE_LOCK parameter is set to “Locked” by either
the software or the hardware lock, all user requested writes as determined by
the DEFINE_WRITE_LOCK parameter shall be rejected.
The DEFINE_WRITE_LOCK parameter allows the user to configure whether
the write lock functions (both software and hardware) 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 by the
security switch.
The following table displays all possible configurations of the WRITE_LOCK
parameter.
(1) The hardware and software write lock select bits are mutually exclusive and the hardware select has the highest priority. When the HW_SEL bit if set to 1

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™ AlertsThe alerts and recommended actions should be used in conjunction with
“Operation” on page 4-20.
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

BLOCK
NOTE
When the engineering units of the XD_SCALE in the associated AI Block 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.
DampingThe 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 and
AI Block get input from the Transducer Block, adjusting the damping
parameter will effect the values passed to 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 will display value from
Transducer block.
Electronics Failure: An electrical component failed.
I/O Failure: An I/O failure occurred.
Software Error: The software has detected an internal error.
Calibration Error: An error occurred during calibration of the device.
Algorithm Error: The algorithm used in the transducer block produced an error due to
overflow, data reasonableness failure, etc.
Table 4-8 lists the potential errors and the possible corrective actions for the
given values. The corrective actions are in order of increasing system level
compromises. The first step should always be to reset the transmitter and
then if the error persists, try the steps in Table 4-8. Start with the first
corrective action and then try the second.

Block. For testing purposes, it is possible to manually drive the output of the
Analog Input Block to a desired value. There are two ways to do this.
Manual Mode
To change only the OUT_VALUE and not the OUT_STATUS of the AI Block,
place the TARGET MODE of the block to MANUAL. Then, change the
OUT_VALUE to the desired value.
Simulate
1.If the SIMULATE switch is in the OFF position, move it to the ON
position. If the SIMULATE jumper is already in the ON position, you
must move it to off and place it back in the ON position.
NOTE
As a safety measure, the switch must be reset every time power is
interrupted to the device in order to enable SIMULATE. This prevents a
device that is tested on the bench from getting installed in the process with
SIMULATE still active.
2.To change both the OUT_VALUE and OUT_STATUS of the AI Block,
set the TARGET MODE to AUTO.
3.Set SIMULATE_ENABLE_DISABLE to ‘Active’.
4.Enter the desired SIMULATE_VALUE to change the OUT_VALUE
and SIMULATE_STATUS_QUALITY to change the OUT_STATUS.
If errors occur when performing the above steps, be sure that the
SIMULATE jumper has been reset after powering up the device.

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.

FilteringNOTE
If damping has already been configured in the Transducer Block, setting a
non-zero value for PV_FTIME will add to that damping.
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.

limits of the following standard alarms:
•High (HIGH_LIM)
•High high (HIGH_HIGH_LIM)
•Low (LOW_LIM)

In order to avoid alarm chattering 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:

Propagate Fault Forward
If the status from the sensor is Bad, Device failure or Bad, Sensor failure,
propagate it to OUT without generating an alarm. The use of these
sub-status in OUT is determined by this option. Through this option, the
user may determine whether alarming (sending of an alert) will be done by
the block or propagated downstream for alarming.
Uncertain if Limited
Set the output status of the Analog Input block to uncertain if the measured
or calculated value is limited.
BAD
Set the output status to Bad if the sensor is violating a high or low limit.
Uncertain if Man Mode
Set the output status of the Analog Input block to uncertain if the actual
mode of the block is Man.
NOTE
The instrument must be in Out of Service mode to set the status option.

Sensor Calibration, Lower and Upper Trim Methods
In order to calibrate the transmitter, run the Lower and Upper Trim Methods. If
your system does not support methods, manually configure the Transducer
Block parameters listed below.
1. Set MODE_BLK.TARGET_X to OOS
2. Set SENSOR_CAL_METHOD_X to User Trim
3. Set CAL_UNIT_X to supported engineering units in the
Transducer Block
4. Apply temperature that corresponds to the lower calibration point and
allow the temperature to stabilize. The temperature must be between
the range limits defined in PRIMRY_VALUE_RANGE_X.
5. Set values of CAL_POINT_LO_X to correspond to the temperature
applied by the sensor.
6. Apply temperature, temperature corresponding to the upper calibration
7. Allow temperature to stabilize.
8. Set CAL_POINT_HI_X

NOTE
CAL_POINT_HI_X must be within PRIMARY_VALUE_RANGE_X and greater
than CAL_POINT_LO_X + CAL_MIN_SPAN_X.
9. Set SENSOR_CAL_DATE_X to the current date.
10. Set SENSOR_CAL_WHO_X to the person responsible for the
calibration.
11. Set SENSOR _CAL_LOC_X to the calibration location.
12. Set MODE_BLK.TARGET_X to AUTO
NOTE
If trim fails the transmitter will automatically revert to factory trim.
Excessive correction or sensor failure could cause device status to read
“calibration error.” To clear this, trim the transmitter
Recall Factory Trim
To recall a factory trim on the transmitter, run the Recall Factory Trim. If your
system does not support methods, manually configure the Transducer Block
parameters listed below.
1.Set MODE_BLK.TARGET_X to OOS
2.Set SENSOR_CAL_METHOD_X to Factory Trim.
3.Set SET_FACTORY_TRIM_X to Recall.
4.Set SENSOR_CAL_DATE_X to the current date.
5.Set SENSOR_CAL_WHO_X to the person responsible for the
calibration.
6.Set SENSOR _CAL_LOC_X to the calibration location.
7.Set MODE_BLK.TARGET_X to AUTO.
NOTE
When changing the sensor type, the transmitter reverts to the factory trim and
any other trim performed on the transmitter is lost.

Statistical Process
Monitoring (SPM)
FOUNDATION Fieldbus
Statistical Process Monitoring algorithm is intended to provide basic
information regarding the behavior of process measurements such as PID
control block and actual valve position. The algorithm can monitor up to four
user selected variables. All variables must reside in a scheduled function
block which is contained in the device. This algorithm can perform higher
levels of diagnostics by distribution of computational power to field devices.
The two statistical parameters monitored by the Statistical Process Monitoring
are mean and standard deviation. By using the mean and standard deviation,
the process or control levels and dynamics can be monitored for change over
time. The algorithm also provides:
•Configurable limits/alarms for High variation, low dynamics, and mean
changes with respect to the learned levels
•Necessary statistical information for Regulatory Control Loop
Diagnostics, Root Cause Diagnostics, and Operations Diagnostics.
NOTE
In Fieldbus devices, a wealth of information is available to the user. Both
process measurement and control is feasible at the device level. The devices
themselves contain both the process measurements and control signals that
are necessary to not only control the process, but to determine if the process
and control is healthy. By looking at the process measurement data and
control output over time, one can gain additional insight into the process.
Under some load conditions and process demands, changes could be
interpreted as degradation of instruments, valves or major components such
as pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, etc.... This degradation may also
indicate that the loop control scheme needs to be re-tuned or re-evaluated. By
learning a healthy process and continually comparing current information to
the known healthy information, problems due to degradation and eventual
failure can be avoided and remedied ahead of time. These diagnostics are to
aid in the engineering and maintenance of the devices. False alarms and
missed detections may occur. If a reoccurring problem in your process exists,
please contact Rosemount for assistance with the diagnostics.

Configuration Phase
The configuration phase is an inactive state when the SPM algorithm can be
configured. In this phase, the block tags, block type, parameter, limits for high
variation, low dynamics, and mean change detection can be set by the user.
The “Statistical Process Monitoring Activation” parameter must be set to
“disabled” to configure any SPM parameter. SPM can monitor any linkable
input or output parameter of a scheduled function block that resides in the
device.
Learning Phase
In the learning phase of Statistical Process Monitoring, the algorithm
establishes a baseline of the mean and dynamics of a Statistical Process
Monitoring variable. The baseline data is compared to current data for
calculating any changes in mean or dynamics of the Statistical Process
Monitoring variables.
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4021, Rev DA
November 2004
Monitoring Phase
The monitoring phase starts after the learning process is complete. The
algorithm compares the current values to the baseline values of the mean and
standard deviation. During this phase the algorithm computes the percent
change in mean and standard deviation to determine if the defined limits are
violated.
SPM ConfigurationSPM_Bypass_Verification
If “Yes” the verification of the baseline is turned off. If “No” the learned
baseline is compared to the next current calculated value to ensure a good
baseline value. The recommended value is NO.
SPM_Monitoring_Cycle
SPM_Monitoring_Cycle is the length of time the process values are taken and
used in each calculation. A longer monitoring cycle may provide a more stable
mean value. The default is 15 minutes.
SPM#_Block_Tag
Enter the Block Tag of the function block that contains the parameter to be
monitored. Block tag must be entered, there is no pull-down menu to select
the tag. The tag must be a valid “Block Tag” that is in the device. The default
block tags from the factory are:

ISEL 1700
CHAR 1800
ARITH 1900
SPM can also monitor “out” parameters from other devices. To do this, link the
“out” parameter to an input parameter of a function block that resides in the
device, and set up SPM to monitor the input parameter.
SPM#_Block Type
Enter the Block Type of the function block that contains the parameter to be
monitored.
SPM#_Parameter Index
Enter the Parameter Index of the parameter to be monitored.

SPM#_Thresholds
The SPM#_Thresholds are used to allow alerts to be sent when the values
are beyond the threshold values that have been set for each parameter.
Mean Limit
Alert Limit value in percent change of the Mean compared with the
baseline mean value.
High Variation
Alert Limit value in percent change of the Stdev compared with the
baseline Stdev value.
Low Dynamics
Alert Limit value in percent change of the Stdev compared with the
baseline Stdev value.
SPM_Active
SPM_Active parameter that starts the Statistical Process Monitoring when
“Enabled”. “Disabled” turns the diagnostic monitoring off. Must be set to
“Disabled” for configuration. Only set to “Enabled” after fully configuring the
SPM.
SPM#_User Command
Select “Learn” after all the parameters have been configured to begin the
Learning Phase. The monitoring phase will start after the learning process is
complete. Select “Quit” to stop the SPM “Detect” may be selected to return to
the monitoring phase.
Baseline Values
The Baseline Values are the calculated values from the process over the
Learning Cycle.
SPM#_Baseline_Mean
SPM#_Baseline_Mean is the calculated average of the process variable
over the Learning Cycle.
SPM#_Baseline_Standard_Deviation
SPM#_Baseline_Standard_Deviation is the square root of the variance of
the process variable over the Learning Cycle.
