Contents
Three of the Message Content choices allow you to adjust the fine detail of the burst message contents. Assign basic
content to the messages based on your application requirements:
D If the device is a monitor and you only need to track one parameter, you may be able to use only one message
bursting the Primary Variable.
D If you need to track only 2 or 3 variables and the alerts, you could enable 2 messages and assign Dynamic
Variables and Current to one and Additional Device Status to the other.
D If you are using an Emerson Gateway that configuration can be reduced to a single active message bursting the
Emerson Specific content.
D If you have a lot of parameters to track, Selected Device Variables will probably be used for at least one message.
D If you are using many parameters but need some at a faster rate than others, you could assign Selected Device
Variables as the basic content of two different messages, assign the fast update variables to one of them and the
slow variables to the other, and schedule their publication accordingly.
D For On/Off control devices, you must publish Discrete Variables in one of the messages.
Selected Device Variables (Command 9) is one of the choices that allow detailed content adjustment:
SELECTED DEVICE VARIABLES
IS THE NORMAL OR TYPICAL
SETTING FOR AN ON/OFF
CONTROL APPLICATION
You may assign the desired device variables to individual slots in the message. The variable placed in the first slot
becomes the Trigger Variable when burst trigger modes other than Continuous or OnChange are selected, so it is
advisable that the variable in that slot be chosen carefully. Using a variable that never changes, like Loop Current, or
one that dithers, such as Temperature, might be a poor choice for certain trigger modes. Usually the Trigger Variable
should be the parameter whose change is most representative of the process state you are monitoring.

Some of the available device variables are not computed in the device in a given structure or operating mode. These
are marked with an asterisk in the dropdown list that appears when you edit a slot.
Dynamic Variables and Current (Command 3) is the second choice that allows detailed adjustment:

4320 Wireless Position Monitor
October 2016
Here you can edit the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Dynamic Variable slots. The Primary Variable is fixed. Loop Current is also
published in this command, although it is always Not a Number, Bad, and Constant in the wireless device. The LoopCurrent value is sometimes needed by control system hosts, such as a DeltaV
™
system.
Make certain that any information that the host needs from the device is being published by the device in a timely
manner. If data is not being published, it is not available in the Gateway cache and the network manager application
will have to send a special request to the device to obtain that data every time a host requests it. This behavior uses up
a lot of the available bandwidth, and the network can become clogged if too many devices have data that is not being
published.
Emerson Specific (Command 178) is the third:
Here you can also edit the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Dynamic Variable slots. The Trigger Variable is the Primary Variable in the
above two cases.
If there are no slots to configure in the detailed content, the content is simply displayed.

Burst Trigger Mode
You are then asked to select the Trigger Mode (Continuous, Windowed, Rising, Falling, or OnChange). Continuous andWindowed are used in the majority of applications. The function of each of these modes is discussed below.
Some basic content choices, such as PV %Range +Loop Current, Additional Device Status, Emerson Specific, and DiscreteVariables, have limited triggering capability. In those cases only the available trigger modes are displayed, e.g.:
The burst message can be published continuously at a constant rate, or it can be configured for fast publishing when
trigger conditions are met, with slower publishing as the default. This is often termed “Report by Exception”. Instead
of Continuous, choose one of the “triggered” modes: Windowed, Rising, Falling, or OnChange.

Trigger Parameters / Scheduling
This menu structure varies based on the Message Content and Trigger Mode selections.
Update Rates
If you select Continuous trigger mode, the only parameter that is adjustable is the Triggered Update Rate.
D103794X012
When the selected trigger mode is other than Continuous, a Default Update Rate is added to the parameters to be
configured. The message will be published at the Default Update Rate until the trigger condition is met. When the
trigger condition has been met, the message will be published at the Triggered Update Rate for at least 3 transmissions.
Then, if the trigger condition is no longer met, the message will revert to publication at the slower Default Update Rate.
Note that the legal values of the update rate parameters are somewhat restricted. The longest permitted value is
1 hour (3600 seconds), the shortest usable value may be limited by the Gateway capability and network loading.
Values below 60 seconds must be factors of 2: (e.g., 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, or 1).
Sensor Sample Rate and Delayed Triggering
When the trigger mode of any message is other than Continuous, the device employs a userconfigured Sensor Sample
Rate for acquiring all of the processrelated variables. The value of this variable may be adjusted between 0.5 secondand the Triggered Update Rate in increments of 0.5 second. (Exception: for External Power devices, the Sensor Sample
Rate is fixed at the fastest rate possible in the device, since battery life is not a concern.) The edit procedure comparesthis value against the configured Triggered Update Rate of any other enabled burst message whose trigger mode is not
Continuous, to help prevent setting it slower than the fastest existing rate.
If the Sensor Sample Rate is faster than the Triggered Update Rate, enabling Delayed Triggering allows the device to latch
and timestamp a message as soon as the trigger condition is met, then schedule publishing at the next available
Triggered Update Rate time slot. This mode is called “Delayed” because the message is published a short time after the
data was captured. However, it allows capture of a transient event that might have been missed by only checking for
changes at the Triggered Update Rate.

Trigger Level
For Windowed, Rising, and Falling trigger modes, there is also a Burst Trigger Level to configure. The procedure now
automatically sets Trigger Class and Trigger Units to the values of the Burst Trigger Variable’s Class/Units. Accordingly,
the class is no longer displayed. The Burst Trigger Variable and Trigger Units are presented for reference in setting the
Burst Trigger Level.
If you select Windowed trigger mode, the Burst Trigger Level defines a +/ zone around the previous published value of
the Burst Trigger Variable. This mode is used when steady state operation is expected and increased timedomain
resolution is desired only when the process is changing rapidly. Adjust the Burst Trigger Level to set how much the BurstTrigger Variable must deviate from its previous value to trigger fast publishing.
In Rising trigger mode, the trigger level defines an upper threshold. This mode is used when process operation below a
specified level is of little consequence, but operation above that level needs to be tracked in greater detail. Adjust the
Burst Trigger Level to define the desired upper threshold that must be exceeded to meet the trigger condition.
11
4320 Wireless Position Monitor
October 2016
Instruction Manual Supplement
D103794X012
In Falling trigger mode, the trigger level defines a lower threshold. This mode is used when process operation above a
specified level is of little consequence, but operation below that level needs to be tracked in greater detail. Adjust the
Burst Trigger Level to define the desired lower threshold that must be exceeded to meet the trigger condition.
In OnChange trigger mode, the entire message is the trigger source, and any deviation from the previous value
satisfies the trigger condition. Therefore, the Burst Trigger Variable, Trigger Units and Burst Trigger Level do not appear.
This mode is most useful for discrete value message content such as Additional Device Status and Discrete Variables. It
should not be used on messages that contain data that may dither.

Note
Some versions of AMS will display this as a negative number if the most significant bit is set, even though it is an unsigned integer.
For display, the value has to be rescaled to seconds from its native scaling of 1/32 of a millisecond per bit, and the
misinterpretation probably occurs during the scaling process.
