MMI-20025166 October 2021
2 Quick start
2.1
The transmitter must be powered up for all configuration and commissioning tasks, or for process
measurement.
Procedure
Postrequisites
Although the sensor is ready to receive process fluid shortly after power-up, the electronics can take up to
10 minutes to reach thermal equilibrium. Therefore, if this is the initial startup, or if power has been off long
enough to allow components to reach ambient temperature, allow the electronics to warm up for
approximately 10 minutes before relying on process measurements. During this warm-up period, you may
observe minor measurement instability or inaccuracy.
Power up the transmitter
1. Follow appropriate procedures to ensure that a new device in the control system does not interfere
with existing measurement and control loops.
2. Verify that the cables are connected to the transmitter as described in the installation manual.
3. Verify that all transmitter and sensor covers and seals are closed.
WARNING
To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, ensure that all covers and seals are
tightly closed. For hazardous area installations, applying power while housing covers are removed or
loose can cause an explosion resulting in injury or death.
Turn on the electrical power at the power supply.
4.
The transmitter will automatically perform diagnostic routines. During this period, the Transmitter
Initializing alert is active. The diagnostic routines should complete in approximately 30 seconds.
2.2 Check meter status
Check the meter for any error conditions that require user action or that affect measurement accuracy.
Procedure
1. Wait approximately 10 seconds for the power-up sequence to complete.
Immediately after power-up, the transmitter runs through diagnostic routines and checks for error
conditions. During the power-up sequence, the Transmitter Initializing alert is active. This
alert should clear automatically when the power-up sequence is complete.
2. Check the status LED on the transmitter.

The transmitter can have both a HART address and a Modbus address. These addresses are used by service
tools and hosts to communicate with the transmitter. The transmitter can also have a tag. The tag identifies
the transmitter and can also be used for HART communications.
Procedure
• If you plan to make HART connections to the transmitter, set the HART address.
Set the transmitter addresses and tags
— Default: 0
— Range: 0–15
Tip
Leave HART Address at the default (0) unless you are in a multidrop environment.
• If you plan to make Modbus connections to the transmitter, set the Modbus address.
Configuration and Use Manual 13
Quick start Configuration and Use Manual
October 2021 MMI-20025166
— Default: 1
— Range: 1–15, 23–47, 64–79, 96–110
Tip
— If you need an address that is out of range, you can disable Modbus ASCII Support. When Modbus
ASCII Support is disabled, the Modbus address can be set to 1–127, excluding 111. 111 is reserved for
the service port address. However, you will not be allowed to use Modbus ASCII (7-bit) for connections
to the transmitter. You must use Modbus RTU (8-bit) instead.
— The other Modbus parameters can be left at the default values unless you have trouble making the
connection.
• Set the transmitter tag and/or the long tag.
The transmitter will respond to connection requests that use either the transmitter tag or the long tag.

1.
Optional: Specify Sensor Type.
• Straight Tube (T-Series sensors)
• Curved Tube (all sensors except T-Series)
Note
Unlike earlier transmitters, the 5700 derives Sensor Type from the user-specified values for FCF and K1
in combination with an internal ID.
2. Set the flow calibration factor: FCF (also called Flow Cal or Flow Calibration Factor). Be sure to include
all decimal points.
Set the density characterization parameters: D1, D2, TC, K1, K2, and FD. (TC is sometimes shown as
3.
DT.)
4. Apply the changes as required by the tool you are using.
The transmitter identifies your sensor type, and characterization parameters are adjusted as required:
• If Sensor Type changed from Curved Tube to Straight Tube, five characterization parameters are
added to the list.
• If Sensor Type changed from Straight Tube to Curved Tube, five characterization parameters are
removed from the list.
• If Sensor Type did not change, the list of characterization parameters does not change.
5. T-Series sensors only: Set the additional characterization parameters listed below.

2.9.2 Flow calibration parameters (FCF, FT)
Two separate values are used to describe flow calibration: a 6-character FCF value and a 4-character FT value.
They are provided on the sensor tag.
Both values contain decimal points. During characterization, these are entered as a single 10-character string.
The 10-character string is called either Flowcal or FCF.
If your sensor tag shows the FCF and the FT values separately and you need to enter a single value,
concatenate the two values to form the single parameter value, retaining both decimal points.
Concatenating FCF and FT
FCF = x.xxxx FT = y.yy Flow calibration parameter: x.xxxxy.yy

Verifying the zero helps you determine if the stored zero value is appropriate to your installation, or if a field
zero can improve measurement accuracy.
Important
In most cases, the factory zero is more accurate than the field zero. Do not zero the meter unless one of the
following is true:
• The zero is required by site procedures.
• The stored zero value fails the zero verification procedure.
Do not verify the zero or zero the meter if a high-severity alert is active. Correct the problem, then verify the
zero or zero the meter. You may verify the zero or zero the meter if a low-severity alert is active.
Procedure
1.
Prepare the meter:
a) Allow the meter to warm up for at least 20 minutes after applying power.
b) Run the process fluid through the sensor until the sensor temperature reaches the normal
process operating temperature.
c) Stop flow through the sensor by shutting the downstream valve, and then the upstream valve if
available.
d) Verify that the sensor is blocked in, that flow has stopped, and that the sensor is completely full
of process fluid.
2. Start the zero verification procedure, and wait until it completes.
3. If the zero verification procedure fails:
a) Confirm that the sensor is completely blocked in, that flow has stopped, and that the sensor is
completely full of process fluid.
b) Verify that the process fluid is not flashing or condensing, and that it does not contain particles
that can settle out.
c) Repeat the zero verification procedure.
d) If it fails again, zero the meter.

3.1.1 Universal Service Port security
This transmitter is equipped with a Universal Service Port that works with USB type A connections, including
compatible flash drives. There are multiple levels of security built into the transmitter service port that you
can configure according to your needs and security standards.
The service port offers the following features that enhance interface security:
• The service port is inaccessible without physical access to the transmitter and requires removal of the
terminal cover.
• The service port can be disabled from the transmitter through software.
• The transmitter has a non-traditional operating system that is not designed to execute programs or run
scripts.
• The display can be password protected to limit access to the USB file menu.
• Overall transmitter security switches such as the lock switch or write-protection disallows configuration
changes from all interfaces including the Universal Service Port.
This transmitter:
• Was designed to be implemented in an industrial automation control system (Level 1 and Level 2 of the
Purdue Reference Architecture Model), with defense in depth security controls.
• Is not intended to be directly connected to an enterprise or to an internet-facing network without a
compensating control in place.

Sensor Flow Direction Arrow is used to accommodate installations in which the Flow arrow on the sensor
does not match the majority of the process flow. This typically happens when the sensor is accidentally
installed backwards.
Sensor Flow Direction Arrow interacts with mA Output Direction, Frequency Output Direction, and
Totalizer Direction to control how flow is reported by the outputs and accumulated by the totalizers and
inventories.
The Sensor Flow Direction Arrow also affects how flow is reported on the transmitter display and via digital
communications. This includes ProLink III, a field communicator, and all other user interfaces.

4.2.2 Configure Flow Damping
Display Menu → Configuration → Process Measurement → Flow Variables → Flow Damping
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → Process Measurement → Flow → Flow Rate Damping
Field communicator Configure → Manual Setup → Measurements → Flow → Flow Damping
Flow Damping controls the amount of damping that will be applied to the measured mass flow rate. It affects
flow rate process variables that are based on the measured mass flow rate. This includes volume flow rate and
gas standard volume flow rate.
Flow Damping also affects specialized flow rate variables such as temperature-corrected volume flow rate
(API Referral) and net mass flow rate (concentration measurement). It is not applied to the flow rate received
via the Frequency Input.
Damping is used to smooth out small, rapid fluctuations in process measurement. The damping value
specifies the time period, in seconds, over which the transmitter will spread changes in the process variable.
At the end of the interval, the internal value of the process variable (the damped value) will reflect 63% of the
change in the actual measured value.
Procedure
Set Flow Damping to the value you want to use.
• Default: 0.64 seconds
• Range: 0 seconds to 60 seconds
Note
If a number greater than 60 is entered, it is automatically changed to 60.
36 Micro Motion 5700 Transmitters with Configurable Inputs and Outputs
Configuration and Use Manual Configure process measurement
MMI-20025166 October 2021
Tip
• A high damping value makes the process variable appear smoother because the reported value changes
slowly.
• A low damping value makes the process variable appear more erratic because the reported value changes
more quickly.
• The combination of a high damping value and rapid, large changes in flow rate can result in increased
measurement error.
• Whenever the damping value is non-zero, the reported measurement will lag the actual measurement
because the reported value is being averaged over time.
• In general, lower damping values are preferable because there is less chance of data loss, and less lag time
between the actual measurement and the reported value.
• The transmitter automatically rounds off any entered damping value to the nearest valid value. Therefore,
the recommended damping value for gas applications should be 3.2 seconds. If you enter 2.56, the
transmitter will round it off to 3.2.
• For filling applications, Emerson recommends using the default value of 0.04 seconds.
Effect of flow damping on volume measurement
Flow damping affects volume measurement for liquid volume data. Flow damping also affects volume
measurement for gas standard volume data. The transmitter calculates volume data from the damped mass
flow data.
Interaction between Flow Damping and mA Output Damping
In some circumstances, both Flow Damping and mA Output Damping are applied to the reported mass flow
value.
Flow Damping controls the rate of change in flow process variables. mA Output Damping controls the rate
of change reported through mA Output. If mA Output Process Variable is set to Mass Flow Rate, and both
Flow Damping and mA Output Damping are set to non-zero values, flow damping is applied first, and the
added damping calculation is applied to the result of the first calculation.

• Recommendation: 0.5% of maximum flow rate of the attached sensor. See the sensor specifications.
Important
Do not use your meter for measurement with Mass Flow Cutoff set to 0.0 g/sec. Ensure that Mass Flow
Cutoff is set to the value that is appropriate for your sensor.
Effect of Mass Flow Cutoff on volume measurement
Mass Flow Cutoff does not affect volume measurement. Volume data is calculated from the actual mass data
rather than the reported value.
Volume flow has a separate Volume Flow Cutoff that is not affected by the Mass Flow Cutoff value.
Interaction between Mass Flow Cutoff and mA Output Cutoff
Mass Flow Cutoff defines the lowest mass flow value that the transmitter will report as measured. mA
Output Cutoff defines the lowest flow rate that will be reported through mA Output. If mA Output Process
Variable is set to Mass Flow Rate, the mass flow rate reported through mA Output is controlled by the higher
of the two cutoff values.
Mass Flow Cutoff affects all reported values and values used in other transmitter behavior (e.g., events
defined on mass flow).
mA Output Cutoff affects only mass flow values reported through mA Output.
Example: Cutoff interaction with mA Output Cutoff lower than Mass Flow Cutoff
Configuration:
• mA Output Process Variable: Mass Flow Rate
• Frequency Output Process Variable: Mass Flow Rate
• mA Output Cutoff: 10 g/sec
• Mass Flow Cutoff: 15 g/sec
Result: If the mass flow rate drops below 15 g/sec, mass flow will be reported as 0, and 0 will be used in all
internal processing.
Example: Cutoff interaction with mA Output Cutoff higher than Mass Flow Cutoff
Configuration:
• mA Output Process Variable: Mass Flow Rate
• Frequency Output Process Variable: Mass Flow Rate
• mA Output Cutoff: 15 g/sec
• Mass Flow Cutoff: 10 g/sec
Result:
• If the mass flow rate drops below 15 g/sec but not below 10 g/sec:
— The mA Output will report zero flow.
— The Frequency Output will report the actual flow rate, and the actual flow rate will be used in all
internal processing.

Density Damping controls the amount of damping that will be applied to density data.
Damping is used to smooth out small, rapid fluctuations in process measurement. The damping value

At the end of the interval, the internal value of the process variable (the damped value) will reflect 63% of the
change in the actual measured value.
Procedure
Set Density Damping to the desired value.
• Default: 1.28 seconds

Tip
• A high damping value makes the process variable appear smoother because the reported value changes
slowly.
• A low damping value makes the process variable appear more erratic because the reported value changes
more quickly.
• The combination of a high damping value and rapid, large changes in density can result in increased
measurement error.
• Whenever the damping value is non-zero, the damped value will lag the actual measurement because the
damped value is being averaged over time.
• In general, lower damping values are preferable because there is less chance of data loss, and less lag time

Effect of Density Damping on volume measurement
Density Damping affects liquid volume measurement. Liquid volume values are calculated from the damped
density value rather than the measured density value. Density Damping does not affect gas standard volume
measurement.
Interaction between Density Damping and mA Output Damping
When mA Output is configured to report density, both Density Damping and mA Output Damping are
applied to the reported density value.
Density Damping controls the rate of change in the value of the process variable in transmitter memory. mA
Output Damping controls the rate of change reported through mA Output.
If mA Output Source is set to Density, and both Density Damping and mA Output Damping are set to nonzero values, density damping is applied first, and the mA Output damping calculation is applied to the result
of the first calculation. This value is reported over mA Output.

4.6.2 Configure Temperature Damping
Display Menu → Configuration → Process Measurement → Temperature → Damping
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → Process Measurement → Temperature → Temperature Damping
Field communicator Configure → Manual Setup → Measurements → Temperature → Damping
Temperature Damping controls the amount of damping that will be applied to temperature data from the
sensor. Temperature Damping is not applied to external temperature data.
Damping is used to smooth out small, rapid fluctuations in process measurement. The damping value
specifies the time period, in seconds, over which the transmitter will spread changes in the process variable.
At the end of the interval, the internal value of the process variable (the damped value) will reflect 63% of the
change in the actual measured value.
Procedure
Set Temperature Damping to the desired value.
Configuration and Use Manual 51
Configure process measurement Configuration and Use Manual
October 2021 MMI-20025166
• Default: 4.8 seconds
• Range: 0.0 to 80 seconds
Note
If a number greater than 80 is entered, it is automatically changed to 80.
Tip
• A high damping value makes the process variable appear smoother because the reported value changes
slowly.
• A low damping value makes the process variable appear more erratic because the reported value changes
more quickly.
• The combination of a high damping value and rapid, large changes in temperature can result in increased
measurement error.
• Whenever the damping value is non-zero, the damped value will lag the actual measurement because the
damped value is being averaged over time.
• In general, lower damping values are preferable because there is less chance of data loss, and less lag time
between the actual measurement and the damped value.
Effect of Temperature Damping on process measurement
Temperature Damping affects all processes and algorithms that use temperature data from the internal
sensor RTD.
Temperature compensation
Temperature compensation adjusts process measurement to compensate for the effect of temperature on
the sensor tubes.
API Referral
Temperature Damping affects API Referral process variables only if the transmitter is configured to use
temperature data from the sensor. If an external temperature value is used for API Referral, Temperature
Damping does not affect API Referral process variables.
Concentration measurement
Temperature Damping affects concentration measurement process variables only if the transmitter is
configured to use temperature data from the sensor. If an external temperature value is used for
concentration measurement, Temperature Damping does not affect concentration measurement process
variables.

5.2 Set up concentration measurement
The concentration measurement application calculates concentration from line density and line temperature.
5.2.1
The procedure for setting up concentration measurement application depends on how your device was
ordered and how you want to use the application. Review this information before you begin.
Requirements for concentration measurement
To use the concentration measurement application, the following conditions must be met:
• The concentration measurement application must be enabled.
• The API Referral application must be disabled.
• The gas piecewise linearization (PWL) application must be disabled.
• The Advanced Phase Measurement application must be disabled or set for the Liquid with Gas application.
• A concentration matrix must be loaded into one of the six slots on the transmitter.
• Temperature Source must be configured and set up.
• One matrix must be selected as the active matrix (the matrix used for measurement).
Requirements for matrices
A matrix is the set of coefficients used to convert process data to concentration, plus related parameters. The
matrix can be saved as a file.
Preparing to set up concentration measurement
Tip
In most cases, the concentration matrix that you ordered was loaded at the factory. If it was not, you have
several options for loading a matrix. You can also build a matrix.
The transmitter requires all matrices to be in .matrix format. You can use ProLink III to load matrices in other
formats:
• .edf (used by ProLink II)
• .xml (used by ProLink III)
The transmitter can store matrices in two locations:
• One of the six slots in memory
• The transmitter SD card
Any matrix in a slot is available for use. In other words, it can be selected as the active matrix and used for
measurement. Matrices on the SD card are not available for use. Matrices must be loaded into a slot before
they can be used for measurement.
All matrices in slots must use the same derived variable. Matrices on the SD card have no requirement for
their derived variables to match.
See the following table for the different ways that you can load matrices.

Load matrix from SD card to slot ✓ ✓ ✓
Requirements for derived variables
A derived variable is the process variable that a concentration matrix measures. All other process variables are
calculated from the derived variable. There are eight possible derived variables. Each matrix is designed for
one specific derived variable.
The transmitter can store up to six matrices in six slots. There are additional matrices on the transmitter SD
card. All matrices in the six slots must use the same derived variable. If you change the setting of Derived
Variable, all matrices are deleted from the six slots. Any matrices on the transmitter SD card are not affected.
Tip
Always ensure that Derived Variable is set correctly before loading matrices into slots.
Derived variables and net flow rate
If you want the transmitter to calculate Net Mass Flow Rate, the derived variable must be set to Mass
Concentration (Density). If your matrix is not designed for Mass Concentration (Density), contact customer
support for assistance.
If you want the transmitter to calculate Net Volume Flow Rate, the derived variable must be set to Volume
Concentration (Density). If your matrix is not designed for Volume Concentration (Density), contact customer
support for assistance.
Derived variables based on specific gravity
The following derived variables are based on specific gravity:
• Specific Gravity
• Concentration (Specific Gravity)
• Mass Concentration (Specific Gravity)
• Volume Concentration (Specific Gravity)
If you are using one of these derived variables, two additional parameters can be configured:
• Reference Temperature of Water (default setting: 4 °C)
• Water Density at Reference Temperature (default setting: 999.99988 kg/m³)
These two parameters are used to calculate specific gravity.
You cannot set these parameters from the display. If the default values are not appropriate, you must use
another method to set them.

Set up temperature data using the display
The concentration measurement application uses line temperature data in its calculations. You must decide
how to provide this data, then perform the required configuration and setup. Temperature data from the onboard temperature sensor (RTD) is always available. Optionally, you can set up an external temperature
device and use external temperature data.
The temperature setup that you establish here will be used for all concentration measurement matrices on
this meter.
Important
Line temperature data is used in several different measurements and calculations. It is possible to use the
internal RTD temperature in some areas and an external temperature in others. The transmitter stores the
internal RTD temperature and the external temperature separately. However, the transmitter stores only one
alternate temperature value, which may be either the external temperature or the configured fixed value.
Accordingly, if you choose a fixed temperature for some uses, and an external temperature for others, the
external temperature will overwrite the fixed value.
Prerequisites
If you plan to poll an external device, the primary mA Output (Channel A) must be wired to support HART
communications.
If you plan to use the mA Input for temperature data, Channel D must be available for use, and must be wired
to an external temperature device.

to a user-defined string.
Modify extrapolation alerts using the display
You can enable and disable extrapolation alerts, and set extrapolation alert limits. These parameters control
the behavior of the concentration measurement application but do not affect measurement directly.
Each concentration matrix is built for a specific density range and a specific temperature range. If line density
or line temperature goes outside the range, the transmitter will extrapolate concentration values. However,
extrapolation may affect accuracy. Extrapolation alerts are used to notify the operator that extrapolation is
occurring.
Each concentration matrix has its own extrapolation alert limits.

Set up temperature data using ProLink III
The concentration measurement application uses line temperature data in its calculations. You must decide
how to provide this data, then perform the required configuration and setup. Temperature data from the onboard temperature sensor (RTD) is always available. Optionally, you can set up an external temperature
device and use external temperature data.
The temperature setup that you establish here will be used for all concentration measurement matrices on
this meter.
Important
Line temperature data is used in several different measurements and calculations. It is possible to use the
internal RTD temperature in some areas and an external temperature in others. The transmitter stores the
internal RTD temperature and the external temperature separately. However, the transmitter stores only one
alternate temperature value, which may be either the external temperature or the configured fixed value.
Accordingly, if you choose a fixed temperature for some uses, and an external temperature for others, the
external temperature will overwrite the fixed value.
Prerequisites
If you plan to poll an external device, the primary mA Output (Channel A) must be wired to support HART
communications.

Compensation
Value
AOC Algorithm
The transmitter sends the close command when the measured batch total equals the
target minus the value configured for Fixed Overshoot Compensation. This value is
configured in the current mass or volume unit, and applies to all presets.
The transmitter compares the actual measured amount of each batch to the batch
target, and determines the adjustment by calibrating itself according to an internal
algorithm. You can choose to stop AOC calibration when you are satisfied with the
result, or you can set up rolling (continuous) AOC calibration.
Procedure

Field communicator Not available
Response Time controls the speed of various internal processes that are involved in retrieving electronic data
from the sensor and converting it to process data.
Response Time affects all process and diagnostic variables.
Restriction
Response Time is configurable only if you are using the enhanced core processor. If you are using the
standard core processor, Response Time is set to Low Filtering and cannot be changed.
Procedure
Set Response Time as desired.
Option Description
Normal Appropriate for typical applications.
High Filtering Slower response. Appropriate for applications with significant amount of entrained gas or

process noise.
Low Filtering Fastest response. Appropriate for proving or filling applications.
Service Do not select unless directed by Emerson personnel.
6.2 Detect and report two-phase flow
Two-phase flow (gas in a liquid process or liquid in a gas process) can cause a variety of process control issues.
The transmitter provides two methods to detect and report or respond to two-phase flow.

The transmitter can use line density data to detect two-phase flow (gas in a liquid process or liquid in a gas
process). The density limits are user-specified. When two-phase flow is detected, an alert is posted.
Procedure
1.
Set Two-Phase Flow Low Limit to the lowest density value that is considered normal in your process.
Values below this will cause the transmitter to post a Process Aberration alert.
Tip
Gas entrainment can cause your process density to drop temporarily. To reduce the occurrence of twophase flow alerts that are not significant to your process, set Two-Phase Flow Low Limit slightly below
your expected lowest process density.
You must enter Two-Phase Flow Low Limit in g/cm³, even if you configured another unit for density
measurement.
• Default: 0 g/cm³
• Range: 0 g/cm³ to the sensor limit
Set Two-Phase Flow High Limit to the highest density value that is considered normal in your process.
2.
Values above this will cause the transmitter to post a Process Aberration alert.
Tip
To reduce the occurrence of two-phase flow alerts that are not significant to your process, set TwoPhase Flow High Limit slightly above your expected highest process density.
You must enter Two-Phase Flow High Limit in g/cm³, even if you configured another unit for density
measurement.
• Default: 5 g/cm³
• Range: 5 g/cm³ to the sensor limit
Set Two-Phase Flow Timeout to the number of seconds that the transmitter will wait for a two-phase

flow condition to clear before posting the alert.
• Default: 0 seconds, meaning that the alert will be posted immediately
• Range: 0 to 60 seconds

The transmitter always monitors sensor diagnostics and applies a two-phase flow algorithm. You can assign
an mA Output to report the results of this calculation: single-phase flow, moderate two-phase flow, or severe
two-phase flow. Severe two-phase flow can cause the meter to stop functioning.
Procedure
Set mA Output Source to Two-Phase Flow Detection.

The signal from the mA Output indicates the current state of the process:
• 12 mA: Single-phase flow
• 16 mA: Moderate two-phase flow
• 20 mA: Severe two-phase flow

Display Menu → Configuration → Alert Setup → Enhanced Events → Flow Rate Switch
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → I/O → Outputs → Discrete Output → Source → Flow Switch Indication
Field communicator Configure → Manual Setup → Inputs/Outputs → Channel x → Discrete Output x → Flow Switch
Flow Rate Switch is used to indicate that the flow rate has moved past a user-specified setpoint, in either
direction. The flow rate switch is implemented with a user-configurable hysteresis.
Typically, a Discrete Output is assigned as the flow rate switch indicator. The Discrete Output can be wired to
an external device such as a light or a horn.
Prerequisites
A channel must be configured as a Discrete Output, and the Discrete Output must be available for this use.
Procedure
Configure Flow Rate Switch
Set Discrete Output Source to Flow Switch, if you have not already done so.
1.
2. Set Flow Switch Variable to the flow variable that you want to use to control the flow rate switch.
3. Set Flow Switch Setpoint to the value at which the flow switch will be triggered (after Hysteresis is
applied).
Depending on the polarity of the Discrete Output:
• If the flow rate is below this value, the Discrete Output is ON.
• If the flow rate is above this value, the Discrete Output is OFF.
4. Set Hysteresis to the percentage of variation above and below the setpoint that will operate as a
deadband.
Hysteresis defines a range around the setpoint within which the flow rate switch will not change.
• Default: 5%
• Range: 0.1% to 10%
Example
If Flow Switch Setpoint = 100 g/sec and Hysteresis = 5%, and the first measured flow rate is above
100 g/sec, the discrete output is OFF. It will remain OFF unless the flow rate drops below 95 g/sec. If
this happens, the discrete output will turn ON, and remain ON until the flow rate rises above 105 g/sec.
At this point it turns OFF and will remain OFF until the flow rate drops below 95 g/sec.

6.4 Configure events
An event occurs when the real-time value of a user-specified process variable moves past a user-defined
setpoint. Events are used to provide notification of process changes or to perform specific transmitter actions
if a process change occurs.
Your transmitter supports two event models:
• Basic event model
• Enhanced event model
Tip
Use enhanced events rather than basic events. Enhanced events can perform all the functions of basic events,
and they add the following:
• Defining events by range (In Range or Out of Range), in addition to High and Low
• Triggering transmitter actions if an event occurs
6.4.1 Configure a basic event
Display Not available
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → Events → Basic Events
Field communicator Not available
A basic event is used to provide notification of process changes. A basic event occurs (is ON) if the real-time
value of a user-specified process variable moves above (HI) or below (LO) a user-defined setpoint. Event status
can be queried via digital communications, and a Discrete Output can be configured to report event status.
You can define up to two basic events.
Procedure
Select the event that you want to configure.
1.
2. Assign a process variable to the event.
3. Specify Event Type.
Option Description
HI x > A
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is greater
than the setpoint (Setpoint A), endpoint not included.
LO x < A
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is less than
the setpoint (Setpoint A), endpoint not included.
4. Set a value for Setpoint A.
5. Optional: Configure a Discrete Output to switch states in response to the event status.
