Configuration and Use Manual Quick start
MMI- 20070546 June 2021
2 Quick start
2.1 Power up the transmitter
The transmitter must be powered up for all configuration and commissioning tasks, or for process
measurement.
Procedure
1. 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.
2. Turn on the electrical power at the power supply.
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.
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.
Table 2-1: Status LED and device status
Status LED condition Device status
Solid green No alerts are active.
Solid yellow One or more alerts are active with Alert Severity = Out of Specification,
Maintenance Required, or Function Check.
Solid red One or more alerts are active with Alert Severity = Failure.

2.3 Determine PROFIBUS PA device address and Ident
Selection using the display
You can configure the 5700 address using either of the following methods:
• Hardware addressing
• Software addressing
For more information, see Addressing.
Procedure
1. To determine the PROFIBUS-PA device address, choose Menu → Configuration → Profibus-PA Setting
→ Profibus PA Address.
• The 5700 address is configurable if the BCD switches at the back of the printed circuit assembly
(PCA) on the display are set > 125.
• If you change the 5700 address from the display, power cycle the 5700 so that the new address gets
used for PROFIBUS-PA communication.
2. To determine the PROFIBUS-PA Ident Selection, choose Menu → Configuration → Profibus-PA Setting
→ Ident Selection.
2.4 Commissioning wizards
The transmitter menu includes a Guided Setup to help you move quickly through the most common
configuration parameters. ProLink III also provides a commissioning wizard.
By default, when the transmitter starts up, the Guided Setup menu is offered. You can choose to use it or not.
You can also choose whether or not Guided Setup is displayed automatically.
• To enter Guided Setup upon transmitter startup, choose Yes at the prompt.
• To enter Guided Setup after transmitter startup, choose Menu → Startup Tasks.
• To control the automatic display of Guided Setup, choose Menu → Configuration → Guided Setup.
For information on the ProLink III commissioning wizard, see the Micro Motion ProLink III with ProcessViz

2.5 Make a startup connection to the transmitter
For all configuration tools except the display, you must have an active connection to the transmitter to
configure the transmitter.
Procedure
Identify the connection type to use, and follow the instructions for that connection type in the appropriate
appendix.
2.6 Set the transmitter clock
Display Menu → Configuration → Time/Date/Tag
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → Transmitter Clock
The transmitter clock provides timestamp data for alerts, service logs, history logs, and all other timers and
dates in the system. You can set the clock for your local time or for any standard time you want to use.
Tip
You may find it convenient to set all of your transmitter clocks to the same time, even if the transmitters are
in different time zones.
Procedure
1. Select the time zone that you want to use.
2. If you need a custom time zone, select Special Time Zone and enter your time zone as a difference
from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
3. Set the time appropriately for the selected time zone.
Tip
The transmitter does not adjust for Daylight Savings Time. If you observe Daylight Savings Time, you
must reset the transmitter clock manually.

Do not set Sensor Type. Sensor Type is set or derived during characterization.
2.9 Characterize the meter (if required)
Display Menu → Configuration → Sensor Parameters
ProLink III Device Tools → Calibration Data
DeltaV AMS Configure → Manual Setup → Characterization
Siemens PDM Device → Manual Setup → Characterization
Characterizing the meter adjusts your transmitter to match the unique traits of the sensor it is paired with.
The characterization parameters (also called calibration parameters) describe the sensor’s sensitivity to flow,
density, and temperature. Depending on your sensor type, different parameters are required.
Values for your sensor are provided on the sensor tag or the calibration certificate.
• If your transmitter was ordered with a sensor, it was characterized at the factory. However, you should still
verify the characterization parameters.
• Perform a characterization whenever you replace a core processor.
Procedure
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.
3. Set the density characterization parameters: D1, D2, TC, K1, K2, and FD. (TC is sometimes shown as
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
2.9.3 Density calibration parameters (D1, D2, K1, K2, FD, DT, TC)
Density calibration parameters are typically on the sensor tag and the calibration certificate.
If your sensor tag does not show a D1 or D2 value:
• For D1, enter the Dens A or D1 value from the calibration certificate. This value is the line-condition
density of the low-density calibration fluid. Micro Motion uses air. If you cannot find a Dens A or D1 value,
enter 0.001 g/cm3.
• For D2, enter the Dens B or D2 value from the calibration certificate. This value is the line-condition density
of the high-density calibration fluid. Micro Motion uses water. If you cannot find a Dens B or D2 value,
enter 0.998 g/cm3 .
If your sensor tag does not show a K1 or K2 value:
• For K1, enter the first five digits of the density calibration factor. In this sample tag, this value is shown as
12500.
• For K2, enter the second five digits of the density calibration factor. In this sample tag, this value is shown
as 14286.

2.10 Verify mass flow measurement
Check to see that the mass flow rate reported by the transmitter is accurate. You can use any available
method.
Procedure
• Read the value for Mass Flow Rate on the transmitter display.
• Connect to the transmitter with ProLink III and read the value for Mass Flow Rate in the Process Variables
panel.
Postrequisites
If the reported mass flow rate is not accurate:
• Check the characterization parameters.
• Review the troubleshooting suggestions for flow measurement issues.
2.11 Verify the zero
Display
ProLink III Device Tools → Calibration → Smart Zero Verification and Calibration → Verify Zero
DeltaV AMS Service Tools → Maintenance → Calibration → Zero Calibration → Perform Zero Verify
Siemens PDM Diagnostics → Maintenance → Calibration → Zero Calibration → Perform Zero Verify
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.
Menu → Service Tools → Verification & Calibration → Meter Zero → Zero Verification
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.
Postrequisites
Restore normal flow through the sensor by opening the valves.

3 Introduction to configuration and commissioning
3.1 Security and write protection
The transmitter has several features that can help to protect it against intentional or unintentional access and
configuration changes.
• When locked, the mechanical lock switch on the front of the display prevents any configuration changes
to the transmitter from any local or remote configuration tool. A transmitter without a display does not
have a lock switch.
• When enabled, the software setting Write Protection prevents any configuration changes. The setting
can only be enabled if the transmitter does not have a display.
• If the Universal Service Port (USP) is disabled, the port cannot be used by any service tool to communicate
with or make changes to the transmitter.
• When enabled, Security prevents any configuration changes being made from the display unless the
appropriate password is entered.
• When enabled, the PROFIBUS PA write lock prevents any configuration changes being written from the
PROFIBUS PA segment.
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's 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

3.1.2 Lock or unlock the transmitter
If the transmitter has a display, a mechanical switch on the display can be used to lock or unlock the
transmitter. When locked, no configuration changes can be made using any configuration tool.
Figure 3-1: Lock switch on transmitter display
You can determine whether you need to lock or unlock the transmitter by looking at the switch.
• If the switch is in the right position, the transmitter is locked.
• If the switch is in the left position, the transmitter is unlocked.
Note
The top switch is reserved for future use.
Procedure
1.
2. Remove the transmitter housing cover.

ProLink III Not available
DeltaV AMS Configure → Manual Setup → Security and Simulation → Enable/Disable Service Port
Siemens PDM Device → Manual Setup → Security and Simulation → Enable/Disable Service Port
The service port is enabled by default, so you can use it for transferring files or connect to it with ProLink III. If
you want to completely prevent it from being used, you can disable it.
Note
Enabling or disabling the service port will not take effect until power has been cycled to the transmitter.
WARNING
Do not use the service port if the transmitter is in a hazardous area because using the service port means
that you must open the transmitter wiring compartment. Opening the wiring compartment in a hazardous
area while the transmitter is powered up can cause an explosion resulting in injury or death.

ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → Process Measurement → Flow → Sensor Direction
DeltaV AMS Configure → Manual Setup → Measurements → Flow → Sensor Direction
Siemens PDM Device → Manual Setup → Measurements → Flow → Sensor Direction
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, the PROFIBUS PA host, and all other user interfaces.

Display
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → Process Measurement → Flow → Flow Rate Damping
DeltaV AMS Configure → Manual Setup → Measurements → Flow → Damping
Siemens PDM Device → Manual Setup → Measurements → 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).
Menu → Configuration → Process Measurement → Flow Variables → Flow Damping
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.
32 Micro Motion 5700 Transmitters with PROFIBUS-PA
Page 33
Configuration and Use Manual Configure process measurement
MMI- 20070546 June 2021
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.
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, Micro Motion 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 via the 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.

Mass Flow Cutoff specifies the lowest mass flow rate that will be reported as measured. All mass flow rates
below this cutoff will be reported as 0.
Procedure
Set Mass Flow Cutoff to the value you want to use.
• Default: A sensor-specific value set at the factory. If your transmitter was ordered without a sensor, the
default may be 0.0.
• 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 via the mA Output. If mA Output Process
Variable is set to Mass Flow Rate, the mass flow rate reported via the 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 via the 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.

DeltaV AMS Configure → Manual Setup → Measurements → Density → Damping
Siemens PDM Device → Manual Setup → Measurements → Density → Damping
Menu → Configuration → Process Measurement → Density → Damping
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
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 Density Damping to the desired value.
• Default: 1.28 seconds
• Range: 0.0 to 60 seconds
Tip
• A high damping value makes the process variable appear smoother because the reported value changes
slowly.
Configuration and Use Manual 45
Page 46
Configure process measurement Configuration and Use Manual
June 2021 MMI- 20070546
• 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
between the actual measurement and the damped value.
• If a number greater than 60 is entered, it is automatically changed to 60.
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 the 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 via the 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 the mA Output.

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.

4.10 Piecewise linearization (PWL) for calibrating gas
meters
Piecewise linearization (PWL) can linearize the measurements of flow meters for greater accuracy in order to
measure gas over a wide range of flow rates. PWL does not apply when measuring liquid flow. When better
accuracy is required over the published gas measurement specifications, an Emerson-approved independent
gas laboratory can calibrate gas up to 10 PWL adjustment points.
For more information, see the white paper, The Practical Application of Multi-Point Piecewise Linear Interpolation
(PWL) and Other Developing Trends with Coriolis Meters for Natural Gas Custody Transfer Applications, available at
www.emerson.com.
The PWL feature is available in ProLink III, so you can view the points that are stored and capture them in the
uploaded and downloaded configuration files.

5.2 Set up concentration measurement
The concentration measurement application calculates concentration from line density and line temperature.
5.2.1 Preparing to set up concentration measurement
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 .
• A concentration matrix must be loaded into one of the six slots on the transmitter.
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.
• 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.
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's 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.
Configuration and Use Manual 65
Page 66
Configure process measurement applications Configuration and Use Manual
June 2021 MMI- 20070546
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's 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's 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.
Optional tasks in setting up concentration measurement
The following tasks are optional:
• Modifying names and labels
• Configuring extrapolation alerts

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.

5.2.4 Set up concentration measurement using a PROFIBUS PA host
This section guides you through most of the tasks related to setting up and implementing the concentration
measurement application.
Enable concentration measurement using a PROFIBUS PA host
DeltaV AMS
Siemens PDM view → Overview → Device Information → Licenses → Enable/Disable Applications
The concentration measurement application must be enabled before you can perform any setup. If the
concentration measurement application was enabled at the factory, you do not need to enable it now.
Prerequisites
Overview → Device Information → Licenses → Enable/Disable Applications
The concentration measurement application must be licensed on your transmitter.
Disable the following applications before enabling concentration measurement as concentration
measurement cannot be enabled at the same time:
• API Referral

• Piecewise linearization (PWL)
• Gas Standard Volume
Procedure
1. Ensure that Flow Type is set to Liquid Volume Flow.
2. Ensure that the API Referral and piecewise linearization (PWL) are disabled.
3. Ensure that the Advance Phase Measurement Output Type is either disabled or set to liquid with gas
continuous flow or liquid with gas variable flow.
4. Execute the concentration measurement method. This method sets the device application for
concentration measurement.
Set reference temperature values for specific gravity using a PROFIBUS PA host
DeltaV AMS Configure → Manual Setup → Measurements → Optional Setup → Concentration Measurement
Siemens PDM Device → Manual Setup → Measurements → Optional Setup → Concentration Measurement
When Derived Variable is set to any option based on specific gravity, you must set the reference temperature
for water, then verify the density of water at the configured reference temperature. These values affect
specific gravity measurement.
The PROFIBUS PA host shows only the 10 point linearization table values.
Check the setting of Configure Concentration Measurement → Derived Variable.
Important
Do not change the setting of Derived Variable. If you change the setting of Derived Variable, all existing
concentration matrices will be deleted from transmitter memory.
Procedure
1. Set Configure Matrix → Matrix Being Configured to the matrix you want to modify.
2. Choose Reference Conditions, then perform the following actions:
a) Set Reference Temperature to the temperature to which line density will be corrected for use in
the specific gravity calculation.
b) Set Water Reference Temperature to the water temperature that will be used in the specific
gravity calculation.
c) Set Water Reference Density to the density of water at the specified reference temperature.
The transmitter automatically calculates the density of water at the specified temperature. The
new value will be displayed the next time that transmitter memory is read. Optionally, you can
enter a different value.

Siemens PDM Device → Manual Setup → Measurements → Optional Setup → Concentration Measurement →
Configure Matrix
Configure Matrix
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.
Procedure
1. Set Matrix Selection → Matrix Being Configured to the matrix you want to modify.
2. Set Extrapolation Alert → Limit to the point, in percent, at which an extrapolation alert will be posted.
3. Choose one of the following options based on the tool you are using:
• For DeltaV AMS, Configure → Alert Setup → Concentration Measurement Alerts
• For Siemens PDM, Device → Alert Setup → Concentration Measurement Alerts
4. Enable or disable the high and low alerts for temperature and density, as desired.
Example: Extrapolation alerts in action
If Extrapolation Limit is set to 5%, High Limit (Temp) is enabled, and the active matrix is built for a
temperature range of 40 °F (4.4 °C) to 80 °F (26.7 °C), a high-temperature extrapolation alert will be posted if
line temperature goes above 82 °F (27.8 °C).
Select the active concentration matrix using a PROFIBUS PA host
DeltaV AMS
Siemens PDM Device → Manual Setup → Measurements → Optional Setup → Concentration Measurement
You must select the concentration matrix to be used for measurement. Although the transmitter can store up
to six concentration matrices, only one matrix can be used for measurement at any one time.

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.

Device → Manual Setup → Measurements → Two-Phase Flow → Low Limit
Siemens PDM
Device → Manual Setup → Measurements → Two-Phase Flow → High Limit
Device → Manual Setup → Measurements → Two-Phase Flow → Duration
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
2. Set Two-Phase Flow High Limit to the highest density value that is considered normal in your process.
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
3. 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.
Prerequisites
Channel B must be configured as mA Output.
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
6.3 Configure Flow Rate Switch

ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → I/O → Outputs → Discrete Output → Source → Flow Switch Indication
DeltaV AMS Configure → Manual Setup → Mapping/Source → Output Source → Discrete Output Source
Siemens PDM Device → Manual Setup → Mapping/Source → Output Source → Discrete Output Source
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
Channel C must be configured as a Discrete Output.
Procedure
1. Set Discrete Output Source to Flow Switch, if you have not already done so.
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.
Configuration and Use Manual 83
Page 84
Configure advanced options for process measurement Configuration and Use Manual
June 2021 MMI- 20070546
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.

An enhanced event is used to provide notification of process changes and, optionally, to perform specific
transmitter actions if the event occurs. An enhanced event occurs (is ON) if the real-time value of a userspecified process variable moves above (HI) or below (LO) a user-defined setpoint, or in range (IN) or out of
range (OUT) with respect to two user-defined setpoints.
You can define up to five enhanced events. For each enhanced event, you can assign one or more actions that
the transmitter will perform if the enhanced event occurs.
Procedure

The transmitter provides seven configurable totalizers and seven configurable inventories. Each totalizer and
each inventory can be configured independently.
Totalizers track the process since the last totalizer reset. Inventories track the process since the last inventory
reset. Inventories are typically used to track the process across totalizer resets.
Tip
The default configurations cover the most typical uses of totalizers and inventories. You may not need to
change any configurations.
Prerequisites
Before configuring the totalizers and inventories, ensure that the process variables you plan to track are
available on the transmitter.
Procedure

4. Optional: Set User Name to the name you want to use for the inventory or totalizer.
User Name can have a maximum of 16 characters.
The transmitter automatically generates a name for each totalizer and inventory, based on its source,
direction, and type.
Example
• Totalizer Source=Mass Flow
• Totalizer Direction=Forward Only
• Totalizer name=Mass Fwd Total
Example
• Inventory Source=Gas Standard Volume Flow
• Inventory Direction=Bidirectional
• Inventory name = GSV Bidir Inv
The specified name is used on the transmitter display and on all interfaces that support it. If User Name
contains only spaces, the transmitter-generated name is used. Not all interfaces support totalizer and
inventory names.
Example: Checking for backflow
You suspect that there is a significant amount of backflow through the sensor. To collect data, configure two
totalizers as follows:
• Source=Mass Flow, Direction=Forward Only
• Source=Mass Flow, Direction=Reverse Only
Reset both totalizers, allow them to run for an appropriate period, then look at the amount of reverse flow as
a percentage of forward flow.
Example: Tracking three different process fluids
Three tanks are connected to a loading dock through a single meter. Each tank contains a different process
fluid. You want to track each process fluid separately.
1. Set up three totalizers, one for each tank.
2. Name the totalizers Tank 1, Tank 2, and Tank 3.

6.7.2 Interaction between Process Variable Fault Action and other fault actions
The setting of Process Variable Fault Action affects the operation of the mA Outputs, Frequency Outputs,
and Discrete Outputs if the corresponding output fault actions are set to None.
Interaction between Process Variable Fault Action and mA Output Fault Action
If mA Output Fault Action is set to None, the mA Output signal depends on the setting of Process Variable
Fault Action.
If the device detects a fault condition:
1. Process Variable Fault Action is evaluated and applied.
2. mA Output Fault Action is evaluated.
• If it is set to None, the output reports the value associated with the setting of Process Variable
Fault Action.
• If it is set to any other option, the output performs the specified fault action.
If you want the mA Output to continue to report process data during fault conditions, you must set both mA
Output Fault Action and Process Variable Fault Action to None.
Interaction between Process Variable Fault Action and Frequency Output Fault Action
If Frequency Output Fault Action is set to None, the Frequency Output signal depends on the setting of
Process Variable Fault Action.
If the device detects a fault condition:
1. Process Variable Fault Action is evaluated and applied.
2. Frequency Output Fault Action is evaluated.
• If it is set to None, the output reports the value associated with the setting of Process Variable
Fault Action.
• If it is set to any other option, the output performs the specified fault action.
If you want the Frequency Output to continue to report process data during fault conditions, you must set
both Frequency Output Fault Action and Process Variable Fault Action to None.
Interaction between Process Variable Fault Action and Discrete Output Fault Action
If Discrete Output Fault Action is set to None and Discrete Output Source is set to Flow Rate Switch, the
Discrete Output state during a fault depends on the setting of Process Variable Fault Action.
If the device detects a fault condition:
1. Process Variable Fault Action is evaluated and applied.
2. Discrete Output Fault Action is evaluated.
• If it is set to None, and Discrete Output Source is set to Flow Rate Switch, the Discrete Output will
use the value determined by the current setting of Process Variable Fault Action to determine if a
flow rate switch has occurred.

Configuration and Use Manual Configure advanced options for process measurement
MMI- 20070546 June 2021
• If Discrete Output Source is set to any other option, the setting of Process Variable Fault Action is
irrelevant to the behavior of the Discrete Output during fault conditions. The Discrete Output is set
to the specified fault action.
If you want the Discrete Output to report a flow rate switch appropriately during fault conditions, you must
set both Discrete Output Fault Action and Process Variable Fault Action to None.

Display
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → Transmitter Display → Display Variables
DeltaV AMS Configure → Manual Setup → Display → Display Variables
Siemens PDM Device → Manual Setup → Display → Display Variables
You can control the process variables shown on the display and the order in which they appear. The display
can scroll through up to 15 process variables in any order you choose. This configuration applies to both autoscroll and manual scrolling.
By default, one process variable is shown at a time. You can configure a custom display screen that shows two
process variables at a time.
Restriction
You cannot remove all display variables. At least one display variable must be configured.
Notes
• If you have a display variable configured to show a volume process variable, and you change Volume Flow
Type to Gas Standard Volume, the display variable is automatically changed to the equivalent GSV
variable, and vice versa.
Menu → Configuration → Display Settings → Display Variables
• For all other display variables, if the process variable becomes unavailable due to changes in configuration,
the transmitter will not display that variable.
