For reference information on the LCD Transducer and Advanced Diagnostics
Transducer blocks refer to “Fou ndation Fieldbus Block Information” on
page A-1. Reference information on the ISEL, INT, ARTH, SGCR and PID
blocks can be found in the Function Block manual document number
00809-0100-4783.
Resource Block (1000)
The Resource block contains diagnostic, hardware and electronics
information. There are no linkable inputs or outputs to the Resource Block.
LCD Transducer Block (1100)
The LCD Transducer Block is used to configure the LCD meter.
PID Block (1200)
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.
Input Selector Block (1300)
The Input Selector (ISEL) Function Block can be used to select the first good,
Hot Backup, maximum, minimum, or average of as many as eight input
values and place it at the output. The block supports signal status
propagation.
Signal Characterizer Block (1400)
The Signal Characterizer (SGCR) Function Block characterizes or
approximates any function that defines an input/output relationship. The
function is defined by configuring as many as twenty X,Y coordinates. The
block interpolates an output value for a given input value using the curve
defined by the configured coordinates. Two separate analog input signals can
be processed simultaneously to give two corresponding separate output
values using the same defined curve.
Arithmetic Block (1500)
The Arithmetic (ARTH) Function Block provides the ability to configure a
range extension function for a primary input. It can also be used to compute
nine different arithmetic functions.
Integrator Block (1600)
The Integrator (INT) Function Block integrates one or two variables over time.
The block compares the integrated or accumulated value to pre-trip and trip
limits and generates discrete output signals when the limits are reached.

INSTALLATION OF THE
ROSEMOUNT 752
Set Switches Security (Write Protect)
Changes can be prevented to the indicator configuration data with the write
protection PlantWeb housing switches. Security is controlled by the security
(write protect) switch/jumper located on the interface assembly or terminal
block. Position the switch/jumper in the “ON” position to prevent accide ntal or
deliberate change of configuration data.
If the indicator write protection switch/jumper is in the “ON” position, the
indicator will not accept any “writes” to its memory. Configuration changes
cannot take place when the indicator security is on.
To reposition the switches/jumpers, follow the procedure described
below. (Simulate = fieldbus protocol)
1. Set the loop to manual and remove power.
2. Remove the electronics compartment cover, opposite the field terminal
side on the PlantWeb housing. Do not remove the indicator covers in
explosive atmospheres when the circuit is live.
3. Slide the security and simulate switches into the preferred position by
using a small screwdriver.

2. Connect the power leads to the terminals marked “FIELDBUS WIRING”
as shown in Figure 2 -2 . Th e power te rm in als ar e no t po lar ity se nsitive.
3. Plug and seal unused conduit connec tions on the indic at or hous ing to
avoid moisture accumulation in the terminal side. If you do not seal
unused connections, mount the indicator with the electrical housing
positioned downward for drainage. Install wiring with a drip loop . Arrange
the drip loop so the bottom is lower than the conduit connections and the
indicator housing.
NOTE
Do not apply high voltage (e.g. ac line voltage) to the indicator terminals.
Abnormally high voltage can damage the unit. (Indicator power terminals are
rated to 32 V dc).
Electrical Considerations
Proper electrical installation is necessary to prevent errors due to improper
grounding and electrical noise. Shielded, twisted pair cable should be
used for best results in electrically noisy environments. Cable Type A is
recommended by F
Power Supply
The indicator requires between 9 and 32 V dc (9 and 15 V dc for FISCO) to
operate and provide complete functionality. The dc power supply should
provide power with less than 2% ripple.
Power Conditioner
A fieldbus segment requires a power conditione r to isolate the power
supply filter and decouple the segment from othe r seg m en ts attached to
the same power supply.
Grounding
Signal wiring of the fieldbus segment can not be grounded. Ground ing out
one of the signal wires will shut down the entire fieldbus segment.

Shield Wire Ground
To protect the fieldbus segment from noise, grounding techniques for
shield wire usually require a single grounding point for shield wire to avoid
creating a ground loop. The ground point is typically at the power supply.
Surges/Transients
The indicator will withstand electrical transients of the energy level usually
encountered in static discharges or induced switching transients. However ,
high-energy transients, such as those induced in wiring from nearby
lightning strikes, can damage the indicator.
Optional Transient Protection Terminal Block
The transient protection terminal block can be ordered as an installed
option (Option Code T1 in the indicator model number) or as a spare part.
The spare part number is 03151-4134-0002. The lightning bolt symbol
shown identifies it as a transient protection terminal block.
NOTE
The fieldbus physical layer specification requires indicator communication
during extreme operating conditions of 250 V
transient terminal block was designed to limit common mode voltages to 90 V
and cannot be used in these extreme operating conditions.

GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS
Tagging Commissioning (Paper) Tag on a fieldbus segment
When commissioning more than one device on a fieldbus segment, it can be
difficult to identify which device is at a particular location. A removable tag
provided with the indicator can aid in this process by linking the Device ID and
a physical location. The Device ID is a unique code that identifies a particular
device in the absence of a device tag. The device t ag is us ed by the customer
as an operational identification for the device and is usually defined by the
Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P & ID).
The installer should note the physical location in both places on the
removable commissioning tag and tear off the bottom portion. This should be
done for each device on the segment. The bottom portion of the tags can be
used for commissioning the segment in the control system, providing a direct
link between the Device ID and the tag location.

Grounding the
Indicator Case
The 752 Remote Indicator has explosion-proof housing and circuitry suitable
for intrinsically safe and non-incendive operation. Individual indicators are
clearly marked with a tag indicating the certifications they carry. See
Appendix B: Product Certificates for installation drawings.
NOTE
Once a device labeled with multiple approvals is installed, it should not be
reinstalled using any other approval type(s). Permanently mark the
certification label to distinguish the installed approval type from unused
approval types.
Always ground the indicator case in accordance with national and local
electrical codes. The most effective indicator case grounding method is a
direct connection to earth ground with minimal impedance. Methods for
grounding the indicator case include:
• Internal Ground Connection: The Internal Ground Connection screw
is inside the terminal side of the electronics housing. The screw is
identified by a ground symbol ( ), and is standard on the 752 Remote
Indicators.
• External Ground Assembly: Ground screw is located at the bottom of
the mounting bracket.
NOTE
Grounding the indicator case using the threaded conduit connection may not
provide a sufficient ground. The transient protection terminal block (Option
Code T1) will not provide transient protection unless the indicator case is
properly grounded. Use the above guidelines to ground the indicator case. Do
not run transient protection ground wire with signal wiring; the ground wire
may carry excessive current if a lightning strike occurs.

GENERAL BLOCK
INFORMATION
Modes The Resource, Transducer, and all function blocks in the device have modes
of operation. These modes govern the operation of the block. Every block
supports both automatic (AUTO) and out of service (OOS) modes. Othe r
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 LO. Some of these
may be supported by different function blocks in the 752. For more
information, see the Function Block manual, document 00809-0100- 4783.
NOTE
When an upstream block is set to OOS, this will impact the output status of all
downstream blocks. The figure below depicts the hierarchy of blocks:

Link Active Scheduler The 752 can be designated to act as the backup Link Active Scheduler (LAS)
in the event that the LAS is disconnected from the segment. As the backup
LAS, the 752 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 752.
2. To activate the LAS capability, write 0x02 to the
BOOT_OPERAT_FUNCTIONAL_CLASS object (Index 605). To
deactivate, write 0x01.
3. Restart the processor.

The Rosemount 752 supports the use of Function Block In stantiation. When a
device supports block instantiation, the number o f 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 memor y within the device and
the block types that are supported by the device. Instantiation does not apply
to standard device blocks like the Resource and LCD Transducer Block.
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 4.5573% of the “FREE_SPACE”.
Block instantiation is done by the host control system or configuration tool, but
not all hosts are required to implement this functionality. Please refer to your
specific host or configuration tool manual for more information.
