RTD or ohm inputs
Various RTD configurations, including 2-wire and 3-wire are used in industrial applications. If the
transmitter is mounted remotely from a 3-wire RTD, it will operate within specifications,
without recalibration, for lead wire resistances of up to 60 ohms per lead (equivalent to 6,000
feet of 20 AWG wire). If using a 2-wire RTD, both RTD leads are in series with the sensor element,
so errors can occur if the lead lengths exceed one foot of 20 AWG wire. Compensation for this
error is provided when using 3-wire RTDs.

Thermocouple or millivolt inputs
Use appropriate thermocouple extension wire to connect the thermocouple to the transmitter.
Make connections for millivolt inputs using copper wire. Use shielding for long runs of wire.
Analog inputs
The analog connector converts the 4–20 mA signal to a 20–100 mV signal that can be read by
the 848T and transmitted using F
Use the following steps when installing the 848T with the analog connector:
1.The 848T, when ordered with option code S002, comes with four analog connectors.
Replace the standard connector with the analog connector on the desired channels.
2.Wire one or two analog transmitters to the analog connector according to Figure 2-6.

2.3.2Power supply
Connections
The transmitter requires between 9 and 32 VDC to operate and provide complete functionality.
The DC power supply should provide power with less than 2% ripple. A fieldbus segment
requires a power conditioner to isolate the power supply filter and decouple the segment from
other segments attached to the same power supply.
All power to the transmitter is supplied over the signal wiring. Signal wiring should be shielded,
twisted pair for best results in electrically noisy environments. Do not use unshielded signal
wiring in open trays with power wiring or near heavy electrical equipment.
Use ordinary copper wire of sufficient size to ensure the voltage across the transmitter power
terminals does not go below 9 VDC. The power terminals are polarity insensitive. To power the
transmitter:
1.Connect the power leads to the terminals marked “Bus,” as shown in Figure 2-8.
2.Tighten the terminal screws to ensure adequate contact. No additional power wiring is
necessary.

2.3.3Surges/transients
The transmitter will withstand electrical transients encountered through static discharges or
induced switching transients. However, a transient protection option (option code T1) is
available to protect the 848T against high-energy transients. The device must be properly
grounded using the ground terminal (see Figure 2-8).
2.4Grounding
The 848T transmitter provides input/output isolation up to 620 V rms.
Note
Neither conductor of the fieldbus segment can be grounded. Grounding out one of the signal
wires will shut down the entire fieldbus segment.

After configuring the transmitter, the data can be protected from unwarranted changes. Each
848T is equipped with a security switch that can be positioned “ON” to prevent the accidental
or deliberate change of configuration data. This switch is located on the front side of the
electronics module and is labeled SECURITY.
See Figure 2-9 for switch location on the transmitter label.

The switch labeled SIMULATE ENABLE is used in conjunction with the Analog Input (AI) and
Multiple Analog Input (MAI) function blocks. This switch is used to simulate temperature
measurement.
Not used
The switch is not functional.
2.6Tagging
Commissioning tag
The 848T has been supplied with a removable commissioning tag that contains both the Device
ID (the unique code that identifies a particular device in the absence of a device tag) and a space
to record the device tag [the operational identification for the device as defined by the Piping
and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID)].
When commissioning more than one device on a fieldbus segment, it can be difficult to identify
which device is at a particular location. The removable tag, provided with the transmitter, can
aid in this process by linking the Device ID to its physical location. The installer should note the
physical location of the transmitter on both the upper and lower location of the commissioning
tag. The bottom portion should be torn off for each device on the segment and used for
commissioning the segment in the control system.

Status handling
There are no status parameters associated with the resource block.
3.4.2Field Diagnostics & PlantWeb Alerts
The 848T ITK6 has two mechanisms for alarms, one is Field Diagnostics (FD) and other is
PlantWeb Alerts (PWA) for backward compatibility only.
The flexible capability has been added to allow user to select any alarm to be in the PWA
FAILED/FD FAILED group or PWA MAINTENANCE/FD OFFSPEC group or PWA ADVISE/FD
MAINTENANCE group or PWA ADVISE/FD CHECK group.
In PlantWeb Alerts, the alarms can be represented in three groups i.e. FAILED, MAINT & ADVISE.
In Field Diagnostic, the alarms can be represented in four groups i.e. FAILED, OFFSPEC, MAINT &
CHECK.
Parameter FAILED_PRI is used as a switch for using Field Diagnostic and PlantWeb Alerts.
How to use Field Diagnostic Alarm
If FAILED_PRI is equal to 0, Field Diagnostic alarms are supported and PlantWeb alarms are not.
Field Diagnostic functionality includes four different Field Diagnostic Alarms such as
FD_FAIL_ALM, FD_OFFSPEC_ALM, FD_MAINT_ALM and FD_CHECK_ALM. For these alarms,
there are corresponding alarm priority parameter, masking parameter alarm active and alarm
mapping parameter such as FD_*_PRI, FD_*_MASK & FD_*_ACTIVE & FD_*_MAP.
How to use PlantWeb Alarm
If FAILED_PRI is greater than 0, PlantWeb alarms are supported and Field Diagnostic are not.
PlantWeb functionality includes three different PlantWeb Alarms FAILED_ALM, MAINT_ ALM
and ADVISE_ ALM. For PlantWeb Alerts, there are corresponding alarm masking parameter,
alarm active parameter and alarm mapping parameter such as *_MASK, *_ACTIVE & *_ENABLE.
These parameters have Read only access and are duplicated from corresponding FD parameters.
So for example, in case of PWA alarms, if user wishes to change the mapping of any PlantWeb
Alerts then the new value is written to the corresponding FD_*_MAP parameter. *_ENABLE shall
reflect whatever is being written to FD_*_MAP parameter. The same applies for *_MASK
parameters.
Note
Here * implies all 4 categories of FD alerts for e.g. FD_*_ACTIVE resembles FD_FAIL_ACTIVE,
FD_OFFSPEC_ACTIVE, FD_MAINT_ACTIVE & FD_CHECK ACTIVE.
The similar notation is also applicable for PWA alarms for e.g. FD_*_ACTIVE resembles
FAIL_ACTIVE, MAINT_ACTIVE & ADVISE ACTIVE.

3.4.3PlantWeb alerts
The alerts and recommended actions should be used in conjunction with “Operation and
Maintenance” on page 53.
The Resource Block will act as a coordinator for PlantWeb alerts. There will be three alarm
parameters (FAILED_ALARM, MAINT_ALARM, and ADVISE_ALARM) which will contain
information regarding some of the device errors which are detected by the transmitter
software. There will be a RECOMMENDED_ACTION parameter which will be used to display the
recommended action text for the highest priority alarm and a HEALTH_INDEX parameters (0 -
100) indicating the overall health of the transmitter. FAILED_ALARM will have the highest
priority followed by MAINT_ALARM and ADVISE_ALARM will be the lowest priority.
FAILED_ALARMS
A failure alarm indicates a failure within a device that will make the device or some part of the
device non-operational. This implies that the device is in need of repair and must be fixed
immediately. There are five parameters associated with FAILED_ALARMS specifically, they are
described below.
FAILED_ENABLED

The transducer block supports two modes of operation as defined by the MODE_BLK
parameter:
Configuration
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4697, Rev GA
Automatic (Auto)
The block outputs reflect the analog input measurement.
Out of Service (OOS)
The block is not processed. Channel outputs are not updated and the status is set to Bad: Out of
Service for each channel. The BLOCK_ERR parameter shows Out of Service. In this mode,
changes can be made to all configurable parameters. The target mode of a block may be
restricted to one or more of the supported modes.
Transducer block alarm detection
Alarms are not generated by the transducer block. By correctly handling the status of the
channel values, the down stream block (AI or MAI) will generate the necessary alarms for the
measurement. The error that generated this alarm can be determined by looking at BLOCK-ERR
and XD_ERROR.
Transducer block status handling
Normally, the status of the output channels reflect the status of the measurement value, the
operating condition of the measurement electronics card, and any active alarm conditions. In a
transducer, PV reflects the value and status quality of the output channels.

Changing the sensor configuration in the transducer block
If the FOUNDATION fieldbus configuration tool or host system does not support the use of DD
methods for device configuration, the following steps illustrate how to change the sensor
configuration in the transducer block:
1.Set the MODE_BLK.TARGET to OOS, or set the SENSOR_MODE to configuration.
2.Set SENSOR_n_CONFIG.SENSOR to the appropriate sensor type, and then set
SENSOR_n_CONFIG.CONNECTION to the appropriate type and connection.
3.In the Transducer Block, set MODE_BLK.TARGET to AUTO, or set the SENSOR_MODE to
operation.

Instructions and procedures in this section may require special precautions to ensure the safety
of the personnel performing the operations. Information that potentially raises safety issues is
indicated by a warning symbol ( ). Refer to the following safety messages before performing
an operation preceded by this symbol.
4.1.1Warnings
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation.
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
Do not remove the thermowell while in operation. Removing while in operation may
cause process fluid leaks.
Install and tighten thermowells and sensors before applying pressure, or process
leakage may result.
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury.
If the senor is installed in a high voltage environment and a fault condition or
installation error occurs, high voltage may be present on transmitter leads and
terminals.
Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.
4.2FOUNDATION™ fieldbus information
FOUNDATION fieldbus is an all-digital, serial, two-way, multi-drop communication protocol that
interconnects devices such as transmitters and valve controllers. It is a local area network (LAN)
for instruments that enable basic control and I/O to be moved to the field devices. The Model
848T uses F
Management and the other members of the independent Fieldbus Foundation.

4.2.1Commissioning (addressing)
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4697, Rev GA
To be able to setup, configure, and have it communicate with other devices on a segment, a
device must be assigned a permanent address. Unless requested otherwise, it is assigned a
temporary address when shipped from the factory.
If there are two or more devices on a segment with the same address, the first device to start up
will use the assigned address (ex. Address 20). Each of the other devices will be given one of the
four available temporary addresses. If a temporary address is not available, the device will be
unavailable until a temporary address becomes available.
Use the host system documentation to commission a device and assign a permanent address.
4.3Hardware maintenance
The 848T has no moving parts and requires a minimal amount of scheduled maintenance. If a
malfunction is suspected, check for an external cause before performing the diagnostics
presented below.
4.3.1Sensor check
To determine whether the sensor is causing the malfunction, connect a sensor calibrator or
simulator locally at the transmitter. Consult an Emerson Process Management
representative for additional temperature sensor and accessory assistance.
4.3.2Communication/power check
If the transmitter does not communicate or provides an erratic output, check for adequate
54
voltage to the transmitter. The transmitter requiresbetween 9.0 and 32.0 VDC at the terminals
to operate with complete functionality. Check for wire shorts, open circuits, and multiple
grounds.

4.3.3Resetting the configuration (RESTART)
There are two types of restarts available in the Resource Block. The following section outlines
the usage for each of these. For further information, see RESTART in Table 3-2 on page 3-25.
Restart processor (cycling)
Performing a Restart Processor has the same effect as removing power from the device and
reapplying power.
Restart with defaults
Performing a Restart with Defaults resets the static parameters for all of the blocks to their initial
state. This is commonly used to change the configuration and/or control strategy of the device,
including any custom configurations done at the Rosemount factory.

The AI and ISEL function blocks allow the user to configure the alarms to HI-HI, HI, LO, or LO-LO
with a variety of priority levels and hysteresis settings.
A.1.12Backup Link Active Scheduler (LAS)
The transmitter is classified as a device link master, which means it can function as a Link Active
Scheduler (LAS) if the current link master device fails or is removed from the segment.
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4697, Rev GA
The host or other configuration tool is used to download the schedule for the application to the
link master device. In the absence of a primary link master, the transmitter will claim the LAS and
provide permanent control for the H1 segment.
The Rosemount 848T can be mounted directly onto a DIN rail or it can be ordered with an
optional junction box. When using the optional junction box, the transmitter can be mounted
onto a panel or a 2-in. pipe stand (with option code B6).

FOUNDATION fieldbus is an all-digital, serial, two-way, multi-drop communication protocol that
interconnects devices such as transmitters, sensors, actuators, and valve controllers. Fieldbus is
a Local Area Network (LAN) for instruments that are used in both process and manufacturing
automation, having the built-in capability to distribute the control applications across the
network. The fieldbus environment is the base level group of digital networks and the hierarchy
of plant networks.

The F
OUNDATION fieldbus retains the desirable features of the 4–20 mA analog system, including
standardized physical interface to the wire, bus-powered devices on a single pair of wires, and
intrinsic safety options. It also enables the following capabilities:
Increased capabilities due to full digital communication.
Reduced wiring and wire terminations due to multiple devices on one pair of wires.
Increased supplier selection due to interoperability
Reduced loading on control room equipment due to the distribution of some control
and input/output functions to field devices.
F
OUNDATION fieldbus devices work together to provide I/O and control for automated processes
and operations. The Fieldbus Foundation provides a framework for describing these systems as
a collection of physical devices interconnected by a fieldbus network. One of the ways that the
physical devices are used is to perform their portion of the total system operation by
implementing one or more function blocks.
C.2Function blocks
Function blocks perform process control functions, such as analog input (AI) and analog output
(AO) functions as well as proportional-integral-derivative (PID) functions. The standard function
blocks provide a common structure for defining function block inputs, outputs, control
parameters, events, alarms, and modes, and combining them into a process that can be
implemented within a single device or over the fieldbus network. This simplifies the
identification of characteristics that are common to function blocks.
The Fieldbus Foundation has established the function blocks by defining a small set of
parameters used in all function blocks called universal parameters. The F
defined a standard set of function block classes, such as input, output, control, and calculation
blocks. Each of these classes has a small set of parameters established for it. They have also
published definitions for transducer blocks commonly used with standard function blocks.
Examples include temperature, pressure, level, and flow transducer blocks.

The Fieldbus Foundation specifications and definitions allow vendors to add their own
parameters by importing and subclassing specified classes. This approach permits extending
function block definitions as new requirements are discovered and as technology advances.
Figure C-1 illustrates the internal structure of a function block. When execution begins, input
parameter values from other blocks are snapped-in by the block. The input snap process ensures
that these values do not change during the block execution. New values received for these
parameters do not affect the snapped values and will not be used by the function block during
the current execution.

Once the inputs are snapped, the algorithm operates on them, generating outputs as it
progresses. Algorithm executions are controlled through the setting of contained parameters.
Contained parameters are internal to function blocks and do not appear as normal input and
output parameters. However, they may be accessed and modified remotely, as specified by the
function block.
Input events may affect the operation of the algorithm. An execution control function regulates
the receipt of input events and the generation of output events during execution of the
algorithm. Upon completion of the algorithm, the data internal to the block is saved for use in
the next execution, and the output data is snapped, releasing it for use by other function blocks.
A block is a tagged logical processing unit. The tag is the name of the block. System
management services locate a block by its tag. Thus the service personnel need only know the
tag of the block to access or change the appropriate block parameters.
Function blocks are also capable of performing short-term data collection and storage for
reviewing their behavior.
C.3Device descriptions
Device descriptions (DD) are specified tool definitions that are associated with the Resource and
Transducer Blocks. Device descriptions provide the definition and description of the function
blocks and their parameters.
To promote consistency of definition and understanding, descriptive information, such as data
type and length, is maintained in the device description. Device Descriptions are written using
90
an open language called the Device Description Language (DDL). Parameter transfers between
function blocks can be easily verified because all parameters are described using the same
language. Once written, the device description can be stored on an external medium, such as a
CD-ROM or diskette. Users can then read the device description from the external medium. The
use of an open language in the device description permits interoperability of function blocks
