A Fieldbus system is similar to a Distributed Control System (DCS) with two exceptions: • Although a FOUNDATION fieldbus™ system can use the same physical wiring as 4–20 mA device, Fieldbus devices are not connected point to point, but rather are multidropped and wired in parallel on a single pair of wires (referred to as a segment). • FOUNDATION fieldbus™ is a system that allows the user to distribute control across a network. Fieldbus devices are smart and can actually maintain control over the system. Unlike 4–20 mA analog installations in which the two wires carry a single variable (the varying 4–20 mA current), a digital communications scheme such as FOUNDATION fieldbus™ considers the two wires as a network. The network can carry many process variables as well as other information. The PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter is a FOUNDATION fieldbus™ registered device that communicates with the H1 FOUNDATION fieldbus™ protocol operating at 31.25 kbits/sec. The H1 physical layer is an approved IEC 61158 standard. 6234 feet (1900 meters) maximum PC Power Conditioner Terminator Terminator Power Supply Control Room typical Fieldbus Installation Details regarding cable specifications, grounding, termination, and other physical layer network information can be found in IEC 61158 or the wiring installation application guide AG-140 at www.fieldbus.org. 4 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual 1.2 Device Description (DD) An important requirement of Fieldbus devices is the concept of interoperability, defined as “the ability to operate multiple devices in the same system, regardless of manufacturer, without loss of functionality.” Device Description (DD) technology is used to achieve this interoperability. The DD provides extended descriptions for each object and provides pertinent information needed by the host system. DDs are similar to the drivers that your personal computer (PC) uses to operate peripheral devices connected to it. Any Fieldbus host system can operate with a device if it has the proper DD and Common File Format (CFF) for that device. The most recent DD and CFF files can be found on the FOUNDATION fieldbus™ web site at www.fieldbus.org. NOTE: Consult your host system vendor for any host-specific files that may be needed. 1.2.1 FOUndatIOn fieldbus™ dd Revision table FOUndatIOn fieldbus™ Version FOUndatIOn fieldbus™ Release date Compatible with Model R96 Software Dev V1 DD V1 November 2015 Version 1.0a or later 1.3 Link Active Scheduler (LAS) The default operating class of the PULSAR Model R96 FF with FOUNDATION fieldbus™ is a Basic device. However, it is capable of being configured as a Link Active Scheduler (LAS). The LAS controls all communication on a FOUNDATION fieldbus™ segment. It maintains the “Live List” of all devices on a segment and coordinates both the cyclic and acyclic timing. The primary LAS is usually maintained in the host system, but in the event of a failure, all associated control can be transferred to a backup LAS in a field device such as the PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter. NOTES: 1) The PULSAR Model R96 is normally shipped from the factory with Device Class set to Basic. 2) The operating class can be changed from Basic to LAS using a FOUNDATION fieldbus™ configuration tool. 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual 5 1.4 Intrinsic Safety The H1 physical layer supports Intrinsic Safety (IS) applications with bus-powered devices. To accomplish this, an Intrinsically Safe barrier or galvanic isolator is placed between the power supply in the safe area and the device in the hazardous area. H1 also supports the Fieldbus Intrinsically Safe Concept (FISCO) model which allows more field devices in a network. The FISCO model considers the capacitance and inductance of the wiring to be distributed along its entire length. Therefore, the stored energy during a fault will be less and more devices are permitted on a pair of wires. Instead of the conservative entity model, which only allows about 90 mA of current, the FISCO model allows a maximum of 110 mA for Class II C installations and 240 mA for Class II B installations. FISCO certifying agencies have limited the maximum segment length to 1000 meters because the FISCO model does not rely on standardized ignition curves. The PULSAR Model R96 FF is available with entity IS, FISCO IS, FNICO non-incendive, or explosion proof approvals. 6 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual 2.0 Standard Function Blocks 2.1 Overview The function of a FOUNDATION fieldbus™ device is determined by the arrangement of a system of blocks defined by the Fieldbus foundation. The types of blocks used in a typical User Application are described as either Standard or Advanced. Function Blocks are built into the FOUNDATION fieldbus™ devices as needed to provide the desired control system behavior. The input and output parameters of function blocks can be linked over the Fieldbus and there can be numerous function blocks in a single User Application. Model R96 – transducer Block Model R96 PVs TB1 – Level 1 Level PV Status 2 Distance 3 Echo Strength PV Status AI 1 PV Status 4 Electronics Temperature AI 2 PV Status 5 Echo Margin PV Status AI 3 Process Data AI 4 AI 5 Diagnostic Indicators RB AI 6 NE 107 CF NE 107 Failure NE 107 MR NE 107 Spec Diagram Mapping TB2 – Volume 6 The PULSAR Model R96 FF is a Pulse Burst Radar level transmitter with the following standard FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Function Blocks: • One (1) Resource Block (RB) • Two (2) Custom Transducer Blocks (TB) • Six (6) Analog Input Function Blocks (AI) • Two (2) PID Blocks (PID) With Advanced Function Blocks: • One (1) Arithmetic Block (AR) • One (1) Input Selector Block (IS) • One (1) Signal Characterizer Block (SC) Volume PV Status Diagnostic Indicators Note: Number next to PV refers to channel number in the AI Blocks. The idea of Function Blocks, which a user can customize for a particular application, is a key concept of Fieldbus topology. Function Blocks consist of an algorithm, inputs and outputs, and a user-defined Block Tag. The Transducer Block (TB) output is available to the network through the Analog Input (AI) blocks. Refer to Section 2.3 for additional information on the Transducer Blocks. The AI blocks take the TB values and make them available as an analog value to other function blocks. The AI blocks have scaling conversion, filtering, and alarm functions. Refer to Section 2.4 for additional information on the Analog Input Blocks. As shown in the diagram at left, the end user typically configures the Process Variable value as an Analog Input to their fieldbus network. 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual 7 2.1.1 Universal fieldbus Block Parameters The following are general descriptions of the parameters common to all function blocks. Additional information for a given parameter may be described later in a section that describes the specific block. ST_REV: a read only parameter that gives the revision level of the static data associated with the block. This parameter will be incremented each time a static parameter attribute value is written and is a vehicle for tracking changes in static parameter attributes. TAG_DESC: a user assigned parameter that describes the intended application of any given block. STRATEGY: a user assigned parameter that identifies groupings of blocks associated with a given network connection or control scheme. ALERT_KEY: a user assigned parameter which may be used in sorting alarms or events generated by a block. MODE_BLK: a structured parameter composed of the actual mode, the target mode, the permitted mode(s), and the normal mode of operation of a block. • Target: The mode to “go to” • Actual: The mode the “block is currently in” • Permitted: Allowed modes that target may take on • Normal: Most common mode for target NOTES: 1) It may be required to change the the MODE_BLK target parameter to OOS (out of service) to change configuration parameters in that specific function block. (When in OOS, the normal algorithm is no longer executed and any outstanding alarms are cleared.) 2) All blocks must be in an operating mode for the device to operate. This requires the Resource Block and the Transducer Block to be in “AUTO” before the specific function block can be placed in a mode other than OOS (out of service). BLOCK_ERR: a parameter that reflects the error status of hardware or software components associated with, and directly affecting, the correct operation of a block. NOTE: A BLOCK_ERR of “Simulation Active” in the Resource Block does not mean simulation is active—it merely indicates that the simulation (hardware) enabling jumper is present. (See page 21 and refer to Section 2.4.5 for additional information). 8 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual 2.2 Resource Block The RESOURCE BLOCK describes the characteristics of the FOUNDATION fieldbus™ device such as the device name, manufacturer, and serial number. As it only contains data specific to the PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter, it has no control function. 2.2.1 Resource Block Parameters MODE_BLK: Must be in AUTO in order for the remaining function blocks in the transmitter to operate.

DD_REV: Contains the revision of the DD associated with the device revision of the PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter. It is used by the Host System and other Fieldbus interface devices to correctly select the associated DD. GRANT_DENY: Options for controlling access of host computer and local control panels to operating, tuning and alarm parameters of the block. HARD_TYPES: The types of hardware available as channel numbers. RESTART: Default and Processor are the available selections. Default will reset the Model R96 to the default function block configuration. NOTE: As RESTART DEFAULT will set most function block configuration parameters to their default values.

FD_SIMULATE: Diagnostic conditions can be manually supplied when simulation is enabled. 12 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual FD_RECOMMEN_ACT: Describes what actions can be taken to address an active diagnostic condition. FD_EXTENDED_ACTIVE_1: For error conditions that have been selected in the Extended_Map_1 parameter, this parameter reflects those that have been detected as active. FD_EXTENDED_MAP_1: Allows the user finer control in selecting multiple conditions contributing to a single condition that may be mapped for the various alarm categories. SERIAL_NUMBER: Manufacturer specific read-only parameter that corresponds to “Magnetrol Serial Number” in the Transducer Block. SOFTWARE_REV: Read-only parameter that corresponds to “Firmware Version” in the Transducer Block. HARDWARE_REV: Read-only parameter that corresponds to “Hardware Version” in the Transducer Block. COMPATIBILITY_REV: Read-only parameter that is optionally used when replacing field devices. The correct usage of this parameter presumes that the DEV_REV value of the replaced device is equal or lower that the COMPATIBILITY_REV value of the replacing device. 2.3 Transducer Block The two TRANSDUCER blocks (TB) contained within the PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter are custom blocks containing parameters that are pertinent to the transmitter itself. TRANSDUCER Block 1 (used for level only operation) contains information such as the Configuration, Diagnostics, Calibration data, output level and Status information. TRANSDUCER Block 2 contains parameters for volume measurement configuration. The read-only parameters and read-write parameters within the TB are grouped in a useful configuration. • The read-only parameters report the block status and operation modes. • The read-write parameters affect both the operation of the function block and the transmitter itself. NOTE: The Transducer Block will automatically be changed to “Out of Service” when the local interface (keypad) is used to change a static parameter online. The Transducer Block must be manually placed back in service from the Host System to resume operation. 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual 13 2.3.1 transducer Block Parameters The first six parameters in the TRANSDUCER Block are the universal parameters discussed in section 2.1.1. After the universal parameters, six additional parameters are required for Transducer Blocks. The most notable of these parameters are UPDATE_EVT and BLOCK_ALM. It should be noted that these six additional parameters must exist but do not have to be implemented. An important device-specific parameter found later in the TRANSDUCER Block list is PRESENT_STATUS, which displays the status of the device. If more than one message exists, then the messages are displayed in priority order. If PRESENT_STATUS indicates a problem, refer to Section 5.2, Troubleshooting. For a complete list of transducer Block Parameters, refer to table in the appendix. NOTE: The user should compare the DD file and revision number of the device with the HOST system to ensure they are at the same revision level. Refer to the DD Revision Table Section 1.2.1. Refer to Appendix A for a complete list of the two Transducer Block parameter sets. 2.3.2 Password Parameters To change a parameter at the local user interface, host, or fieldbus interface, a value matching the user password must be entered (Default = 0). If a static parameter is changed from the local user interface, the Associated Transducer Block goes Out of Service (OOS). Refer to the Section 4.3 for additional information regarding passwords. After five minutes with no keypad activity, the entered password expires. However, the device must be placed back in service from the Host System. 2.3.3 PULSaR Model R96 FF Configuration Parameters One of the main advantages of the PULSAR Model R96 FF Pulse Burst Radar transmitter is that the device can be delivered pre-configured to the user. 14 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual On the other hand, part of the advantage of FOUNDATION fieldbus™ is to provide the ability to monitor changes and make adjustments to a transmitter. The Fieldbus™ concept allows a user to make adjustments if deemed necessary. 2.3.4 PULSaR Model R96 FF device-Specific Configuration Parameters Refer to PULSAR Model R96 I/O Manual BE58-602 for detailed information on the Model R96 device-specific configuration parameters. 2.4 Analog Input Block The ANALOG INPUT (AI) block takes the PULSAR Model R96 FF input data, selected by channel number, and makes it available to other function blocks at its output. The channel selections are: transducer Blocks TB1 – Level TB2 – Volume Process Variable Channel Parameter Value (aI Blocks) Level 1 Distance 2 Echo Strength 3 Electronics Temperature 4 Echo Margin 5 Volume 6 2.4.1 aI Block Parameters ST_REV: a read-only parameter that gives the revision level of the static data associated with the block. This parameter will be incremented each time a static parameter attribute value is written and is a vehicle for tracking changes in static parameter attributes. TAG_DESC: a user assigned parameter that describes the intended application of any given block. STRATEGY: a user assigned parameter that identifies groupings of blocks associated with a given network connection or control scheme. ALERT_KEY: a user assigned parameter which may be used in sorting alarms or events generated by a block. 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual 15 MODE_BLK: a structured parameter composed of the actual mode, the target mode, the permitted mode(s), and the normal mode of operation of a block. • Target: The mode to “go to” • Actual: The mode the “block is currently in” • Permitted: Allowed modes that target may take on • Normal: Most common mode for target BLOCK_ERR: This parameter reflects the error status associated with the hardware or software components associated with a block. It is a bit string so that multiple errors may be shown. PV: Either the primary analog value for use in executing the function, or a process value associated with it. OUT: The primary analog value calculated as a result of executing the function block. SIMULATE: Allows the transducer analog input or output to the block to be manually supplied when simulate is enabled. When simulate is disabled, the simulate value and status track the actual value and status. Refer to Section 2.4.5 for additional information. XD_SCALE: The high and low scale values, Engineering Units, and number of digits to the right of the decimal point used with the value obtained from the transducer for a specified channel. OUT_SCALE: The high and low scale values, Engineering Units, and number of digits to the right of the decimal point to be used in displaying the OUT parameter. GRANT_DENY: Options for controlling access of host computers and local control panels to operating, tuning, and alarm parameters of the block. IO_OPTS: Option which the user may select to alter input and output block processing. STATUS_OPTS: Options which the user may select in the block processing of status. CHANNEL: The number of the logical hardware channel that is connected to this I/O block. (This information defines the transducer to be used going to or from the physical world). L_TYPE: Determines if the values passed by the transducer block to the AI block may be used directly (Direct), or if the value is in different units and must be converted linearly (Indirect), using the input range defined for the transducer and the associated output range. 16 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual LOW_CUT: Limit used in square root processing. PV_FTIME: Time constant of a single exponential filter for the PV, in seconds. FIELD_VAL: Raw value of the field device in % of PV range, with a status reflecting the Transducer condition before signal characterization (L_TYPE) or filtering (PV_FTIME). UPDATE_EVT: This alert is generated by any change to the static data. BLOCK_ALM: The block alarm is used for all configuration, hardware, or system problems in the block. ALARM_SUM: The current alert status, unacknowledged states, unreported states, and disabled states of the alarms associated with the function block. ACK_OPTION: Selection of whether alarms associated with the function block will be automatically acknowledged. ALARM_HYS: Amount the PV must return within the alarm limits before the alarm condition clears. Alarm hysteresis expressed as a percent of the span of the PV. HI_HI_PRI: Priority of the high high alarm. HI_HI_LIM: The setting for high high alarm in engineering units. HI_PRI: Priority of the high alarm. HI_LIM: The setting for high alarm in engineering units LO_PRI: Priority of the low alarm. LO_LIM: The setting for low alarm in engineering units. LO_LO_PRI: Priority of the low low alarm. LO_LO_LIM: The setting for low low alarm in engineering units. HI_HI_ALM: The status for high high alarm and its associated time stamp. HI_ALM: Status for high alarm and associated time stamp. LO_ALM: Status for low alarm and associated time stamp. LO_LO_ALM: The status for low low alarm and its associated time stamp. 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual 17 BLOCK_ERR_DESC: Reports more specific details regarding some errors reported through BLOCK_ERR. The MODE_BLK parameter (within both the TB and AI Blocks) must be set to AUTO to pass the PV Value through the AI to the network. Transducer scaling, called XD_SCALE is applied to the PV from the CHANNEL to produce the FIELD_VAL in percent. • Valid XD_SCALE engineering units depend on the Channel Type. 2.4.2 aI Block diagnostics 1. 2. 3. 4. The AI blocks can display a BLOCK_ERR diagnostic when: The Channel is not set correctly. XD_SCALE does not have suitable engineering units. The SIMULATE parameter is active. AI block MODE is O/S (out of service). NOTE: This can be caused by the Resource Block being OOS or the AI Block not scheduled for execution. 5. L-TYPE not set or set to Direct with improper OUT_SCALE. The AI block uses the STATUS_OPTS setting and the “LIMIT” ALARM PARAMETERS value to modify the AI PV and OUT QUALITY. A Damping Filter is a feature of the AI block. The PV_FTIME parameter is a time constant of a single exponential filter for the PV, in seconds. This parameter can be used to dampen out fluctuation in level due to excessive turbulence. The AI block also has multiple ALARM functions that monitor the OUT parameter for out of bound conditions. 2.4.3 Local display of analog Input The PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter incorporates a useful feature that allows the Analog Input (AI) block Out values to be displayed on the local LCD. 18 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual NOTE: There are many reasons that AI block Out values can deviate from the measurement value originating in the Transducer block, and because the keypad and local display will only provide access to Transducer block parameters, there is no way to change (or view) the other fieldbus configuration items affecting the AI block output using the keypad and LCD. In other words, these screens should only be considered as measured value indicators for configured transmitters. For example: • The screens are not used for commissioning or diagnostic/troubleshooting purposes. • Prior to full fieldbus configuration (transmitter assigned a permanent address, AI block(s) configured and scheduled for execution, etc.), the value displayed will be 0 with “BAD: OUT OF SERVICE” indicated. It will not reflect the transducer measurement. 2.4.3.1 AI Out Display Screens The Analog Input Block Out values can be conditionally displayed as part of the “rotating” home menu screens. A representative example is shown at left. The screens will be formatted as shown with: • Physical Device Tag (Selectable) • Measured Value Status (Bad, Good, Uncertain) • Bar Graph For example, “AI1_Level” would be the most commonly used AI Out screen. “AI2---” would be displayed when the channel value is 0 [uninitialized] for AI block 2. LCd Home Screen Because the Model R96 transmitter has six (6) Analog Input blocks, any or all of which may be used in particular applications, a Transducer block parameter controls which AI block Out values will be displayed on the LCD. Any or all (or none) of the AI block Out values can be selected for display on the rotating home menu. NOTE: In the photo at left, status is shown as “Bad out of Service”. This message would be shown prior to commissioning. 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual 19 2.4.4 aI Block Configuration Below are examples of various typical AI Block configurations. Example 1: standard configuration for transmitter with tank height TH inches or cm.

The Simulate feature is typically used to exercise the operation of an AI block by simulating a TRANSDUCER block input. This feature cannot be activated without the placement of a hardware jumper. A jumper is provided in the “Run” position of the PULSAR Model R96, and is placed under the display module. To enable the simulation feature, remove display module and move the jumper to the “SIM” position. Refer to figure at left for jumper location. NOTE: A BLOCK_ERR of “Simulation Active” in the Resource Block does not mean simulation is active—it merely indicates that the simulation (hardware) enabling jumper is present. • The jumper may be removed to eliminate the BLOCK_ERR and placed back in the “Run” position. 2.5 PID Block Place Jumper in the “SIM” position to enable simulation. The PID Function Block contains the logic necessary to perform Proportional/Integral/Derivative (PID) control. The block provides filtering, set point and rate limits, feedforward support, output limits, error alarms, and mode shedding.

The transmitter continuously runs a series of internal self-tests and displays helpful messages on the large graphic liquid crystal display (LCD) when attention is required. The combination of these internal tests and diagnostics messages offer a valuable proactive method of troubleshooting. The device not only tells the user what is wrong, but also, and more importantly, offers suggestions on how to solve the problem. All of this information can be obtained directly from the transmitter on the LCD, remotely from the Fieldbus host system, or by utilizing PACTware and the PULSAR Model R96 DTM. PACTware™ PC Program The PULSAR Model R96 offers the ability to perform more advanced diagnostics such as Trending and Echo Curve analysis using a PACTware DTM. This is a powerful troubleshooting tool that can aid in the resolution of any diagnostic indicators that may appear. 5.1 Diagnostic Parameters As mentioned above, the PULSAR Model R96 measurement engine runs through a series of self-tests and will detect and report faulty operation. The TRANSDUCER BLOCK displays this diagnostic information in the STATUS INDICATOR parameter. Refer to Section 5.1.3 for more information on specific diagnostic indicators. Note: Within the TRANSDUCER BLOCK, BLOCK_ERROR is not used except for indicating Out of Service (OOS). For the first few seconds after power is applied to the Model R96 transmitter, the LEVEL_STATUS/QUALITY is “Uncertain,” the SUB_STATUS is “Initial value,” and the LIMIT attribute is shown as “Constant.” When the Model R96 is operating properly, the LEVEL_STATUS/QUALITY is shown as “GOOD,” and the SUB_STATUS is “Non-Specific.” 40 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual While changing any transmitter parameters using the local display or through a system configuration tool (with the MODE_BLK in OOS), the output might be inaccurate because of the changing parameters. When the device is set to OOS, the TRANSDUCER BLOCK will still output level but the QUALITY will be shown as “Bad” and the SUB_STATUS is “Out of Service.” If the Model R96 fails to find a measurable level, the TRANSDUCER BLOCK maintains the last good value as the output and flags the failure. The QUALITY is “Bad,” the SUB_STATUS is “Device failure” for no level, and the LIMIT attribute is “Constant.” Refer to Section 5.2 for additional information. 5.1.1 diagnostics (namur nE 107) The PULSAR Model R96 transmitter includes an exhaustive list of Diagnostic Indicators which follow the NAMUR NE 107 guidelines. NAMUR is an international user association of automation technology in process industries, whose goal is to promote the interest of the process industry by pooling experiences among its member companies. In doing so, this group promotes international standards for devices, systems, and technologies. The objective of NAMUR NE 107 was essentially to make maintenance more efficient by standardizing diagnostics information from field devices. This was initially integrated via FOUNDATION Fieldbus, but the concept applies regardless of the communication protocol. According to the NAMUR NE107 recommendation, "Self Monitoring and Diagnosis of Field Devices," fieldbus diagnostic results should be reliable and viewed in the context of a given application. The document recommends categorizing internal diagnostics into four standard status signals: • Failure • Function Check • Out of Specification • Maintenance required 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual 41 In essence, this approach ensures that the correct diagnostic information is available to the correct person-at the correct time. In addition, it allows diagnostics to be applied, as most appropriate, for a particular plant application (such as process control engineering or asset management maintenance). Customer specific mapping of diagnostics to these categories allows for flexible configuration depending on the user's requirements. From an external Model R96 transmitter perspective, diagnostic information includes measurement of process conditions, in addition to detection of internal device or system anomalies. As mentioned above, the indicators can be assignable (via the DTM or host system) by the user to any (or none) of the NAMUR recommended Status Signal categories: Failure, Function Check, Out of Specification, and Maintenance Required. The FOUNDATION fieldbus version of the Model R96 transmitter was implemented according to the Field Diagnostics Profile, which is consistent with the objectives of NE 107. No Fiducial Failure Function Check Out of Specification In this example, “Calibration Required” is mapped to both the Out of Specification and Maintenance Required status signals, and the diagnostic indicator named “High Electronic Temperature” is mapped to none of the signals. Maintenance Required Indicators that are mapped to the Failure category will normally result in a bad status indication. Echo Lost High Elec Temp Calibration Required Diagnostic Indicators 42 In the FOUNDATION fieldbus version, diagnostic indicators can be mapped to multiple categories, an example is shown in the diagram at left. NE-107 Status Signals A default mapping of all diagnostic indicators will be applied initially, and can be re-applied through use of a restart with defaults operation. 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual Refer to the table below for a complete listing of the Model R96 diagnostic indicators, along with their explanations, default categories, and recommended remedies. NOTES: 1) The remedies shown in this table can also be seen on the transmitter LCD by viewing the present status screen when the device is in a diagnostic condition. 2) Those indicators showing failure as the default result in an alarm condition. 5.1.2 diagnostic Indication Simulation The DD and DTM allow for the ability to manipulate diagnostic indicators mapped to NE-107 alarm categories in Resource Block. Intended as a means to verify the configuration of the diagnostic parameters and connected equipment, a user can manually change any indicator in the Resource Block to and from the active state. 5.1.3 diagnostic Indicator table Below is a listing of the Model R96 diagnostic indicators, showing their priority, explanations and recommended remedies.

When Present Status is highlighted, the highest MAGNETROL priority active diagnostic indicator (numerically lowest in Table 5.1.3) is displayed on the bottom LCD line as shown above. Pressing the ENTER key moves the active diagnostic indicator to the top line outdented and presents in the lower area of the LCD a brief explanation of and possible remedies for the indicated condition. A blank line separates the explanation from the remedies. Additional active diagnostic indicators, if any, appear with their explanations in descending priority order. Each additional active indicator name-explanation pair is separated by a blank line from the one above. ➪ ➪ If the explanation and remedy text (and additional nameexplanation pairs) exceeds the available space, a appears in the rightmost column of the last line indicating more text below. In this situation, the DOWN key scrolls the text up. Similarly, while text exists above the upper line of the text field, a appears in the rightmost column of the top (text) line. In this situation, the UP key scrolls the text down. Otherwise the DOWN and UP keys are inoperative. In all cases the ENT or BACK key reverts to the previous screen. When the transmitter is operating normally and the highlight cursor is positioned on Present Status, the bottom LCD line displays “OK” because no diagnostic indicators are active. EVENT HISTORY – This menu displays the parameters related to diagnostic event logging. ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS – This menu displays parameters related to some of the advanced diagnostics available within the Model R96. INTERNAL VALUES – Displays read-only internal parameters. ELEC TEMPERATURES – Displays temperature information as measured in the potted module in degrees F or C. ECHO CURVES – This menu allows the user to display the live Echo Curve and Echo Rejection on the LCD. 46 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual ECHO HISTORY SETUP – The Model R96 contains the unique and powerful feature that allows waveforms to be automatically captured based on Diagnostic Events, Time or both. This menu contains those parameters that configure that feature. Eleven waveforms can be saved directly into the transmitter. • Nine Troubleshooting Curves • One Echo Rejection Curve • One Reference Curve TREND DATA – A 15-minute trend of the PV can be displayed on the LCD. 5.2 Diagnostic Parameters Each detected diagnostic condition potentially affects the status of one or more of the Transducer Block output parameters. The Process Variable Status is described by three characteristics—Quality, Sub-status and Limit. The following table assigns the proposed values of these characteristics, in order of decreasing priority, for each of the diagnostic conditions and/or device configurations. NOTES: 1) Only the highest priority status will be indicated for a given process variable. 2) If a process variable is not listed for a given diagnostic condition and/or device configuration, the status of that process variable is not affected and will be shown as Good::Non-specific: Not limited diagnostic/Condition Process Variables Quality Sub-status Limit Level TB –> OOS Level Distance Echo Strength Elec Temperature Echo Margin Bad Out of Service Not limited Vol TB -> OOS Volume Bad Out of Service Not limited Analog Board Error All PVs except Elec Temperature Bad Sensor Failure Constant limited Software Error All PVs Bad Device Failure Constant limited RAM Error All PVs Bad Device Failure Constant limited 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual 47 diagnostic/Condition Process Variables Quality Sub-status Limit ADC Failure All PVs Bad Device Failure Constant limited EEPROM Error All PVs Bad Device Failure Constant limited No Fiducial All PVs except Elec Temperature Bad Device Failure Constant limited Too Many Echoes All PVs except Elec Temperature Bad Device Failure Constant limited Echo Lost All PVs except Elec Temperature Bad Device Failure Constant limited Inferred Level Echo Strength Echo Margin Bad Device Failure Constant limited Default Parameters ALL PVs Bad Config Error Not limited MeasType != Volume & Level Volume Bad Config Error Constant limited High Volume Alarm Volume Bad Config Error High limited Safety Zone Alarm Level, Distance, Volume Bad Non-Specific Not limited Initializing All PVs except Elec Temperature Uncertain Initial Value Constant limited Ramp Slope Error All PVs Good Non-specific Not limited High Elec Temp All PVs Good Non-specific Not limited Low Elec Temp All PVs Good Non-specific Not limited Calibration Req’d All PVs Good Non-specific Not limited Reject Curve Invalid All PVs Good Non-specific Not limited Max Jump Exceeded All PVs Good Non-specific Not limited Low Echo Margin All PVs Good Non-specific Not limited High Surface Velocity All PVs Good Non-specific Not limited TB Config Changed All PVs Good Non-specific Not limited Sequence Record All PVs Good Non-specific Not limited. 48 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual 5.3 FOUNDATION fieldbus Segment Checklist There can be several reasons for a FOUNDATION fieldbus™ installation to be in a faulty condition. In order to ensure that communication can be established, the following requirements must be met. • Device supply voltage must be higher than 9 VDC with a maximum of 32 VDC. • Total current draw of a given segment cannot exceed the rating shown on the power conditioner and/or barrier. • Two 100 Ω, 1 µF terminators must be connected to the network—one at each end of the segment. • Cable length plus spur length must not exceed the following values: number of Spurs 1 device 2 devices 3 devices 4 devices 25–32 — — — — 19–24 30 m (100 ft.) — — — 15–18 60 m (200 ft.) 30 m (100 ft.) — — 13–14 90 m (300 ft.) 60 m (200 ft.) 30 m (100 ft.) — 1–12 120 m (400 ft.) 90 m (300 ft.) 60 m (200 ft.) 30 m (100 ft.) Pair Shield twisted Size Length type Single Yes Yes 0,8 mm2 (AWG 18) 1,900 m (6,200 ft.) A Multi Yes Yes 0,32 mm (AWG 22) 1,200 m. (3,900 ft) B Multi No Yes 0,13 mm2 (AWG 26) 400 m (1,300 ft.) C Multi Yes No 1,25 mm2 (AWG 16) 200 m (650 ft.) D 2 • The cable shield is to be hard grounded only at one point close to the DCS. In addition, the cable shield can be capacitively grounded in multiple places to improve EMC protection. • Ensure all devices are on the “live list,” and the schedule has been downloaded. • Ensure that the Resource Block, then the Transducer Block, and lastly the Function Block(s) being used are in“Auto” mode rather than Out of Service (OOS). If all of these requirements are met, stable communication should be established. 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Instruction Manual 49 Appendix A Level transducer Block table Item 50 Parameter name Parameter Label 0 BLOCK_STRUCTURE BLOCK STRUCT 1 ST_REV Static Revision 2 TAG_DESC Tag Description 3 STRATEGY Strategy 4 ALERT_KEY Alert Key 5 MODE_BLK Block Mode 6 BLOCK_ERR Block Error 7 UPDATE_EVT Update Event 8 BLOCK_ALM Block Alarm 9 TRANSDUCER_DIRECTORY Transducer Directory 10 TRANSDUCER_TYPE Transducer Type 11 XD_ERROR Transducer Error 12 COLLECTION_DIRECTORY Collection Directory 13 MEASUREMENT_TYPE Measurement Type 14 LEVEL Level 15 LEVEL_UNIT Level Unit 16 DISTANCE Distance 17 DISTANCE_UNIT Distance Unit 18 ANTENNA_MODEL Antenna Model 19 ANTENNA_EXTENSION Antenna Extension 20 ANTENNA_MOUNT Antenna Mount 21 TANK_HEIGHT Tank Height 22 STILLWELL_ID Stillwell ID 23 DIELECTRIC_RANGE Dielectric Range 24 TURBULENCE Turbulence 25 FOAM Foam 26 RATE_OF_CHANGE Rate Of Change 27 ECHO_REJECT_STATE Echo Reject State 28 ECHO_LIST_MODE Echo List Mode 29 SAVED_REJECT_LOCATION Saved Reject Location 30 NEW_REJECT_LOCATION New Reject Location 31 ECHO_REJECT_MATURITY Echo Reject Maturity 32 ECHO_REJECT_RESPONSE Echo Reject Response 33 SENSITIVITY Sensitivity 34 TOP_BLOCKING_DISTANCE Top Blocking Distance 58-640 PULSAR Model R96 Pulse Burst Radar Transmitter -
