FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ Overview
1.1
Description
FOUNDATION fieldbus™ is a digital communications system
that serially interconnects devices in the field. 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 an existing 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 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
E3 Modulevel 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.

PC
Power
Conditioner
Terminator
Terminator

Control Room
An IEC61158 shielded twisted
pair wire segment can be as long
as 6234 feet (1900 meters) without a repeater. Up to 4 repeaters
per segment can be used to extend
the distance. The maximum number of devices allowed on a
Fieldbus segment is 32 although
this depends on the current draw
of the devices on any given segment. See Figure 1.
Details regarding cable specifications, grounding, termination, and
other network information can be
found in IEC 61158 or the wiring
installation application guide
AG-140 at www.fieldbus.org.

1.2
Benefits
The benefits of FOUNDATION fieldbus™ can be found
throughout all phases of an installation:
1. Design/Installation: Connecting multiple devices to a single
pair of wires means less wire and fewer I/O equipment.
Initial Engineering costs are also reduced because the
Fieldbus Foundation requires interoperability, defined as
“the ability to operate multiple devices in the same system,
regardless of manufacturer, without a loss of functionality.”
All FOUNDATION fieldbus™ devices must be tested for
interoperability by the Fieldbus Foundation. Magnetrol
E3 Modulevel FOUNDATION fieldbus™ device registration
information can be found at www.fieldbus.org.
2. Operation: With control now taking place within the
devices in the field, better loop performance and control are
the result. A FOUNDATION fieldbus™ system allows for multiple variables to be brought back from each device to the
control room for additional trending and reporting.
3. Maintenance: The self-diagnostics residing in the smart
field devices minimizes the need to send maintenance
personnel to the field.
1.3
Device Configuration
Device Descriptions
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 follows:
Resource Block describes the characteristics of the
FOUNDATION fieldbus™ device such as the device name,
manufacturer, and serial number.
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. There can be
numerous function blocks in a single User Application.
Transducer Blocks contain information such as calibration
parameters and sensor type. They are used to connect the
sensor to the input function blocks.
An important requirement of Fieldbus devices is the interoperability concept mentioned earlier. 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.
48-640 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™
5
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 fieldbus.org.
1.4
Intrinsic Safety
The H1 physical layer supports Intrinsic Safety (IS) applications with bus-powered devices. To accomplish this, an IS
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 E3 Modulevel is available with entity IS, FISCO IS,
FNICO non-incendive, or explosion proof approvals.
1.5
Link Active Scheduler (LAS)
The default operating class of the E3 Modulevel with
FOUNDATION fieldbus™ is a basic device. However, it is
capable of being 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, coordinates both the cyclic and acyclic timing and, at
any given time, controls which device publishes data via
Compel Data (CD) and Pass Token (PT).
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
E3 Modulevel. The operating class of E3 Modulevel can be
changed from basic to LAS using a FOUNDATION fieldbus
configuration tool.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Handling Procedure
Magnetrol’s electronic instruments are manufactured to the
highest quality standards. These instruments use electronic
components which may be damaged by static electricity
present in most work environments.
The following steps are recommended to reduce the risk of
component failure due to electrostatic discharge.
• Ship and store circuit boards in anti-static bags. If an antistatic bag is not available, wrap the board in aluminum foil.
Do not place boards on foam packing materials.
• Use a grounding wrist strap when installing and removing
circuit boards. A grounded workstation is recommended.
• Handle circuit boards only by the edges. Do not touch
components or connector pins.
• Ensure that all electrical connections are completely made
and that none are partial or floating. Ground all equipment
to a good, earth ground.

Before You Begin
3.3.1 Site Preparation
Each E3 Modulevel transmitter is built to match the physical specifications of the required installation. Ensure that
the process connection(s) on the vessel matches the
Modulevel’s process connection(s).
See Mounting, Section 3.4.
Ensure that the wiring between the power supply and
Modulevel transmitter are complete and correct for the type
of installation.
When installing the Modulevel transmitter in a general purpose or hazardous area, local, state and federal regulations
and guidelines must be observed.
See Wiring, Section 3.5.3.
3.3.2 Equipment and Tools
•
•

No special equipment or tools are required to install the
Electronic Modulevel. The following items are recommended:
Wrenches, flange gaskets and flange bolting appropriate for
process connection(s)
Flat-blade screwdriver
Level

Fieldbus compatible power supply with proper termination
3.3.3 Operational Considerations
The Modulevel transmitter should be located for easy access
for service, configuration, and monitoring. There should be
sufficient headroom to allow installation and removal of the
transmitter head and, in cases of tank top configuration, the
displacer. Special precautions should be made to prevent
exposure to corrosive atmosphere, excessive vibration, shock,
or physical damage.
The operating temperature range for the transmitter electronics is -40° to +176° F (-40° to +80° C). The operating
temperature range for the digital display is -5° to +160° F
(-20° to +70° C).
Caution: Operation of all buoyancy type level devices should be
done in such a way as to minimize the action of dynamic
forces on the float or displacer sensing element. Good
practice for reducing the likelihood of damage to the control is to equalize pressure across the device very slowly.
48-640 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™

3.4
Mounting
The E3 Modulevel transmitter can be mounted to a tank
using a variety of configurations and process connections.
Generally, either a threaded, welded or flanged connection
is used with an external cage. A flanged connection is always
used on a tank top model. For information about the sizes
and types of connections available, see Model Numbers,
Section 8.7.
Ensure all mounting connections are in place on the tank
and properly sized for the specific unit being installed.
Compare the model on the nameplate with the product
information to ensure the Modulevel transmitter is correct
for the intended installation.
If the Modulevel must be insulated, DO NOT insulate the
transmitter head, e-tube or finned extensions.

Before installing, ensure that:
• There is adequate headroom for the installation of the
Modulevel head and displacer and that it has unobstructed
entry into the vessel.
• Using a level, the mounting flange is level within 3° in all
directions.
• If the adjustable hanger assembly (P/N 32-3110-001) is
used, it is cut to the required length and attached to the
displacer stem.
NOTE: The adjustable hanger assembly is used when the top of the
displacer and, therefore, the top of the measurement range
must be positioned in the vessel more than 9.31" below the
mounting flange. The standard hanger cable length is 8 feet.
Consult factory for longer cable.

• A stilling well is installed for applications where continuous
agitation is present. The stilling well must be vertically level
so as not to restrict displacer movement.
See Figure 7 for a typical stilling well installation.
• The process temperature, pressure and specific gravity are
within the unit’s specifications for installation.
See Specifications, Section 8.6.
To install:
1. Position the head flange gasket on the vessel flange and gently lower the displacer into the vessel. To prevent damage to

3. Install the flange bolts and nuts and tighten alternating nuts
in a star pattern. Flange bolting torque specifications are
listed on page 12.
Caution: All Modulevels are shipped from the factory with the
enclosing tube tightened and the transmitter head set
Use stilling well in
screws locked to the enclosing tube. Failure to loosen the
case of turbluent
set screws prior to repositioning the supply and output conmedium
nections may cause the enclosing tube to loosen, resulting
in the possible leakage of the process liquid or vapor.

Function Blocks
4.1
Overview
The E3 Modulevel Liquid Level Displacer Transmitter operates on the Archemedes principle of buoyancy force. Refer
to Bulletin 48-635 for more detailed information on the
Modulevel transmitter.
The E3 Modulevel is a liquid level transmitter with four
FOUNDATION fieldbus™ Blocks (one Resource Block, one
Transducer Block, one Analog Input Function block, and
one PID Function block. 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
name.
The TRANSDUCER block output is available to the
network through the ANALOG INPUT block.
• The ANALOG INPUT block (AI) takes the TRANSDUCER
block level or density value and makes it available as an
analog value to other function blocks. The AI block has
scaling conversion, filtering, and alarm functions.
4.1.1 Universal Fieldbus Block Parameters
The following are general descriptions of the parameters
common to all blocks. Additional information for a given
parameter is described later in that specific block section.
ST_REV (static data revision): 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 (tag descriptor): 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.
• The actual mode is set by the block during its execution to
reflect the mode used during execution.
• The target mode may be set and monitored through the
mode parameter.
48-640 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™
17
• The permitted modes are listed for each block.
• The block must be in an automatic mode for normal
operation.
NOTE: The MODE_BLK target parameter must be OOS (out of service)
to change configuration and calibration parameters in that function block (when in OOS, the normal algorithm is no longer executed and any outstanding alarms are cleared).
All blocks must be in an operating mode for the device to operate. This requires the Resource Block to be in “AUTO” and the
Transducer Block to be in “AUTO” before the Function Blocks
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” in the Resource Block does not
mean simulation is active—it merely indicates that the simulation enabling hardware jumper is installed.
4.2
Resource Block
The RESOURCE block contains data specific to the
E3 Modulevel transmitter, along with some
information about the firmware.
NOTE: The Resource Block has no control function.
MODE_BLK: Must be in AUTO in order for the remaining blocks in the transmitter to operate.
NOTE: A Resource Block in “out of service” will stop all function block
execution in the transmitter.
RS_STATE (Resource State): identifies the state of the
RESOURCE block state machine. Under normal operating
conditions, it should be “On-Line.”
DD_RESOURCE: a string identifying the tag of the
resource that contains the Device Description for this device.
MANUFAC_ID: contains Magnetrol International’s
FOUNDATION fieldbus™ manufacturer’s ID number, which is
0x000156.
DEV_TYPE: the model number of the E3 Modulevel transmitter (0x0003). It is used by interface devices to locate the
Device Descriptor (DD) file for this product.
DEV_REV: contains the firmware revision of the
E3 Modulevel transmitter. It is used by interface devices
to correctly select the associated DD.
18
48-640 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™
DD_REV: contains the revision of the DD associated with
the version of firmware in the E3 Modulevel transmitter. It
is used by interface devices to correctly select the associated
DD.
RESTART: Default and Processor selections are available.
Default will reset the Model E3 to the default block
configuration.
NOTE: RESTART DEFAULT will not reset parameters to their default
values in the custom Transducer Block.
FEATURES: a list of the features available in the transmitter.
The Model E3 features include Reports, and Software Write
Locking.
FEATURES_SEL: allows the user to turn Features on or off.
CYCLE_TYPE: identifies the block execution methods that
are available.
CYCLE_SEL: allows the user to select the block execution
method.
MIN_CYCLE_T: the time duration of the shortest cycle
interval. It puts a lower limit on the scheduling of the
resource.
NV_CYCLE_T: the minimum time interval between copies
of non-volatile (NV) parameters to NV memory. NV memory is only updated if there has been a significant change in
the dynamic value and the last value saved will be available
for the restart procedure. A value of “0” means it will never
be automatically copied. Entries made by human interface
devices to NV parameters are copied to non-volatile memory
at the time of entry.
NOTE: After completing a large copy, allow several minutes before
removing power from the E3 Modulevel transmitter to ensure
that all data has been saved.
FREE_SPACE: shows the amount of available memory for
further configuration. The value is zero percent in a preconfigured device.
FREE_TIME: the amount of the block processing time that
is free to process additional blocks.
SHED_RCAS: the time duration at which to give up computer writes to function block RCas locations. Shed from
RCas will never happen when SHED_RCAS = 0.
SHED_ROUT: the time duration at which to give up computer writes to function block ROut locations. Shed from
ROut will never happen when SHED_ROUT = 0.
48-640 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™
19
FAULT_STATE, SET_FSTATE, CLR_FSTATE: these only
apply to output function blocks. (The E3 Modulevel has no
output function blocks).
MAX_NOTIFY: the maximum number of alert reports that
the transmitter can send without getting a confirmation.
The user can set the number low, to control alert flooding,
by adjusting the LIM_NOTIFY parameter value.
LIM_NOTIFY: the maximum numbers of unconfirmed
alert notify messages allowed. No alerts are reported if set
to zero.
CONFIRM_TIME: the time that the transmitter will wait
for confirmation of receipt of a report before trying again.
Retry will not occur if CONFIRM_TIME = 0.
WRITE_LOCK: When set to LOCKED, will prevent any
external change to the static or non-volatile data base in the
Function Block Application of the transmitter. Block connections and calculation results will proceed normally, but
the configuration will be locked.
UPDATE_EVT (Update Event): is an alert generated by a
write to the static data in the block.
BLOCK_ALM (Block Alarm): is used for configuration,
hardware, connection, or system problems in the block. The
cause of any specific alert is entered in the subcode field.
The first alert to become active will set the Active status in
the Status attribute. As soon as the Unreported status is
cleared by the alert reporting task, another block alert may
be reported without clearing the Active status, if the subcode has changed.
ALARM_SUM (Alarm Summary): contains the current
alert status, the unacknowledged states, the unreported
states, and the disabled states of the alarms associated with
the block.
ACK_OPTION (Acknowledge Option): selects whether
alarms associated with the block will be automatically
acknowledged.
WRITE_PRI (Write Priority): the priority of the alarm
generated by clearing the write lock.
WRITE ALM (Write Alarm): the alert generated if the
write lock parameter is cleared.
ITK_VER (ITK Version): contains the version of the
Interoperability Test Kit (ITK) used by the Fieldbus
Foundation during their interoperability testing.

4.3
Modulevel Transducer Block
The Modulevel TRANSDUCER block is a custom block
containing parameters that support the E3 Modulevel level
transmitter. It contains the model attributes, diagnostics,
and calibration data, and outputs a measured value with
status information.
The TRANSDUCER block parameters are grouped in a
useful configuration. There are both read-only parameters
and read-write parameters within the TRANSDUCER block.
• The read-only parameters report the block status and
operation modes.
• The read-write parameters affect the function block basic
operation, level transmitter operation, and calibration.
The Transducer Block will automatically be changed to
“Out of Service” when the local interface (keypad) is used
to change a parameter online.
4.3.1 Modulevel Transducer Block Parameters
The first six parameters in the Modulevel TRANSDUCER
block are the universal parameters discussed in section 4.1.1.
The universal parameters are followed by these additional
required parameters:
UPDATE_EVT (Update Event): an alert generated by a
write to the static data in the TRANSDUCER block.
Another important parameter found later in the TRANSDUCER block list is DEVICE_STATUS, which displays
the status of the device. If more than one message exists,
then the messages are displayed in priority order. Refer to
Section 8.3.3, Status Messages.
If DEVICE_STATUS indicates a problem, refer to
Section 8.3, Troubleshooting.
For a complete list of Transducer Block Parameters, refer
to table in the Appendix.
4.3.2 Password Parameters
To change a parameter at the local user interface, a value
matching the user password must be entered (Default=1). If
the user password is entered, the instrument is in the user
mode. After 5 minutes with no keypad activity, the entered
password expires.
Factory password is for use by trained factory personnel only.
From the network, the instrument always behaves as if it is
in the user mode by default. In other words, it is not necessary to enter the user password in order to write parameters
from the network.

The parameter referred to as LEVEL_OFFSET in the
Transducer Block is the desired level reading when the liquid
is at the zero reference point of the E3 Modulevel.
On the top mounted models E3A and E3B, the zero reference is the bottom of the displacer (not including the hook).
On a side-bottom mounted models E3C and E3D, it is the
length of the level range below the centerline of the upperside process connection.
On side-side mounted models E3E and E3F, the zero reference is the centerline of the bottom-side process connection.
Unit is shipped from factory with Level Offset = 0.

User-Calibration Parameters
4.4.1 User Calibration Procedure
One of the main advantages of the E3 Modulevel transmitter
is that the device does not need to be calibrated in the field.
Every E3 Modulevel transmitter is shipped from the factory
precisely calibrated, requiring only configuration by the user
in the field.
On the other hand, part of the advantage of FOUNDATION
fieldbus™ is to provide the ability to monitor changes and
adjustments to a transmitter. For minor calibration adjustments to the measured value, trim parameters are available.

device with the HOST system to ensure they are at the same
revision level.
4.5
Analog Input Block
The ANALOG INPUT (AI) block takes the manufacturer’s
input data and makes it available to other function blocks at
its output.
Since only one measured value is available depending on
the configuration of the unit, only one channel selection is
defined in the AI Function Block. The channel will be
identified as “Primary Value,” and will also be defined as
the default Channel.
4.5.1 AI Block Parameters
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.

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), or with square root (Ind Sqr Root), using the
input range defined for the transducer and the associated
output range.
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, connection failure or system problems in the block.

The TRANSDUCER and AI blocks’ MODE_BLK parameter 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 in engineering units is limited
to the four allowable codes of meters (m), centimeters (cm),
feet (ft) and inches (in) for units configured for level or interface level measurement. Units configured for density measurement have the engineering unit of specific gravity (sgu).

The AI can have a BLOCK_ERR when:
Channel is not set correctly.
XD_SCALE does not have suitable engineering units or has
range incompatibility.
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 uses the STATUS_OPTS setting and the TRANSDUCER PV LIMIT value to modify the AI PV and OUT
QUALITY.
26
48-640 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™
Damping Filter is a feature of the AI block. PV_FTIME
parameter is 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 has multiple ALARM functions that monitor
the OUT parameter for out of bound conditions.
4.5.2 Local Display of Analog Input Transducer Block Output
The E3 Modulevel FOUNDATION fieldbus™ transmitter
incorporates a feature that allows the device’s Analog Input
[AI] block Out value to be displayed on the local LCD.
NOTE: There are many reasons that AI block Out value 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
explore or change the other fieldbus configuration items affecting the AI block output using the keypad and LCD.
This screen should only be considered as a measured value
indicator for configured transmitters.
• The screen is not used for commissioning or diagnostic /
troubleshooting purposes.
• Prior to full fieldbus configuration (transmitter assigned a permanent address, AI block configured and scheduled for execution, etc.), the value displayed will not reflect the transducer
measurement. (Pre-configuration value will typically be 0).
4.5.2.1 AI Out Display Screen
The Analog Input Out value will be conditionally displayed
as part of the “rotating” home menu screens.
The Out value will be displayed subject to limitations necessary for a 6-character display [999999 > Value > -99999].

6.0 Diagnostic Parameters
The E3 Modulevel measurement engine runs through a
series of self-tests and will detect and report
faulty operation. The Modulevel TRANSDUCER BLOCK
displays these faults in the DEVICE_STATUS parameter.
Refer to Section 8.3.3 for more information on specific
faults and warnings.
BLOCK_ERROR is not used except for indicating Out of
Service (OOS).
When the Model E3 transmitter is initially powered on, the
measurement engine does not have enough valid measurement cycles to make a decision about the output level. For
the first twenty-two measurement cycles after power is
applied, the QUALITY is “Uncertain,” the SUB_STATUS
is “Initial value,” and the LIMIT attribute is “Constant.”
When the Model E3 is operating correctly, the QUALITY
is shown as “GOOD,” and the SUB_STATUS is “NonSpecific.”
While changing the transmitter operational parameters
using the local display or through the system configuration
tool (with the MODE_BLK in OOS), the output might be
inaccurate because of the changing parameters. When the
device is in a mode where operational parameters can be
changed, the Modulevel TRANSDUCER BLOCK will still
output level but the QUALITY will be shown as “Bad”
and the SUB_STATUS is “Out of Service.”
48-640 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™
33
If the Model E3 indicates a fault condition, the Modulevel
TRANSDUCER BLOCK maintains the last good value as
the output and flags the failure. The QUALITY is “Bad,”
the SUB_STATUS is “Sensor failure” (or “Device failure”),
and the LIMIT attribute is set appropriately. Refer to
Section 8.3.3.
6.1
Simulation Feature
The E3 Modulevel with FOUNDATION fieldbus™ supports
the Simulate feature in the Analog Input block. The
Simulate feature is typically used to exercise the operation of
an AI block by simulating a TRANSDUCER block input.
This feature can not be activated without the placement of a
hardware jumper. This jumper is installed as standard on
the Model E3, and is placed in an inconvenient location to
avoid inadvertent disabling of this feature.
NOTE: A BLOCK_ERR of “Simulation” in the Resource Block indicates
that the simulation enabling hardware jumper is present.
Contact the factory for instructions on how to remove this
jumper and permanently disable the Simulate feature.

Description
Display
The E3 Modulevel is a level transmitter which utilizes simple buoyancy principles in combination with a precision
range spring and a highly accurate LVDT (linear variable
differential transformer) to detect and convert liquid level
movement into a stable output value. The electronics are
housed in an ergonomic, dual-compartment enclosure
which is angled for ease of wiring and calibration.

Theory of Operation
The Electronic Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter relies
on the principles of buoyancy to convert mechanical movement to an electronic output. See Figure 17.
8.2.1 Displacer/Range Spring
Displacer
External cage
Figure 17
Electronic Modulevel
Components
According to Archimedes principle, the buoyancy force acting on an object immersed in liquid is equal to the mass of
the liquid displaced. As the level changes, the volume of displacer submerged in the liquid changes, thus varying the
buoyancy force acting on the displacer. This change is
detected by the precision range spring from which the displacer hangs, causing it to elongate or compress. The change
in spring length causes movement of a special LVDT core
which is mounted on a rigid stem attached to the spring.
8.2.2 LVDT
E3 Modulevel utilizes highly precise LVDT technology to
convert the movement of the LVDT core within the LVDT
to a stable output value. The position of the core with
respect to a primary and two secondary windings within the
LVDT, induces a voltage in each winding. The comparison
of the induced voltages within the microprocessor of the E3
results in very accurate level output.
48-640 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter - FOUNDATION fieldbus™
37
8.2.3 Interface
E3 Modulevel is capable of tracking the interface level of
two immiscible liquids with different densities. The unit is
equipped with a specially designed displacer which allows it
to detect the position of a clean interface or an emulsion
layer and convert it into a stable output value.
8.2.4 Density
Yet another capability of E3 Modulevel is to track the
changing density of a liquid over a known density range and
convert that into a stable output value. As the density of the
liquid changes, so does the mass of the liquid displaced by
the specially designed displacer. The resulting change in
buoyancy force on the displacer causes the movement of the
LVDT core necessary to convert the density change to an
output value.
8.3
Troubleshooting
The E3 Modulevel displacer transmitter is designed, engineered and constructed for trouble-free operation over a
wide range of operating and application conditions. Below,
common transmitter problems are discussed in terms of
their symptoms and corrective actions.
WARNING! Explosion hazard. Do not remove covers unless power
has been switched off or the area is known to be nonhazardous.

• 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 the device identity is in the Resource Block.
• Ensure that the Resource Block, then the Transducer Block,
and lastly the Function Block(s) are in“Auto” mode rather
than Out of Service (OOS).
If all of these requirements are met, a stable communication
should be established.

ASSURED QUALITY & SERVICE COST LESS
Service Policy
Return Material Procedure
Owners of Magnetrol may request the return of a control or
any part of a control for complete rebuilding or replacement. They will be rebuilt or replaced promptly. Controls
returned under our service policy must be returned by
Prepaid transportation. Magnetrol will repair or replace the
control at no cost to the purchaser (or owner) other than
transportation if:
So that we may efficiently process any materials that are
returned, it is essential that a “Return Material
Authorization” (RMA) number be obtained from the
factory, prior to the material’s return. This is available
through Magnetrol local representative or by
contacting the factory. Please supply the following
information:
1. Returned within the warranty period; and
2. The factory inspection finds the cause of the claim to
be covered under the warranty.
If the trouble is the result of conditions beyond our control;
or, is NOT covered by the warranty, there will be charges
for labor and the parts required to rebuild or replace the
equipment.
In some cases it may be expedient to ship replacement
parts; or, in extreme cases a complete new control, to
replace the original equipment before it is returned. If this
is desired, notify the factory of both the model and serial
numbers of the control to be replaced. In such cases, credit
for the materials returned will be determined on the basis of
the applicability of our warranty.
