Overview
Burst messages contain information on process variables or transmitter status. You can
configure up to three burst messages. Each message can contain different information.
Burst messages also provide the mechanism for trigger mode and event notification.
Procedure
1. Navigate to the burst message you want to configure.
2. Enable the burst message.
3. Set Burst Option to the desired content.

1 Source (Primary Variable) Primary Variable The transmitter sends the primary variable (PV) in
the configured measurement units in each burst
message (e.g., 14.0 g/sec, 13.5 g/sec, 12.0 g/sec).
2 Primary Variable (Percent
Range/Current)
Pct Range/Current The transmitter sends the PV’s actual mA level and
the PV’s percent of range in each burst message
(e.g., 11.0 mA 25%).
3 Process Variables/Current Process Vars/Current The transmitter sends the PV’s actual milliamp read-
ing and the PV, SV, TV, and QV values in measure-
ment units in each burst message (e.g., 11.8 mA,
50 g/sec, 23 °C, 50 g/sec, 0.0023 g/cm3).
9 Read Device Variables with
Status
Device Variables with Status The transmitter sends up to eight user-specified
process variables in each burst message.
33 Transmitter Variables Field Device Vars The transmitter sends four user-specified process
variables in each burst message.
48 Read Additional Transmitter
Status
Read Additional Device Sta-
tus
The transmitter sends expanded device status infor-
mation in each burst message.
4. Depending on your choice, select the four or eight user-specified variables for the
burst message, or set the HART variables as desired.
Important
If you change the HART Primary Variable (PV) or Secondary Variable (SV), the process
variables assigned to the primary mA output and the secondary mA output (if applicable) are
automatically changed to match. The PV cannot be changed on devices with fixed mA output
assignments.
