E.1 Overview
This section contains information on the Rosemount 5400 Series Transducer Block (TB).
Descriptions of all Transducer Block parameters, errors, and diagnostics are listed.
E.1.1 Definition
The transducer block contains the actual measurement data, including a level and distance
reading. Channels 1ā6 are assigned to these measurements. The transducer block includes
information about sensor type, engineering units, and all parameters needed to configure the
radar gauge.
E.1.2 Channel definitions
Each input has an assigned channel which can be linked to the AI block. The channels for the
Rosemount 5400 Series are the following:
