G.1 Overview
The Advanced Configuration Transducer Block contains functions for advanced configuration of
the Rosemount 5400 Series transmitter. It includes functions such as amplitude threshold
settings for filtering of disturbing echoes and noise, simulation of measurement values, and
strapping table for volume measurements.

Parameter
Index
number
Default value Description
ST_REV 1 N/A
The revision level of the static data
associated with the function block. The
revision value increments each time a static
parameter value in the block is changed.
TAG_DESC 2 N/A
The user description of the intended
application of the block.
STRATEGY 3 0
The strategy field can be used to identify
grouping of blocks. This data is not checked
or processed by the block.
ALERT_KEY 4 0
The identification number of the plant unit.
This information may be used in the host for
sorting alarms, etc.
MODE_BLK 5
0x88(Auto | OOS)
0x08(Auto)
The actual, target, permitted, and normal
modes of the 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 6 N/A
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.
UPDATE_EVT 7 N/A
BLOCK_ALM 8 N/A
TRANSDUCER_DIRECTORY 9 0
TRANSDUCER_TYPE 10 0x8121(0x8121) Identifies the transducer.
