11.1.3 Configuring the Transducer Blocks
The measurement and the display module are configured using the Transducer Blocks. The
general procedure is the same for all Transducer Blocks:
1. If necessary, change the block name.
2. Set the block mode to OOS by means of the Block Mode/MODE_BLK parameter,
TARGET element.
3. Configure the device in accordance with the measuring task → 41.
4. Set the block mode to Auto by means of the Block Mode/MODE_BLK parameter,
TARGET element.
The block mode must be set to Auto for the measuring device to function correctly.
11.1.4 Configuring the Analog Input Blocks
The device has 2 Analog Input Blocks that can be assigned as required to the various process
variables.
Default settings
Analog Input Block CHANNEL
AI 1 32949: Level linearized
AI 2 32856: Distance
1. If necessary, change the block name.
2. Set the block mode to OOS by means of the Block Mode/MODE_BLK parameter,
TARGET element.
3. Use the Channel/CHANNEL parameter to select the process variable which should be
used as the input value for the Analog Input Block .
4. Use the Transducer Scale/XD_SCALE parameter to select the desired unit and the
block input range for the process variable → 39. Make sure that the unit selected
suits the process variable selected. If the process variable does not suit the unit, the
Block Error/BLOCK_ERR parameter reports Block Configuration Error and the block
mode cannot be set to Auto.
5. Use the Linearization Type/L_TYPE parameter to select the type of linearization for
the input variable (factory setting: Direct). Make sure that the settings for the
Transducer Scale/XD_SCALE and Output Scale/ OUT_SCALE parameters are the
same for the Direct linearization type. If the values and units do not match, the Block
Error/BLOCK_ERR parameter reports Block Configuration Error and the block mode
cannot be set to Auto.
6. Enter the alarm and critical alarm messages by means of the High High Limit/
HI_HI_LIM, High Limit/HI_LIM, Low Low Limit/LO_LO_LIM and Low Limit/LO_LIM
parameters. The limit values entered must be within the value range specified for the
Output Scale/ OUT_SCALE parameter → 39.
