11. 3 Transducer Block
The Transducer Block of the Proline Prowirl 72 FOUNDATION Fieldbus contains all the measuring
and device-specific parameters of the flowmeter. All the settings directly connected with the
application/flow measurement are made here.
It forms the interface between sensor-specific measured value preprocessing and the function blocks
required for automation.
A Transducer Block allows you to influence the input and output variables of a function block. The
parameters of a Transducer Block include information on the sensor configuration, physical units,
calibration, damping, error messages, etc. as well as the device-specific parameters.
The device-specific parameters and functions of Proline Prowirl 72 FOUNDATION Fieldbus are
split into several Transducer Blocks, each covering different task areas.
