INTRODUCTION This section contains information for advanced configuration parameters and
diagnostics.
The software configuration settings for the Rosemount 8712 can be accessed
through a HART-based communicator, Local Operator Interface (LOI), or
through a control system. The software functions for the Field Communicator
are described in detail in this section of the manual. It provides an overview
and summary of communicator functions. For more complete instructions, see
the communicator manual. Before operating the Rosemount 8712 in an actual
installation, you should review all of the factory set configuration data to
ensure that they reflect the current application.
DIAGNOSTICS Diagnostics are used to verify that the transmitter is functioning properly, to
assist in troubleshooting, to identify potential causes of error messages, and
to verify the health of the transmitter and sensor. Diagnostic tests can be
initiated through the use of a HART-based communications device, the Local
Operator Interface, or through the control system.
Rosemount offers several different diagnostic suites providing various
functionality.
Standard diagnostics included with every Rosemount 8712 transmitter are
Empty Pipe detection, Electronics Temperature monitoring, Coil Fault
detection, and various loop and transmitter tests.
Advanced diagnostics suite option one (DA1 option) contains advanced
diagnostics for High Process Noise detection and Grounding and Wiring fault
detection.
Advanced diagnostics suite option two (DA2 option) contains advanced
diagnostics for the 8714i Meter Verification. This diagnostic is used to verify
the accuracy and performance of the magnetic flowmeter installation.
Diagnostic Controls The diagnostic controls menu provides a centralized location for enabling or
disabling each of the diagnostics that are available. Note that for some
diagnostics to be available, a diagnostics suite package is required.
