Step 7: Basic Configuration
Quick Start-Up
Once the magnetic flowmeter system is installed and communication is established,
configuration of the transmitter must be completed. The standard transmitter configuration,
without Option Code C1, Custom Configuration, is shipped with the following parameters:
Engineering Units: ft/s
Sensor Size: 3-in.
Sensor Calibration Number: 100000501000000
Assigning Device Tag and Node Address
The 8732E Magnetic Flowmeter Transmitter with FOUNDATION fieldbus is shipped with a
blank tag and a temporary address to allow a host to automatically assign an address and a
tag. If the tag or address need to be changed, use the features of the configuration tool. The
tools do the following:
• Change the tag to a new value.
• Change the address to a new address.
When the device is at a temporary address, only the tag and address can be changed or
written to. The resource, transducer, and function blocks are all disabled.
Flow-Specific Block Configuration
AI Block
The Analog Input (AI) function block provides the primary interface of the measurement to
the control and/or monitoring systems. To properly configure the device, four parameters
must be set in order to correctly interface between the AI block and transducer block.
1. Set the CHANNEL parameter to AI1.CHANNEL = 1 (Flow).
In the 8732E Magnetic Flowmeter Transmitter only one channel is available.
2. Set the XD_SCALE. The default configuration is 0-30 ft/s
3. Set the L_TYPE as Direct. L_TYPE can be either Direct or Indirect.
4. If setting the L_TYPE as indirect, OUT_SCALE range must be configured.
General Block Configuration
In general, only the transducer block and AI block have configurations for flow-specific
parameters. All other function blocks are configured by linking the AI block to other blocks to
be used for control and/or monitoring applications.
