54 Transmitter Configuration and Use: Series 1000 and 2000 Transmitters
Required Transmitter Configuration continued
6.5.1 Configuring the process variable
You can configure the process variables to be reported through the mA outputs.
Table 6-8 lists the process variables that can be assigned to the primary and secondary
mA outputs.
Note: Some transmitters can measure only mass flow and volume flow. See Table 6-3.
Note: If the enhanced density or petroleum measurement application is installed on your
transmitter, additional process variables will be available for assignment.
Note: The process variable assigned to the primary mA output is always the PV (primary variable)
defined for HART communications. You can specify this process variable either by configuring the
primary mA output or by configuring the PV (see Section 8.15.6). If you change the process variable
assigned to the mA output, the PV assignment is changed automatically, and vice versa.
If your transmitter has a secondary mA output, the process variable assigned to it is always the SV
(secondary variable) defined for HART communications. You can specify this process variable either
by configuring the secondary mA output or by configuring the SV (see Section 8.15.6). If you change
the process variable assigned to the mA output, the SV assignment is changed automatically, and vice
versa.
If your transmitter does not have a secondary mA output, the SV assignment must be configured
directly (see Section 8.15.6), and the value of the SV must be queried through an RS-485 connection,
read through the Communicator, or reported through burst mode.
