Rosemount 5300 Series
Appendix G Register Transducer Block
OVERVIEW The Register Transducer Block allows access to Database registers and Input
registers of the Rosemount 5300 transmitter. This makes it possible to read a
selected set of register directly by accessing the memory location.
The Register Transducer Block is only available with advanced service.

Transducer Block Parameters
Since this Register Transducer Block allows access to most registers in the transmitter,
which includes the registers set by the Methods and Configuration screens, in the Level
Transducer Block (see Appendix F: Level Transducer Block) it should be handled with care
and ONLY to be changed by trained and certified service personnel, or as guided by
Emerson Process Management, Rosemount Division support personnel.
Parameter
Index
Number
Description
ST_REV 1 The revision level of the static data associated with the function
block. The revision value increments each time a static parameter
value in the block is changed.
TAG_DESC 2 The user description of the intended application of the block.
STRATEGY 3 The strategy field can be used to identify grouping of blocks. This
data is not checked or processed by the block.
ALERT_KEY 4 The identification number of the plant unit. This information may
be used in the host for sorting alarms, etc.
MODE_BLK 5 The actual, target, permitted, and normal modes of the block.
Target: The mode to “go to”
Actual: The mode the “block is currently in”
Permitted: Allowed modes that target may take on
Normal: Most common mode for target
BLOCK_ERR 6 This parameter reflects the error status associated with the
hardware or software components associated with a block. It is a
bit string, so that multiple errors may be shown.
UPDATE_EVT 7 This alert is generated by any change to the static data.
BLOCK_ALM 8 The block alarm is used for all configuration, hardware, connection
failure or system problems in the block. The cause of the alert is
entered in the subcode field. The first alert to become active will
set the Active status in the Status parameter. As soon as the
Unreported status is cleared by the alert reporting task, another
block alert may be reported without clearing the Active status, if
the subcode has changed.
TRANSDUCER_DIRECTORY 9 Directory that specifies the number and starting indices of the
transducers in the transducer block.
TRANSDUCER_TYPE 10 Identifies the transducer.
