Appendix H Advanced Configuration
Transducer Block
OVERVIEW The Advanced Configuration Transducer Block contains functions for the
advanced configuration of the Rosemount 5300 transmitter. It includes
functions, such as amplitude threshold settings for filtering of disturbing
echoes and noise, simulation of measurement values, Empty Tank Handling
for optimizing measurements close to the tank bottom, and strapping table for
volume measurements.

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.
100 = Standard pressure with calibration
XD_ERROR 11 A transducer block alarm subcode.
