Programming via
HART Utilizing the HART protocol, the T798 can be accessed and
programmed for dual two-wire RTD or dual thermocouple measurement; transmitting
or displaying differential or average temperatures. For RTDs secure or
independent dual RTD measurements can be made. Other functions can be set using
Hart, such as input dampening, burnout detection, fail-safe report (sensor or
transmitter failure produces over or under output range condition), loop test
(manual control of output current), line frequency filtering, smart smoothing
(filters small changes but reacts quickly to large changes), internal
temperature, cold junction temperature and display or transmitter
identification (e.g. display label, tag ID, descriptor, message, sensor serial
number, configuration date, etc.).
Configuring via
Display For quick and easy configuration the optional one line and
two line alphanumeric displays (model T79D-1 and T79D-2) are useful for setting
up and trimming the 4-20mA output or display reading to correct for sensor
errors. These displays provide a 4 digit reading of the temperature (e.g. 2345,
234.5, 23.45) and will alert the user in the case of sensor failure or burnout
for both RTDs and thermocouples by flashing fail and
safe sequentially.
The display will also indicate the measured temperature even
if the signal is in an out of range condition for the output. For example the
factory default setting is a J-type thermocouple 40 to 200°F input to
4-20mA output. If the input measures 300°F, which is out of the configured
40 to 200°F range, then the output will be forced to its maximum level
23mA, however the display will accurately read 300.0°F.
The displays can be set for degrees F, C, R and K. The
two-line display indicates the units and clearly displays the sensor types
during configuration. The one line display does not show the units (i.e. F, C,
R or K) unless it is physically labeled and the input types during
configuration are coded (see user manual for the 4 digit codes).
Safe Installations Both
the T797 and T798 are available in intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically
safe configurations. The non-intrinsically safe versions are typically used
with the alphanumeric displays and the windowed explosion proof (EP) enclosure
for hazardous environments, or with the DIN rail mounting option instead of the
EP enclosure for benign panel mount applications. |

The intrinsically safe versions are designed to meet the
Entity Parameters necessary for FM, CSA and CENELEC approval (pending) for
Class I Division I, Groups A, B, C and D; and Class II, Division I, Groups E,
F, & G and Class III Division I, when installed in accordance with Drawing
#732-0220-00 for T797 and #732-0221-00 for T798. See the specifications for
Nonincendive approval ratings and for the approval ratings of the EP
enclosures.
The T79X series of smart programmable transmitters offers
the features, functions and options required for easy operation in the most
demanding applications. Accuracy, repeatability and long term stability
performance are essentially the best that technology has to offer. See the
Specification section of this data sheet for more details.
Application The T797
and T798 are ideal for any application requiring a 4-20mA two-wire transmitter
loop output in proportion to a temperature, mV or resistance input. In
applications where the advantages of communications with a HART based host
computer or hand held terminal unit are utilized, the T798 proves to be a
valuable solution. It offers the on line diagnostic functions and calibration
certification features employed by a growing number of advanced users.
Additionally, the efficiency advantages of PC based range programming can also
be realized.
The T797 with the easy field programming display option
provides a flexible off the shelf solution to the majority of
process temperature measurement applications, minimizing inventory requirements
for spares.
Either mounted in an explosion proof enclosure or wired
through intrinsic safety barriers, the T79X series can meet the stringent
safety requirements of most hazardous environments.
Calibration Trimming of
the display and output, as well as calibration utilizing an external source is
described in the user manual, which is included with each transmitter
shipped. |
