Checklist for commissioning
The following checklist refers to the configuration via the NI-Fieldbus configurator. In
general, the operation is rather similar for other network design tools.
1. Configure the network and integrate the device.
– Identify the device by means of the device ID and serial number.
– If appropriate, assign a new PD_TAG, see page 42.
2. Configure the resource block, see page 44.
– Check the position of the hardware switch in WRITE_LOCK
– If "locked" is displayed, change the position of the DIP-switch, see page 41.
– If appropriate, change the block tag (right-hand click on tree).
– Set MODE_BLK_TARGET to Out-of-Service.
– Reset the device to factory values by using the function RESTART => Defaults
(this function may also be available with a right-hand click on the device name)
– If appropriate, assign a tag description (TAG_DESC).
– Set MODE_BLK_TARGET to Auto.
3. Configure the transducer block, see page 45.
– If appropriate, change the block tag (right-hand click on tree).
– Set MODE_BLK_TARGET to Out-of-Service.
– If appropriate, assign a tag description (TAG_DESC)
– Configure the device as described in Chapter 6.4
– Set MODE_BLK_TARGET to Auto.
4. Configure the analog input block, see page 48
– If appropriate, change the block tag (right-hand click on tree).
– Set MODE_BLK_TARGET to Out-of-Service.
– If appropriate, assign a tag description (TAG_DESC).
– Set Channel to measured value or distance.
– Set L_TYPE to "DIRECT" if the OUT value is to be in technical units e.g. ft to
"INDIRECT" if the OUT value is to be scaled, see page 49
– Set the desired output damping in PV_TIME.
– If appropriate, set the advisory and critical alarms.
– Set MODE_BLK_TARGET to Auto.
5. Link the function blocks in the function block editor.
6. Download the configuration (menu configure).
7. If appropriate, check the configuration by using the SIMULATE function,
