Register Transducer Block
F.1
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.

by trained and certified service personnel, or as guided by Emerson
™
Process Management, Rosemount Division support personnel.
