Configure the AI Block
A minimum of four parameters are required to configure the AI Block. The parameters are
described below with example configurations shown at the end of this section.
CHANNEL
Select the channel that corresponds to the desired sensor measurement. The Rosemount
5300 measures Level (channel 1), Distance (channel 2), Level Rate (channel 3), Signal
Strength (channel 4), Volume (channel 5), Internal Temperature (channel 6), Upper Product
Volume (channel 7), Lower Product Volume (channel 8), Interface Distance (channel 9),
Upper Product Thickness (channel 10), Interface Level (channel 11), Interface Level Rate
(channel 12), and Interface Signal Strength (channel 13).
L_TYPE
The L_TYPE parameter defines the relationship of the transmitter measurement (Level,
Distance, Level Rate, Signal Strength, Volume, and Average Temperature) to the desired
output of the AI Block. The relationship can be direct or indirect root.
Direct
Select direct when the desired output will be the same as the transmitter measurement
(Level, Distance, Level Rate, Signal Strength, Volume, and Average Temperature).
Indirect
Select indirect when the desired output is a calculated measurement based on the
transmitter measurement (Level, Distance, Level Rate, Signal Strength, Volume, and
