OUNDATION
Fieldbus
Overview
Each F
OUNDATION
fieldbus configuration tool or host device has a different
way of displaying and performing configurations. Some will use Device
Descriptions (DD) and DD Methods to make configuration and displaying of
data consistent across host platforms. Since there is no requirement that a
configuration tool or host support these features, this section will describe
how to reconfigure the device manually.
This section covers basic operation, software functionality, and basic
configuration procedures for the Rosemount 5600 Radar Transmitter with
F
OUNDATION
fieldbus (Device Revision 1). For detailed information about
F
OUNDATION
fieldbus technology and the function blocks used in the
Rosemount 5600 transmitter, refer to the F
OUNDATION
fieldbus Block manual
(00809-0100-4783).

Function Blocks
Resource Block
The Resource block contains diagnostic, hardware, electronics, and mode
handling information. There are no linkable inputs or outputs to the Resource
Block. See Appendix D: Resource Block for additional information.
Transducer Block
The Transducer block allows a user to view the different parameters, errors,
and diagnostics in the transmitter. It also includes information to configure the
transmitter for the application it is used in. Refer to the F
OUNDATION
fieldbus
Block manual (00809-0100-4783) for additional information.
Level Transducer Block
The Level Transducer block contains transmitter information including
diagnostics and the ability to configure the radar transmitter, set to factory
defaults, and restart the transmitter. See Appendix C: Level Transducer Block
for additional information.
Register Transducer Block
The Register Transducer Block allows a service engineer to access all
database registers in the device. See Appendix E: Register Transducer Block
for additional information.
Analog Input (AI) Block
The Analog Input (AI) function block processes field device measurements
and makes them available to other function blocks. The output value from the
AI block is in engineering units and contains a status indicating the quality of
the measurement. The measuring device may have several measurements or
derived values available in different channels. Use the channel number to
define the variable that the AI block processes and passes on to linked
blocks. See “Configure the AI Block” on page 6-10 for additional information.
