This section contains information on the resource block for the
Rosemount 8732 Magnetic Flowmeter Transmitter. Descriptions of all
resource block parameters, errors, and diagnostics are included. Also, the
modes, alarm detection, status handling, virtual communication relationships
(VCRs), and troubleshooting are discussed.
Definition
The resource block defines the physical resources of the device, such as
measurement and memory. The resource block also handles functionality,
such as shed times, that is common across multiple blocks. The block has no
linkable inputs or outputs, and it performs memory-level diagnostics.
PARAMETERS AND
DESCRIPTIONS
Table F-1 lists all of the configurable parameters of the resource block,
including the descriptions and index numbers for each parameter. Newer
software revisions have added functionality and some index numbers have
changed. To determine the software revision of a transmitter, check the
parameter SOFTWARE_REVISION_MAJOR. The most recent transmitters
have a label on the electronic board stack.
