8.3.3 Parameters for Wireless
Communication
(1) Network Information
Concentrator object block : Configuration
Allows confirming the network information.
(2) Update Time
CO block : Data publication period
Sets the update time value to 0.5 to 3,600 seconds.
When update time is set 0 seconds, the transmitter
is stopped to update process variables by way
of the field wireless network. And the transmitter
continues to measure process variables with
special interval time internally.
(3) Measurement Mode
TRANSDUCER block: Measurement Mode
The setting affects the battery life; it becomes
shorter in the continuous mode.
When the update period is set to 1 second or less
in intermittent mode, the mode is automatically
switched to continuous mode. When the update
period is 1 second, the mode is continuous mode,
regardless of the measurement mode.
(4) Measurement Rate
TRANSDUCER block:Measurement Rate
Reads the measurement rate value from 0.5 to
3600 seconds. The shorter the measurement
period, the shorter the battery life.
(5) Remaining battery life
UAPMO block: Energy Left
The number of days of remaining battery life is
indicated assuming that a transmitter has been
working under ambient temperature condition as
23 degrees Celsius. It takes several days for the
indicated value to be stabiilzed after the power on
and initialization of the remaining battery life.
UAPMO block: Reset Energy Left
When changing batteries, the remaining battery life
is initialized by Reset Energy Left parameter.
(6) LCD display
The following steps describe how to set LCD
display.
1. On/Off of display
When “Enable” in LCD Mode is selected, the
LCD displays a set of screens to be shown and
turns off for the specified time based on LCD
Intermittent Time, and the display keeps the
cycle repeatedly. Not selecting this parameter
turns the LCD off.
2. On/Off of continuous display mode
When “Enable” is set to LCD Mode and zero is
set to LCD Intermittent Time, the LCD displays
continuously.
3. On/Off of bar graph
Select “LCD Bargraph ON” in LCD Mode when
the bar graph is required.
When the wireless connection process is in the
status of “ready,” “pause,” or “join,” the LCD display
stays on regardless of the status in LCD Mode.
NOTE
When the device detects AL01 and AL02, the
LCD display stays on regardless of the status
in LCD mode. See Table 9.3 and 9.4 Error
Message Summary for details.
8.3.4 Tag and Device Information
If these are specified when ordering, the designated
Tag No. and device information are set and
shipped. Tag No. and device information can be
checked as follows.
• Procedure to call up the Tag No. and Device
information
- Device Tag ( Software Tag )
This is specified when writing characters (up
to 16 characters) of amplifiers TAG that differ
from characters specified in Tag No.
Refer to section 7.4 “Connection to the Field
Wireless Network” for confirmation.
- Tag Description
This is a universal parameter to store the
comment that describes the content of the
tag located in the TRANSDUCER and AI
blocks.
The AI1, AI2, and AI3 blocks of the AI blocks
correspond to the differential pressure, static
pressure, and temperature, respectively.
