13 1. Introduction Overview The Model PC10 Configurator is a hardware/software package that supports remote communication and configuration for all Foxboro Intelligent Transmitters. It provides all of the functionality of the Foxboro Hand-Held Terminal (HHT) with the superior display, keyboard, storage, and printing capabilities of a personal computer system. Because more data can be displayed on a PC screen, virtually all operations require fewer keystrokes on the PC10 than they would on the HHT. Use of a PC allows additional functionality such as unlimited transmitter database storage, printouts, output trending, enhanced diagnostic capability, and on-line help screens. The package includes an external modem that allows operation with any IBM XT-compatible or better computer having a minimum of 495K RAM and a serial communication port. Communication with Intelligent Transmitters uses proven frequency shift keying (FSK) techniques that do not affect transmitter output signal. Operations can be password protected if desired one level allows recalibration and another level allows reconfiguration and recalibration. Whether used in conjunction with or as an alternative to the Hand-Held Terminal, the PC10 Configurator is a powerful and effective tool for improving efficiency of your engineering, installation, and maintenance operations. NOTE: A video tape describing the features, installation, and operation of the PC10 is included as part of the PC10 package. We recommend that you watch the video tape before installing and operating the PC10. Features Supports all Foxboro Intelligent Transmitters Emulates Hand-Held Terminal Functions - Accurate reranging without recalibration - Remotely set transmitter output to calibrate other devices in the loop - Preconfigure, copy, and clone databases - Upload and download transmitter databases Added Functionality - Unlimited transmitter database storage on floppy or hard disk - Upload/download databases to HHT Memory Paks - Full screen transmitter database display - Printout of transmitter databases - Output trending to aid in loop tuning (requires VGA monitor) - Three levels of password protection 1

Transmitter Database Storage (File) The FILE menu contains the transmitter database and file manipulation functions. The pulldown menu for selecting the functions is shown in Figure 20. Figure 20. File Menu Screen 35

48 MI April Operation Transmitter database files may be saved to keep a record of each transmitter configuration. These files may be used for restoring transmitter configuration, pre-configuration, and for copying a file to another transmitter. Comments may be added to transmitter files for keeping a maintenance history. Files are stored using the first eight characters of the tag number. The file extensions indicate the transmitter type and index number. For example, Transmitter Tag = FT102A - EAST 1 Transmitter Type = 820 Series would be defaulted to: FT102A_E.P01 where P indicates transmitter type code 01 is the index number The transmitter type codes are: 820 Series: P 860 Series: Q RTT10: T CFT15: D I/A Series Pressure: X Vortex: V IMT10/IMT20: M IMT25: I ph/ise/orp: H EC: E CFT10: C RTT20: R To avoid overwriting existing database files, the index number in the file extension automatically increments each time you add a file with the same tag number. Whenever you must select a database file, the following information is displayed for each file (as shown in Figure 21): Tag Number Date created Time created File name Files that contain comments are indicated by +notes 36

49 3. Operation MI April 1997 Save Xmtr to File Figure 21. Select a Database File This function reads all parameters from the connected transmitter and saves them to a file stored on the PC. After all parameters are uploaded, you must enter a filename to save the file. You may use either the default file name (Tag Number) or enter a custom name. To set the directory in which the files will be stored, use the Set DOS Path function, as described on page 41. It is highly recommended that Save Xmtr to File (under the File top menu item) be the first operation you perform on any transmitter. This will allow you to restore the transmitter to its original configuration if you make a mistake in configuring or calibrating the transmitter. Preconfigure Transmitter Select this option to preconfigure a database and save it in a file for later downloading to a transmitter or to modify an existing transmitter file. To do this, you first select a transmitter type to be preconfigured, as follows: Figure 22. Preconfigure Transmitter Database Screen 37

50 MI April Operation After you select the transmitter type and press ENTER, you have the option to modify an existing database file. If you want to modify an existing file, press Y when prompted. Otherwise, a default database of the selected type will be loaded. You can then edit all configurable parameters using the configuration data entry screen. Refer to Appendix C for configurations screens for various transmitter types. After configuration operations are completed, the new information is then saved back to the database file. The database can then be downloaded to the transmitter by using the Write Config File to Xmtr option, which is described in the next section. Write Config File to Xmtr This function writes a previously configured transmitter database file (configuration parameters only) to the connected transmitter. Note that the database file must be the same type as the transmitter. Good Figure 23. Write Config File Screen Select the datafile to be written to the transmitter by moving the highlight to the desired file with the arrow keys and then pressing ENTER. The list of files is displayed as follows: 38

51 3. Operation MI April 1997 Good Figure 24. Transmitter File List Screen The configuration parameters are then downloaded to the connected transmitter. NOTE: When writing the configuration file for a CFT10/CFT15 transmitter, the tube coefficients will not be downloaded to the transmitter. Selecting Restore Xmtr from File will download the tube coefficients. Restore Xmtr from File This function restores the complete transmitter database file back to the transmitter. It should be used whenever you replace an assembly. To perform this operation, you first select a file that contains the database to be reloaded into the transmitter. Note that only a file that was created with Save Xmtr to File can be restored. Also, the database must be the same type as the transmitter. WARNING: Before using this function, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you back up the existing transmitter database with a Save Xmtr to File operation. Since the factory does not maintain the databases on every transmitter shipped, overwriting the original coefficients with different values may result in permanent loss of the accuracy and repeatability resulting from factory calibration. Copy Xmtr File This function allows you to duplicate transmitter files and to create backup files. Since duplicate transmitter files do not have the same maintenance history as the original files, comments are not copied to the duplicate files. To copy the maintenance history, use the Copy Comments function in the Xmtr File Comments menu. 39

52 MI April Operation Delete Xmtr File This function deletes a selected transmitter file. Xmtr File Comments This function permits you to keep a maintenance history for the transmitter. You can use it to add comments to the data file, view comments already written, or copy the comments to another data file. You can enter comments four lines at a time. The comments are automatically date stamped when they are written to the file. These operations are intended to facilitate maintaining the service record of a transmitter. Note that comments are stored in the PC10 file and are not stored in transmitter memory. Good Figure 25. File Option (820) Xmtr Comments Good Figure 26. File Option Add File Comments 40

53 3. Operation MI April 1997 Select DOS Path This function sets the drive and path to the subdirectory that contains the desired datafiles. You may specify any valid drive and path. All transmitter database file read and write operations will be to the specified subdirectory. After you have entered a new path, check the displayed value to be sure it is correct. If you enter an incorrect path, an error message will be displayed. Note that the directory selected must already exist; PC10 will not attempt to create a directory that does not exist. Good Figure 27. Select DOS Path Backup Database Files This function allows you to backup database files to a target directory and path that you specify. The sequence of screens is shown in Figure 28 through Figure 30. From the File menu, select Backup to start the backup operation (or Quit to quit). Good Figure 28. Backup Database Files Screen 1 41

78 MI April 1997 Diagnostic Procedures Appendix A. Troubleshooting If a problem occurs during PC10 operation, an error message is usually displayed that will help you localize the fault and take appropriate action. If this does not work, use the following general troubleshooting procedure: 1. Check the loop wiring and verify that power is present on all devices and that all devices are connected properly. 2. Check the LEDs on the modem to determine the modem status. When the Listen light is on, the modem is in the receive mode, ready to accept incoming data. When the PC10 attempts to communicate with the transmitter, the modem is in the send mode and the Talk light blinks on and off. If the Listen light is not on, make sure you are set to the correct communication port. 3. To determine whether the problem is a communication failure, a computer failure, or a transmitter failure, substitute an HHT for the computer and see if the problem persists. If the HHT works correctly, see failure analysis flow chart (Figure 52) at the end of this Appendix. If the HHT does not work, check the transmitter. 4. If the computer is OK and communication is OK, use the PC10 Test - Diagnostic functions to check transmitter status. If a FAIL condition is present, take action to correct that condition. 5. If the transmitter, communication system, and computer are OK, check the PC10 software. Verify that all files reside in the specified directories. If this does not identify the problem, try reloading the PC10 software and/or restoring database files from your backup. 6. If all else fails, contact Foxboro Technical Assistance Center at FOXBORO. When calling, please have available all pertinent information about your PC (processor type, speed, RAM, disk size, etc.), your software (Version No.), and a description of your problem. It is also helpful if your PC is running PC10 at the time you call. 66

95 Appendix B. Calibration Data This appendix describes the calibration procedures and data required for the types of transmitters used with the PC10 configurator. 820, 860, I/A Series Pressure Transmitters This section describes the calibration functions and procedures applicable to 820, 860, and I/A Series pressure transmitters. Functions The calibration functions you can perform on 820 and 860 Series transmitters are: Re-Zero Transmitter 1-Point Calibration 2-Point Calibration ReRange ma Calibration Default Calibration 2-Point Conversion (820 Series Transmitters only) 5-Point Conversion (820 Series Transmitters only) Each of the functions is described in this section. Calibration The transmitter output may be re-calibrated with any of the following procedures Re-Zero Transmitter 1-Point Calibration 2-Point Calibration The Re-Zero and 1-Point Calibration procedures adjust the transmitter output. The Re-Zero procedure assumes that the Lower Range Value (LRV) is zero. The 1-Point Calibration procedure allows you to specify the Lower Range Value (LRV), which may or may not be zero. The 2-Point Calibration procedure allows you to specify both Lower Range (LRV) and Upper Range Values (URV). Each transmitter is calibrated at the factory to a specified range. If the new range is the same as the factory range, you should perform only a re-zero or a 1-point calibration procedure. If, however, the rerange operation changes the span by a 2-to-1 ratio or greater, you may need to perform a 2-point calibration. (Refer to MI , MI , and MI , ReRange, for equations that define measurement accuracy after reranging.) If the new span is 83

96 MI April 1997 Appendix B. Calibration Data less than 2x or 1/2 of the existing span, perform a ReRange rather than a calibration with pressure equipment. For all calibration procedures, calibration points are read from the transmitter at the start of the procedure. Also note that if the transmitter is configured for a square root output, the PC10 will place it in linear mode during calibration and reset it to square root mode at the end of the procedure. NOTE: Transmitters must be calibrated using forward action (increasing input increases output). If your transmitter has reverse output action (increasing input decreases output), calibrate it so that calibrated LRV = desired URV and calibrated URV = desired LRV. Then, after calibration, change the LRV and URV back to the correct values. Similarly, if LRV pressure is negative or if URV = 0, calibrate the transmitter so that LRV = 0 and URV = a positive value equal to the span of the transmitter. After you complete the calibration procedure, reset the LRV and URV to the desired values. Example: To calibrate for a range of 100 to 0 inches H 2 O, first calibrate the LRV to 0inches H 2 0 and then calibrate the URV to 100 inches H 2 O. Then rerange the LRV to 100 inches H 2 O and rerange the URV to 0 inches H 2 0. Re-Zero Transmitter In this function, the system first prompts you to set the transmitter input to zero. The measurement screen is then displayed, so that you can verify that the measurement is actually at zero. The system then reads five calibration points, generates a new offset value, and loads the new value into the transmitter. The transmitter is then automatically placed on-line and you return to the Calibrate menu. NOTE: If the transmitter was previously calibrated incorrectly, the measurement from the transmitter may not agree with the applied pressure. For example, if 50 inches H 2 O was applied during calibration, but the user typed in 25 inches H 2 O by mistake, the measured pressure, after downloading the new calibration data to the transmitter, would be in error by 25 inches H 2 O. 1-Point Calibration In this function, you calibrate the transmitter at the Lower Range Value (LRV). You must enter the desired value of the LRV calibration point, as shown in Figure 53. After entering the values, you then apply a known reference pressure for the calibration point and observe the measured value on the screen. (If they do not agree, see note above.) If they agree, press ENTER. The calibration procedure is then complete and you return to the Calibrate menu. 84

97 Appendix B. Calibration Data MI April Point Calibration Figure Point Calibration (820) This function calibrates the transmitter output at two points, the Lower Range Value (LRV) and the Upper Range Value (URV). The sequence of steps is as follows: 1. Apply pressure for the LRV point. 2. Press ENTER. The system then takes five readings and averages the results to calculate the new offset. 3. Apply a known pressure for the URV point. 4. Press ENTER. The system then takes five readings and averages the results to calculate the new slope. The system then loads the new slope and offset into the transmitter. The procedure is now complete and the system returns you to the main Calibrate menu. ReRange Good This function permits you to change the Lower Range Value (LRV) and/or the Upper Range Value (URV) without applying pressure to the transmitter. If you make a very large change in range (turndown ratio greater than 2), however, you may want to recalibrate in order to maintain desired accuracy. (Refer to MI and MI Section for a discussion of accuracy following a rerange operation.) The procedure for performing a ReRange operation is as follows: 1. From the Calibrate menu, select ReRange and press ENTER. This will bring up either the screen shown in Figure 54 or the one in Figure 55 depending on whether Measurement #2 is On or Off and whether the Primary and Secondary is Linear or Square Root. 2. Move to the Lower Range Value (LRV) field and enter the new value. 85

98 MI April 1997 Appendix B. Calibration Data 3. Move to the Upper Range Value (URV) field and enter the desired new value. Note that the new value cannot exceed the value shown in the bottom left corner of the window nor can it be a value that would yield a span less than the minimum span shown in the bottom right corner of the window. 4. When the values are acceptable, press F4 to save and exit from the screen. The PC10 will then download the new values to the transmitter and return you to the Calibrate menu. Good Figure 54.

To determine whether or not you need to perform this function, insert an accurate ma meter in the loop wiring. If the meter reading does not agree with the ma value shown by the transmitter, you should perform an ma calibration. Make adjustments as required to make the meter readings agree with the ma values reported on the PC10 from the transmitter. To perform an ma calibration, execute the following procedure: 1. From the main Calibrate menu, select ma Calibrate and press ENTER. 2. A screen appears that asks you to select an adjustment option that will change the transmitter 4 ma output (small or large increase or decrease). Select the type of change you want to make and press ENTER. Good Figure 56. ma Calibrate Screen 3. Observe the modified output at the upper right of the screen. If further changes are needed, select the desired change and press ENTER. If acceptable, select Quit and press ENTER. 4. You are then asked to repeat the steps for the 20 ma point. Press Y to continue or N to terminate the procedure. 5. When calibration is complete, you are asked if you want to save the changes to the transmitter. To do so, press Y. The system then saves the new value to the transmitter and returns you to the main Calibrate menu. NOTE: After calibrating a transmitter with a 4-20 ma output signal, use Loop- Cal/mA procedure to check the underrange and overrange output values to make sure they extend beyond 4 ma and 20 ma respectively. 87

100 MI April 1997 Appendix B. Calibration Data Default Calibration A default calibration restores the transmitter database to stored default values. WARNING: This operation should be performed only if the transmitter does not operate correctly. After downloading, the transmitter must be RE-CALIBRATED and RE-CONFIGURED. To perform this operation, execute the following procedure: 1. From the main Calibrate menu, select Default Calibration and press ENTER. This will display the screen shown in Figure 57. Good Figure 57. Default Calibration Screen 2.

Good Figure Point Conversion Screen 2. You then have the option to enter a new model code. 3. The database will be loaded into the transmitter and you will be asked to confirm or enter the Lower Range Value (LRV) and Upper Range Value (URV). 4. Then, you are asked if you want to apply Lower Calibration Pressure (LRV). The screen will show measured values with the pressure applied. Press ENTER when the reading is stable. 5. The system will ask if you want to apply the upper range calibration pressure. 6. When the procedure is complete, the new data is loaded into the transmitter and you are returned to the main Calibrate menu. 5-Point Conversion (820 Transmitters Only) This procedure is used when you convert a conventional 820 to an Intelligent 820 or when you replace an intelligent amplifier and a complete database file does not exist. If the complete database file was created previously, using the File - Save Xmtr to File command, do NOT perform a 5-point conversion. Instead, do a File - Restore Transmitter Database operation. The 5-Point Conversion is used when you need greater accuracy than afforded by the 2-Point Conversion. To perform this function, execute the following procedure: 89

To change any value, select the value and enter a new value. 5. The system will then prompt you to apply pressure for Point 1 (increasing pressure). The measurement will be displayed and calibration will proceed. 6. The process repeats for each additional point. 7. When you have entered and accepted all 9 points, the calibration is loaded into the transmitter and you are returned to the main Calibrate menu. RTT10 Temperature Transmitters This section describes the calibration functions and procedures applicable to the RTT10 Series transmitters. Functions The calibration functions you can perform on RTT10 Series transmitters are: Re-Zero Transmitter 1-Point Calibration 2-Point Calibration Custom Input Curve ReRange 90

103 Appendix B. Calibration Data MI April 1997 ma Calibration Restore Factory Calibration Enable Custom Curve Restore Factory ma Each of the functions is described in this section. Calibration RTT10 calibration allows you to correct the transmitter output for differences between the input sensor and the standard curve for sensors of that type. The Re-Zero, 1-Point, and 2-Point Calibrations automatically calculate the temperature points and offset values. The custom curve function allows you to enter up to ten sets of points, but you must determine the offset values. Re-Zero Transmitter In this function, the software first prompts you to set the transmitter input to zero. The measurement screen is then displayed, so that you can verify that the measurement is actually at zero. (If it is not, you will have to correct the problem before continuing the procedure.) The software then reads five calibration points, generates a new offset value, and loads the new value into the transmitter. The transmitter is then automatically placed On-line and you are returned to the Calibrate menu. 1-Point Calibration In this function, you calibrate the transmitter at the Lower Range Value (LRV). You must enter the desired value of the LRV calibration point, as shown in Figure 53. After entering the values, you then apply a known reference temperature (or mv) for the calibration point and observe the measured value on the screen. (If they do not agree, performing this procedure should correct the problem.) If they agree, press ENTER. The calibration procedure is then complete and you return to the Calibrate menu. 91

104 MI April 1997 Appendix B. Calibration Data 2-Point Calibration Figure Point Calibration (RTT10) This function calibrates the transmitter output at two points, the Lower Range Value (LRV) and the Upper Range Value (URV). The sequence of steps is as follows: 1. Apply temperature or mv value for the LRV point. 2. Press ENTER. The system takes five readings and averages the results to calculate the new LRV offset. 3. Apply temperature or mv value for the URV point. 4. Press ENTER. The system takes five readings and averages the results to calculate the new URV offset. The system then loads the values into the transmitter. The procedure is now complete and the system returns you to the main Calibrate menu. ReRange Good This function permits you to change the Lower Range Value (LRV) and the Upper Range Value (URV) without applying an input to the transmitter sensor. The procedure for performing a ReRange operation is as follows: 1. From the Calibrate menu, select ReRange and press ENTER. This will bring up the screen shown in Figure From the screen of Figure 54, move to the Lower Range Value (LRV) field and enter the new value. 3. Move to the Upper Range Value (URV) field and enter the desired new value. Note that the new value cannot exceed the value shown in the bottom left corner of the window nor can it be a value that would yield a span less than the minimum span shown in the bottom right corner of the window. 92

RTT20 Temperature Transmitters The calibration functions and procedures applicable to the RTT20 Series transmitters are: 1-Point Calibration 2-Point Calibration 95

108 MI April 1997 Appendix B. Calibration Data 3-Point Calibration 5-Point Calibration Custom Input Curve ReRange ma Calibration Restore Factory ma The 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-Point Calibration and the Custom Input Curve functions are similar to those described in the previous section on the RTT10 except as noted below. The ReRange, macalibration, and Restore Factory ma functions are the same as those described for the RTT10. 1-Point Calibration The RTT20 permits you to select any temperature within the configured range that is of particular interest to you. You are not required to use the LRV as the calibration point. The net effect is that a constant offset is utilized over the entire sensor curve. To view or change the value entered, see note in Custom Input Curve section below. 2-Point Calibration The RTT20 permits you to select any two temperatures in the region of interest within the configured range of the transmitter. You are not required to use the LRV and URV as the calibration points. The temperatures must be increasing in value. The resulting offsets are then straightline calculated to the LRV and URV. Picture an offset line defining the correction to the standard, starting from the LRV, passing through the two calibration points, and continuing to the URV. To view or change any value entered, see note in Custom Input Curve section below. CAUTION: After performing this calibration, the transmitter should only be used within that configured range LRV and URV). If a rerange or reconfiguration is performed, the transmitter must either be recalibrated or the calibration data cleared. 3- and 5- Point Calibration The RTT20 permits you to select any three (or five) temperatures in the region of interest within the configured range of the transmitter. The temperature must be increasing in value. The resulting offsets are then straightline calculated to the LRV and URV. Picture an offset line defining the correction to the standard, starting from the LRV, passing through the three (or five) calibration points, and continuing to the URV. To view or change any values entered, see note in Custom Input Curve section below. CAUTION: After performing this calibration, the transmitter should only be used within that configured range LRV and URV). If a rerange or reconfiguration is performed, the transmitter must either be recalibrated or the calibration data cleared. 96

109 Appendix B. Calibration Data MI April 1997 Custom Input Curve The custom curve screen functions a little differently. If the Number of Points field is 0, then the transmitter is using the factory installed calibration. There is no enable or disable of the custom curve. If the number of points is 2 to 22, then the transmitter will use the calibration data displayed. To Enable the calibration data, the number of points field will be nonzero and calibration data must appear in the appropriate fields. To Disable the Calibration, press [F5] to clear all values. NOTE: Since it is not possible to leave the default values in memory when performing a custom input curve calibration, it is strongly recommended that the transmitter data base, with the Number of Points = 0, be stored to a file prior to making drastic changes in the calibration data. CAUTION: If all the Measurement/Reference fields are 0, then the number of points must be 0 prior to exiting the custom curve screen. If the number of points is not zero (2-22) and no measured/reference data is entered into the fields on the custom curve data screen, then the transmitter will drive its output to whatever 0 means for that sensor. The transmitter will not respond to any change in input in this condition. The format for entering data in the custom curve screen is to enter a Measurement value and a Reference value. For example, if a measurement value was but you wanted , enter as the measurement number and as the reference number. NOTE: The calibration data from any of the above calibration options is stored in the custom curve memory locations. Therefore, if you wish to view or change a specific data point, you can enter the custom curve selection and view, edit, or clear all values.

When using multiple applications, each application requires separate configuration and calibration information. After you calibrate an application, the PC10 software may not restore the transmitter configuration information to the Number of Applications and Application Select choices to which it was set prior to the calibration. To circumvent this anomaly: (1) download the correct multiple application information to the transmitter, (2) perform the application calibration in the normal manner, and (3) verify the transmitter configuration and restore the multiple application information to the original, if necessary. 2. If you upload a previously stored configuration from the transmitter, the screen displays the maximum possible percentage range value rather than the currently stored value. Use the local display on the transmitter to verify that the stored value is correct. As an alternative, you can re-enter the desired value in the 870ITEC Configuration Screen and download to the transmitter. 155
