Customer-specific configuration

Complex measurement tasks require additional functions to be configured that the user can individually select, set and
adapt to his process conditions by setting the appropriate parameters. You have two options:
• Parameterization using the configuration program (FOUNDATION Fieldbus) → Page 45 ff.
• Parameterization using the local display (optional) → Page 51 ff.

! Note!
All functions and device parameters are described in detail in the Description of Device Functions manual, which is a
separate part of these Operating Instructions.

Æ
Data storage Page 55

The configuration of the transmitter can be stored on the integrated T-DAT data storage device.

! Note!
For time-saving commissioning, the settings stored in the T-DAT can be transmitted:
• For equivalent measuring points (equivalent configuration)
• In the event of device/board replacement.

! Note!
Always start troubleshooting with the checklist on Page 73 if faults occur after commissioning or
during operation. The routine takes you directly to the cause of the problem and the appropriate
remedial measures.

Proline Promass 83 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Safety instructions

1 Safety instructions

1.1 Designated use

The measuring device described in these Operating Instructions is to be used only for measuring the
mass flow rate of liquids and gases. At the same time, the system also measures fluid density and
fluid temperature. These parameters are then used to calculate other variables such as volume flow.
Fluids with widely differing properties can be measured.
Examples:
• Chocolate, condensed milk, liquid sugar
• Oils, fats
• Acids, alkalis, lacquers, paints, solvents and cleaning agents
• Pharmaceuticals, catalysts, inhibitors
• Suspensions
• Gases, liquefied gases, etc.
Resulting from incorrect use or from use other than that designated the operational safety of the
measuring devices can be suspended. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages being
produced from this.

1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation

Note the following points:
• Installation, connection to the electricity supply, commissioning and maintenance of the device
must be carried out by trained, qualified specialists authorized to perform such work by the
facility's owner-operator. The specialist must have read and understood these Operating
Instructions and must follow the instructions they contain.
• The device must be operated by persons authorized and trained by the facility's owner-operator.
Strict compliance with the instructions in these Operating Instructions is mandatory.
• Endress+Hauser will be happy to assist in clarifying the corrosion-resistant properties of materials
wetted by special fluids, including fluids used for cleaning. However, minor changes in
temperature, concentration or in the degree of contamination in the process may result in
variations in corrosion resistance. For this reason, Endress+Hauser does not accept any
responsibility with regard to the corrosion resistance of materials wetted by fluids in a specific
application. The user is responsible for the choice of suitable wetted materials in the process.
• If carrying out welding work on the piping, the welding unit may not be grounded by means of
the measuring device.
• The installer must ensure that the measuring system is correctly wired in accordance with the
wiring diagrams. The transmitter must be grounded, unless the power supply is galvanically
isolated.
• Invariably, local regulations governing the opening and repair of electrical devices apply.

1.3 Operational safety

Note the following points:
• Measuring systems for use in hazardous environments are accompanied by separate "Ex
documentation", which is an integral part of these Operating Instructions. Strict compliance with
the installation instructions and ratings as stated in this supplementary documentation is
mandatory.
The symbol on the front of this supplementary Ex documentation indicates the approval and the
certification body ( 0 Europe, 2 USA, 1 Canada).
• The measuring device complies with the general safety requirements in accordance with
EN 61010-1 , the EMC requirements of EN 61326/A1, and NAMUR recommendation NE 21,
NE 43 and NE 53.
• For measuring systems used in SIL 2 applications, the separate manual on functional safety must
be observed.

Endress+Hauser 7
Safety instructions Proline Promass 83 FOUNDATION Fieldbus

• The manufacturer reserves the right to modify technical data without prior notice. Your
Endress+Hauser distributor will supply you with current information and updates to these
Operating Instructions.

1.4 Return
The following procedures must be carried out before a flowmeter requiring repair or calibration, for
example, is returned to Endress+Hauser:
• Always enclose a duly completed "Declaration of contamination" form. Only then can
Endress+Hauser transport, examine and repair a returned device.
• Enclose special handling instructions if necessary, for example a safety data sheet as per
EN 91/155/EEC.
• Remove all residues. Pay special attention to the grooves for seals and crevices which could
contain residues. This is particularly important if the substance is hazardous to health, e.g.
flammable, toxic, caustic, carcinogenic, etc.
With Promass A and Promass M the threaded process connections must first be removed from the
sensor and then cleaned.

! Note!
You will find a preprinted "Declaration of contamination" form at the back of this manual.

# Warning!
• Do not return a measuring device if you are not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous
substances have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated crevices or diffused
through plastic.
• Costs incurred for waste disposal and injury (burns, etc.) due to inadequate cleaning will be
charged to the owner-operator.

1.5 Notes on safety conventions and icons

The devices are designed to meet state-of-the-art safety requirements, have been tested, and left the
factory in a condition in which they are safe to operate. The devices comply with the applicable
standards and regulations in accordance with EN 61010-1 "Protection Measures for Electrical
Equipment for Measurement, Control, Regulation and Laboratory Procedures". The devices can,
however, be a source of danger if used incorrectly or for other than the designated use.
Consequently, always pay particular attention to the safety instructions indicated in these Operating
Instructions by the following icons:

# Warning!
"Warning" indicates an action or procedure which, if not performed correctly, can result in injury
or a safety hazard. Comply strictly with the instructions and proceed with care.

" Caution!
"Caution" indicates an action or procedure which, if not performed correctly, can result in incorrect
operation or destruction of the device. Comply strictly with the instructions.

! Note!
"Note" indicates an action or procedure which, if not performed correctly, can have an indirect
effect on operation or trigger an unexpected response on the part of the device.

3.1 Incoming acceptance, transport and storage

3.1.1 Incoming acceptance

On receipt of the goods, check the following points:
• Check the packaging and the contents for damage.
• Check the shipment, make sure nothing is missing and that the scope of supply matches your
order.

3.1.2 Transport
The following instructions apply to unpacking and to transporting the device to its final location:
• Transport the devices in the containers in which they are delivered.
• The covers or caps fitted to the process connections prevent mechanical damage to the sealing
faces and the ingress of foreign matter to the measuring tube during transportation and storage.
Consequently, do not remove these covers or caps until immediately before installation.
• Do not lift measuring devices of nominal diameters >DN 40 (>1½") by the transmitter housing
or the connection housing in the case of the remote version (Fig. 5). Use webbing slings slung
round the two process connections. Do not use chains, as they could damage the housing.
• In the case of the Promass M / DN 80 sensor, use only the lifting eyes on the flanges to lift the
assembly.

# Warning!
Risk of injury if the measuring device slips. The center of gravity of the assembled measuring device
might be higher than the points around which the slings are slung.
At all times, therefore, make sure that the device does not unexpectedly turn around its axis or slip.

Installation Proline Promass 83 FOUNDATION Fieldbus

3.1.3 Storage
Note the following points:
• Pack the measuring device in such a way as to protect it reliably against impact for storage (and
transportation). The original packaging provides optimum protection.
• The permitted storage temperature is: –40 to +80 °C (–40 °F to +176 °F),
preferably +20 °C (+68 °F).
• Do not remove the protective covers or caps on the process connections until you are ready to
install the device.
• The measuring device must be protected against direct sunlight during storage in order to avoid
unacceptably high surface temperatures.

3.2 Installation conditions

Note the following points:
• No special measures such as supports are necessary. External forces are absorbed by the
construction of the instrument, for example the secondary containment.
• The high oscillation frequency of the measuring tubes ensures that the correct operation of the
measuring system is not influenced by pipe vibrations.
• No special precautions need to be taken for fittings which create turbulence (valves, elbows,
T-pieces, etc.), as long as no cavitation occurs.
• For mechanical reasons and in order to protect the pipe, it is advisable to support heavy sensors.

3.2.1 Dimensions
All the dimensions and lengths of the sensor and transmitter are provided in the separate
documentation "Technical Information".

3.2.2 Mounting location

Entrained gas bubbles in the measuring tube can result in an increase in measuring errors.
Avoid the following locations:
• Highest point of a pipeline. Risk of air accumulating.
• Directly upstream of a free pipe outlet in a vertical pipeline.

Proline Promass 83 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Installation

The proposed configuration in the following diagram, however, permits installation in a vertical
pipeline. Pipe restrictors or the use of an orifice plate with a smaller cross-section than the nominal
diameter prevent the sensor from running empty during measurement.

System pressure
It is important to ensure that cavitation does not occur, because it would influence the oscillation
of the measuring tube. No special measures need to be taken for fluids which have properties similar
to water under normal conditions.
In the case of liquids with a low boiling point (hydrocarbons, solvents, liquefied gases) or in suction
lines, it is important to ensure that pressure does not drop below the vapor pressure and that the
liquid does not start to boil. It is also important to ensure that the gases that occur naturally in many
liquids do not outgas. Such effects can be prevented when system pressure is sufficiently high.
For this reason, the following installation locations are preferred:
• Downstream from pumps (no danger of vacuum)
• At the lowest point in a vertical pipe.

Endress+Hauser 15
Installation Proline Promass 83 FOUNDATION Fieldbus

3.2.3 Orientation
Make sure that the direction of the arrow on the nameplate of the sensor matches the direction of
flow (direction in which the fluid flows through the pipe).

Orientation of Promass A

Vertical:
Recommended orientation with upward direction of flow. When fluid is not flowing, entrained
solids will sink down and gases will rise away from the measuring tube. The measuring tubes can
be completely drained and protected against solids buildup.

Horizontal:
When installation is correct the transmitter housing is above or below the pipe. This arrangement
means that no gas or solid deposits can accumulate in the curved measuring tube (single-tube
system).
Do not install the sensor in such a way that it is suspended in the pipe, in other words without
support or attachment. This is to avoid excessive strain at the process connection. The base plate of
the sensor housing is designed for mounting on a tabletop, wall or post.

Orientation of Promass F, M, E, H, I, S, P
Make sure that the direction of the arrow on the nameplate of the sensor matches the direction of
flow (direction in which the fluid flows through the pipe).

Vertical:
Recommended orientation with upward direction of flow (View V). When fluid is not flowing,
entrained solids will sink down and gases will rise away from the measuring tube. The measuring
tubes can be completely drained and protected against solids buildup.

Horizontal (Promass F, M, E):

The measuring tubes of Promass F, M and E must be horizontal and beside each other. When
installation is correct the transmitter housing is above or below the pipe (View H1/H2). Always
avoid having the transmitter housing in the same horizontal plane as the pipe.

Horizontal (Promass H, I, S, P):

Promass H and Promass I can be installed in any orientation in a horizontal pipe run.

1 Not suitable for fluids with entrained solids. Risk of solids accumulating.
2 Not suitable for outgassing fluids. Risk of air accumulating.

3.2.4 Heating
Some fluids require suitable measures to avoid loss of heat at the sensor. Heating can be electric,
e.g. with heated elements, or by means of hot water or steam pipes made of copper.

" Caution!
• Risk of electronics overheating! Consequently, make sure that the adapter between sensor and
transmitter and the connection housing of the remote version always remain free of insulating
material. Note that a certain orientation might be required, depending on the fluid temperature.
→ Page 16
• With a fluid temperature between 200 and 350 °C (392 to 662 °F), heating is not permitted for
the compact version of the high-temperature version.
• When using electrical heat tracing whose heat is regulated using phase control or by pulse packs,
it cannot be ruled out that the measured values are influenced by magnetic fields which may
occur, (i.e. at values greater than those permitted by the EC standard (Sinus 30 A/m)). In such
cases, the sensor must be magnetically shielded (except for Promass M).
The secondary containment can be shielded with tin plates or electric sheets without privileged
direction (e.g. V330-35A) with the following properties:
– Relative magnetic permeability μr ≥ 300
– Plate thickness d ≥ 0.35 mm (0.0011")
• Information on permissible temperature ranges → Page 108
Special heating jackets which can be ordered as accessories from Endress+Hauser are available for
the sensors.

If the device is installed horizontally (with transmitter head pointing upwards), an insulation
thickness of min. 10 mm (0.4") is recommended to reduce convection. The maximum insulation
thickness of 60 mm (2.4") must not be exceeded.

3.2.6 Inlet and outlet runs

There are no installation requirements regarding inlet and outlet runs. If possible, install the sensor
well clear of fittings such as valves, T-pieces, elbows, etc.

3.2.7 Vibrations
The high oscillation frequency of the measuring tubes ensures that the correct operation of the
measuring system is not influenced by pipe vibrations. Consequently, the sensors require no special
measures for attachment.

4.1 FOUNDATION Fieldbus cable specification

4.1.1 Cable type

Twin-core cable is recommended for connecting the flowmeter to the FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1.
By analogy with IEC 61158-2 (MBP) protocol four different cable types (A, B, C, D) can be used
with the FOUNDATION Fieldbus Protocol, only two of which (cable types A and B) are shielded.

• Cable types A or B are particularly preferable for new installations. Only these types have cable
shielding that guarantees adequate protection from electromagnetic interference and thus the
most reliable data transfer. With cable type B more than one fieldbus (with the same degree of
protection) may be operated in a cable. No other circuits are permissible in the same cable.
• Practical experience has shown that cable types C and D should not be used due to the lack of
shielding, since the freedom from interference generally does not meet the requirements
described in the standard.
The electrical data of the fieldbus cable has not been specified but determines important
characteristics of the design of the fieldbus, such as distances bridged, number of participants,
electromagnetic compatibility, etc.

Type A Type B

24 Endress+Hauser
Proline Promass 83 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Wiring

Suitable fieldbus cables (Type A) from various manufacturers for the non-hazardous area are listed
below:
• Siemens: 6XV1 830-5BH10
• Belden: 3076F
• Kerpen: CeL-PE/OSCR/PVC/FRLA FB-02YS(ST)YFL

4.1.2 Maximum overall cable length

The maximum network expansion depends on the type of ignition protection and the cable
specifications. The overall cable length is made up of the length of the main cable and the length of
all spurs (>1 m/3.28 ft). Note the following points:

• The maximum permissible overall cable length depends on the cable type used (→ Page 24).
• If repeaters are used the maximum permissible cable length is doubled. A maximum of three
repeaters are permitted between user and master.

4.1.3 Maximum spur length

The line between distribution box and field unit is described as a spur.
In the case of non Ex-rated applications the max. length of a spur depends on the number of spurs
(>1 m/3.28 ft):

Number of spurs 1 to 12 13 to 14 15 to 18 19 to 24 25 to 32

Max. length per spur 120 m (393 ft) 90 m (295 ft) 60 m (196 ft) 30 m (98 ft) 1 m (3.28 ft)

4.1.4 Number of field devices

According to IEC 61158-2 (MBP) a maximum of 32 field devices may be connected per fieldbus
segment. However, this number may be restricted in certain circumstances (type of ignition
protection, bus power option, current consumption of field device).
A maximum of four field devices can be connected to a spur.

4.1.5 Shielding and grounding

The optimum electromagnetic compatibility of the fieldbus system is guaranteed only when system
components and in particular lines are shielded and the shielding provides the most complete
coverage possible. Shield coverage of 90% is ideal.
Shielding should be connected as often as possible with the reference ground. The national
regulations and guidelines governing the installation of electrical equipment also apply where
relevant!
Where there are large differences in potential between the individual grounding points, only one
point of the shielding is connected directly with the reference ground. In systems without potential
equalization, cable shielding of fieldbus systems should therefore only be grounded on one side, for
example at the fieldbus supply unit or at safety barriers.

" Caution!
If the cable shielding is grounded at more than one point in systems without potential equalization,
network frequency equalization currents can occur that damage the bus cable or the bus shielding
and substantially affect signal transmission.

Endress+Hauser 25
Wiring Proline Promass 83 FOUNDATION Fieldbus

4.1.6 Bus termination

The start and end of each fieldbus segment are always to be terminated with a bus terminator. With
various junction boxes (not Ex-rated) the bus termination can be activated via a switch. If this is not
the case a separate bus terminator must be installed. Note the following points in addition:
• In the case of a branched bus segment the device furthest from the segment connector represents
the end of the bus.
• If the fieldbus is extended with a repeater then the extension must also be terminated at both
ends.

4.1.7 Further information

4.3.2 Fieldbus connector

The connection technology of FOUNDATION Fieldbus allows measuring devices to be connected

to the fieldbus via uniform mechanical connections such as T-boxes, junction boxes, etc.
This connection technology using prefabricated distribution modules and plug-in connectors offers
significant advantages over conventional wiring:
• Field devices can be removed, replaced or added at any time during normal operation.
Communication is not interrupted.
• This simplifies installation and maintenance significantly.
• Existing cable infrastructures can be used and expanded instantly, e.g. when constructing new
star distributors using 4-channel or 8-channel junction boxes.
The device can therefore be supplied with a ready-mounted fieldbus connector. Fieldbus connectors
for retrofitting can be ordered from Endress+Hauser as a spare part. → Page 71

The measuring device fulfill all the requirements for IP 67.
Compliance with the following points is mandatory following installation in the field or servicing,
in order to ensure that IP 67 protection is maintained:
• The housing seals must be clean and undamaged when inserted into their grooves.
The seals must be dried, cleaned or replaced if necessary.
• The threaded fasteners and screw covers must be firmly tightened.
• The cables used for connection must be of the specified outside diameter
→ Page 101, cable entries.
• The cable entries must be firmly tighten (point a → Fig. 20).
• The cable must loop down in front of the cable entry ("water trap") (point b → Fig. 20).
This arrangement prevents moisture penetrating the entry.

Proline Promass 83 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Operation

5.3.1 General notes

The Quick Setup menu contains the default settings that are adequate for commissioning. Complex
measuring operations on the other hand necessitate additional functions that you can configure as
necessary and customize to suit your process parameters. The function matrix, therefore, comprises
a multiplicity of additional functions which, for the sake of clarity, are arranged on a number of
menu levels (blocks, groups, and function groups).
Comply with the following instructions when configuring functions:
• You select functions as described on → Page 38.
Each cell in the function matrix is identified by a numerical or letter code on the display.
• You can switch off certain functions (OFF). If you do so, related functions in other function groups
will no longer be displayed.
• Certain functions prompt you to confirm your data entries. Press OS to select "SURE [ YES ]" and
press F again to confirm. This saves your setting or starts a function, as applicable.
• Return to the HOME position is automatic if no key is pressed for 5 minutes.
• Programming mode is disabled automatically if you do not press a key within 60 seconds
following automatic return to the HOME position.

" Caution!
All functions are described in detail, as is the function matrix itself, in the "Description of Device
Functions" manual, which is a separate part of these Operating Instructions.

! Note!
• The transmitter continues to measure while data entry is in progress, i.e. the current measured
values are output via the signal outputs or the fieldbus communication in the normal way.
• If the supply voltage fails all preset and parameterized values remain safely stored in the EEPROM.

5.3.2 Enabling the programming mode

The function matrix can be disabled. Disabling the function matrix rules out the possibility of
inadvertent changes to device functions, numerical values or factory settings. A numerical code
(factory setting = 83) has to be entered before settings can be changed.
If you use a code number of your choice, you exclude the possibility of unauthorized persons
accessing data (→ See the "Description of Device Functions" manual).
Comply with the following instructions when entering codes:
• If programming is disabled and the OS operating elements are pressed in any function, a prompt
for the code automatically appears on the display.
• If "0" is entered as the customer's code, programming is always enabled.
• The Endress+Hauser service organization can be of assistance if you mislay your personal code.

" Caution!
• Changing certain parameters such as all sensor characteristics, for example, influences numerous
functions of the entire measuring system, particularly measuring accuracy. There is no need to
change these parameters under normal circumstances and consequently, they are protected by a
special code known only to the Endress+Hauser service organization. Please contact
Endress+Hauser if you have any questions.
• With FOUNDATION Fieldbus, programming is enabled separately in the Transducer Block.

5.3.3 Disabling the programming mode

Programming mode is disabled if you do not press an operating element within 60 seconds following
automatic return to the HOME position.
You can also disable programming in the "ACCESS CODE" function by entering any number (other
than the customer's code).

5.4 Error messages

5.4.1 Type of error

Errors that occur during commissioning or measuring are displayed immediately. If two or more
system or process errors are present, the error with the highest priority is the one shown on the
display.
The measuring system distinguishes between two types of error:
• System error: This group includes all device errors, for example communication errors, hardware
errors, etc. → Page 78
• Process error: This group includes all application errors, e.g. fluid not homogeneous, etc.

11. Open the "Flow" Transducer Block.
12. Now configure the device-specific parameters relevant for your application:
! Note!
– Note that changes to the device parameters can only be made after entering a valid access
code in the parameter "Access – Code".
– The selection of the system units in the "Flow" Transducer Block has no effect on the output
value OUT (AI Block). Units of the process variables which are transmitted via the
FOUNDATION Fieldbus interface must be specified separately in the Analog Input Function
Block via the XD_SCALE and OUT_SCALE parameter group.
13. Set the "Flow" and "Totalizer" Transducer Blocks to AUTO in the MODE_BLK parameter
group (TARGET parameter). Only then is it ensured that the process variables can be processed
correctly by the downstream AI Function Block.

Configuration of the "Analog Input Function Blocks"

The measuring device has seven Analog Input Function Blocks that can be assigned to the various
process variables. The following description provides an example for the Analog Input Function
Block 1 (base index: 500).
14. Enter the desired name for the Analog Input Function Block (optional).

18. In the parameter group XD_SCALE, select the desired engineering unit and the block input
range (measurement range of the flow application) for the process variable in question (see
following example).
" Caution!
Make sure that the selected unit is suitable for the measurement variable of the selected
process variable. Otherwise the parameter BLOCK_ERROR will display the error message
"Block Configuration Error" and the block operating mode cannot be set to AUTO.

19. In the L_TYPE parameter, select the mode of linearization for the input variable (Direct,
Indirect, Indirect Sq Root) → See the "Description of Device Functions" manual.
" Caution!
Note that with the type of linearization "Direct" the configuration of the parameter group
OUT_SCALE must agree with the configuration of the parameter group XD_SCALE.
Otherwise the block operating mode cannot be set to AUTO. Such incorrect configuration is
indicated via the parameter BLOCK_ERROR with the "Block Configuration Error" message.
Example:
– The measurement range of the sensor is 0 to 30 kg/h.
– The output range to the process control system should be 0 to 30 kg/h as well.
The following settings should be made:
– Analog Input Function Block / parameter CHANNEL (selection of input value),
selection: 1 → Mass flow
– Parameter L_TYPE → Direct
– Parameter group XD_SCALE
XD_SCALE 0% = 0
XD_SCALE 100% = 30
XD_SCALE UNIT = kg/h

– Parameter group OUT_SCALE

OUT_SCALE 0% = 0
OUT_SCALE 100% = 30
OUT_SCALE UNIT = kg/h
20. Use the following parameters to define the limit values for alarm and warning messages:
– HI_HI_LIM → Limit value for the upper alarm
– HI_LIM → Limit value for the upper warning
– LO_LIM → Limit value for the lower warning
– LO_LO_LIM → Limit value for the lower alarm
The limit values entered must be within the value range specified in the parameter group
OUT_SCALE.
21. In addition to the actual limit values you must also specify the action taken if a limit value is
exceeded using so-called "alarm priorities" (parameters HI_HI_PRI, HI_PRI, LO_PR,
LO_LO_PRI) → See the "Description of Device Functions" manual. Reporting to the fieldbus
host system only takes place if the alarm priority is higher than 2.
22. System configuration/connection of Function Blocks (→ Fig. 28):
A concluding "overall system configuration" is essential so that the operating mode of the
Analog Input Function Block can be set to AUTO and so that the field device is integrated into
the system application. To do this, configuration software such as the NI-FBUS Configurator
from National Instruments is used to connect the Function Blocks to the desired control
strategy - generally graphically - and then the sequence of the individual process control
functions is specified.

6.4.2 Quick Setup "Gas Measurement"

The measuring device is not only suitable for measuring liquid flow. Direct mass measurement
based on the Coriolis principle is also possible for measuring the flow rate of gases. For this purpose,
the corresponding device functions can be configured via a configuration program or via the local
display.

! Note!
• Before carrying out the Quick Setup "Gas Measurement", the Quick Setup "Commissioning" has
to be executed.
• Only mass flow and corrected volume flow can be measured and output with the gas
measurement mode. Note that direct density and/or volume measurement is not possible.
• The flow ranges and measuring accuracy that apply to gas measurement are not the same as those
for liquids.

Performing the "Gas Measurement" Quick Setup

The "Gas Measurement" Quick Setup menu guides the user systematically through all the device
functions that have to be configured for measuring operations with gas.
The "Gas Measurement" Quick Setup menu can be called up in the function matrix via two separate
functions:
• Via the QS GAS MEASUREMENT (1004) function → Fig. 30 or
• Via the QS COMMISSIONING (1002) function → Fig. 29

6.4.3 Data backup/transmission

Using the T-DAT SAVE/LOAD function, you can transfer data (device parameters and settings)
between the T-DAT (exchangeable memory) and the EEPROM (device storage unit).
This is required in the following instances:
• Creating a backup: current data are transferred from an EEPROM to the T-DAT.
• Replacing a transmitter: current data are copied from an EEPROM to the T-DAT and then
transferred to the EEPROM of the new transmitter.
• Duplicating data: current data are copied from an EEPROM to the T-DAT and then transferred to
EEPROMs of identical measuring points.

6.5 Device configuration

6.5.1 Concentration measurement

The measuring device determines three primary variables simultaneously:
• Mass flow
• Fluid density
• Fluid temperature
As standard, these measured variables allow other process variables to be calculated, such as volume
flow, reference density (density at reference temperature) and corrected volume flow.
The optional software package "Concentration measurement" (F-Chip, accessories) offers a
multitude of additional density functions. Additional evaluation methods are available in this way,
especially for special density calculations in all types of applications: → Page 71
• Calculating percentage contents, mass and volume flow in two-phase media (carrier fluid and
target fluid),
• Converting density of the fluid into special density units (°Brix, °Baumé, °API, etc.).

Concentration measurement with fixed calculation function

By means of the "DENSITY FUNCTION (7000)" function, you can select various density functions
which use a fixed specified calculation mode for calculating the concentration:

Density function Remarks

%-MASS By using the functions for two-phase-media, it is possible to calculate the percentage mass or
%-VOLUME volume contents of the carrier fluid or the target fluid. The basic equations (without temperature
compensation) are:

D2 · ( – D1)
Mass [%] = ·100%
 ·(D2 – D1)
a0004610-en

( – D1)
Volume [%] = ·100%
(D2 – D1)
a0004619-en

D1 = density of carrier fluid (transporting liquid, e.g. water)

D2 = density of target fluid (material transported, e.g. lime powder or a second liquefied material
to be measured)
ρ = measured overall density

°BRIX Density unit used for the Food & Beverage industry which deals with the saccharose content of
aqueous solutions, e.g. for measuring solutions containing sugar such as fruit juice, etc.
The following ICUMSA table for Brix units is the basis for calculations within the device.

°BAUME This density unit or scale is mainly used for acidic solutions, e.g. ferric chloride solutions.
Two Baumé scales are used in practice:
– BAUME > 1 kg/l: for solutions heavier than water
– BAUME < 1 kg/l : for solutions lighter than water

°BALLING Both units are a commonly used basis for calculating the fluid density in the brewery industry.
°PLATO A liquid with a value of 1° BALLING (Plato) has the same fluid density as a water/cane sugar
solution consisting of 1 kg cane sugar dissolved in 99 kg of water. 1° Balling (Plato) is thus 1% of
the liquid weight.

%-BLACK LIQUOR The units of concentration used in the paper industry for black liquor in % by mass. The formula
used for the calculation is the same as for %-MASS.

°API °API (= American Petroleum Institute)

Density units specifically used in North America for liquefied oil products.

Concentration measurement with flexible calculation function

Under certain application conditions, it may not be possible to use density functions with a fixed
calculation function (% mass, °Brix, etc.). However, user-specific or application-specific
concentration calculations can be used with the "FLEXIBLE" setting in the function "DENSITY
FUNCTION (7000)".
The following types of calculation can be selected in the function "MODE (7021)":
• % MASS 3D
• % VOLUME 3D
• % MASS 2D
• % VOLUME 2D

Calculation type "% MASS 3D" or "% VOLUME 3D"

For this type of calculation, the relationship between the three variables - concentration, density and
temperature must be known (3-dimensional), e.g. by a table. In this way, the concentration can be
calculated from the measured density and temperature values by means of the following formula
(the coefficients AO, A1, etc. have to be determined by the user):

K = A0 + A1 ·  + A2 ·  +A3 ·  + A4 ·  +B1 · T + B2 · T + B3 · T

For this type of calculation, the relationship between the two variables concentration and reference
density must be known (2-dimensional), e.g. by a table. In this way, the concentration can be

! Note!
The measuring device determines the reference density by means of the density and temperature
currently measured. To do so, both the reference temperature (function REFERENCE
TEMPERATURE) and the expansion coefficients (function EXPANSION COEFF........) must be
entered in the measuring system.
The parameters important for measuring the reference density can also be entered directly via the
"Commissioning" Quick Setup menu.

6.5.2 Advanced diagnostic functions

Changes to the measuring system, e.g. due to coating buildup or corrosion and abrasion on the
measuring tubes, can be detected at an early stage by means of the optional software package
"Advanced Diagnostics" (F-Chip, accessories → Page 71). Normally, these influences reduce the
measuring accuracy of the system or may lead to serious system errors.
By means of the diagnostic functions it is now possible to record various process and device
parameters during operation, e.g. mass flow, density/reference density, temperature values,
measuring tube damping etc.
By analyzing the trend of these measured values, deviations of the measuring system from a
"reference status" can be detected in good time and corrective measures can be taken.

Reference values as the basis for trend analysis

Reference values of the parameters in question must always be recorded for trend analysis. These
reference values are determined under reproducible, constant conditions. Such reference values are
initially recorded during calibration at the factory and saved in the measuring device.
Reference data can also be ascertained under customer-specific process conditions, e.g. during
commissioning or at certain process stages (cleaning cycles, etc.).
Reference values are recorded and saved in the measuring system always by means of the device
function REFERENCE CONDITION USER (7401).

" Caution!
It is not possible to analyze the trend of process/device parameters without reference values!
Reference values can only be determined under constant, non-changing process conditions.

Methods of ascertaining data

Process and device parameters can be recorded in two different ways which you can define in the
function ACQUISITION MODE (7410):
• PERIODICAL option: Measuring device acquires data periodically. Enter the desired time interval
by means of the function ACQUISITION PERIOD (7411).
• SINGLE SHOT option: The user himself acquires the data manually at different, free selectable
periods.
Ensure that the process conditions always correspond to the reference status when data is being
recorded. It is only in this way that deviations from the reference status can be clearly determined.

! Note!
The last ten entries are retained in chronological order in the measuring system.
The "history" of such values can be called up via various functions:

Diagnosis parameters Data saved (per parameter)

Mass flow Reference value → "REFERENCE VALUE" function

Density Lowest measured value → "MINIMUM VALUE" function
Reference density Highest measured value → "MAXIMUM VALUE" function
Temperature List of the last ten measured values → "HISTORY" function
Measuring tube damping Deviation measured/reference value → "ACTUAL DEVIATION" function
Sensor symmetry
Operating frequency
fluctuation
Tube damping fluctuation

More detailed information can be found in the "Description of Device Functions" manual.

Endress+Hauser 61
Commissioning Proline Promass 83 FOUNDATION Fieldbus

Triggering warning messages

If required, a limit value can be assigned to all the process/device parameters relevant to the
diagnostic functions. A warning message is triggered if this limit value is exceeded → function
WARNING MODE (7403).
The limit value is entered into the measuring system as an absolute (+/-) or relative deviation from
the reference value → function WARNING LEVEL (74...).
Deviations arising and recorded by the measuring system can also be output via the current or relay
outputs or the fieldbus.

Data interpretation
The way the data recorded by the measuring system is interpreted depends largely on the
application in question. This means that users must have a very good knowledge of their specific
process conditions and the related deviation tolerances in the process, which have to be determined
by the users themselves in each individual case.
For example, when using the limit function it is especially important to know the minimum and
maximum deviation tolerances allowed. Otherwise there is the danger that a warning message is
triggered inadvertently during "normal" process fluctuations.
There can be various reasons for deviating from the reference status. The following table provides
examples and pointers for each of the six diagnosis parameters recorded:

Diagnosis parameters Possible reasons for deviation

Mass flow A deviation from the reference status indicates possible zero point shift.
Density A deviation from the reference status can be caused by a change in the measuring tube
resonance frequency, e.g. from deposits in the measuring tube, corrosion or abrasion.

Reference density The reference density values can be interpreted in the same way as the density values. If
the fluid temperature cannot be kept completely constant, you can analyze the reference
density (density at a constant temperature, e.g. at 20 °C) instead of the density.
Ensure that the parameters required for calculating the reference density have been
correctly configured (functions REFERENCE TEMPERATURE and EXPANSION
COEFF.).

Temperature Use this diagnosis parameter to check the functionality of the PT 1000 temperature
sensor.

Measuring tube damping A deviation from the reference status can be caused by a change in measuring tube
damping, e.g. from mechanical changes (coating buildup, corrosion, abrasion).

Sensor symmetry Use this diagnosis parameter to determine whether the sensor signals are symmetrical.

Operating frequency A deviation in the operating frequency fluctuation indicates possible gas in the fluid.

Tube damping fluctuation A deviation in the tube damping fluctuation indicates possible gas in the fluid.

6.6 Adjustment

6.6.1 Zero point adjustment

The measuring device is calibrated with state-of-the-art technology. The zero point obtained in this
way is printed on the nameplate.
Calibration takes place under reference operating conditions. → Page 101 ff.
Consequently, zero point adjustment is not necessary.
Experience shows that the zero point adjustment is advisable only in special cases:
• To achieve highest measuring accuracy also with very small flow rates.
• Under extreme process or operating conditions (e.g. very high process temperatures or very high
viscosity fluids).

Preconditions for a zero point adjustment

Note the following before you perform a zero point adjustment:
• A zero point adjustment can be performed only with fluids that contain no gas or solid contents.
• Zero point adjustment is performed with the measuring tubes completely filled and at zero flow
(v = 0 m/s). This can be achieved, for example, with shutoff valves upstream and/or downstream
of the sensor or by using existing valves and gates.
– Normal operation → Valves 1 and 2 open
– Zero point adjustment with pump pressure → Valve 1 open / valve 2 closed
– Zero point adjustment without pump pressure → Valve 1 closed / valve 2 open

a0003601

Fig. 33: Zero point adjustment and shutoff valves

" Caution!
• If the fluid is very difficult to measure (e.g. containing entrained solids or gas) it may prove
impossible to obtain a stable zero point despite repeated zero point adjustments. In instances of
this nature, please contact your Endress+Hauser service center.
• You can view the currently valid zero point value using the following function:
– Local display: HOME → F → R → BASIC FUNCTIONS → ADJUSTMENT ZEROPOINT
– FOUNDATION Fieldbus interface/configuration program: Transducer Block → "Sensor Data -
Zeropoint" parameter

! Note!
The zero point adjustment can be carried out as follows:
• Via the FOUNDATION Fieldbus configuration program in the Transducer Block
• Via the Discrete Output Function Block
• Via the local display (option)

6.6.2 Density adjustment

It is always advisable to perform density adjustment when optimum measuring accuracy is required
for calculating density-dependent values.
1-point density adjustment (with one fluid):
This type of density adjustment is necessary under the following circumstances:
• The sensor does not measure exactly the density value that the user expects on the basis of
laboratory analyses.
• The fluid properties are outside the measuring points set at the factory, or the reference operating
conditions used to calibrate the measuring device.
• The system is used exclusively to measure a fluid’s density which must be registered to a high
degree of accuracy under constant conditions.
Example: Brix density measurement for apple juice.
2-point density adjustment (with two fluids):
This type of adjustment is always to be carried out if the measuring tubes have been mechanically
altered by, e.g. material buildup, abrasion or corrosion. In such cases, the resonant frequency of the
measuring tubes has been affected by these factors and is no longer compatible with the calibration
data set at the factory. The 2-point density adjustment takes these mechanically-based changes into
account and calculates new, adjusted calibration data.

Performing 1-or 2-point density adjustment with FF configuration program 

" Caution!
• Density adjustment can be performed only if the user has detailed knowledge of the fluid density,
obtained for example from detailed laboratory analyses.
• The target density value specified in this way must not deviate from the measured fluid density
by more than ±10%.
• An error in defining the target density affects all calculated density and volume functions.
• Density adjustment changes the factory density calibration values or the calibration values set by
the service technician.
• The 2-point density adjustment is only possible if both target density values are different from
each other by at least 0.2 kg/l. Otherwise the error message #731 (adjustment is not possible)
appears in the "Diag. - Act. Sys. Condition" parameter.
• The functions outlined in the following instructions are described in detail in the "Description of
Device Functions" manual.
1. Fill the sensor with fluid. Make sure that the measuring tubes are completely filled and that
liquids are free of gas bubbles.
2. Wait until the temperature difference between fluid and measuring tube has equalized. The
time you have to wait for equalization depends on the fluid and the temperature level.
3. Open the configuration program and then the Resource Block.
4. Use the WRITE_LOCK parameter to check whether hardware write protection is deactivated:
– Write protection activated = LOCKED
– Write protection deactivated = NOT LOCKED
Deactivate the write protection if necessary → Page 43.
5. Open the Transducer Block.
6. Enable the programming mode:
– Enter the enable code in the "Access Code" parameter (default = 83).
– The "Access - Status" parameter should now display "Unlocked Customer".
7. In the "Adj. - Dens.Adj.Mode" parameter, select the "1-Point" setting (for 1-point density
adjustment) or "2-Point" (for 2-point density adjustment) and send this setting to the field
device.

6.7 Gas measurement

This measuring device is not only suitable for measuring liquid flow. Direct mass measurement
based on the Coriolis principle is also possible for measuring the flow rate of gases.

! Note!
• Only mass and corrected volume flow can be measured and output with the gas measurement
mode. Note that direct density and/or volume measurement is not possible.
• The flow ranges and measuring accuracy that apply to gas measurement are not the same as those
for liquids.

Function settings for gas measurement using FF configuration program 

1. Open the configuration program and then the Resource Block.
2. Use the WRITE_LOCK parameter to check whether hardware write protection is deactivated:
– Write protection activated = LOCKED
– Write protection deactivated = NOT LOCKED
Deactivate the write protection if necessary → Page 43.
3. Open the Transducer Block.
4. Enable the programming mode:
– Enter the enable code in the "Access Code" parameter (default = 83).
– The "Access - Status" parameter should now display "Unlocked Customer".
5. Empty pipe detection has to be disabled so that measurement can be performed even at low
gas pressures. Therefore, set the "EPD - Empty Pipe Detection" parameter to OFF.
6. On account of the low mass flow involved when gas flows are measured, it is advisable not to
use low flow cutoff.
Therefore, set the "Low Flow Cut Off - Assign" parameter to OFF.
7. If the "Low Flow Cut Off - Assign" parameter was not set to OFF, configure the following
parameters as follows:
– "Low Flow Cut Off - On-Value" parameter:
Flow rates for gas measurements are low, so the value for the switch-on point (= low flow
cutoff) must be correspondingly low. Recommended setting: 0.0000 [unit]
– "Low Flow Cut Off - Off-Value" parameter:
Enter the switch-off point as a positive hysteresis in %, referenced to the switch-on point.
Default value: 50%
Corrected volume measurement with gas:
Certain other parameters have to be configured if corrected volume flow (e.g. in Nm3/h) is to be
measured and output instead of mass flow (e.g. in kg/h). The procedure is as follows:
8. In the "System Unit - Corr.Volume Flow" parameter, select the engineering unit for corrected
volume flow.
9. In the "System Unit - Ref. Density" parameter, select the engineering unit for reference density.
10. Set the "Ref.Param. - Corr.Vol.Calculation" parameter to "Fixed Ref.Density".
11. In the "Reference Param. - Fixed Reference Density" parameter, enter a value for the gas-
dependent reference density (= density at reference temperature and reference pressure).
Example for air: reference density = 1.2928 kg/Nm3 (at 0 °C and 1.013 bar)
! Note!
Corrected volume flow can also be forwarded to other Function Blocks and higher-order
process-control systems as a process variable. Please also observe the necessary settings in the
Analog Input Function Block (see the "Description of Device Functions" manual).
12. Close the configuration program.

6.8 Purge and pressure monitoring connections

The sensor housing protects the inner electronics and mechanics and is filled with dry nitrogen.
Beyond that, up to a specified measuring pressure it additionally serves as secondary containment.

# Warning!
For a process pressure above the specified containment pressure, the housing does not serve as an
additional secondary containment. If there is a danger of measuring tube failure due to process
characteristics, e.g. with corrosive process fluids, we recommend the use of sensors whose housing
is equipped with special pressure monitoring connections (ordering option). With the help of these
connections, fluid collected in the housing in the event of tube failure can be drained off. This
diminishes the danger of mechanical overload of the housing, which could lead to a housing failure
and accordingly is connected with an increased danger potential. These connections can also be
used for gas purging (gas detection).
The following instructions apply to handling sensors with purge or pressure monitoring connections:
• Do not open the purge connections unless the containment can be filled immediately with a dry
inert gas.
• Use only low gauge pressure to purge. Maximum pressure 5 bar.

6.9 Data storage device (HistoROM), F-CHIP

At Endress+Hauser, the term HistoROM refers to various types of data storage modules on which
process and measuring device data are stored. By plugging and unplugging such modules, device
configurations can be duplicated onto other measuring devices to cite just one example.

6.9.1 HistoROM/S-DAT (sensor-DAT)

The S-DAT is an exchangeable data storage device in which all sensor relevant parameters are
stored, i.e., diameter, serial number, calibration factor, zero point.

6.9.2 HistoROM/T-DAT (transmitter-DAT)

The T-DAT is an exchangeable data storage device in which all transmitter parameters and settings
are stored.
Storing of specific parameter settings from the EEPROM to the T-DAT and vice versa has to be
carried out by the user (= manual backup function). Please refer to Page 55 for a description of the
related function (T-DAT SAVE/LOAD) and the exact procedure for managing data.

6.9.3 F-CHIP (Function-Chip)

The F-Chip is a microprocessor chip that contains additional software packages that extend the
functionality and application possibilities of the transmitter.
In the case of a later upgrade, the F-Chip can be ordered as an accessory and can simply be plugged
on to the I/O board. After start up, the software is immediately made available to the transmitter.
Accessories → Page 71
Plugging onto the I/O board → Page 87

" Caution!
To ensure an unambiguous assignment, the F-CHIP is coded with the transmitter serial number
once it is plugged in. Thus, it cannot be reused with other measuring devices.

Error messages on display

Errors that occur during commissioning or measuring are displayed immediately. Error messages consist of a variety of
icons. The meanings of these icons are as follows (example):
– Type of error: S = System error, P = Process error
– Error message type: $ = Fault message, ! = Notice message
– FLUID INHOM. = Error designation (e.g. fluid is not homogeneous)
– 03:00:05 = Duration of error occurrence (in hours, minutes and seconds)
– #702 = Error number

9.2 System/process error messages

General notes
The flowmeter assigns current system and process errors to two error message types in accordance
with a predefined algorithm and classifies them accordingly:
Error message type "Fault message":
• A message of this type immediately interrupts or stops measurement.
• Presentation on the FOUNDATION Fieldbus → Fault messages are transmitted to subsequent
Function Blocks or higher-level process control systems by means of the status "BAD" of the AI
output parameter OUT (AI Block).
• Local display → A flashing lightning symbol ($) is displayed
Error message type "Notice message":
• Measurement continues despite this message.
• Presentation on the FOUNDATION Fieldbus → Notice messages are transmitted to subsequent
Function Blocks or higher-level process control systems by means of the status "UNCERTAIN" of
the AI output parameter OUT (AI Block).
• Local display → A flashing exclamation mark (!) is displayed.
Serious system errors, e.g. module defects, are always classed and displayed as "fault messages" by
the measuring device. Simulations in the "Flow" Transducer Block and positive zero return, on the
other hand, are identified as "notice messages" only.

Error messages in the FF configuration programs → Page 78 ff.

System and process errors are recognized and reported in the Transducer Blocks. Such errors are
displayed via the following parameters specified in the FOUNDATION Fieldbus specification:
• BLOCK_ERR
• Transducer Error
In the "Diagnosis" Transducer Block (base index: 1600), detailed reasons for errors and device status
messages are displayed by means of the "Diag. - Act.Sys.Condition" parameter (manufacturer-
specific) → Table.

Error messages on the local display → Page 78 ff.

You will find more details on how error messages are presented on → Page 40.

Measuring ranges for gases (except Promass H)

The full scale values depend on the density of the gas. Use the formula below to calculate the full
scale values:
gmax(G) = gmax(F) ⋅ ρ(G) : x [kg/m3 (lb/ft3)]
gmax(G) = Max. full scale value for gas [kg/h (lb/min)]
gmax(F) = Max. full scale value for liquid [kg/h (lb/min)]
ρ(G) = Gas density in [kg/m3 (lb/ft3)] for process conditions
x = 160 for Promass F DN 8 to 100 (3/8" to 4"), M, I
x = 250 for Promass F DN 150 to 250 (6" to 10" )
x = 225 for Promass E
x = 32 for Promass A
Here, gmax(G) can never be greater than gmax(F)

Calculation example for gas:

• Sensor type: Promass F, DN 50
• Gas: air with a density of 60.3 kg/m3 at 20 °C and 50 bar
• Measuring range: 70000 kg/h
• x = 160 (for Promass F DN 50)
Max. possible full scale value:
gmax(G) = gmax(F) ⋅ ρ(G) : x [kg/m3] =
70000 kg/h ⋅ 60.3 kg/m3 : 160 kg/m3 = 26400 kg/h

Select nominal diameter by optimizing between required flow range and permissible pressure loss.
See the "Measuring range" section for a list of max. possible full scale values.
• The minimum recommended full scale value is approx. 1/20 of the max. full scale value.
• In most applications, 20 to 50% of the maximum full scale value can be considered ideal.
• Select a lower full scale value for abrasive substances such as fluids with entrained solids
(flow velocity < 1m/s (3 ft/s)).
• For gas measurement the following rules apply:
– Flow velocity in the measuring tubes should not be more than half the sonic velocity
(0.5 Mach).
– The maximum mass flow depends on the density of the gas: formula → Page 96

Pressure loss (US units) Pressure loss depends on fluid properties nominal diameter. Consult Endress+Hauser for Applicator
PC software to determine pressure loss in US units. All important instrument data are contained in
the Applicator software program in order to optimize the design of the measuring system. The
software is used for the following calculations:
• Nominal diameter of the sensor with fluid characteristics such as viscosity, density, etc.
• Pressure loss downstream of the measuring point.
• Converting mass flow to volume flow, etc.
• Simultaneous display of various meter size.
• Determining measuring ranges.
The Applicator runs on any IBM-compatible PC with Windows.
