Figure 2 Example of approval plate
The electronics housing is made of diecast aluminum or stainless steel precision
casting. There is an unscrewable, round cover on the front and rear. The front cover
(4, Figure 3, pg. 15) can be designed as a window in order to be able to read
measured values directly from the digital display. The inlet (2, Figure 3, pg. 15) to the
electrical connection box is located on the side, either left or right. The opening which
is not used is sealed by a blanking plug (e.g. 5, Figure 4, pg. 15). The PE conductor
terminal (2, Figure 4, pg. 15) is mounted at the front of the housing.
The electrical connection box is accessible for power supply and screen when
the rear cover (1, Figure 4, pg. 15) is removed. The bottom part of the housing
contains the measuring cell with process connection (8, Figure 3, pg. 15). This is
secured turning by a locking screw (7, Figure 3, pg. 15). The modular concept of the
SITRANS P, Series DS III PA allows the measuring cell and electronics to be
exchanged as required.
At the top of the housing you can see a plastic cover (3, Figure 3, pg. 15) which can
be opened. The input keyboard is beneath this.

Technical description
1.4.2 Mode of operation
This chapter describes how the transmitter operates and what protection and safety
measures you need to observe. First of all the electronics are described on a
Funktionsplanebene (functional level), then the sensors used for the individual
measuring modes in the various versions of the device.
The process variable to be measured is referred to generally in the following sections
as the input variable.
1.4.2.1 Mode of operation of the electronics
The input variable provided by the sensor (1, Figure 5) is amplified by an instrument
amplifier (2) and converted into a digital signal via an analog-digital converter (3).
This is evaluated in a microprocessor (4), its linearity and temperature behavior cor-
rected and made available using the isolated interface (5) on the PROFIBUS-PA (7).
The measuring cell-specific data of the electronics and the data for transmitter
parameterization are stored in two non-volatile memories (6).
You can parameterize the transmitter directly at the measuring point with the three
input keys (8) and view measuring results, error messages and modes of operation
on the digital display (9), which is securely screwed onto the device. You can get the
measuring results with status values and diagnosis using the PROFIBUS-PA's
cyclical data transmission (see chapter 3.1, pg. 33). Using the acyclical data
transmission (see chapter 3.2, pg. 41), you carry out the parameterization and can
view all results and error messages. To do this, you require a tool, for example the
SIMATIC PDM.

Technical description
Figure 6 Pressure measuring cell, functional diagram 1.4.2.2 Pressure
The pressure pe is fed in through the process connection (3, Figure 6, pg. 18) of the
measuring cell (2). It is passed further through the seal diaphragm (4) and the filling
liquid (5) to the silicon pressure sensor (6) and its measuring diaphragm flexes as a
result Four piezo-resistors in bridge circuit doped in the measuring diaphragm
change their resistance as a result. The change in resistance causes a bridge output
voltage proportional to the input pressure.
The transmitters with measuring spans 5 63 bar measure the input pressure
compared with atmospheric, those with measuring spans z 160 bar compared with a
vaccum.
CAUTION
If the measuring signal fails due to a sensor break, the isolating diaphragms may
also be destroyed. In this case,process medium may leak from the threaded collar
of the device in pressure transmitters with relative pressure cell (5 63 bar).

1.4.2.3 Differential pressure and flow
The differential pressure is transmitted via the seal diaphragms (7, Figure 7, pg. 19)
and the filling liquid to the silicon pressure sensor (5). On exceeding the measuring
limits, the overload diaphragm (6) flexes until one of the seal diaphragms (7) comes
into contact with the body of the measuring cell (4) and protects the silicon pressure
sensor (5) against overloading. The seal diaphragm is deflected by the resulting
differential pressure. Four piezo-resistors in bridge circuit doped in the measuring
diaphragm change their resistance as a result. The change in resistance causes a
bridge output voltage proportional to the differential pressure.

1.4.2.4 Filling level
The input pressure (hydrostatic pressure) acts through the seal diaphragm (10,

differential pressure applied at the measuring cell is transmitted via the seal
diaphragms (6) and the filling liquid (7) to the silicon pressure sensor (3). On
exceeding the measuring limits, the overload diaphragm (5) is deflected until one of
the seal diaphragms (6) comes into contact with the body of the measuring cell (4)

The absolute pressure is transmitted via the seal diaphragm (6, Figure 9, pg. 20) and
the filling liquid (7) to the silicon pressure sensor (3). On exceeding the measuring
limits, the overload diaphragm (5) is deflected until the seal diaphragm (6) comes into
contact with the body of the measuring cell (4) and protects the silicon pressure
sensor (3) against overloading. The pressure difference between the input pressure
(pe) and the reference pressure (8) on the low pressure side of the measuring cell
flexes the measuring diaphragm. Four piezo-resistors in bridge circuit doped in the
measuring diaphragm change their resistance as a result. The change in resistance
causes a bridge output voltage proportional to the absolute pressure.

This chapter describes the mode of operation of the device-specific function blocks
with the aid of a graphic block model, which is broken up sequentially into its
individual levels. Knowledge of the physical block is assumed: Therefore it is not
described in this chapter.
2.1 Block model for recording and processing measured
values
The functions of the device are divided into blocks for different areas or responsibility
(Figure 11). They can be parameterized by acyclic data transfer (see chapter 3.2,
pg. 41).

2.1.1 Pressure measuring block
The pressure measuring block (Figure 11) carries out adjustments to the sensor. Its
initial value is the linearized and temperature -compensated measuring result. For
measurement of the filling level and flow, the required conversions take place here.
An example is the conversion of an input pressure into level or volume for hydrostatic
filling level measurement.
The pressure sensor temperature measurement is also processed here and the
pressure and temperature limits are constantly monitored.
2.1.2 Electronics temperature measuring block
The electronics temperature measuring block (Figure 11) carries out the required
temperature measurement functions and monitors the permitted temperature limits.
2.1.3 Analog input function block
In the analog input function block (Figure 11), the selected measured value is
processed further and is adjusted to the automation task.
Example: For a flow measurement, the volume flow needs to be converted into the
number of containers filled. The output of this block supplies the measured value and
the associated status information to the PROFIBUS.
2.1.4 Counter function block
For flow measurement, the volume or mass which has flowed through can be totalled
in the counter function block (Figure 11). Its function, therefore, is very similar to that
of a water clock. The output of this block supplies the total values and the associated
status information to the PROFIBUS.
2.1.5 Local operation and display
With local operation (Figure 11), the desired measured value can be set and
displayed with its physical unit.

2.1.6 Connection between the blocks using parameters
The output values of the pressure and electronics temperature measuring blocks can
be fed into the analog input and counter function blocks as input values for further
processing. For this, the parameter "Channel" must be set accordingly in the relevant
function block.

2.2 Description of individual blocks
2.2.1 Pressure measuring block (Transducer Block 1)
Figure 12 shows the signal flow of measured values from the measuring cell through
the pressure measuring block (which also processes filling level, flow and sensor
temperature) into the respective output values (temperature, measured value
(primary variable) etc.). The parameters of the individual functions (measuring range,
output range etc.) can be changed via acyclic access.

The non-linearized pressure value first of all passes through an adjustment. The
resulting corrected pressure value is checked for its sensor limits. If the limits are

exceeded, this results in a "Bad" status and the error message "Error in recording
measured value". The corrected pressure value is stored in Secondary variables 1.
Next, it undergoes normalization, whereby the input signal is mapped onto the
range 0 to 1 (percent/100). The normalized pressure value is stored in Secondary
variables 2.
After this — depending on the measuring task — it goes through one of four types of
linearization (see following chapter). The scaling maps the normalized and
linearized measured value (pressure, level, volume or volume flow) onto the actual
process value using the specification of the operating range. This is stored in
measured values (Primary variables).
By multiplying by the density, for a volume flow, the mass flow can be calculated
It is stored in Secondary variables 3.
The pressure sensor temperature value is available in the "Temperature"
parameter.
2.2.1.1 Type of linearization function group
The normalised pressure is passed through linearization algorithms, which are
presented in Table 4, to adjust it to the relevant process requirements. The algorithm
is changed using the "Characteristic curve type" parameter.

2.2.1.2 Units for the pressure measuring block
In the pressure measuring block, there are four different points where you have the
possibility of selecting units. Depending on the measuring type, units from the
following measuring functions are permitted:
Variable
Pressure Filling
level Measuring type
Volume Volume Flow Mass
flow
Non-linearized
pressure value P P P P P
Secondary variable 1 P P P P P
Measured value
(Primary variable) P L V F F
Secondary variable 3 — --- --- --- M
Table 6 Overview of the available units
P: Pressure
L: Filling level
V: Volume
F: Volume flow
M: Mass flow
For all measuring types, you can set the unit "%" as a measured value (primary
variable).
For all measuring types, secondary variable 2 has a standardized value of 1. The unit
is fixed as "none".
For each of the measuring functions P, L, V, F and M, the physical units are listed in
chapter 4.2.7, pg. 51.
2.2.2 Electronics temperature measuring block
This measuring block is manufacturer -specific and is not described in the profile. It is
responsible for monitoring the internal temperature of the device electronics and
cannot change the pressure value, only its status.
The permitted limits correspond to those of the permitted ambient temperature. If a
limit is exceeded, the status changes to 'GOOD — Active Critical Alarm — High/Low-
limit". The status of the corrected pressure value in the pressure measuring block
(see chapter 2.2.1, pg. 24) receives the status "UNCERTAIN — Value not accurate —
high/low-limit". This action is accompanied by a PROFIBUS diagnostic message
"Electronics temperature too high".
Furthermore, indicators for maximum and minimum values are available (see
chapter 5.2.10, pg. 73)

Functioning mode
The measured value from the pressure measuring block—or a simulation value
given by the simulation switch — undergoes a further normalization (measured
value scaling) and mapping onto the output range using output scaling
(application -specific measured variable).
The signal is then filtered (damping) and checked to see that it is within given limits.
For this, upper and lower warning and alarm limits are available.
If the measured value has the status "bad", the fault logic can output a preset safety
value: This can be set as the last usable measured value or a given substitute value.
Using the target mode selected in mode and status processing you can choose
between output of the automatically -recorded measured value (AUTO setting) or a

manually-set simulation value (MAN setting). If the function block is not working
(O/S), the preset safety value will also be output.
The analog input function block deals with the numerical value separately from the
physical unit. This means that you can set around 1000 pre-defined units. The most
important are listed in chapter 4.2.7, pg. 51.
2.2.4 Counter function block
The counter function block is one of the standard functions of transmitters. It is used
for flow measurement. Figure 16 shows the processing of measured values up to the
output values.

Functioning mode
The function block processes the measured values from the pressure measuring
block. If a value's status is -bad", the fault behaviour setting decides whether this
value or the last "good" value is passed on for totalling.
The measured values now pass through fixing of the summation direction, to which
you allocate either forwards, backwards or net counting.
Next, they are integrated with the time, so that the flow in a given time interval can
be determined, and checked to see that they within the limits. Here, it is also
possible to reset the total to a pre-loaded value.
You can configure the counter function block in such a way that you can reset or pre-
set it not only using the acyclic services but also from the user programme via the
cyclic data traffic. For more details see chapter 3.1.2.1, pg. 34.
Using the target mode selected in mode and status processing you can choose
between output of the automatically -recorded measured value (AUTO setting) or a
manually-set simulation value (MAN setting).
The possible units correspond to the volume and mass variables for the pressure
measuring block (see chapter 2.2.1.2, pg. 28).

3.1 Cyclic data transmission 3
Using cyclic data transmission, the user data relevant for process automation is
transferred between the class 1 Master (control or automation system) and the
transmitter.
3.1.1 Setting the PROFIBUS address
Upon delivery, the PROFIBUS address is set to 126. You can set it on the device
(chapter 4.2.8, pg. 54) or via the bus, with a parameterization tool such as
SIMATIC PDM or HWKonfig.
The new address only becomes effective after a warm start or if the device has been
disconnected from the bus for a short time.
3.1.2 Configuration
Information on the input and output range, as well as the consistency of the cyclically
transmitted data is defined in the DeviceMasterData file (DMD file) , tested with the
device's configuration message and, if appropriate, declared to be valid. During the
design, the user data which will be transmitted in cyclic operation is set. This means
that it is possible to optimise the quantity of data to be transmitted. The DMD files for
all common devices are already stored in the Siemens control system, however they
are also accessible over the Internet (http://www.ad.siemens.deicsi_e/gsd) and
can be subsequently imported.

3.1.2.1 Configuring the user data
The user data which is made available to the control system or the open-loop
control via the PROFIBUS depends on the desired configuration selected (see
chapter 5.2.3, pg. 63). In principle, it is supplied by the function blocks (see
chapter 2.1.3, pg. 22 ff.) and put together in the following order:
The analog input function block supplies the content of the "Output" parameter, the
counter function block supplies the content of the "Counter output" parameter. The
configuration allows you to select the function block from which output data will be
transmitted:
1. Output and/or
2. Counter output
For the "Counter output" parameter, you can add the following additional functions:
3. Reset counter output
4. Operating mode
Using "Reset counter output", you can reset the integrator from the operator
programme and change its functioning mode using "Operating mode".
