8 TECHNICAL DATA IFC 100
8.1 Measuring principle

An electrically conductive fluid flows inside an electrically insulated pipe through a magnetic
field. This magnetic field is generated by a current, flowing through a pair of field coils.
Inside of the fluid, a voltage U is generated:
U=v*k*B*D
in which:
v = mean flow velocity
k = factor correcting for geometry
B = magnetic field strength
D = inner diameter of flowmeter
The signal voltage U is picked off by electrodes and is proportional to the mean flow velocity v
and thus the flow rate Q. A is used to amplify the signal voltage, filter it and convert it into
signals for totalizing, recording and output processing.

8.5 Measuring accuracy

Every electromagnetic flowmeter is calibrated by direct volume comparison. The wet calibration
validates the performance of the flowmeter under reference conditions against accuracy limits.
The accuracy limits of electromagnetic flowmeters are typically the result of the combined effect
of linearity, zero point stability and calibration uncertainty.
Reference conditions
• Medium: water
• Temperature: +5...+35°C / +41...+95°F
• Operating pressure: 0.1...5 barg / 1.5...72.5 psig
• Inlet section: ≥ 5 DN; outlet section: ≥ 2 DN

9 DESCRIPTION OF HART INTERFACE IFC 100
9.1 General description

The open HART® protocol, which can be used freely, is integrated into the signal converter for
communication.
Devices which support the HART® protocol are classified as either operating devices or field
devices. When it comes to operating devices (Master), both manual control units (Secondary
Master) and PC-supported workstations (Primary Master) are used in, for example, a control
centre.
HART® field devices include flow sensors, signal converters and actuators. The field devices
range from 2-wire to 4-wire to intrinsically safe versions for use in hazardous areas.
The HART® data are superimposed over the analogue 4...20 mA signal via FSK modem.
This way, all of the connected devices can communicate digitally with one another via the HART®
protocol while simultaneously transmitting the analogue signals.
When it comes to the field devices and secondary masters, the FSK or HART ® modem is
integrated, whereas with a PC communication takes place via an external modem which must be
connected to the serial interface. There are, however, other connection variants which can be
seen in the following connection diagrams.

IFC 100 DESCRIPTION OF HART INTERFACE 9
9.3 Connection variants

The signal converter is a 4-wire device with 4...20 mA current output and HART® interface.
Depending on the version, the settings and the wiring, the current output can operate as passive
or active output.
• Multi-drop mode is supported

In a multi-drop communication system, more than 2 devices are connected to a common
transmission cable.
• Burst mode is not supported
In the Burst mode a slave device transfers cyclic pre-defined response telegrams, to get a
higher rate of data transfer.
INFORMATION!
For detailed information about the electrical connection of the signal converter for HART®, refer
to the section "Electrical connection".
There are two ways of using the HART® communication:
• as Point-to-Point connection and

• as multi-drop connection, with 2-wire connection or
as multi-drop connection, with 3-wire connection.

9.3.1 Point-to-Point connection - analogue / digital mode
Point-to-Point connection between the signal converter and the HART® Master.
The current output of the device may be active or passive.

9.3.2 Multi-drop connection (2-wire connection)

In the case of a multi-drop connection, up to 15 devices may be installed in parallel (this signal
converter and other HART® devices).
The current outputs of the devices must be passive!

9.3.3 Multi-drop connection (3-wire connection)

Connection of 2-wire and 4-wire devices in the same network. In order that the current output of
the signal converter is working continuously active, an additional third wire must be connected
to the devices in the same network. These devices must be powered via a 2-wire loop.

9.4 Inputs/outputs and HART dynamic variables and device variables

The signal converter is available with various input/output combinations.
The connection of the terminals A and D to the HART® dynamic variables PV, SV, TV and 4V
depends on the device version.
PV = Primary Variable; SV = Secondary Variable; TV = Third Variable; 4V = Fourth Variable

Table 9-3: Connection of the terminals to the HART® dynamic variables
The signal converter can provide up to 8 measurement-related values. The measured values are
accessible as so-called HART® device variables and can be connected to the HART® dynamic
variables. The availability of these variables depends on the device versions and the settings.

Table 9-4: Description of the HART® device variables

For the dynamic variables connected to the linear analogue outputs for current and/or
frequency, the assignment of the device variables takes place by selecting the linear
measurement for these outputs under the appropriate function of the signal converter. It follows
that the dynamic variables connected to current or frequency outputs can only be assigned to the
linear HART® device variables.
The HART® dynamic variable PV is always connected to the HART® current output which is, for
example, assigned to the volume flow.
A totaliser device variable can thus not be assigned to the dynamic variable PV because the PV is
always connected to the HART® current output.
Such correlations do not exist for dynamic variables not connected to linear analogue outputs.
Both linear and totaliser device variables can be assigned.
The totaliser device variables can only be assigned to the dynamic variables SV, TV and 4V if the
connected output is not a current or frequency output.
9.5 Parameter for the basic configuration

There are parameters, such as counter 1 or 2, and a selection of the diagnosis values, that
require a warm start for the device following data changes in order to update dependent unit
parameters, for example, before other parameters are written.
Depending on the characteristic of the HART® host system, e.g. online/offline mode, these
parameters are treated differently. See the following section for more detailed information.

9.6 Field Communicator 375/475 (FC 375/475)

The Field Communicator is a hand terminal from Emerson Process Management that is
designed to configure HART® devices. Device Descriptions (DDs) are used to integrate different
devices into the Field Communicator.
9.6.1 Installation
The HART® Device Description for the signal converter must be installed on the Field
Communicator. Otherwise only the functions of a generic DD are available to the user and the
entire device control is not possible. A "Field Communicator Easy Upgrade Programming Utility"
is required to install the DDs on the Field Communicator.
The Field Communicator must be equipped with a system card with "Easy Upgrade Option".
For details consult the Field Communicator User’s Manual.
9.6.2 Operation
INFORMATION!
For more detailed information see Appendix A, Menu tree for Basic DD.
Operating the signal converter via the Field Communicator is very similar to manual device
control using the keyboard.
Limitation: The service menu parameters for the device are not supported and a simulation is
only possible for current outputs. The online help for each parameter contains its function
number as a reference to the local device display.
Parameter protection for custody transfer is the same as on the device's local display. Other
specific protective functions such as the passwords for the quick setup menu and the setup
menu are not supported with HART®.
The Field Communicator always saves a complete configuration for the exchange with AMS, see
Appendix A. However, in the offline configuration and when sending to the device, the Field
Communicator only takes into account a partial parameter set (like the standard configuration of
the old HART® Communicator 275).
9.6.3 Parameter for the basic configuration

In online mode, counter measurements and the diagnosis value can be set using special
methods, see Appendix A. In offline mode, these parameters are read-only. However, when
transferring the offline configuration, this data is also written to the device.

9.7 Asset Management Solutions (AMS)

The Asset Management Solutions Device Manager (AMS®) is a PC program from Emerson
Process Management which is designed to configure and manage HART® devices. Device
Descriptions (DDs) are used to integrate different devices into the AMS®.
9.7.1 Installation
If the signal converter Device Description has not yet been installed on the AMS® system, a so-
called Installation Kit HART® AMS® is required. It is available for download from the website.
For installation with the Installation Kit refer to the "AMS Intelligent Device Manager Books
Online" section "Basic Functionality / Device Information / Installing Device Types".
INFORMATION!
Please read the "readme.txt", which is also contained in the Installation Kit.
9.7.2 Operation
INFORMATION!
For more detailed information see Appendix B, Menu tree for AMS®.
Due to AMS® requirements and conventions, there are differences when operating the signal
converter with AMS® and operating using the local keyboard. The service menu parameters are
not supported and simulation is only possible for current outputs. The online help for each
parameter contains its function number as a reference to the local device display.
specific protective functions such as the passwords for the "quick setup" menu and the "setup"

In online mode, the measurements for counters and diagnosis values can be changed by using
the appropriate methods in the basic configuration menu. These parameters are read-only in
offline mode.

9.8 Field Device Manager (FDM)

A Field Device Manager (FDM) is basically a PC program from Honeywell used to configure
HART® devices. Device Descriptions (DDs) are used to integrate different devices into the FDM.
9.8.1 Installation
If the signal converter Device Description has not yet been installed on the FDM system, the
Device Description is required in binary format and is available for download from the website.
See the section regarding Managing DDs in the FDM User Guide for information on installing the
Device Descriptions in binary format.
9.8.2 Operation
INFORMATION!
For more detailed information see Appendix A, Menu tree for Basic DD.
Operating the signal converter via the Field Device Manager is very similar to manual device
control using the keyboard.
Limitation: The Service Menu parameters for the device are not supported and a simulation is
only possible for current outputs. The online help for each parameter contains its function
number as a reference to the local device display.
specific protective functions such as the passwords for the quick setup menu and the setup
9.9 Process Device Manager (PDM)

The Process Device Manager (PDM) is a Siemens PC program designed to configure HART®
devices. Device Descriptions (DDs) are used to integrate different devices into the PDM.
9.9.1 Installation
If the signal converter Device Description has not yet been installed on the PDM system, a so-
called Device Install HART® PDM is required for the signal converter. This is available for
download from the website.
For installation under PDM V 5.2, see PDM manual, section 11.1 - Install device / Integrate device
into SIMATIC PDM with Device Install.
For installation under PDM V 6.0, see PDM manual, Section 13 - Integrating devices.
Please also read the "readme.txt", which is also contained in the Installation Kit.

9.9.2 Operation
INFORMATION!
For more detailed information see Appendix C, Menu tree for PDM.
Due to PDM requirements and conventions, there are differences when operating the signal
converter with PDM and operating using the local keyboard. The service menu parameters are
not supported and simulation is only possible for current outputs. The online help for each
parameter contains its function number as a reference to the local device display.
specific protective functions such as the passwords for the "quick setup" menu and the "setup"

The counter measurements and the diagnosis values can be set directly in the PDM offline table.
The dependent unit parameters are automatically updated. However, automatic updating is not
possible in online dialogues of the PDM parameter table.

9.10 Field Device Tool / Device Type Manager (FDT / DTM)

A Field Device Tool (FDT) Container or Frame is basically a PC program used to configure HART®
devices. To adapt to different devices, an FDT container/frame uses a so-called Device Type
Manager (DTM).
9.10.1 Installation
If the Device Type Manager for the signal converter has not yet been installed on the Field Device
Tool Container/Frame, setup is required and is available for download from the website. See the
supplied documentation for information on how to install and set up the DTM.
9.10.2 Operation
Operating the signal converter via DTM is very similar to manual device control using the
keyboard. See also local device display.
