GE XMT868 Quick Start Manual

Factory Reset Fieldbus network connections are made at J8, pins 1 and 2 (see Figure 1 below). Optionally, a shield can be connected to J8 pin 3, depending on the network wiring. No connections are made to J9 under normal operation. If it is desired to reset the network board to factory defaults: 1. Connect a jumper between J9 pin 2 and J9 pin 3. 2. Power cycle the instrument. 3. Ten seconds after the power has been restored to the unit, remove the jumper to return the network board to normal operation.

November 2005 Foundation Fieldbus Communications Foundation Fieldbus provides a means of communicating with the XMT flowmeter. The patent numbers which apply are 5,909,363 and 6,424,872. This Foundation Fieldbus device supports 2 Analog Input (AI) blocks, which can be configured to supply the following measurements on the network.

Respective totals are automatically scaled by the Tot Digits value selected in the XMT flow meter setup. VOL_U, TOT_U, POWER_U and ENERGY_U are determined by the units chosen for these measurements in the setup for the XMT868 flow meter. See the instrument User's Manual for the setup of these parameters.

November 2005 Configuration Utility Setup The following is an example setup using National Instruments Configuration Utility v3.1. Figure 2 below shows the Configuration Utility with an XMT868 flow meter on the network (GE Flow-XMT). Figure 2: Configuration Utility Setup Example Note: The following procedures assume that the device has been placed in the OOS (out-of-service) mode before executing. Selecting the Desired Measurements To set the measurement unit for each AI: 1. Double click on the FLOW Transducer Block (in the tree under GEFlow-XMT). 2. Select the Others tab and open the drop down list for the PRIMARY_SELECTOR and SECONDARY_SELECTOR (see Figure 3 on page 4). 3. Choose the unit from the list (see Figure 3 on page 4). This unit will correspond to the unit that is available in the AI block for network connection. The PRIMARY_SELECTOR unit will correspond to ANALOG_INPUT_1 and the SECONDARY_SELECTOR will correspond to ANALOG_INPUT_2.

November 2005 Selecting the Desired Measurements (cont.) 4. After the desired measurements have been selected for the PRIMARY and SECONDARY SELECTOR, choose the unit system (UNIT_SELECTOR above the PRIMARY_SELECTOR) that has been programmed in the XMT868 (English or SI). Figure 3: Primary Selector Drop Down List

November 2005 Selecting Units for AI Blocks To select the units for the individual AI blocks: 1. Double click on the AI block for which you wish to set the units (ANALOG_INPUT_1 or ANALOG_INPUT_2 in the tree under GEFlow- XMT; see Figure 2 on page 3). 2. Select the Scaling tab and set the unit for the measurement based on the XMT868 flow meter settings. For example, if the XMT868 was set to use the metric unit system and the PRIMARY_SELECTOR was set to use VELOCITY you would choose m/s for the unit as shown in Figure 4 below. Figure 4: Units Index Drop Down List

November 2005 Resetting Instrument Totalizers To reset the instrument totalizers: 1. Double click on the FLOW transducer block (in the tree under GEFlow- XMT; see Figure 2 on page 3). 2. Select the Others tab and scroll down to the CLEAR_TOTALIZERS listing. 3. Select Clear from the drop down list box (see Figure 5 below). 4. After the totals have been reset, select Normal from the drop down list box to resume total accumulation. Figure 5: Clear Totalizers Drop Down List

November 2005 Function Block Application Figure 6 below is an example setup using the Function Block Application editor. The XMT868 AI blocks, along with the AO and PID of another device on the network, are displayed. We have connected the AI_1 OUT of the XMT868 to the CAS IN of the AO block. We have also connected the AI_2 OUT of the XMT868 to the CAS IN of the PID block. Figure 6: Function Block Application
