NOTICE
The device and fieldbus cable can be damaged by electrical voltage
‣Switch off the power supply before installing or connecting the device.
‣Grounding via one of the grounding screws is recommended.
‣If the shielding of the fieldbus cable is grounded at more than one point in systems without
additional potential equalization, mains-frequency equalizing currents may occur and
cause damage to the cable or shielding. In such cases, the shielding of the fieldbus cable is
to be grounded on one side only, i.e. it must not be connected to the ground terminal of the
housing. The shield that is not connected should be insulated!
We recommend that the fieldbus not be looped using conventional cable glands. If you
replace even just one measuring device at a later date, the bus communication will have
to be interrupted.

• A shielded cable must be used for the connection.

RID14 Wiring
Endress+Hauser 15
5.2.2 Fieldbus connector
Optionally, a fieldbus connector can be screwed into the field housing instead of a cable gland.
Fieldbus connectors can be ordered as accessories from Endress+Hauser (see the 'Accessories'
section in the Operating Instructions).
The connection technology of PROFIBUS® PA 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 substantial advantages over conventional wiring:
• Field devices can be removed, replaced or added at any time during normal operation.
Communication is not interrupted.
• Installation and maintenance are significantly easier.
• Existing cable infrastructures can be used and expanded instantly, e.g. when constructing
new star distributors using 4-channel or 8-channel distribution modules.
Supply line/T-box shielding
Always use cable glands with good EMC properties, where possible with wrapround cable
shielding (Iris spring). This requires minimum differences in potential, and possibly potential
equalization.
• The shielding of the PA cable may not be interrupted.
• The shielding connection must always be kept as short as possible.
Ideally, cable glands with Iris springs should be used to connect the shielding. The shielding is
connected to the T-box housing by means of the Iris spring located inside the gland. The
shielding braid is located under the Iris spring.
When the armored thread is tightened, the Iris spring is pressed against the shielding, thereby
creating a conductive connection between the shielding and the metal housing.
A junction box or a plug-in connection must be considered part of the shielding (Faraday
shield). This is particularly true for separate boxes if they are connected to a PROFIBUS® PA
device with a plug-in cable. In this case, a metal connector must be used whereby the cable
shielding is connected to the connector housing (e.g. preterminated cables).

The devices meet the requirements for IP 67 protection. Compliance with the following points
is mandatory to guarantee IP 67 protection following installation or service work:
• The housing seal must be clean and undamaged when inserted into the groove. The seal
should have been cleaned, dried or replaced.
• The connection cables must have the specified outside diameter (e.g. M16 x 1.5, cable
diameter 5 to 10 mm (0.2 to 0.39 in)).
• Replace all unused cable entries with dummy plugs.
• The grommet may not be removed from the cable entry.
• The housing cover and cable entry/entries must be closed tightly.
• Install the device in such a way that the cable entries point downwards.

6 Operating the field indicator
6.1 Quick operation guide
Operators have two options for configuring and commissioning the device:
1. Configuration programs
Device-specific parameters are configured via the E+H Service interface (CDI). A special device
driver (DTM) for an FDT operating program (e.g. DeviceCare, FieldCare) is available for this
purpose →  20.
The DTM file is available for download via: www.endress.com/download → Enter product root
→ Media type "Software" and "Device drivers".
2. Miniature switches (DIP switches) for local configuration

Operating the field indicator RID14
18 Endress+Hauser
You can make the following settings for the fieldbus interface using miniature switches (DIP
switches) on the electronics module →  20:
• Setting to specify whether operation is possible via DIP switches or remotely via the DTM
• Setting for the address of the bus users whose values are to be displayed
• Configuring an offset

6.1.1 Listener mode
The field indicator acts solely as a listener, i.e. it does not appear in the bus as an active user
with its own specific address and it also does not increase the traffic in the bus.
The field indicator analyzes the devices active on the bus. Via their addresses these devices
can be assigned to up to 8 channels if DTM operation is used, or up to 2 channels in the case
of operation with DIP switches.
Operation via the PROFIBUS protocol is not possible given the sole listener function of
the indicator!

The backlit LCD display contains a bargraph (0-100) and arrows to indicate measurements

codes are displayed in the 7-segment area. Here up to 8 values can be displayed with a
alternating time between 2 and 20 seconds. Plain text can be displayed in the 14-segment
area (text is limited to 16 characters and is scrolled if needed (marquee text)).
The indicator also displays the quality of the measured value. If the status of the displayed
value is 'good' (quality code equal to or above 0x80), no symbol is lit and the indicator remains
in the normal operational state. If the status of the displayed value is 'uncertain' (quality code
between 0x40 and below 0x80), the 'Uncertain measured value status' symbol is lit. If the
status is 'bad' (quality code below 0x40), within the 7-segment area the display will show
"BAD-" and the channel number where the bad value is published. The entered text continues
to be displayed in the 14-segment area and the bar graph is not shown.

6.3 Configuration of the field indicator
NOTICE
The device is not explosion-protected when the housing is open
‣The device must be configured outside the hazardous area.
To configure the device via the FieldCare Device Setup software, connect the device to your PC.
For this you will require a special interface adapter, the Commubox FXA291 (see 'Accessories'
section in the Operating Instructions).
The four-pin plug of the interface cable must be inserted into the corresponding socket in the
device. The USB plug must be inserted into a free USB port on the PC.
More information on configuring via the PC configuration software can be found in the
Operating Instructions.
No power should be supplied via the bus if configuring the PROFIBUS PA indicator with
the DTM via the CDI interface!
To ensure a connection to the device can be established, operation must be set to
"Remote" at the DIP switches. Furthermore write protection, which can be enabled and
disabled via the DIP switches, must be disabled so that the parameters of the field
indicator can be modified via the DTM.
The DIP switches are described in the "Operation" section →  20.
6.4 Hardware settings
Hardware write protection can be enabled and disabled via DIP switches inside the field
indicator. When write protection is active, parameters cannot be modified.
The current write protection status is displayed in the WRITE_LOCK parameter.

2. Configure the DIP switches. Switch to ON = function enabled, switch to OFF = function
disabled.
3. Fit the display onto the electronics.
4. Close the housing cover and secure it.
