57-645 E lipse Guided Wave Radar Transmitter - PROFIBUS PA™

1.0 PROFIBUS PA™Overview
1.1 Description
PROFIBUS PA™is a digital ommuni ations system that
serially inter onne ts devi es in the field. A fieldbus system
is similar to a Distributed Control System (DCS) with two
ex eptions:
• Although a PROFIBUS PA™system an use the same physi-
al wiring as an existing 4–20 mA devi e, fieldbus devi es
are not onne ted point to point, but rather are mul-
tidropped and wired in parallel on a single pair of wires
(referred to as a segment).
• PROFIBUS PA™is a system that allows the user to
distribute ontrol a ross a network. Fieldbus devi es are
smart and a tually maintain ontrol over the system.
Unlike 4–20 mA analog installations in whi h the two wires
arry a single variable (the varying 4–20 mA urrent), a dig-
ital ommuni ations s heme su h as PROFIBUS PA™on-
siders the two wires as a network. The network an arry
many pro ess variables as well as other information. The
Enhan ed E lipse Model 705PA transmitter is a
PROFIBUS PA™ertified devi e that ommuni ates with
the DPV1 proto ol operating at 31.25 kbits/se . The MBP
physi al layer is an approved IEC 61158 standard.
An IEC61158 shielded twisted pair wire segment an be as
long as 6234 feet (1900 meters) without a repeater. Up to
4 repeaters per segment an be used to extend the distan e.
The maximum number of devi es allowed on a fieldbus seg-
ment is 32 although this depends on the urrent draw
of the devi es on any given segment.

Details regarding able spe ifi ations, grounding, termination,
and other network information an be found in IEC 61158
or the te hni al guideline “PROFIBUS PA™User and
Installation Guideline” at www.profibus.com.
1.2 Benefits
The benefits of PROFIBUS PA™an be found throughout
all phases of an installation:
1. D sign/Installation: Conne ting multiple devi es to a single
pair of wires means less wire and fewer I/O equipment.
Initial Engineering osts are also redu ed be ause
PROFIBUS International requires interoperability, defined
as “the ability to operate multiple devi es in the same system,
regardless of manufa turer, without a loss of fun tionality.”
All PROFIBUS PA™devi es must be tested for
interoperability by a PI a redited, independent testing
agen y. Magnetrol Model 705PA devi e ertifi ation infor-
mation an be found at www.profibus.com.
2. Op ration: A PROFIBUS PA™system allows for multiple
variables to be brought ba k from ea h devi e to the ontrol
room for additional trending and reporting.
3. Maint nanc : The self-diagnosti s residing in the smart
field devi es minimizes the need to send maintenan e
personnel to the field.
1.3 Device Confi uration
The fun tion of a PROFIBUS PA™devi e is determined by
the arrangement of a system of blo ks. The types of blo ks
used in a typi al User Appli ation are des ribed as follows:
Physical Block des ribes the hara teristi s of the
PROFIBUS PA™devi e su h as the devi e name,
manufa turer, and serial number.
Function Blocks are built into the PROFIBUS PA™devi es
as needed to provide the desired ontrol system behavior.
There an be numerous fun tion blo ks in a single User
Appli ation.
Transduc r Blocks ontain information su h as alibration
parameters and sensor type. They are used to onne t the
sensor to the input fun tion blo ks.
An important requirement of fieldbus devi es is the interop-
erability on ept mentioned earlier. Devi e Des ription
(DD) te hnology an provide extended des riptions for
ea h obje t and provides pertinent information useful for a
host system.

57-645 E lipse Guided Wave Radar Transmitter - PROFIBUS PA™

DDs are similar to the drivers that your personal omputer
(PC) uses to operate peripheral devi es onne ted to it.
Gene al PROFIBUS Info mation:
• The Model 705 supports PA Profile Version 3.0
• The Ident Number issued by the PNO for Magnetrol
Model 705 3.x is 0x09B3. The Ident Number is in luded
in the name of the GSD file.
• The General Station Des ription (GSD) file provides
information on the features and performan e apabilities
of a PROFIBUS devi e to allow easy onfiguration of
PROFIBUS networks with devi es from different
manufa turers. The manufa turer-spe ifi GSD file for PA
Model 705 3.x is Mag_09B3.gsd. Also, a bitmap file
spe ified in the GSD file provides a symboli representa-
tion of the devi e for network onfiguration tools.
• The Model 705 3.x an also use the profile-spe ifi GSD
file PA139703.gsd. If this general GSD file is used, the
“Ident number Sele tor” parameter in the Physi al Blo k
must be set to the profile-spe ifi ident number. The
default sele tion of the “Ident Number Sele tor”
parameter is the manufa turer-spe ifi ident number.
• A Devi e Des ription is available for onfiguring the
devi e using Simati PDM.
• The range of devi e bus addresses is 0 to 126. 126 is the
default address and all units will ship with address 126
unless a non-default address assignment is requested by
the ustomer. The address an be hanged via the fieldbus
or the lo al LCD interfa e.

1.4 Intrinsic Safety
The IEC61158 physi al layer supports Intrinsi Safety (IS)
appli ations with bus-powered devi es. To a omplish this,
an IS barrier or galvani isolator is pla ed between the
power supply in the safe area and the devi e in the
hazardous area.

IEC61158 also supports the Fieldbus Intrinsi ally Safe
Con ept (FISCO) model whi h allows more field devi es in
a network. The FISCO model onsiders the apa itan e and
indu tan e of the wiring to be distributed along its entire
length. Therefore, the stored energy during a fault will be
less and more devi es are permitted on a pair of wires.
Instead of the onservative entity model, whi h only allows
about 90 mA of urrent, the FISCO model allows a maxi-
mum of 110 mA for Class II C installations and 240 mA
for Class II B installations.
FISCO ertifying agen ies have limited the maximum
segment length to 1000 meters be ause the FISCO model
does not rely on standardized ignition urves.
The Enhan ed E lipse Model 705 is available with entity IS,
FISCO IS, FNICO non-in endive, or explosion proof
approvals.
2.0 QuickStart Installation

ent in most work environments.
The following steps are re ommended to redu e the risk of
omponent failure due to ele trostati dis harge.
• Ship and store ir uit boards in anti-stati bags. If an anti-
stati bag is not available, wrap the board in aluminum foil.
Do not pla e boards on foam pa king materials.
• Use a grounding wrist strap when installing and removing
ir uit boards. A grounded workstation is re ommended.
• Handle ir uit boards only by the edges. Do not tou h
omponents or onne tor pins.
• Make sure that all ele tri al onne tions are ompletely
made and none are partial or floating. Ground all equip-
ment to a good, earth ground.

4.0 Function Blocks
4.1 Overview
The Enhan ed E lipse Model 705 Guided Wave Radar
Level Transmitter operates on the prin iple of Time Domain
Refle tometry (TDR). Refer to Bulletins 57-101 and 57-600
for more detailed information on the E lipse produ t family.
The Enhan ed E lipse Model 705PA is a Guided Wave
Radar (GWR) level transmitter with six PROFIBUS PA™
Blo ks (one Physi al Blo k, one Transdu er Blo k, and four
Analog Input blo ks). The idea of Fun tion Blo ks, whi h a
user an ustomize for a parti ular appli ation, is a key on-
ept of fieldbus topology. Fun tion Blo ks onsist of an
algorithm, inputs and outputs, and a user-defined name.
The TRANSDUCER blo k output is available to the net-
work through the ANALOG INPUT blo ks.
The ANALOG INPUT blo ks (AI) take the TRANSDUCER
blo k level or volume values and makes them available as an
analog value to the network. The AI blo ks have s aling on-
version, filtering, and alarm fun tions.

mented ea h time a stati parameter is hanged.
TAG_DESC (tag d scriptor): A user-supplied des ription
of the blo k.
STRATEGY: A user-spe ified value that may be used in
onfiguration or diagnosti s as a key in sorting blo k
information.
ALERT_KEY: A user-assigned value that may be used in
sorting alarms or events generated by a blo k.
TARGET_MODE: This attribute indi ates what mode of
operation is desired for the blo k.
MODE_BLK: A stru tured parameter omposed of the a tual
mode, the normal and the permitted mode(s) of a blo k.
The a tual mode is set by the blo k during its exe ution to
