Rosemount 8732
TRANSDUCER BLOCK
PV The process variables (PV) measure flow in several ways that reflect your
needs and the configuration of your flowmeter. When commissioning a
flowmeter, review each process variable, its function and output, and take
corrective action if necessary before using the flowmeter in a
process application
PV Value – The actual measured flow rate in the line. Use the Process
Variable Units function to select the units for your application.
PV Status – The status of the process variable. This indicates whether the
reported flow rate is “good”, “uncertain”, or “bad”.
PV Value The PV Value shows the current measured flow rate.
PV Status The PV Status shows the health of the PV Value.
Good - The PV Value is valid and the flowmeter system is operating normally.
Uncertain - The PV Value is being reported, but a condition exists that is
potentially compromising the measurement. This condition could be caused
by a problem with the flowmeter or the process.
Bad - A problem exists with the flowmeter system that has resulted in a
potentially faulty flow measurement. Consult status and diagnostic
information to identify the problem.
BASIC SETUP The basic configuration functions of the Rosemount 8732 must be set for all
applications of the transmitter in a magnetic flowmeter system. If your
application requires the advanced functionality features of the Rosemount
8732, see Section 4 of this manual.
Flow Units Flow Units set the output units for the Primary Variable. This parameter is
configured in the Transducer Block.
