Using the Transmitter
7.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to use the transmitter in everyday operation. The following topics and
procedures are discussed:
• Using the I&M functions – see Section 7.2
• Recording process variables – see Section 7.3
• Viewing process variables – see Section 7.4
• Using the LEDs – see Section 7.5
• Viewing transmitter status and alarms – see Section 7.6
• Handling status alarms – see Section 7.7
• Viewing and using the totalizers and inventories – see Section 7.8
Note: All procedures provided in this chapter assume that you have established communication with
the Model 2400S DP transmitter and that you are complying with all applicable safety requirements.
Note: If you are using Pocket ProLink, the interface is similar to the ProLink II interface described in
this chapter.
7.2 Using the I&M functions
The Model 2400S DP transmitter implements the following PROFIBUS identification and
maintenance (I&M) functions:
•I&M 0
•I&M 1
as specified in Profile Guidelines Part 1: Identification & Maintenance Functions Version 1.1.1,
March 2005.
The I&M functions contain a variety of device and manufacturer information. Two of the I&M value
are set by the user during installation (see Section 8.12). The other values, including the Manufacturer
ID, are hard-coded. The Manufacturer ID stored on the transmitter can be used as a code to obtain
current device and manufacturer data from the PROFIBUS web site
(http://www.profibus.com/IM/Man_ID_Table.xml).
The I&M functions are not accessible via ProLink II or the display. If you are using Siemens Simatic
PDM, v6.0 SP2 or higher is required. Earlier versions do not support I&M functions.
