4.4 Integration of DD

If the host supports DD (Device Description), the

DD of the transmitter needs to be installed. Check if

host has the following directory under its default DD

directory.

594543\000C

(594543 is the manufacturer number of

Yokogawa Electric Corporation, and 000C is the

EJX device number, respectively. The device

number of EJA is "0011".)

If this directory is not found, the DD of the

transmitter has not been included. Create the above

directory and copy the DD file (0m0n.ffo, 0m0n.

sym) (m, n is a numeral) into the directory. ‘0m’ in

the file name shows the device revision, and ‘0n’

shows the DD revision. If you do not have the DD or

capabilities files, you can download them from our

web site:
http://www.yokogawa.com/fld/
Once the DD is installed in the directory, the name

and attribute of all parameters of the transmitter are

displayed.
Off-line configuration is possible by using

capabilities files.
The transmitter has two capabilities levels, “1” and

“2”.
Select “Capabilities level = 1” when the transmitter

does not have LC1(PID function) option.
Select “Capabilities level = 2” when the transmitter

has LC1(PID function) option.
The capabilities level defines the kind and the

number of function blocks that can be used.
The table below shows the relation.

4.5 Set the parameters using

DTM

When configure the parameters using FieldMate,

use the DTM (Device Type Manager) shown in the

Table 4.2.

The DTM corresponding to the above is included in

Yokogawa Device DTM Library 4.0/Device Files

R 3.05.00 or later.

4.6 Reading the Parameters

To read the transmitter parameters, select the AI1

block of the transmitter from the host screen and

read the OUT parameter. The current selected

signal is displayed. Check that MODE_BLOCK

of the function block and resource block is set to

AUTO, and change the signal input and read the

parameter again. A new designated value should be

displayed.

4.7 Continuous Record of

Values

If the host has a function that continuously

records the indications, use this function to list the

indications (values). Depending on the host being

used, it may be necessary to set the schedule of

Publish (the function that transmits the indication on

a periodic basis).

4.8 Generation of Alarm

Generation of an alarm can be attempted from

the transmitter. Block alarm, Output limit alarm,

and Update alarm are informed to the host. When

generating alarm, a Link Object and a VCR Static

Entry need to be set. For details of Link Object and

VCR Static Entry, refer to section 5.6.1 Link object

and section 5.5.1 VCR Setting.
