(5) Configuration Change Counter

The Configuration Change Counter is

incremented once for every user action

that changes the device’s configuration or

calibration. This value is never reset or written

and maintained even if power is removed from

the device.

4.2 Advanced Diagnostics

(Only for EJX series)

EJX

4.2.1 Multi-sensing Process Monitoring

Multi-sensing process monitoring function (option

code: /DG6) provides the advanced diagnostics

to detect the abnormal conditions in process

environment such as an impulse line etc. by using

the EJX multisensing technology and its unique

algorithm. There are following two functions.

Impulse Line Blockage Detection (ILBD)

The fluctuation change of differential pressure and

static pressure is monitored by a silicone resonant

sensor and detects a potential blockage condition.

The differential pressure transmitter gives also a

result of which pressure-side was plugged.

Heat Trace Monitoring

The two temperature sensors built in the transmitter

calculate the flange temperature, the change of

which enables to detect the heat trace breakage or

the abnormal temperature due to the failure.

4.2.2 Impulse Line Blockage Detection

(ILBD)

ILBD is carried out by using statistical analysis

based on the measured values of process

fluctuations that exist in a fluid. An alarm on the

transmitter LCD display or an analog alert is

generated if blockage reaches a certain level.

The transmitter provides the following results as

blockage detection.
(1) A Blocking and B Blocking

These are blockage detections based on

the fluctuation value change of differential

pressure/pressure. With a differential pressure

transmitter, each result indicates that both or

single side is plugged.

(2) L Side Blocking

It is a low-pressure side blockage detection

based on the change of

BlkF or low-pressure-

side fluctuation value.

(3) H Side Blocking

It is a high-pressure side blockage detection

based on the change of

BlkF or high-pressure-

side fluctuation value.

*:

BlkF indicates blockage degree characterized

by a comparison of the high- and low-pressure-

side fluctuation values. For the details, refer to

Figure 4.2.2.

IMPORTANT

• The pressure fluctuation amplitude in fluids

must be sufficiently large for blockages to be

detected.

• If the pressure fluctuation amplitude is too

low for a reference value to be obtained,

blockages detection operation cannot be

performed with an alarm that the reference

value is invalid.

• The pressure fluctuation amplitude may

decrease due to other causes unrelated with

a blockage according to process condition. In

above case, a false alarm of an impulse line

blockage may be generated. Before taking

action in response to a blockage alarm,

consider the plant operating conditions.

Notes for Pressure or Level

Measurement

With pressure or level measurement, the pressure

fluctuation amplitude may reduce especially for the

following cases.
