Proline Promass 84 Modbus RS485 Safety instructions

1 Safety instructions

1.1 Designated use

The measuring device described in these Operating Instructions is to be used only for measuring the
mass flow rate of liquids and gases. At the same time, the system also measures fluid density and
fluid temperature. These parameters are then used to calculate other variables such as volume flow.
Fluids with widely differing properties can be measured.
Examples:
• Oils, fats
• Acids, alkalis, lacquers, paints, solvents and cleaning agents
• Pharmaceuticals, catalysts, inhibitors
• Suspensions
• Gases, liquefied gases, etc.
• Chocolate, condensed milk, liquid sugar
Resulting from incorrect use or from use other than that designated the operational safety of the
measuring devices can be suspended. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages being
produced from this.

1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation

Note the following points:
• Installation, connection to the electricity supply, commissioning and maintenance of the
measuring instrument must be carried out by trained, qualified specialists authorized to perform
such work by the facility's owner-operator.
The specialist must have read and understood these Operating Instructions and must follow the
instructions they contain.
• The device must be operated by persons authorized and trained by the facility's owner-operator.
Strict compliance with the instructions in the Operating Instructions is mandatory.
• Endress+Hauser will be happy to assist in clarifying the corrosion resistance properties of materials
wetted by special fluids, including fluids used for cleaning. However, small changes of
temperature, concentration or degree of contamination in the process can result in differences in
corrosion resistance. Therefore, Endress+Hauser provides no warranty and assumes no liability
with regard to corrosion resistance of fluid wetted materials in an application. The user is
responsible for choosing suitable fluid wetted materials in the process.
• If carrying out welding work on the piping, the welding unit may not be grounded by means of
the measuring device.
• The installer must ensure that the measuring system is correctly wired in accordance with the
wiring diagrams. The transmitter must be earthed unless special protection measures have been
taken e.g. galvanically isolated power supply SELV or PELV (SELV = Save Extra Low Voltage;
PELV = Protective Extra Low Voltage).
• Invariably, local regulations governing the opening and repair of electrical devices apply.

1.3 Operational safety

Note the following points:
• Measuring systems for use in hazardous environments are accompanied by separate "Ex
documentation", which is an integral part of these Operating Instructions. Strict compliance with
the installation instructions and ratings as stated in this supplementary documentation is
mandatory.
The symbol on the front of this supplementary Ex documentation indicates the approval and the
certification body (e.g 0 Europe, 2 USA, 1 Canada).
• The measuring device complies with the general safety requirements in accordance with
EN 61010-1 , the EMC requirements of IEC/EN 61326, and NAMUR recommendations NE 21,
NE 43 and NE 53.
• For measuring systems used in SIL 2 applications, the separate Manual on functional safety, must
be observed.
• External surface temperature of the transmitter can increase by 10 K due to power consumption
of internal electronical components. Hot process fluids passing through the measuring device will
further increase the surface temperature of the measuring device. Especially the surface of the
sensor can reach temperatures which are close to process temperature. Additionally safety
precautions are required when increased process temperatures are present.
• The separate document on the Pressure Equipment Directive must be observed for devices used
in Category II, III or IV installations in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to modify technical data without prior notice. Your
Endress+Hauser representative will supply you with current information and updates to these
Operating Instructions.

1.4 Return
• Do not return a measuring device if you are not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous
substances have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated crevices or diffused
through plastic.
• Costs incurred for waste disposal and injury (burns, etc.) due to inadequate cleaning will be
charged to the owner-operator.
• Please note the measures on  ä 98

3.2 Installation conditions

Note the following points:
• No special measures such as supports are necessary. External forces are absorbed by the
construction of the instrument, for example the secondary containment.
• The high oscillation frequency of the measuring tubes ensures that the correct operation of the
measuring system is not influenced by pipe vibrations.
• No special precautions need to be taken for fittings which create turbulence (valves, elbows, T-
pieces, etc.), as long as no cavitation occurs.
• For mechanical reasons and in order to protect the pipe, it is advisable to support heavy sensors.

3.2.1 Dimensions
All the dimensions and lengths of the sensor and transmitter are provided in the separate
documentation entitled "Technical Information".

3.2.2 Mounting location

Entrained gas bubbles in the measuring tube can result in an increase in measuring errors.
Avoid the following locations:
• Highest point of a pipeline. Risk of air accumulating.
• Directly upstream of a free pipe outlet in a vertical pipeline.

Installation in a vertical pipe

The proposed configuration in the following diagram, however, permits installation in a vertical
pipeline. Pipe restrictors or the use of an orifice plate with a smaller cross-section than the nominal
diameter prevent the sensor from running empty during measurement.

System pressure
It is important to ensure that cavitation does not occur, because it would influence the oscillation
of the measuring tube. No special measures need to be taken for fluids which have properties similar
to water under normal conditions.
In the case of liquids with a low boiling point (hydrocarbons, solvents, liquefied gases) or in suction
lines, it is important to ensure that pressure does not drop below the vapor pressure and that the
liquid does not start to boil. It is also important to ensure that the gases that occur naturally in many
liquids do not outgas. Such effects can be prevented when system pressure is sufficiently high.
Consequently, it is generally best to install the sensor:
• downstream from pumps (no danger of vacuum),
• at the lowest point in a vertical pipe.

3.2.3 Orientation
Make sure that the direction of the arrow on the nameplate of the sensor matches the direction of
flow direction in which the fluid flows through the pipe.

Orientation Promass A
Vertical
Recommended orientation with direction of flow upwards. When fluid is not flowing, entrained
solids will sink down and gases will rise away from the measuring tube. The measuring tubes can
be completely drained and protected against solids build-up.
Horizontal
When installation is correct the transmitter housing is above or below the pipe. This means that no
gas bubbles or solids deposits can form in the bent measuring tube (single-tube system).

" Caution!
Risk of measuring pipe fracture if sensor installed incorrectly!
The sensor may not be installed in a pipe as a freely suspended sensor:
• Using the base plate, mount the sensor directly on the floor, the wall or the ceiling.
• Support the sensor on a firmly mounted support base (e.g. angle bracket).

3.2.4 Heating
Some fluids require suitable measures to avoid loss of heat at the sensor. Heating can be electric,
e.g. with heated elements, or by means of hot water or steam pipes made of copper or heating
jackets.

" Caution!
• Risk of electronics overheating! Make sure that the maximum permissible ambient temperature
for the transmitter is not exceeded. Consequently, make sure that the adapter between sensor and
transmitter and the connection housing of the remote version always remain free of insulating
material. Note that a certain orientation might be required depending on the fluid temperature
 ä 17.
• With a fluid temperature between +200 °C to +350 °C (+392 to +662 °F) the remote version of
the high-temperature version is preferable.
• When using electrical heat tracing whose heat is regulated using phase control or by pulse packs,
it cannot be ruled out that the measured values are influenced by magnetic fields which may
occur, (i.e. at values greater than those permitted by the EC standard (Sinus 30 A/m)). In such
cases, the sensor must be magnetically shielded.
The secondary containment can be shielded with tin plates or electric sheets without privileged
direction (e.g. V330-35A) with the following properties:
– Relative magnetic permeability μr  300
– Plate thickness d  0.35 mm (0.014")
• Information on permissible temperature ranges  ä 117
• Promass X: Especially under critical climatic conditions it has to be ensured that the temperature
difference between environment and measured medium does not exceed 100 K. Suitable
measures, such as heating or thermal insulation, are to be taken.
Special heating jackets which can be ordered as accessories from Endress+Hauser are available for
the sensors.

maximum insulation thickness of 60 mm (2.4") must be observed.

3.2.6 Inlet and outlet runs

There are no installation requirements regarding inlet and outlet runs. If possible, install the sensor
well clear of fittings such as valves, T-pieces, elbows, etc.

3.2.7 Vibrations
The high oscillation frequency of the measuring tubes ensures that the correct operation of the
measuring system is not influenced by pipe vibrations. Consequently, the sensors require no special
measures for attachment.

When connecting Ex-certified devices, see the notes and diagrams in the Ex-specific supplement to
these Operating Instructions. Please do not hesitate to contact your Endress+Hauser sales office if
you have any questions.

! Note!
The measuring instrument does not have an internal disconnecting device. Therefore, assign a
switch or circuit breaker to the measuring instrument with which the voltage supply line can be
disconnected from the power system.

4.1 Modbus RS485 cable specifications

In the EIA/TIA-485 standard, two versions (cable type A and B) are specified for the bus line and
can be used for all transmission rates. However, we recommend you use cable type A. The cable
specification for cable type A is provided in the following table:

Cable type A

Characteristic impedance 135 to 165  at a measuring frequency of 3 to 20 MHz

Cable capacitance < 30 pF/m

Core cross-section > 0.34 mm, corresponds to AWG 22

Cable type Twisted pairs

Loop-resistance  110 /km

Signal damping Max. 9 dB over the entire length of the cable cross-section
Shielding Copper braided shielding or braided shielding and foil shielding

Note the following points for the bus structure:

• All the measuring devices are connected in a bus structure (line).
• Using cable type A and with a transmission rate of 115200 Baud, the maximum line length
(segment length) of the Modbus RS485 system is 1200 m (4000 ft). The total length of the spurs
may not exceed a maximum of 6.6 m (21.7 ft) here.
• A maximum of 32 users are permitted per segment.
• Each segment is terminated at either end with a terminating resistor.
• The bus length or the number of users can be increased by introducing a repeater.

Proline Promass 84 Modbus RS485 Wiring

4.1.1 Shielding and grounding

When planning the shielding and grounding for a fieldbus system, there are three important points
to consider:
• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
• Explosion protection
• Safety of the personnel
To ensure the optimum electromagnetic compatibility of systems, it is important that the system
components and above all the cables, which connect the components, are shielded and that no
portion of the system is unshielded. Ideally, the cable shields are connected to the normally metal
housings of the connected field devices. Since these are generally connected to the protective earth,
the shield of the bus cable is grounded many times. Keep the stripped and twisted lengths of cable
shield to the terminals as short as possible.
This approach, which provides the best electromagnetic compatibility and personnel safety, can be
used without restriction in systems with good potential equalization.
In the case of systems without potential equalization, a power supply frequency (50 Hz) equalizing
current can flow between two grounding points which, in unfavorable cases, e.g. when it exceeds
the permissible shield current, may destroy the cable.
To suppress the low frequency equalizing currents on systems without potential equalization, it is
therefore recommended to connect the cable shield directly to the building ground (or protective
earth) at one end only and to use capacitive coupling to connect all other grounding points.

" Caution!
The legal EMC requirements are fulfilled only when the cable shield is grounded on both sides!

5.3.1 General notes

The Quick Setup menu contains the default settings that are adequate for commissioning.
Complex measuring operations on the other hand necessitate additional functions that you can
configure as necessary and customize to suit your process parameters. The function matrix,
therefore, comprises a multiplicity of additional functions which, for the sake of clarity, are arranged
on a number of menu levels (blocks, groups, and function groups).
Comply with the following instructions when configuring functions:
• You select functions as described already  ä 38.
Each cell in the function matrix is identified by a numerical or letter code on the display.
• You can switch off certain functions (OFF). If you do so, related functions in other function groups
will no longer be displayed.
• Certain functions prompt you to confirm your data entries.
Press P to select "SURE [ YES ]" and press F to confirm. This saves your setting or starts a
function, as applicable.
• Return to the HOME position is automatic if no key is pressed for 5 minutes.
• Programming mode is disabled automatically if you do not press a key within 60 seconds
following automatic return to the HOME position.

" Caution!
All functions are described in detail, as is the function matrix itself, in the "Description of Device
Functions" manual which is a separate part of these Operating Instructions.

! Note!
• The transmitter continues to measure while data entry is in progress, i.e. the current measured
values are output via the signal outputs in the normal way.
• If the supply voltage fails all preset and parameterized values remain safely stored in the EEPROM.

5.3.2 Enabling the programming mode

The function matrix can be disabled. Disabling the function matrix rules out the possibility of
inadvertent changes to device functions, numerical values or factory settings. A numerical code
(factory setting = 84) has to be entered before settings can be changed.
If you use a code number of your choice, you exclude the possibility of unauthorized persons
accessing data ( see the "Description of Device Functions" manual).
Comply with the following instructions when entering codes:
• If programming is disabled and the P operating elements are pressed in any function, a prompt
for the code automatically appears on the display.
• If "0" is entered as the customer's code, programming is always enabled!
• Your Endress+Hauser representative can be of assistance if you mislay your personal code.

" Caution!
Changing certain parameters such as all sensor characteristics, for example, influences numerous
functions of the entire measuring system, particularly measuring accuracy.
There is no need to change these parameters under normal circumstances and consequently, they
are protected by a special code known only to Endress+Hauser representatives.
Please contact Endress+Hauser if you have any questions.

5.3.3 Disabling the programming mode

Programming mode is disabled if you do not press an operating element within 60 seconds following
automatic return to the HOME position.
You can also disable programming in the "ACCESS CODE" function by entering any number (other
than the customer's code).

5.4.2 Error message type

The measuring device permanently assigns two types of error messages (fault message or notice
message) to system errors and process errors, thereby giving them a different weighting.
Serious system errors, e.g. module defects, are always identified and classed as "fault messages" by
the measuring device.
Notice message (!)
• The error in question has no effect on the current measuring operation and the outputs of the
measuring device.
• Displayed as  Exclamation mark (!), type of error (S: system error, P: process error)
Fault message ( $)
• The error in question stops or interrupts running operation and has an immediate effect on the
outputs. The response of the outputs (failsafe mode) can be defined by means of functions in the
function matrix.
• Displayed as  Lightning flash ( $ ), type of error (S: system error, P: process error)

! Note!
• Error conditions can be output via the relay outputs or the fieldbus communication.
• If an error message occurs, an upper or lower signal level for the breakdown information
according to NAMUR NE 43 can be output via the current output.

5.5 Modbus RS485 communication

5.5.1 Modbus RS485 technology

The Modbus is an open, standardized fieldbus system which is deployed in the areas of
manufacturing automation, process automation and building automation.

System architecture
The Modbus RS485 is used to specify the functional characteristics of a serial fieldbus system with
which distributed, digital automation systems are networked together.
The Modbus RS485 distinguishes between master and slave devices.
• Master devices
Master devices determine the data traffic on the fieldbus system. They can send data without an
external request.
• Slave devices
Slave devices, like this measuring device, are peripheral devices. They do not have their own
access rights to the data traffic of the fieldbus system and only send their data due to an external
request from a master.

Master/slave communication
A distinction is made between two methods of communication with regard to master/slave
communication via Modbus RS485:
• Polling (request-response-transaction)
The master sends a request telegram to one slave and waits for the slave's response telegram.
Here, the slave is contacted directly due to its unique bus address (1 to 247).

5.5.2 Modbus telegram

General
The master-slave process is used for data exchange. Only the master can initiate data transmission.
Following the prompt, the slave sends the master the necessary data as a response telegram or
executes the command requested by the master.

Telegram structure
The data is transferred between the master and slave by means of a telegram.
A request telegram from the master contains the following telegram fields:
Telegram structure:
Slave address Function code Data Check sum

• Slave address
The slave address can be in an address range from 1 to 247.
The master talks to all the slaves simultaneously by means of the slave address 0 (broadcast
message).
• Function code
The function code determines which read, write and test operations should be executed by means
of the Modbus protocol.
Function codes supported by the measuring device  ä 44
• Data
Depending on the function code, the following values are transmitted in this data field:
– Register start address (from which the data are transmitted)
– Number of registers
– Write/read data
– Data length
– etc.
• Check sum (CRC or LRC check)
The telegram check sum forms the end of the telegram.
The master can send another telegram to the slave as soon as it has received an answer to the
previous telegram or once the time-out period set at the master has expired. This time-out period
can be specified or modified by the user and depends on the slave response time.
If an error occurs during data transfer or if the slave cannot execute the command from the master,
the slave returns an error telegram (exception response) to the master.
The slave response telegram consists of telegram fields which contain the requested data or which
confirm that the action requested by the master has been executed. It also contains a check sum.

5.5.3 Modbus function codes

The function code determines which read, write and test operations should be executed by means
of the Modbus protocol. The measuring device supports the following function codes:

Function Name in accordance with Description

code Modbus specification

03 READ HOLDING Reads one or more registers of the Modbus slave.

REGISTER 1 to a maximum of 125 consecutive registers
(1 register = 2 byte) can be read with a telegram.
Application:
For reading measuring device parameters with read and write access,
such as reading the batch quantity.

04 READ INPUT REGISTER Reads one or more registers of the Modbus slave.
1 to a maximum of 125 consecutive registers
(1 register = 2 byte) can be read with a telegram.
Application:
For reading measuring device parameters with read access, such as
reading the measured values (mass flow, temperature, etc.).

06 WRITE SINGLE REGISTERS Writes a single slave register with a new value.
Application:
For writing just one measuring device parameter, such as writing the
batch quantity or resetting the totalizer.

! Note!
Function code 16 is used for writing several registers by means of just
one telegram.

08 DIAGNOSTICS Checks the communication connection between the master and

slave.
The following diagnostics codes are supported:
• Sub-function 00 = Return query data (loopback test)
• Sub-function 02 = Return diagnostics register

16 WRITE MULTIPLE Writes several slave registers with a new value.

REGISTERS A maximum of 120 consecutive registers can be written with a
telegram.
Application:
For writing several measuring device parameters, such as writing the
batch quantity and resetting the totalizer.

23 READ/WRITE MULTIPLE Simultaneous reading and writing of 1 to max. 118 registers in a

REGISTERS telegram. Write access is executed before read access.
Application:
For writing and reading several measuring device parameters, such as
writing the batch quantity and the correction quantity and reading
the totalizer value.

! Note!
• Broadcast messages are only permitted with function codes 06, 16 and 23.
• The measuring device does not differentiate between function codes 03 and 04. These codes have
the same result.

5.5.4 Maximum number of writes

If a nonvolatile device parameter is modified via the Modbus function codes 06, 16 or 23, this
change is saved in the EEPROM of the measuring device.
The number of writes to the EEPROM is technically restricted to a maximum of 1 million. Attention
must be paid to this limit since, if exceeded, it results in data loss and measuring device failure. For
this reason, avoid constantly writing nonvolatile device parameters via the Modbus!

44 Endress+Hauser
Proline Promass 84 Modbus RS485 Operation

5.5.5 Modbus register addresses

Each device parameter has its own register address. The Modbus master uses this register address
to talk to the individual device parameters and access the device data.
The register addresses of the individual device parameters can be found in the "Description of
Device Functions" manual under the parameter description in question.

Modbus register address model

The Modbus RS485 register addresses of the measuring device are implemented in accordance with
"Modbus Applications Protocol Specification V1.1".

! Note!
In addition to the specification mentioned above, systems are also deployed which work with a
register address model in accordance with the "Modicon Modbus Protocol Reference Guide
(PI-MBUS-300 Rev. J)" specification. With this specification, the register address is extended,
depending on the function code used. A "3" is put in front of the register address in the "read" access
mode and a "4" in the "write" access mode.

Function Access Register in accordance with: Register in accordance with:

code type "Modbus Applications Protocol "Modicon Modbus Protocol
Specification" Reference Guide"

06 Write XXXX  4XXXX

16
23 Example: reset totalizer = 6401 Example: reset totalizer = 46401

Response times
The time it takes a measuring device to respond to a request telegram from the Modbus master is
typically 25 to 50 ms. If faster response times are needed for time-critical applications (e.g. batching
applications), the "auto-scan buffer" is to be used.

! Note!
It may take longer for a command to be executed in the device. The data is not updated until the
command has been executed. Especially write commands are affected by this!

5.5.6 Modbus error messages

If the Modbus slave detects an error in the request telegram from the master, it sends a reply to the
master in the form of an error message consisting of the slave address, function code, exception code
and check sum. To indicate that this is an error message, the lead bit of the returned function code
is used. The reason for the error is transmitted to the master by means of the exception code.
The following exception codes are supported by the measuring device:

5.5.7 Modbus auto-scan buffer

Function description
The Modbus master uses the request telegram to access the device parameters (data) of the
measuring device. Depending on the function code, the master gains read or write access to a single
device parameter or a group of consecutive device parameters. If the desired device parameters
(registers) are not available as a group, the master has to send a request telegram to the slave for
each parameter.
The measuring device has a special storage area, known as the auto-scan buffer, for grouping
nonconsecutive device parameters. This can be used to flexibly group up to 16 device parameters
(registers). The master can talk to this complete data block by means of just one request telegram.

Structure of the auto-scan buffer

The auto-scan buffer consists of two data records, the configuration area and the data area. In the
configuration area, a list known as the scan list specifies which device parameters should be
grouped. For this purpose, the corresponding register address, e.g. the register address 2007 for
mass flow, is entered in the scan list. Up to 16 device parameters can be grouped.
The measuring device cyclically reads out the register addresses entered in the scan list and writes
the associated device data to the data area (buffer). The request cycle runs automatically. The cycle
starts again when the last entry in the scan list has been queried.
By means of Modbus, the grouped device parameters in the data area can be read or written by the
master with just one request telegram (register address 5051 to 5081).

Configuration of the scan list

During configuration, the Modbus register addresses of the device parameters to be grouped must
be entered in the scan list. The scan list can contain up to 16 entries. Float and Integer-type device
parameters with read and write access are supported.
The scan list can be configured by means of:
1. The local display or a configuration program (e.g. FieldCare).
The scan list is configured here by means of the function matrix:
BASIC FUNCTION  Modbus RS485  SCAN LIST REG. 1 to SCAN LIST REG. 16
2. The Modbus master.
Here, the scan list is configured via the register addresses 5001 to 5016.

The Modbus master uses the register addresses 5051 to 5081 to access the data area of the auto-
scan buffer. This data area contains the values of the device parameters defined in the scan list. For
example, if the register 2007 was entered for mass flow in the scan list by means of the SCAN LIST
REG. 1 function, the master can read out the current measured value of the mass flow in register
5051.

Severely pulsating flow

Once several device functions have been configured in the "Pulsating Flow" Quick Setup menu,
flow fluctuations of this nature can be compensated over the entire flow range and pulsating fluid
flows measured correctly. Below you will find detailed instructions on how to use this Quick Setup
menu.

! Note!
It is always advisable to work through the "Pulsating Flow" Quick Setup menu if there is any
uncertainty about the exact flow characteristic.

Slightly pulsating flow

If flow fluctuations are no more than minor, as is the case, for example with gear-type, three-
cylinder or multi-cylinder pumps, it is not absolutely necessary to work through the Quick Setup
menu.
In cases of this nature, however, it is advisable to adapt the functions listed below in the function
matrix (see the "Description of Device Functions" manual) to suit local process conditions in order
to ensure a stable, unvarying output signal:

• Measuring system damping: FLOW DAMPING function  Increase the value

• Current output damping: TIME CONSTANT function  Increase the value

6.3.3 Quick Setup "Gas Measurement"

The measuring device is not only suitable for measuring liquid flow. Direct mass measurement
based on the Coriolis principle is also possible for measuring the flow rate of gases.

! Note!
• Before carrying out the Quick Setup "Gas Measurement", the Quick Setup "Commissioning" has
to be executed  ä 59.
• Only mass and Corrected volume flow can be measured and output with the gas measurement
mode. Note that direct density and/or volume measurement is not possible!
• The flow ranges and measuring accuracy that apply to gas measurement are not the same as those
for liquids.
• If corrected volume flow (e.g. in Nm/h) is to be measured and output instead of the mass flow
(e.g. in kg/h), change the setting for the CORRECTED VOLUME CALCULATION function to
"FIXED REFERENCE DENSITY" in the "Commissioning" Quick Setup menu.
Corrected volume flow can be assigned as follows:
– to a display line,
– to the current output,
– to the pulse/frequency output.

6.4 Adjustment

6.4.1 Zero point adjustment

All Promass measuring devices are calibrated with state-of-the-art technology.
The zero point obtained in this way is printed on the nameplate.
Calibration takes place under reference operating conditions  ä 128.
Consequently, the zero point adjustment is generally not necessary for Promass!
Experience shows that the zero point adjustment is advisable only in special cases:
• To achieve highest measuring accuracy also at very small flow rates.
• Under extreme process or operating conditions (e.g. very high process temperatures or very high
viscosity fluids).

Preconditions for a zero point adjustment

Note the following before you perform a zero point adjustment:
• A zero point adjustment can be performed only with fluids that contain no gas or solid contents.
• Zero point adjustment is performed with the measuring tubes completely filled and at zero flow
(v = 0 m/s). This can be achieved, for example, with shutoff valves upstream and/or downstream
of the sensor or by using existing valves and gates.
– Normal operation  Valves 1 and 2 open
– Zero point adjustment with pump pressure  Valve 1 open / valve 2 closed
– Zero point adjustment without pump pressure  Valve 1 closed / valve 2 open

a0003601

Fig. 46: Zero point adjustment and shutoff valves

" Caution!
• If the fluid is very difficult to measure (e.g. containing entrained solids or gas) it may prove
impossible to obtain a stable zero point despite repeated zero point adjustments. In instances of
this nature, please contact your Endress+Hauser representative.
• You can view the currently valid zero point value using the "ZEROPOINT" function (see the
"Description of Device Functions" manual).

70 Endress+Hauser
Proline Promass 84 Modbus RS485 Commissioning

Performing a zero point adjustment

1. Operate the system until operating conditions have settled.
2. Stop the flow (v = 0 m/s).
3. Check the shutoff valves for leaks.
4. Check that operating pressure is correct.

6.4.2 Density adjustment

It is advisable to perform a density adjustment when optimum measuring accuracy is required for
calculating density dependent values. The application may require a 1-point or 2-point density
adjustment.
1-point density adjustment (with one fluid):
This type of density adjustment is necessary under the following circumstances:
• The sensor does not measure exactly the density value that the user expects on the basis of
laboratory analyses.
• The fluid properties are outside the measuring points set at the factory, or the reference operating
conditions used to calibrate the measuring device.
• The system is used exclusively to measure a fluid’s density which must be registered to a high
degree of accuracy under constant conditions.
Example: Brix density measurement for apple juice.
2-point density adjustment (with two fluids):
This type of adjustment is always to be carried out if the measuring tubes have been mechanically
altered by, e.g. material buildup, abrasion or corrosion. In such cases, the resonant frequency of the
measuring tubes has been affected by these factors and is no longer compatible with the calibration
data set at the factory. The 2-point density adjustment takes these mechanically-based changes into
account and calculates new, adjusted calibration data.

Performing a 1-point or 2-point density adjustment

" Caution!
• Onsite density adjustment can be performed only if the user has detailed knowledge of the fluid
density, obtained for example from detailed laboratory analyses.
• The target density value specified in this way must not deviate from the measured fluid density
by more than ±10%.
• An error in defining the target density affects all calculated density and volume functions.
• The 2-point density adjustment is only possible if both target density values are different from
each other by at least 0.2 kg/l. Otherwise the error message #731 (adjustment is not possible)
appears on the display.
• Density adjustment changes the factory density calibration values or the calibration values set by
the service technician.
• The functions outlined in the following instructions are described in detail in the "Description of
Device Functions" manual.
1. Fill the sensor with fluid. Make sure that the measuring tubes are completely filled and that
liquids are free of gas bubbles.
2. Wait until the temperature difference between fluid and measuring tube has equalized. The
time you have to wait for equalization depends on the fluid and the temperature level.
3. Using the local display, select the SETPOINT DENSITY function in the function matrix and
perform density adjustment as follows:

Function Function name Setting to be selected ( S or O )

6.5 Rupture disk

Sensor housings with integrated rupture disks are optionally available.

# Warning!
• Make sure that the function and operation of the rupture disk is not impeded through the
installation. Triggering overpressure in the housing as stated on the indication label. Take
adequate precautions to ensure that no damage occurs, and risk to human life is ruled out, if the
rupture disk is triggered.
Rupture disk: Burst pressure 10 to 15 bar (145 to 218 psi)
(Promass X: 5,5 to 6,5 bar (80 to 94 psi))
• Please note that the housing can no longer assume a secondary containment function if a rupture
disk is used.
• It is not permitted to open the connections or remove the rupture disk.

" Caution!
• Rupture disks can not be combined with separately available heating jacket (except Promass A).
• The existing connection nozzles are not designed for a rinse or pressure monitoring function.

! Note!
• Before commissioning, please remove the transport protection of the rupture disk.
• Please note the indication labels.

Endress+Hauser 73
Commissioning Proline Promass 84 Modbus RS485

6.6 Purge and pressure monitoring connections

The sensor housing protects the inner electronics and mechanics and is filled with dry nitrogen.
Beyond that, up to a specified measuring pressure it additionally serves as secondary containment.

# Warning!
For a process pressure above the specified containment pressure, the housing does not serve as an
additional secondary containment. In case a danger of measuring tube failure exists due to process
characteristics, e.g. with corrosive process fluids, we recommend the use of sensors whose housing
is equipped with special pressure monitoring connections (ordering option). With the help of these
connections, fluid collected in the housing in the event of tube failure can be drained off. This
diminishes the danger of mechanical overload of the housing, which could lead to a housing failure
and accordingly is connected with an increased danger potential. These connections can also be
used for gas purging (gas detection).
The following instructions apply to handling sensors with purge or pressure monitoring connections:
• Do not open the purge connections unless the containment can be filled immediately with a dry
inert gas.
• Use only low gauge pressure to purge. Maximum pressure 5 bar (72.51 psi).

6.7 Memory (HistoROM)

At Endress+Hauser, the term HistoROM refers to various types of data storage modules on which
process and measuring device data are stored. By unplugging and plugging such modules, device
configurations can be duplicated onto other measuring devices, to cite just one example.

6.7.1 HistoROM/S-DAT (sensor-DAT)

The S-DAT is an exchangeable data memory in which all sensor-relevant parameters are stored, i.e.,
diameter, serial number, calibration factor, zero point.

6.7.2 HistoROM/T-DAT (transmitter-DAT)

The T-DAT is an exchangeable data storage device in which all transmitter parameters and settings
are stored. Storing of specific parameter settings from the EEPROM to the T-DAT and vice versa
has to be carried out by the user (= manual save function). Detailed instructions regarding the
appropriated function (T-DAT SAVE/LOAD )  ä 69.

10.7 Return
" Caution!
Do not return a measuring device if you are not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous
substances have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated crevices or diffused through
plastic.
Costs incurred for waste disposal and injury (burns, etc.) due to inadequate cleaning will be charged
to the owner-operator.
The following steps must be taken before returning a flow measuring device to Endress+Hauser,
e.g. for repair or calibration:
• Always enclose a duly completed "Declaration of contamination" form. Only then can
Endress+Hauser transport, examine and repair a returned device.
• Enclose special handling instructions if necessary, for example a safety data sheet as per
EC REACH Regulation No. 1907/2006.
• Remove all residues. Pay special attention to the grooves for seals and crevices which could
contain residues. This is particularly important if the substance is hazardous to health, e.g.
flammable, toxic, caustic, carcinogenic, etc.

! Note!
You will find a preprinted "Declaration of contamination" form at the back of these Operating
Instructions.

Measuring ranges for gases, general

The full scale values depend on the density of the gas.
Use the formula below to calculate the full scale values:
gmax(G) = gmax(F)  (G) : x [kg/m (lb/ft)]
gmax(G) = Max. full scale value for gas [kg/h (lb/min)]
gmax(F) = Max. full scale value for liquid [kg/h (lb/min)]
(G) = Gas density in [kg/m (lb/ft)] for process conditions
Here, gmax(G) can never be greater than gmax(F)

• Measuring range (liquid): 70000 kg/h
• x = 90 (for Promass F DN 50)
Max. possible full scale value:
gmax(G) = gmax(F) · (G) ÷ x [kg/m³] = 70000 kg/h · 60.3 kg/m³ ÷ 90 kg/m³ = 46900 kg/h

Pressure loss (US units) Pressure loss is dependent on the fluid properties and nominal diameter. Consult Endress+Hauser
for Applicator PC software to determine pressure loss in US units. All important instrument data is
contained in the Applicator software program in order to optimize the design of the measuring
system.
The software is used for the following calculations:
• Nominal diameter of the sensor with fluid characteristics such as viscosity, density, etc.
• Pressure loss downstream of the measuring point.
• Converting mass flow to volume flow, etc.
• Simultaneous display of various meter sizes.
• Determining measuring ranges.
The Applicator runs on any IBM-compatible PC with Windows.

Measuring instrument The flowmeter is a suitable component for quantity measurement in legal metrology controlled
approval measuring systems in accordance with Annex MI-005 of the European Measuring Instruments
Directive 2004/22/EC (MID). It is qualified to OIML R117-1 and has an MID Evaluation
Certificate 1) which confirms compliance with the essential requirements of the Measuring
Instruments Directive.

! Note!
According to the Measuring Instruments Directive, however, only the complete measuring system
(e.g. gasoline pump) is licensable, covered by an EC-type examination certificate and bears the
conformity marking.

Pressure measuring device The measuring devices can be ordered with or without PED (Pressure Equipment Directive). If a
approval device with PED is required, this must be ordered explicitly. For devices with nominal diameters
less than or equal to DN 25 (1"), this is neither possible nor necessary.
• With the identification PED/G1/III on the sensor nameplate, Endress+Hauser confirms
conformity with the "Basic safety requirements" of Appendix I of the Pressure Equipment
Directive 97/23/EC.
• Devices with this identification (with PED) are suitable for the following types of fluid:
– Fluids of Group 1 and 2 with a steam pressure of greater or less than 0.5 bar (7.3 psi)
– Unstable gases
• Devices without this identification (without PED) are designed and manufactured according to
good engineering practice. They correspond to the requirements of Art. 3, Section 3 of the
Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC. Their application is illustrated in Diagrams 6 to 9 in
Appendix II of the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.

Modbus RS485 The measuring device meets all the requirements of the Modbus/TCP conformity and integration
test and holds the "Modbus/TCP Conformance Test Policy, Version 2.0". The measuring device has
successfully passed all the test procedures carried out and is certified by the "Modbus/TCP
Conformance Test Laboratory" of the University of Michigan.
