Transmitter Variables
RFT9739 outputs
The RFT9739 has two milliamp outputs, a frequency/pulse output, a
control output, fault indicators, and a slug duration.
• Primary and secondary milliamp outputs can produce a 0-20 or
4-20 mA current. Milliamp outputs can independently indicate mass
flow, volume flow, density, temperature, differential pressure,
viscosity, event 1 status or event 2 status.
• The frequency/pulse output can indicate mass flow rate, mass flow
total, volume flow rate, or volume flow total.
• The 0/15 V control output can indicate forward or reverse flow;
transmitter zeroing in progress; any fault indication; event 1 status or
event 2 status.
• Outputs can produce upscale or downscale fault indicators. Most
RFT9739 can also produce internal zero or last measured value fault
indicators.
• The slug duration is a set period of time during which flow outputs
hold their last measured value after density goes outside a slug flow
limit.
Assigning a process event to an RFT9739 output changes the function
of the output, and changes the procedure for configuring the output. To
assign an event to an output, see
Chapter 12
.
IFT9701/IFT9703 outputs
The IFT9701 and the IFT9703 have a 4-20 mA output and a pulse
output:
• The milliamp output can indicate mass or volume flow rate.
• The pulse output can indicate mass or volume flow rate.
RFT9712/RFT9729 outputs
The RFT9712 and RFT9729 have a 4-20 mA output, a frequency/pulse
output, and a flow direction output:
• The milliamp output can indicate flow, density, or temperature.
• The frequency/pulse output can indicate mass flow rate or volume
flow rate.
• The 0/15 V flow direction output can indicate forward or reverse flow.
10.2 Frequency/pulse output
The frequency/pulse output goes to any frequency-based totalizer or
flow computer.
The output requires frequency/flow rate scaling when indicating flow
rate, or number of pulses per flow total when indicating the flow total.
The K-factor indicates the number of pulses per unit of flow. Regardless
of the scaling, the frequency is always proportional to the flow rate.
For the RFT9739:
• The pulse width is programmable for low frequencies.
• A process variable (mass or volume) can be assigned to the
frequency/pulse output. The frequency or number of pulses is always
proportional to a flow rate, regardless of the assigned process
variable. The output for each variable is described in
Table 10-1
