close by when the device is installed.

Because the device contains terminals which it is dangerous to touch, the device
may only be installed in closed operations room, housings and cabinets to which
only qualified personnel has access.

This device is to be installed within a closed housing which, in regard to its

mechanical strength, conforms with the requirements of DIN EN 61010-1 or
another production safety standard for electrical devices. Operation of this device
is not permitted outside of an enclosure such as a switching cabinet or junction
box for example.

Only appropriately qualified personnel may work on or in the vicinity of this

device.

This personnel must be completely familiar with these operating instructions.

Devices with intrinsically safe type of protection lose their license when they are
operated on other circuits than those specified by the EC type examination
certificate (to be noted especially in chapter 6, page 125).

The perfect and safe operation of this equipment is conditional upon proper trans-
port, proper storage, installation and assembly as well as on careful operation
and commissioning.

The device may not be operated with the housing open.

The equipment may only be used for the purposes specified in this instruction
manual.

All modifications to the device which are not explicitly allowed require the express
approval of the manufacturer.

CAUTION

Modules which are sensitive to electrostatic charge may be destroyed by voltages

which are far below the human level of perception. These voltages occur already
when you touch a component or electrical connections of a module without first
discharging yourself electrostatically. The damage incurred by a module as a
result of an overvoltage is not usually immediately perceptible but only becomes
noticeable after a long time in operation.

1 Technical Description

1.1 Application Range

The SITRANS TW 4-wire mounting rail device is a transmitter with universal input
circuit for connecting to the following sensors and signal sources.

• Resistance thermometers
• Thermocouples
• Resistance transmitters/potentiometers
• mV transmitter
• As special version:
- V-transmitters
- Current sources

WARNING

The SITRANS TW, 4-wire mounting rail transmitter is a control stand instrument. It
may only be mounted as an integrated component outside the hazardous area.

The transmitters with ”intrinsically safe type of protection” have EC test certification
and comply with the appropriate harmonized European standards of the
CENELEC. They can be used for measuring process variables in areas where
there is a potential gas explosion hazard (zone 1, 0). Measuring of process
variables in zone 0 is only permitted if the sensors are also approved for zone 0.

The transmitter may also be used for zone 20 and 21 areas where there is a
potential dust explosion hazard. In these cases the devices which are connected
to this circuit must meet the requirements of category 1D or 2D and be certified
accordingly.

1.3.3 Function principle

The measuring signal supplied by a resistance transmitter (two, three or four-wire
circuit), voltage transmitter, current transmitter or thermocouple is converted into a
digital signal in an analog-digital converter (1, figure 5, page 86). This is evaluated in
a microcontroller (2) corrected according to the sensor characteristic and converted
into an output current (0/4 ... 20 mA) or an output voltage (0/2 ...10V) in a digital-ana-
log converter (5). The sensor characteristics and the data necessary for parameter-
ization of the transmitter are stored in a non-volatile memory (3).

AC and DC voltages can be used as a power supply (f). A bridge rectifier in the power
supply unit allows the power supply to be connected without paying attention to the
polarity. The device must be connected to a PE conductor for safety reasons.

The HART modem or a HART communicator enables parameterization of the

transmitter by a protocol according to the HART specification. The transmitter can be
parameterized directly at the measuring point by the HART output terminals (c).

The operating display (4) signals the undisturbed or disturbed operating state of the
transmitter. A message relay (7) enables signaling of sensor errors and / or dropping
below or exceeding of the limit value. The 0/4 ... 20 mA current can be checked with
a measuring instrument through the test jack(s) at current output.

3.1 Operating display

The green operating indicator (5, figure 2, page 83) signals the following
operatingstates:

• no power supply : operating indicator does not light

• faultless operation : operating indicator lights

• faulty operation : operating indicator flashes

− Diagnostic alarm:

→ sensor error : flashing frequency = 1Hz (priority 1)

→ hardware- / firmware error : flashing frequency = 1Hz (priority 1)
− Diagnostic warning

→ limit value exceeded /

dropped below : flashing frequency = 5Hz (priority 2)
→ output saturation warning : flashing frequency = 1Hz (priority 3)
→ measured value outside
sensor limits : flashing frequency = 1Hz (priority 4)

If several errors occur simultaneously, flashing follows the given order of priority
(priority 1 = highest priority)

3.2 test jack for output signal

• The test socket (6, figure 2, page 83) is used to check the 0/4 ... 20 mA current
with a measuring instrument at current output. The connection is made by 2 mm
test jack plugs. The voltage drop at the ammeter may not exceed 0.3V at 23 mA
output current.
• The test jack has no function for voltage output.
• If the analog output is in the current output 0 ... 20 mA mode or current output
0 ... 10V mode, the test jack must be bridged at 0 mA or at 0V for correct HART
communication. A suitable short-circuit connector can be ordered as an acces-
sory as follows:
− Add the suffix S01 to the order number of the SITRANS TW or
− order as accessory with order number 7NG3092-8AP

3.6 External reference point compensation with reference

point terminal 7NG3092-8AV

3.6.1 Application and use

This serves as a reference point terminal in devices with the order designation
7NG3242-****0 in the thermocouple measuring mode with external reference point
compensation.

The basic accuracy of the reference point terminal is 0.5 °C (PT100 DIN IEC 751,
limit class B).

For applications with reduced accuracy requirements of the reference point

measurement (≤ 3 °C) the internal reference point compensation of the device
can also be used.

WARNING

In devices with "intrinsically safe" type of protection, make sure that the reference
point teminal 7NG3092-8AV and the input plug are mounted firmly in the blue
cable housing enclosed ex-factory before putting the devices into operation.

3.6.2 Connection and wiring

The reference point terminal and the thermocouple must be mounted on the input
plug (terminal 1-4) of the SITRANS TW as shown in figure 8.

The wiring of terminals 3 and 4 (chapter 6.4.2, page 130) in the circuit type
thermocouple with external thermocouple with external compensation is omitted. It is
already implemented in the reference point terminal.

3.7.1 Application and use

It serves in devices with the ordering designation 7NG3242-0***0 as a measuring
set for:

• voltage measurement in the measuring range: -1.2 to 10 V DC or

• current measurement in the measuring range: -12 to 100 mA DC

The basic accuracy of the U/I input plug is: 0,1 %.

The minimum span is for:

• voltage measurement (measuring range -1.2 to 10 V): 0.05 V

3.7.4 Software parameterization

The following order must be observed for the parameterization of the plug:

1. HART-Communicator
− Selection sensor class = mV transmitter
− Selection sensor type = -120 to 1000 mV
− Input of following special characteristic pairs:

Measuring range Value pairs

-1.2 to 10 V X1 = -109.4891 mV Y1 = -1.2000 V
X2 = 912. 4088 mV Y2 = 10.0000 V
-12 to 100 mA X1 = -120 mV Y1 = -12 mA
X2 = 1000 mV Y2 = 100 mA

− Selection type of linearization = special characteristic

2. SIMATIC PDM
− Selection sensor class = mV transmitter
− Selection sensor type:

Measuring range Sensor type

-1.2 to 10 V -1.2 to 10 V (with U/I plug (7NG3092-8AW)
-12 to 100 mA -12 to 100 mA (with U/I plug 7NG3092-8AW)

− The corresponding special characteristic pairs and the type of linearization are
set automatically by SIMATIC PDM.

3. If the U/I input plug is o be used in connection with another (“customer-specific”)

special characteristic, the voltage divider R1, R2 or the current shunt R3 of the
U/I input plug must be taken into account in the characteristic input (see circuit
diagram figure 10).

4. In voltage measurement (measuring range –1.2 to 10 V), all input signals Xi must
be multiplied with the voltage divider:
R2 100 kW
R = = = 0,09124087
T R1+R2 996 kW + 100 kW

The characteristic input values XSKL,i must be specified in the unit mV.

Example: (V-signal corresponds to the physical oxygen content [%O2])

Sensor signal Linearized signal
Xi -> XSKL,i (input values) YSKL,i (input values)
X1: 1 V -> XSKL,1: 91.2409 mV YSKL,1: 3**
X2: 7 V -> XSKL,2: 638.6861 mV YSKL,2: 21**
Xn: 8 V -> XSKL,n: 729.9270 mV YSKL,n: 35**
The input values XSKL,i must be entered in the ** corresponds to [%O2]
unit mV.

(XSKL,1 = X1 x RT = 1 V x 0.09124087 = 0.09124087 V = 91.2409 mV)

SITRANS TW
A5E00054075-04 97
Hardware functions

5. In current measurement (measuring range -12 to 100 mA), all input signals Xi
must be multiplied with the current shunt RS = R3 = 10 Ω. The characteristic input
values XSKL,i must be specified in the unit mV.

Example: (mA signal corresponds to physical height [m])

Sensor signal Linearized signal
Xi -> XSKL,i (input values) YSKL,i (input values)
X1: 10 mA -> XSKL,1: 100 mV YSKL,1: 1**
X2: 70 mA -> XSKL,2: 700 mV YSKL,2: 5**
Xn: 80 mA -> XSKL,n: 800 mV YSKL,n: 7**
The input values XSKL,i must be entered in the ** corresponds to [m]
unit mV.

(XSKL,1 = X1 x RS = 10 mA x 10 Ω = 10 mA x 10 V/A = 100 mV)


NOTE

A special characteristic is used device-internally when the U/I input plug is used.
This overwrites an existing special characteristic in the device.

When operating the device with SIMATIC PDM, the PDM-Device Description Rev. 2
of SITRANS TW is required. (SIMATIC PDM 5.2 already contains the PDM-DD
Rev. 2. An update for SIMATIC PDM 5.1 is available under

4.2 Parameterizable functions

4.2.1 Line break monitoring and short-circuit testing

A measuring channel-related line break monitoring can be carried out for resistance
thermometers, resistance transmitters, thermocouples and mV transmitters. Line
break testing is not possible in devices for measuring current or voltages > 1V
(device order designation 7NG3242-xxxx[1-8]). If there is a line break, no reference
temperature of the internal sensor (electronic temperature) can be determined.

A measuring channel-related short-circuit monitoring is only possible in resistance

thermometers and resistance transmitters. The threshold value for the short-circuit
test is freely parameterizable within the measuring limits.

4.2.2 Adjusting line resistances

It is possible to adjust line resistances for the following measurements:

• Resistance thermometer or resistance transmitter in two-wire circuit

• Resistance thermometer or resistance transmitter for forming difference or
average value
• Thermocouple with external reference point with Pt100 in two-wire circuit
Adjustment takes place by numeric specification of the measured line resistance
(sum of supply and return conductor) or by measuring directly with the operating
software.

4.2.3 Measuring line resistances

Depending on the interface module (see chapter 6.4, page 129) line resistances can
be measured on the measuring channel 1, measuring channel 2 or the line resist-
ance to the external resistance thermometer (as a reference point to a thermocou-
ple). To do this, the appropriate measuring channels must be short-circuited and the
line resistance measuring parameters activated.

The measured resistance values are stored in the parameters for the line
compensation.

4.2.4 Measured value offset

For application in which the process variable to be measured cannot be measured
directly at the measuring point, a measuring channel-related offset behavior can be
parameterized.

4.2.5 Scaling factor

The scaling factor serves for characteristic adaptation in series or parallel circuiting
of resistance thermometers and thermocouples. It should be multiplied by their basic

SITRANS TW
A5E00054075-04 101
Functions / Operation by HART

series. Values of 0.1 to 10.0 for resistance thermometers as well as values from 1 to
10 for thermocouples can be set for the scaling factor.

Example: 3 x Pt500 parallel: Scaling factor = 5/3 = 1.67 (basis is Pt100)

4.2.6 Reference selection for measuring by means of a thermocouple

The connection type of the resistance thermometer for reference point measurement
for thermocouples can be selected. Use of the built-in Pt100 or an external Pt100
which is necessary when the measuring point is remote from the SITRANS T3K PA.
An external reference point terminal is available as an accessory under order number
7NG3092-8AV. Information about using and connecting the reference point terminal
on the SITRANS TW can be found in chapter 3.6, page 94.

4.2.7 Difference circuit / average value circuit

The difference and average value circuit connection have the following special
features in comparison with the other connections (standard, sum, parallel):

Set start of scale and full scale

• First enter the start of scale and full scale for the two single sensors. The start of
scale and full scale are identical for both sensors. Different measuring ranges
cannot be parameterized for the single sensors.
• Then the start of scale and full scale for the difference or average value must be
parameterized.

Sensor trimming
• The sensor trim is performed at the respective range limits of the two single
sensors. The parameterized difference or the parameterized average value
cannot be trimmed.

4.2.8 Mains frequency filter / measuring frequency

An interference suppression of the mains frequencies of 50Hz or 60Hz can be set
with this filter. 10 Hz can also be selected as a special function. The selected mains
frequency filter is equivalent to the measuring frequency used. If the 10 Hz mains
frequency is used, greater accuracy at the cost of lower measuring speed is possible.

4.2.9 Electric damping

The filter time constant of the electric damping can be set in the range from 0 to
100 s.

4.2.10 Current transmitter / voltage transmitter

The transmitter can be switched to constant current or constant voltage operation for
test purposes. In this case the output current or output voltage no longer correspond
to the process variable.

4.2.11 Alarm current / alarm voltage

With this function the value of the lower and upper alarm current or the lower and
upper alarm voltage can be set. Both signal a sensor error or a hardware / firmware
error.

The value of the upper and lower alarm current / alarm voltage and the upper and
lower limit of the linear modulation range are freely selectable within the given limits
of the current modulation range / voltage modulation range. Figure 11, page 103
shows this by an example of the 4 ... 20mA current output.

The specified accuracy of the output signal only applies for the respective rated
ranges.

4.2.12 Sensor adjustment

With the sensor adjustment it is possible to set the characteristic of the sensor at two
adjustment points. The results are then correct measured values at the adjustment
points. The error percentage on the basis of the characteristic can be reduced by
adjusting the sensor.

4.2.12.1 Trimming the lower sensor adjustment point

The process variable (e.g. temperature or resistance) at which the lower sensor-
adjustment is made, is applied to the transmitter input. With SIMATIC PDM or the
HART Communicator you instruct the transmitter to accept this process value. This
represents an offset shift of the characteristic (B, figure 12, page 104).

4.2.12.2 Trimming the upper sensor adjustment point

The process variable (e.g. temperature or resistance) at which the upper sensor
adjustment is made, is applied to the transmitter input. With SIMATIC PDM or the
HART Communicator you instruct the transmitter to accept this process value. This
makes a slope correction to the characteristic (C, figure 12). The lower sensor adjust-
ment point is not affected.

NOTE

− The sensor adjustment is reset automatically after every parameterization of the

sensor type.
− In the difference or average forming type of circuit (chapter 6.4, page 129) the
sensor adjustment can be made for measuring channel 1 and for measuring
channel 2.

4.2.13 Current transmitter adjustment / Voltage transmitter adjustment

The current output by the transmitter or the voltage output by the transmitter can be
adjusted independently of the process circuit. This function is suitable for compen-
sating inaccuracies in the operating sequence following the transmitter. The adjust-
ment is only possible at 0/4 ... 20 mA or at 0/2 ... 10 V. Figure 13, page 106 shows
the adjustment principle by an example of the 4 ... 20 mA current output.

Application example: Adjustment of the 4 ... 20 mA current output

The current should be measured as a voltage drop of 1 V to 5 V on a resistance of

250Ω ± 5 %. To compensate the tolerance of the resistance, set the current trans-
mitter so that the voltage drop at 4mA is exactly 1V and at 20mA exactly 5 V.

ATTENTION

A multimeter which is used must have a higher class accuracy than the
transmitter.

1. Adjustment at 4 mA:

Under menu item D/A adjustment you instruct the transmitter to output 4mA. You
read the measured value on the voltmeter, calculate the current value from it and
enter this, for example, via the SIMATIC PDM. The transmitter uses this value for
current offset correction.

2. Adjustment at 20 mA:

Under menu item D/A adjustment you instruct the transmitter to output 20mA. You
read the measured value on the voltmeter, calculate the current value from it and
enter this, for example, via the SIMATIC PDM. The transmitter uses this value for
current slope correction. The value for 4 mA is not changed.

Scaled D/A adjustment:

This transmitter offers the additional option of a scaled adjustment of the analog
output.

Scaled under menu item DA adjustment the values read by the measuring instrument
can be entered directly in SIMATIC PDM or in the HART communicator after entering
the customerspecific scaling (for the example above it applies: lower scaled
adjustmentpoint = 1V, upper scaled adjustment point = 5 V).

4.2.14 Special characteristic

The SITRANS TW offers the option of connecting a large number of sensors to the
device for which a valid sensor characteristic is already stored in the device.

However, there are applications of sensors (e.g. Cu100) for which this device does
not offer correction of a non-linear sensor characteristic as a standard function.
However, in this case it is possible to store a customer-specific special characteristic
in the device.

For the customer-specific characteristic correction, the device requires the value
pairs (X-values, Y-values). These value pairs form vertex points between which the
desired output characteristic is generated by linear interpolation from an input char-
acteristic. The number of vertex points depends here on the parameterization soft-
ware used.

Figure 14 Principle of customer-specific characteristic correction

The following notes must be observed for the parameterization of the customer-
specific special characteristic:

• General:
− The number of value pairs must be determined before starting the
characteristic input.
− The X values must increase or decrease monotonously in the characteristic
input.
− The special characteristic linearization type may only be activated when a
valid special characteristic is stored in the device.
− If the type of linearization is set to special characteristic, the default character-
istic unit is ‘**’ in resistance, current and voltage measurement. The default
setting can be changed but the measured values are still displayed with the
default characteristic unit ‘**’.
• Characteristic input by HART communicator:
− If the characteristic has already been input by SIMATIC PDM and more than
20 value pairs entered, only the first 20 value pairs can be read from the device
with the HART communicator.
− If a special characteristic is to be entered during the offline parameterization,
all device variables must be activated to “Send” in the menu item “1 Select all”
before beginning offline parameterization (menu item “3 Individual process-
ing”).

4.2.15 Factory calibration

It is possible to reset the transmitter to its exfactorystate. You can select the scope
of the recoverable parameters in a menu with SIMATIC PDM or the HART
communicator in five steps:

1. Resetting the factory basic data except for the following parameters:
→ customer-specific sensor adjustment
→ customer-specific adjustment of the analog output
→ customer-specific alarm settings
→ customer-specific settings for the sensor error / limit value alarm

2. resetting the customer-specific sensor adjustment

3. resetting the customer-specific adjustment of the analog output
4. resetting the customer-specific alarm settings with the following parameters:
→ alarm type of the analog output
→ lower and upper alarm value of the analog output
→ lower and upper output limit of the analog output

5. resetting the customer-specific settings for the sensor error / limit value alarm
with the following parameters:
→ lower and upper limit value limit
→ Hysteresis
→ switching delay
→ limit value alarm mode
→ alarm activation

4.2.16 Diagnostic functions

Communication with a HART interface enables numerous diagnostic functions to be
activated and evaluated.

The diagnostic concept of the SITRANS TW is such that a diagnostic warning can be
parameterized for diagnostic functions for monitoring limit values and a diagnostic
alarm for diagnostic functions for monitoring error states. The diagnostic warning and
diagnostic alarm can be output by:

→ HART communication
→ Analog output
→ message relay
→ Operating display (LED)

• Diagnostic warning The device transmits the diagnostic event that has
occurred via HART. The analog output value remains unchanged. A warning via
the built-in message relay (sensor error / limit value alarm) can be parameter-
ized.

SITRANS TW

 Functions / Operation by HART

• Diagnostic alarm: The device goes into the alarm current / alarm voltage state.
The diagnostic event is provided additionally via HART. The output via the
message relay is parameterizable.

Table 1 gives a list of all parameterizable diagnostic functions. The standard setting
for all warnings and alarms is off. The diagnostic warning and diagnostic alarm must
be parameterized with the HART communicator or with SIMATIC PDM. If several
errors occur simultaneously, the given priorities apply (priority 1 = highest priority)

A5E00054075-04 109
Functions / Operation by HART

4.2.16.1 Message relay

The message relay can monitor different limit values and error states with simple limit
value components. The components are switched on or off in SIMATIC PDM or in
the HART communicator in the Limit value mode menu item. The following limit value
components can be parameterized in all combinations.

a) Sensor error detection (break and / or short-circuit)

b) Monitoring of hardware and firmware errors
c) Monitoring of lower limit value
d) Monitoring of upper limit value
e) Monitoring of analog output for saturation

A switching delay tv of the message relay can be parameterized for parameterization

of the limit value components. Exceeding / dropping below a limit value causes a
delay until the alarm is triggered. There is no switching delay if the limit value is
dropped below of / exceeded again. The switching delay helps to achieve suppres-
sion of brief exceeding / dropping below of limit values. A stable message behavior
can be achieved in the event of fluctuations around the limit value by a hysteresis
which is also parameterizable. Figure 15, page 111 shows examples of a limit value
monitoring.

The message relay can be parameterized in the idle current principle and open circuit
principle states (see also chapter 6.3, page 126). When operating with the HART
communicator, the “Relay closes” parameter must be set as follows:

• with idle current principle “ON”

• with open circuit principle “OFF”

4.2.16.2 Operating hours counter

An electronic operating hours counter can be read out via HART (PDM or Commu-
nicator). The counter is activated the first time the transmitter is started. If the device
is disconnected from its power supply the counter reading is stored automatically in
the non-volatile memory. It can therefore access the latest counter reading the next
time it is restarted. The operating hours counter cannot be reset.

4.2.16.3 Slave pointer

This device offers four pairs of slave pointers altogether with which the following
measuring variables and positive peak values can be monitored:

• Slave pointer pair for primary measured value (e.g. temperature difference T1-
T2 in two resistance thermometers in difference circuit)
• Slave pointer pair for secondary measured value (e.g. temperature of measuring
channel 1 in two resistance thermometers in difference circuit)
• Slave pointer pair for tertiary measured value (e.g. temperature of measuring
channel 2 for two resistance thermometers in difference circuit)
• Slave pointer pair for electronics temperature

SITRANS TW
A5E00054075-04 111
Functions / Operation by HART

Per measured value a resettable slave pointer saves the maximum and minimum
peak values long-term in the non-volatile memory The values are then reavailable
after restarting the device. The slave pointers are also updated during the simulation
(see chapter 4.2.18, page 113). Figure 16, page 112 shows the principle of a slave
pointer curve.

Resetting of the slave pointer takes place:

• automatically after another sensor type has been parameterized
• at the user’s request

ATTENTION

After reparameterization of the type of connection and completion of the

installation work, the customer must reset the slave pointers.

4.2.17 Test functions

The SITRANS TW offers the following test functions for testing the hardware and
firmware:

• Resetting the SITRANS TW electronics:

Resetting the SITRANS TW electronics causes a RESET of the microcontroller
which is comparable with switching the power supply off and back on.
• Self test:
The microcontroller executes extensive hardware and firmware diagnostic
routines.

4.2.18 Simulation
With the diagnostic function “Simulation”, (quasi) measured data can be received
and processed without a process value being applied to the device. You can
therefore run individual processes “cold” and thus simulate process states. In
addition, the cables for the analog output and the message relay can be tested by
applying simulation values.

The value to be simulated can be preset as a fixed value or in the form of a ramp
function. The following simulations for measuring input and analog output are
possible:

Measuring input:
• Fixed value simulation or ramp simulation for primary process variable
• Fixed value simulation or ramp simulation for electronics temperature

Measuring output:
• Fixed value simulation of the analog output

The simulation of primary process variable, electronics temperature and analog

output is handled identically in parameterization and function so that only the general
simulation methods “fixed value” and “ramp function” are explained below using the
measuring input as an example.

For security reasons all the simulation data are only kept in the RAM. This means
any simulation is switched off when the device is restarted.

4.2.18.1 General information

• As long as the simulation is switched on, the transmitter does not react to sensor
input signals.
• No simulation is possible in difference or average circuit.
• If thermocouples are simulated, a fixed reference point temperature of 0°C is
used for the simulation.
• Simulation of the electronics temperature has no influence on the analog output.
It can only be observed through the HART communication interface.

4.2.18.2 Simulation of measuring input

Simulation as a fixed value

Under consideration of the physical unit, fixed simulation values can be parameter-
ized for both simulation lines (primary measured value and electronics temperature).
The analog output value is set according to the value defaulted for the primary meas-
ured value.

Simulation with a periodic ramp function

In addition to the adjustable fixed values a periodically recurring ramp function can
also be parameterized for both simulation paths. A settable start and end value
determines the respective limits between which the simulation values move with a

rising and falling tendency. The step width can also be calculated with the settable
number of steps.

end value – start value

Step width =
Number of steps

The time between two consecutive simulation values is determined by the step
duration.

In the simulation for the primary measured value, the analog output follows the
simulated values.

4.2.19 Parameterization behavior

4.2.19.1 “Offline parameterization”

It is possible to parameterize the device with SIMATIC PDM or the HART
communicator without a device being connected to the operating software. With this
type of parameterization (”offline parameterization”) device-independent data can be
created, saved and stored in individual devices. The following instructions must be
observed for the “offline parameterization”.

• When sending the data records to the connected device, make sure that these
meet all hardware requirements. (e.g. Is there a limit value alarm in the device?
Is the device suitable for measuring currents?). Failure to observe this could lead
to parameterization errors.
• This device allows “offline configuration” of all device parameters except the
linearization type parameter. The linearization type can only be parametrized
“online”. However, for the linearization type the device firmware sets a standard
value after receiving the “offline” parameterization datarecord. This restriction
does not apply when operating the device with SIMATIC PDM. However, the
PDM-Device Description Rev. 2 is required. (SIMATIC PDM 5.2 already contains
the PDM-DD Rev. 2. An update for SIMATIC PDM 5.1 is available under
www.siemens.com/sitranst) (-> Process Device Manager / -> Downloads).)

4.2.19.2 “Cloning”
If several transmitters with the same parameterization data are to be installed,
“device cloning” is a simple way of cutting down on setting work.

The following procedure is recommended for “device cloning”.

1. Parameterization of the reference transmitter according to the desired measuring

task.
2. Reading out and possibly editing and saving the data record by the reference
transmitter
3. Sending the reference data record to other transmitters

− If a special characteristic was entered before reading out the reference data
record, the HART Communi cator must be switched off and back on before
sending the data record to other devices.

4.3 Tips for HART communicator operation

4.3.1 Hotkey
Using the hotkey F7 of the HART communicator you can switch to a customer-
specific hand-held menu. This enables frequently used functions to be combined in
one menu group. This menu already contains the “Set zero / span” function as a
standard. Other menu items can be added as you wish.

A detailed description of the hotkey can be found in the HART communicator docu-
mentation.

 Installation and commissioning

6 Installation and commissioning

6.1 Assembly

The installation location must be easily accessible and free from vibration. The
permissible ambient temperatures (see Chapter 5, page 117 for further information)
may not be exceeded. Protect the transmitter from heat radiation, rapid temperature
fluctuations, heavy soiling and mechanical damage.

The desired operating data must be compared with the values specified on the
device’s rating plate before installation.

The housing may only be opened to alter the hardware settings.

A distance of about 5 mm away from adjacent devices is recommended for better

heat dissipation.

If more than one device is running in a cabinet read the notes and recommendations
indicated on page 119 in the footnotes.

WARNING
It is not permitted to modify or add to the devices!

6.2 Installation and removal

The transmitter can be fixed either to a 35 mm DIN rail (DIN EN 5022) or a 32 mm

G-rail (DIN EN 50035). The device is removed from the rail as shown in (figure 3,
page 84). The fastening element for the transmitter (DIN rail adapter) is removable
(3, figure 3). After pressing the catch (4, figure 3) the fastening element can be
pushed sideways out of its guide. It can be pushed into either the top or bottom guide
on the housing. The release catch (5, figure 3) must be at the bottom or top edge of
the housing.

The transmitter may only be installed in closed operation rooms, housings and
cabinets.

Field housings or switch cabinets must be used to install transmitters in the field. The
size, type of protection and material must be adapted to the respective requirements.

The ambient conditions specified in the technical data (Chapter 5, page 117) must
be observed.

Installation and commissioning

6.3 Electrical connection

WARNING

The specifications of the examination certificate valid in your country must be

observed.
Laws and regulations valid in your country must be observed for the electrical
installation in explosion hazardous areas. In Germany these are for example:
- Working reliability
- Regulations for installing electrical equipment in hazardous areas DIN EN
60079-14.
A distance of 50 mm must be kept between the connections of the intrinsically
safe circuit and the non intrinsicallysafe connections by isolated assembly or
partitions (use the supplied blue cable housing for input plug).

The potential of the input circuit related to the PE conductor must be limited to
50V if the device is supplied from the mains.

A PE conductor must be connected to the device. The following points should be

considered in the electrical installation of the PE conductor:
- The PE conductor terminal may be a potential source of danger if not installed
properly.
The specifications of the EC test certificate must be observed when connecting
sensors, leads and devices for use in Ex areas. The specifications regarding
permissible external capacitances, inductances and the permissible values for
Um*) must be observed in particular.

*) Um is the maximum voltage (AC or DC) which, according to EN 50020, may be applied to non-
intrinsically safe connecting parts without affecting the intrinsic safety.

• The electrical connection (1-4, figure 2, page 83) is made by four removable
screw-type connectors. The maximum cable cross section is 2.5mm². The wires
may not be stripped more than 10 mm. Solid wire or strands with end ferrules
must be used.
• Cables carrying dangerous voltages and cables carrying safe voltages must be
laid separately or doubly insulated.
• The pin assignment for input, outputs and power supply is shown in figure 19,
page 127. The different versions for the input wiring of the sensor are shown in
Chapter 6.4, page 129.
• In devices with “intrinsically safe” type of protection, the blue cable housing must
be mounted tight on the input plug on completing installation as a strain relief for
the input cables.
• There is no need to pay attention to polarity when connecting the power supply
to terminals 13 and 14. The device is reverse polarity protected.
• Terminal 12 must be connected to the PE conductor for safety reasons.
• The power supply plug (terminal 12 to 14) may never be plugged in or removed
when the power is switched on. The device must be protected by a mains switch
close by which is appropriately labeled.

SITRANS TW
126 A5E00054075-04
 Installation and commissioning

• All screw-type connectors are mechanically coded at the factory to prevent

confusing them (figure 20, page 128). The connector coding also ensures:
− Input circuit: Incorrect connection of screw-type connectors for Ex circuits
and non-Ex circuits is prevented.
− Power supply: Incorrect connection of screw-type connectors to a power
supply not suitable for the device is prevented.
• The specified data for the electrical connection (Chapter 5, page 117) must be
observed.

WARNING

In devices with “intrinsically safe” type of protection, make sure the blue cable
housing delivered ex-factory is firmly mounted on the input plug before
commissioning the devices.


NOTE

It applies generally for laying connecting cables and signals names for EMC
reasons:

- Lay signal cables separately from cables with voltages of > 60V
- Use cables with twisted wires
- Avoid the vicinity of large electrical installations or use screened cables

6.4 Sensor input wiring

6.5 Commissioning

The software operating data of the transmitter must be set to meet the requirements
of the current measuring job and must correspond to specifications on the software
rating plate. If the software operating data do not match the data on the software
rating plate, the rating plate must be corrected or replaced by a new one (Chapter
3.5.2, page 92).

The hardware operating data must also match the data on the hardware rating plate.
If changes are made to the hardware parameterization (switching over from current
to voltage or vice versa), the current state on the hardware rating plate must be
documented (see Chapter 3.5.3, page 92).

SITRANS TW
A5E00054075-04 131
Installation and commissioning

The transmitter is in operation after approx. 5 seconds when the power supply is
switched on.

WARNING

– The following applies for devices with “intrinsically safe” type of protection:
Only intrinsically safe circuits can be connected to the transmitter input.
– The “intrinsically safe” protection type is no longer effective in the case of
improper feeding (see also warnings on page 126).

6.6 As-delivered state of the operating data

The basic operating data and the specifications for hardware options are on a
permanently attached hardware rating plate (7a, figure 2, page 83) under the
replaceable software rating plate (7, figure 2, page 83).

The as-delivered state of the rating plate with the software operating data (7, figure 2,
page 83) depends on whether standard devices or customized devices are ordered.
The transmitter is delivered as follows depending on the order:

6.6.1 Operating data according to ex-factory basic setting

(standard device)
Operating data deviating from the presetting must be adapted to the respective
measuring job by the customer before commissioning the transmitter.

A replaceable blank rating plate (7, figure 2, page 83) is used for manual entry of the
entered operating data or can be replaced by one the user has printed.

6.6.2 Factory set customer-specific operating data

The device is ready for operation for the respective measuring job after installation
and electrical connection The set operating data are documented on the software
ratingplate (7, figure 2, page 83).
