Technical data (Page 163)
WARNING
Loss of safety of device with type of protection "Intrinsic safety Ex i"
If the device or its components have already been operated in non-intrinsically safe circuits or
the electrical specifications have not been observed, the safety of the device is no longer
ensured for use in hazardous areas. There is a risk of explosion.
• Connect the device with type of protection "Intrinsic safety" solely to an intrinsically safe
circuit.
• Observe the specifications for the electrical data on the certificate and/or in Technical data
(Page 163).
WARNING
Use of incorrect device parts in potentially explosive environments
Devices and their associated device parts are either approved for different types of protection
or they do not have explosion protection. There is a risk of explosion if device parts (such as
covers) are used for devices with explosion protection that are not expressly suited for this type
of protection. If you do not adhere to these guidelines, the test certificates and the
manufacturer warranty will become null and void.
• Use only device parts that have been approved for the respective type of protection in the
potentially explosive environment. Covers that are not suited for the "explosion-proof" type
of protection are identified as such by a notice label attached to the inside of the cover with
"Not Ex d Not SIL".
• Do not swap device parts unless the manufacturer specifically ensures compatibility of
these parts.
WARNING
Use of the device with intrinsic safety "Ex i" type of protection in a polluted environment.
If you open the device on the display side, there is a risk of pollution. The safety of the device
for use in hazardous areas is therefore no longer guaranteed. There is a danger of explosion.
• Ensure that the environment is clean before rotating or replacing the display.
WARNING
Incorrect material for the diaphragm in Zone 0
Risk of explosion in the hazardous area. If operated with intrinsically safe supply devices of
category "ib" or devices of the flameproof enclosure version "Ex d" and simultaneous use in
Zone 0, pressure transmitter explosion protection depends on the tightness of the diaphragm.
• Ensure that the material used for the diaphragm is suitable for the process medium. Refer
to the information in the section "Technical data (Page 163)".
Gauge pressure
This version measures aggressive, non-aggressive and hazardous gases, vapors and liquids.
There are two series: a "differential pressure" series and a "gauge pressure" series. The
"differential pressure" series is distinguished by a high overload capability.
Level
This version with mounting flange measures the level of non-corrosive, corrosive and hazardous
liquids in open and closed containers.
The nominal size of the mounting flange is DN 40 to DN 125 or 1 1/2" to 5".
The negative connection of the measuring cell is kept open when measuring the level of open
containers. This measurement is referred to as "measurement against atmosphere". The
negative connection is normally connected with the container when measuring the level of
closed containers. This means the static pressure is present at both ends.
Wetted parts are made of various materials, depending on corrosion resistance requirements.
Absolute pressure
This version measures the absolute pressure of aggressive, non-aggressive and hazardous gases,
vapors and liquids.
There are two series: a "differential pressure" series and a "gauge pressure" series. The
"differential pressure" series is distinguished by a high overload capability.

④ Seal diaphragm
Figure 4-4 Function chart of measuring cell for gauge pressure
The inlet pressure (pe) is transferred to the gauge pressure sensor ⑥ via the seal diaphragm ④
and the fill fluid ⑤, displacing its measuring diaphragm. The displacement changes the
resistance of the four piezoresistors (bridge circuit) of the gauge pressure sensor. The change in
the resistance causes a bridge output voltage proportional to the inlet pressure.
Pressure transmitters with measuring span ≤ 63 bar measure the inlet pressure against
atmosphere, those with measuring spans ≥ 160 bar the inlet pressure against vacuum.

4.5.2.4 Measuring cell for absolute pressure from the gauge pressure series
SH
• The inlet pressure (pe) is transferred to the absolute pressure sensor ⑤ via the seal
diaphragm ③ and the fill fluid ④, displacing its measuring diaphragm.
• The displacement changes the resistance of the four piezoresistors (bridge circuit) of the
absolute pressure sensor.
• The change in the resistance causes a bridge output voltage proportional to the inlet

SH
• The inlet pressure (pe) is transferred to the absolute pressure sensor ⑤ via the seal
diaphragm ③ and the filling liquid ④, and displaces its measuring diaphragm.
• The displacement changes the resistance of the four piezoresistors (bridge circuit) of the
absolute pressure sensor.
• The change in the resistance causes a bridge output voltage proportional to the inlet
pressure.
4.5.2.6 Measuring cell for absolute pressure from the differential pressure series
SH
• Absolute pressure is transmitted to the absolute pressure sensor ⑤ through the seal
diaphragm ② and the filling liquid ⑦.
• When measuring limits are exceeded, the overload diaphragm ⑥ is displaced until the seal
diaphragm ② rests on the measuring cell body ④. The seal diaphragm thus protects the
absolute pressure sensor ⑤ from overload.
• The difference between the inlet pressure (pe) and the reference pressure ⑧ on the negative
side of the measuring cell displaces the seal diaphragm ②. The displacement changes the
resistance of the four piezoresistors (bridge circuit) of the absolute pressure sensor.
• The change in the resistance causes a bridge output voltage proportional to the absolute
pressure.
• Differential pressure is transmitted to the differential pressure sensor ⑨ through the seal
diaphragms ⑦ and the filling liquid ⑥.
• When measuring limits are exceeded, the seal diaphragm ⑦ is displaced until the seal
diaphragm rests on the measuring cell body ④. The differential pressure sensor ⑨ is thus
protected against overloading since no further deflection of the overload diaphragm ⑤ is
possible.
• The seal diaphragm ⑦ is displaced by the differential pressure. The displacement changes
the resistance of the four piezoresistors (bridge circuit) of the differential pressure sensor.
• The change in the resistance causes a bridge output voltage proportional to the differential
pressure.

• The input pressure (hydrostatic pressure) works hydraulically on the measuring cell through
the seal diaphragm ⑨ on the mounting flange.
• The differential pressure at the measuring cell is transmitted to the differential pressure
sensor ③ through the seal diaphragms ① and the filling liquid ⑥.
• When measuring limits are exceeded, the overload diaphragm ⑤ is displaced until one of the
seal diaphragms ⑦ or ⑩ rests on the measuring cell body ④. The seal diaphragms ⑦ thus
protect the differential pressure sensor ③ from overload.
• The seal diaphragm ⑦ is displaced by the differential pressure. The displacement changes
the resistance of the four doped piezoresistors in the bridge circuit.
• The change in the resistance causes a bridge output voltage proportional to the differential
pressure.

General information
• Keep the measuring system in the factory packing until it is installed in order to protect it from
mechanical damage.
• When removing from the factory packing and installing: ensure that damage to and
mechanical deformations in the membrane are prevented.
• Never loosen the sealed filling screws on the remote seal and the measuring instrument.
• Do not cause damage to the remote separating membrane; scratches on the remote
separating membrane, e.g. due to sharp-edged objects, are the main starting points for
corrosion.
• Select suitable gaskets for sealing.
• Use a gasket having an adequately large inner diameter for flanging. Insert the gasket
concentrically; contact with the membrane leads to deviations in measurements.
• When using gaskets made of soft materials or PTFE: follow the guidelines of the gasket
manufacturer, especially regarding the tightening torque and setting cycles.
• At the time of installation, use suitable fastening components such as screws and nuts that
are compliant with fitting and flange standards.
• Excessive tightening of screwed joints on the process connection may displace the zero point
on the pressure transmitter.
Note
Commissioning
When a shut-off valve exists, open the shut-off valve slowly when commissioning to avoid
pressure surges.
Note
Permissible ambient and operating temperatures
• Observe the minimum and maximum permissible ambient and medium temperature
limits also under the influence of convection and heat radiation.
• Note the effect of the ambient temperature on the measuring accuracy in the
section Technical data (Page 163).
• The material and the pressure rating of the fittings and flange components must be
suitable for the pressure and the temperature of your plant (or measuring arrangement).
• The pressure rating specified on the remote seal is specified to reference conditions
according to IEC 62828.
Using remote seals with pressure measuring device for hazardous areas:
• When using remote seals with pressure transmitters in hazardous areas, the permissible
ambient temperature limits for the pressure transmitter must not be exceeded. Hot surfaces
on the cooling section (capillaries or cooling elements) are a possible source of ignition.
Initiate suitable measures.
• When remote seals with a flame arrestor are used, the pressure measuring instrument
determines the permissible ambient temperature. In the case of potentially explosive
gaseous atmosphere, the temperature around the flame arrestor must not exceed +60 °C.
General information
• Do not transport the measuring assembly (pressure transmitter, flange and capillary line) by
holding the capillary line.
• Do not bend the capillary lines. Otherwise there may be a leakage risk and the set-up time of
the measuring system is increased.
• A mechanical overload at the connection points between capillary line and remote seal or
between capillary line and pressure transmitter will lead to potential bending or breaking.
• Wind capillary lines that are too long with a radius of at least 300 mm.
• Fasten the capillary line such that there are no vibrations.

measurement view: Adjust the unit so that a lower value is displayed, e.g. bar instead of
mbar.
Note
Changing the units during cyclic operation
In PROFIBUS PA, the measured value without unit is transferred immediately to the control
system during cyclic operation.
If you change the unit on the display or via the parameter assignment tool during cyclic
operation, the converted measured value without unit is transferred immediately.
• Example: When you change the unit on the display from 1 bar to 1 000 mbar, 1 000 bar is
displayed in the control system instead of 1 000 mbar.
Sets the damping (filtering) for smoothing of sudden process value variations.
The damping influences the response time of the device: When you increase the damping value,
the response time of the pressure transmitter to changes in the pressure measurement
increases.
• Reduce the damping value for faster response times. Specify a value that meets the
requirements regarding signal stability and response time.

Introduction
A series of factors, such as installation, static pressure, temperature or long-term stability, can
cause zero-point errors.
For special applications (e.g. level measurement for a closed vessel), you have the option of
shifting the zero point to a desired pressure value using the "Zero point adjustment" parameter.
You proceed differently depending on the device version.
Requirement
The pressure measurement is stable.
Procedure
1. Vent the pressure connection of the device.
2. Navigate to the parameter view.
Navigating in the views (Page 75)
3. Select the "Zero point adjustment" parameter [07].
4. Press the button.
The value "0" appears on the display and the "EDIT" symbol flashes.
5. Set the zero point to 0 or to the desired value.
6. Confirm the value by pressing the button.
7. Change to the measurement view with the button.
Note
Depending on the damping setting, a settling time elapses until the pressure measurement 0
appears in the measurement view.
• For this reason, vent the pressure connection of the device up to the end of the operation.
Result
• The device displays the pressure measurement 0 in the set unit.
• The effective measuring range is reduced by the amount of the upstream pressure.
Example: With an upstream pressure of 100 mbar, the effective measuring range of a 1-bar
pressure transmitter is reduced to a point between 0 and 0.9 bar.
Requirement
The pressure measurement is stable.
Procedure
1. Make sure there is identical pressure in the two process connections.
2. Navigate to the parameter view.
Navigating in the views (Page 75)
3. In the parameter view, select the "Zero point adjustment" parameter [07].
4. Press the button.
5. Set the zero point to 0 or to the desired value.
6. Confirm the value by pressing the button.
7. Change to the measurement view with the button.
Note
Depending on the damping setting, a settling time elapses until the pressure measurement 0 is
displayed.
• Make sure there is identical pressure in the two process connections until the end of the
operation.
Result
• The device displays pressure measurement 0 in the set unit.
• The effective measuring range is reduced by the amount of the upstream pressure.
Example: At a pre-load pressure of 25 mbar, the upper measuring range limit of a 250 mbar
pressure transmitter is reduced to 225 mbar.
Requirement
You have created a reference pressure that is within the measurement limits.
Procedure
1. Navigate to the parameter view.

Result
The device displays pressure measurement 0 in the set unit.
Depending on the set damping, the settling time is extended until the pressure measurement 0
is displayed.
Note
For devices for absolute pressure, the lower range value is at vacuum (0 bar a).
The zero point adjustment for devices for absolute pressure that do not measure absolute
pressure (0 bar a) leads to incorrect settings.
Introduction
Depending on the application of the device that you have selected using the "Application"
parameter, you have the option of selecting a unit:
• Level
• Volume
• Volume flow
• Mass flow
The selected unit is displayed in the measurement view.

9.2.1 Introduction
This section describes the most important parameters and functions that are available
additionally over remote operation:
• "Quick Start" wizard
• Identification (TAG)
• Totalizer
• Simulation
• Customized characteristic curve
• Sensor calibration
• Diagnostics functions
– Limit monitoring and event counter (not available on SITRANS P320)
– Trend log (not available on SITRANS P320)
– Operating hours counter
9.2.3 Identification
Define the data that you need to identify your device under the "Identification" parameter group.
A distinction is made between data you can set yourself and values that are preset in the factory.
The default values are write-protected and cannot be changed. The corresponding allocation is
set out in the following example:
9.2.4 Totalizer
The device has a totalizer that can be used to totalize the mass flow or volume flow.
You can configure the totalizer for measuring the net flow, the low pressure or the high pressure
flow.
In case of a device fault, the following options are available for fail-safe behavior of the totalizer:
- "Hold": Totalizer holds the last value before the error occurred.
- "Continue counting": Totalizer continues counting the current measured value.
- "Count latest good value": Totalizer continues counting starting with the last input value (for
example mass flow) before the error occurred.
Startup parameters
In the SIMATIC STEP 7 hardware configuration, for example, you can set the startup parameters
for the totalizer:
1. Click on your device.
2. Click on the module of the totalizer in the lower area of the station window.
9.2.5 Simulation
You can use the device to simulate the following via remote operation (e.g. SIMATIC PDM):
• Input and output values
– Constant pressure values
– Ramp function
• Diagnostics
Note
The simulated pressure value has a direct effect on the configured process value (e.g. volume or
flow rate).
Procedure
To simulate a constant pressure value via remote operation (e.g. SIMATIC PDM), follow these
steps:
1. For the "Simulation mode" parameter, set the "Enabled" option to simulate a constant
pressure value.
2. Select the pressure value ("Process value") to be simulated from the drop-down list under the
"Simulation selection" parameter.
3. For the "Simulation value" parameter, set the desired constant pressure value for the
simulation.
4. Set status to be simulated for the "PV status" parameter.
5. Click "Transfer" to start the simulation.
6. For the "Simulation mode" parameter, set the "Disabled" option to stop the simulation.
Result
The measured value is replaced by a constant simulation value. The simulation influences the
output signal.
The diagnostic ID "Cb" is displayed on the device.
Procedure
To simulate diagnostics via remote operation (e.g. SIMATIC PDM), follow these steps:
1. Open the "Device" menu in SIMATIC PDM and select "Simulation > Diagnostics".
2. To put the device into simulation mode, press the "Enable" button in the "Simulation
diagnostics" tab.
(Button switches between "Enable" and "Disable").
3. Select the diagnostics you want to simulate from the drop-down box of the "Diagnostics" field.
4. Select "Action" for each selected diagnostic action to be simulated: "On" or "Off".
5. To start the simulation, click on the "Apply and transfer" button.
The diagnostic status of the simulation selected for each diagnostic is displayed in additional
tabs in the dialog box. The simulated diagnostics is indicated by a check mark in the check box.
WARNING
When diagnostics simulation is enabled, diagnostic events of the real process are neither
recorded nor evaluated.
With activated diagnostics simulation, the diagnostics ID and "SIMUL" are displayed on the
device display.
Stop diagnostics simulation immediately after use:
• Click "Disable" in the "Diagnostics simulation" tab before you close the "Diagnostics" dialog.
• Alternatively, you can restart the device.
9.2.6.1 Introduction
For special applications, a customized characteristic curve is available.
This application is used, for example, for volume measurement in vessels with unusual shapes.
You specify the relationship between the input pressure and output value flow in accordance
with your user-specific requirements.
You have up to 32 breakpoints available for this, which you enter using the engineering system
and display graphically.
Example
For measurement with the customized characteristic curve, you set the following values, for
example:
This parameter is only visible when you have selected a custom characteristic curve using the
"Application" parameter.
Requirement
• You have set the "Customized characteristic curve" application.
• You have set a custom unit.
• You have set the lower scaling point and the upper scaling point.
Procedure
1. Select the "Customized characteristic curve" menu.
2. Read the data from the device.
3. Enter the desired number of breakpoints.
You can enter a minimum of two and up to 32 breakpoints.
4. Enter the x values and y values.
Note
The x values must increase monotonically. Otherwise, the x values are not accepted by the
device.
The characteristic curve is displayed as diagram.
The x values are shown as pressure value or as percentage of the set pressure range.
The y values are displayed in the user-specific unit or as a percentage of the configured user-
specific range.
5. Transfer the characteristic to the device.
Result
The output value now follows the set characteristic curve.
Values below the first breakpoint or above the last breakpoint are extrapolated.
You use the sensor calibration to set the characteristic curve of the device at two trim points. The
results are then correct measured values at the sensor trim points.
The sensor trim points can be selected as any points within the nominal range.
Devices that are not turned down prior to delivery are trimmed at 0 bar and the high limit of the
nominal range.
Devices that are turned down prior to delivery are trimmed at the low and high limits of the set
measuring range.
Examples
• For a particular device that is not turned down (e.g. 63 bar), the typical measured value is
50 bar. To attain the highest possible accuracy for this value, set the upper sensor trim at
50 bar.
• A 63-bar pressure transmitter is turned down to 4 to 7 bar. You can attain the highest possible
accuracy by selecting 4 bar for the low trim point and 7 bar for the high trim point.
• A 250-mbar absolute pressure transmitter shows 25 mbar at 20 mbar. A reference pressure
of 20 mbar is available. To correct the zero point, perform a sensor trim at the lower trim point
with 20 mbar.
Note
Use a test device whose accuracy is at least three times as high as the accuracy of the pressure
transmitter.

Depending on the selected channel (CHANNEL), the input scaling values are set with the
XD_SCALE parameter.
• Make sure that the settings under XD_SCALE match the settings (e.g., unit) in the Transducer
Block.
You use the L_TYPE parameter to specify whether the process value (PV) is derived:
• Direct: The value from the Transducer Block is used directly.
• Indirect Linear: The value from the Transducer Block is scaled into different units.
• Indirect SQRT: The value from the Transducer Block is scaled and the square root extracted
according to XD_SCALE and OUT_SCALE.
The output scaling values (OUT_SCALE) are usually applied from the Transducer Block.
You use the OUT_SCALE parameter to set the output scaling of the process value (PV).
The process value (PV) and the output value (OUT) have the same unit.
When the block is set to "Auto", OUT is equal to the PV.
With the LOW_CUT parameter, you set the low flow cut-off suppression (e.g., for volume flow
measurement):
• When the output value is less than the value specified in this parameter, the output value is
set to 0.
• You activate the low-cut function by setting the IO_OPTS parameter to "true".
You use the PV_FTIME parameter to set the time constant (damping) for the PV.
Functional principle
The PID function block implements a PID control algorithm. The execution time of the PID block
is 16 ms. The input variable of the setpoint SP depends on the selected operating mode of the
block.
Possible input variables are:
In manual mode (MAN), the output OUT can be set directly to the desired value.
The process value to be controlled is connected to the input IN. This value passes through a
filter with the time constant PV_FTIME.
A BYPASS switch is available to the operator for the case that the control option "Bypass enable"
applies.
"Bypass" is used with secondary cascade controls (Cas) with a poor PV. The "Bypass enable"
option is necessary because not all cascade control modes are stable when BYPASS is enabled.
The BYPASS parameter can only be set in "Manual" (Man) or "Out of Service" (OOS) modes. When
BYPASS is set, the SP value (in percent of the range) is passed directly to the target output, and
the OUT value is used for the BKCAL_OUT parameter.
When the mode is changed to "Cas", you must initialize the OUT value of the block in the "Open"
direction. If you use a block in "Cas" mode, you must initialize the actual value (PV) in the "Open"
direction when leaving the Bypass option. The initialization must be carried out independent of
selection of the "Use PV for BKCAL_OUT" Option.
Controller constants
Controller constants for the P, I, and D factors are:
• GAIN: Dimensionless number
• RESET (adjustment time): Time constant expressed in seconds
• RATE (derivative-action time): Time constant expressed in seconds
A number of existing controllers are regulated by the inverse values of some or all of these time
constants, e.g. proportional band and repetitions per minute.
If the RESET constant is set to "infinity", the integral component of the PID has no effect during
normal operation. However, the integral component of the PID is still used internally to enable
bumpless switchover from manual mode to automatic mode. The working point is adapted
accordingly in automatic mode.
If RESET if set to "0 s", the integral component is set to zero. This results in a fixed working point.
The differential component defined by RATE is smoothed by a first order filter. This reduces the
effects of the process noise. Without limitation by the cycle time, the time constant of the filter
is 0.2*RATE.
Note
Changing the setting of "Direct action"
Triggering of a positive or negative readback is possible depending on the setting. Therefore only
change the setting of "Direct action" following careful checking. Never make changes to the
selected setting during automatic mode.
If the actual value PV exceeds the setpoint SV, the setting of this control option results in an
increase in the output value. A positive feedback is possible.
If the actual value PV exceeds the setpoint SV with the control option not set, the output value
decreases. A negative feedback is possible.
The control option "Direct action" is additionally used to calculate the limit status for BKCAL_OUT.
Output
The output supports the feedforward algorithm. The input FF_VAL applies an external value
which responds proportional to certain faults in the control loop. The value is converted by the
values of the FF_SCALE parameter into a percentage of the output span.
This converted value is multiplied by the FF_GAIN parameter and added to the setpoint output
of the PID algorithm.
If FF_VAL has a status Bad, the last usable value is applied in order to prevent jumps in the output.
If FF_VAL returns to a good status, the block adapts its integral component in order to hold the
previous output value.
