Overview
Calculation Speed is used to apply a different algorithm to the calculation of process variables
from the raw process data. Calculation Speed = Special produces faster and “noisier” response
to changes in the process.
In ProLink II, Calculation Speed is called Response Time.
Restriction
Calculation Speed is available only on systems with the enhanced core processor.
Tip
You can use Calculation Speed = Special with either setting of Update Rate. The parameters control
different aspects of flowmeter processing.
Procedure
Set Calculation Speed as desired.
Option Description
Normal
Transmitter calculates process variables at the standard speed.
Special
Transmitter calculates process variables at a faster speed.
5.5 Configure alarm handling
The alarm handling parameters control the transmitter’s response to process and device
conditions.
Alarm handling parameters include:
•
Fault Timeout
•
Status Alarm Severity
