Safety Information & Guidelines

This section contains information that must be read and understood by all

persons installing, using, or maintaining this equipment.

Failure to follow appropriate safety procedures or inappropriate use of

the equipment described in this manual can lead to equipment damage

or injury to personnel.

Any person working with or on the equipment described in this manual is

required to evaluate all functions and operations for potential safety hazards

before commencing work. Appropriate precautions must be taken as

necessary to prevent potential damage to equipment or injury to personnel.

The information in this manual is designed to aid personnel to correctly

and safely install, operate, and/or maintain the system described; however,

personnel are still responsible for considering all actions and procedures for

potential hazards or conditions that may not have been anticipated in the

written procedures. If a procedure cannot be performed safely, it must

not be performed until appropriate actions can be taken to ensure the

safety of the equipment and personnel. The procedures in this manual

are not designed to replace or supersede required or common sense safety

practices. All safety warnings listed in any documentation applicable to

equipment and parts used in or with the system described in this manual

must be read and understood prior to working on or with any part of the

system.

Failure to correctly perform the instructions and procedures in this

manual or other documents pertaining to this system can result in

equipment malfunction, equipment damage, and/or injury to

personnel.

The following admonitions are used throughout this manual to alert users

to potential hazards or important information. Failure to heed the

warnings and cautions in this manual can lead to injury or equipment

damage.

Warning Warnings notify users of procedures, practices, conditions, etc.

which may result in injury or death if not carefully observed or followed.

The triangular icon displayed with a warning may contain a lightning bolt

or the radiation symbol, depending on the type of hazard.

Product Overview

The Thermo Scientific MS2011 is designed to provide reliable and

accurate level and density measurements for up to four applications. With

FOUNDATION™ fieldbus, the MS2011 also provides users with access to

control or program parameters via a host system.

The gauge consists of a source head containing the radioisotope source and

the detector-transmitter. The radioisotope source emits gamma radiation

that passes through the process material. The detector measures the energy

of the radiation arriving at the detector after passing through the process

material (and vessel walls). The gauge determines the level and/or density

of the process material by measuring the amount of radiation arriving at the

detector, which varies with the level/density of the process material.

Note

This guide contains information specific to applications using the

MS2011 with FOUNDATION fieldbus. For information on the standard

MS2011, reference the LevelPRO user guide (PN 1-0702-039) and the

DensityPRO Measurement Systems user guide (PN 1-0702-016). 

Fieldbus is an all-digital communication system between devices on the

bus. The MS2011with FOUNDATION fieldbus provides the following:

 Execution of control functions (algorithms) in the actual device

 Device registration with the Fieldbus Foundation™, ensuring

compatibility with the devices of other systems

 Ability to configure using device-specific device description (DD)

 Ability to send data directly between devices

Note

This manual assumes a working knowledge of FOUNDATION fieldbus

terminology and practices. For additional information on FOUNDATION

fieldbus, visit www.fieldbus.org. 

Overview

MS2011 with FOUNDATION™ fieldbus Application Guide Thermo Scientific

A FOUNDATION fieldbus network consists of links and devices. A link is the

serial bus that connects the devices on the network. There are three types of

devices:

 Link master: The MS2011 with FOUNDATION fieldbus has link master

capabilities. This device type controls communications traffic on a link

and prevents multiple devices from communicating data at the same

time. A link master may also be the Link Active Scheduler (LAS),

which is the device that is currently controlling access to the fieldbus. A

fieldbus network may have more than one link master per link, but

there may be only one LAS at a time.

 Basic device: This device type can communicate on the fieldbus

network, but it cannot become the LAS.

 Bridge: This device type connects two or more links in a fieldbus

network.

A device is identified by its device tag and device ID. The device tag is the

unique name you assign to it, and the device ID is a unique identifier

assigned by the manufacturer. The device ID cannot be changed.

Blocks allow you to configure and control the fieldbus gauge. A block is

identified by its block tag, which is similar to the device tag. The block tag

uniquely identifies the block on the network.

Linkages connect two blocks and enable the transfer of data from one

function block to another. The MS2011 supports the following blocks:

 One resource block (RB): Contains device information, such as the

device tag and device ID.

 Five Transducer Blocks (TB): Allows you to configure or view system

setup parameters and access system diagnostic tools.

 Eight analog input blocks (AI): Makes manufacturer's input data

available to other functions at its output.

The figure below illustrates the default interconnections of the blocks for a

single Analog Input Function Block.

The characteristics of the input and output options for the MS2011 with

FOUNDATION fieldbus are summarized in the table below.

Note

The table shown is for a single, integrated MS2011. When working

with a remote MS2011 setup, add one 4-20 mA and one RTD input to the

input count of the below table for each additional detector used. 
