Overview
Depending on the variant, the pressure transmitter measures corrosive, non-corrosive and
hazardous gases, vapors and liquids.
You can use the pressure transmitter for the following measuring tasks:
● Gauge pressure
● Absolute pressure
● Differential pressure
With the appropriate configuration and the necessary add-on parts (e.g. limiters and remote
seals), you can also use the pressure transmitter for the following measuring tasks:
● Level
● Volume flow
● Mass flow
● Volume
● Customized characteristic curve
The output signal for all measuring tasks is a direct current of 4 to 20 mA.
You can install the "intrinsically-safe" or "flameproof enclosure" version of the pressure
transmitter in hazardous areas. The devices have a test certification and comply with the
corresponding directives.
Pressure transmitters with remote seals of various shapes can be provided for special
applications. For example, measuring high-viscosity substances is a special application.
Operate the device in accordance with the specifications in section Technical data
(Page 191).
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.

Description
4.1 Area of application
Differential pressure and flow rate

This version measures corrosive, non-corrosive and hazardous gases, vapors and liquids. You
can use this version for the following measurement types:
● Differential pressure, e.g. effective differential pressure
● Gauge pressure, suitable for small positive or negative pressure value
● In combination with a restrictor device: flow rate q ~ ∆p
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.

4.6 System configuration
4.5 Remote seal
Product description
● A remote seal measuring system comprises the following elements:
– Remote seal
– Transmission line, e.g. capillary line
– Pressure transmitter.
Note
Malfunction of the remote seal measuring system
If you separate the components of the remote seal measuring system, this results in
malfunctioning of the system.
Do not separate the components under any circumstances.
● The measuring system based on a hydraulic principle is used to transfer pressure.

● The capillary line and the remote seal diaphragm are the most sensitive components in the
remote seal measuring system. The material thickness of the remote seal diaphragm is
only ∼ 0.1 mm.
● The smallest of leakages in the transmission system leads to the loss of transmission fluid.
● The loss of transmission fluid results in inaccuracies in the measurement and failure of the
measuring system.
● In order to avoid leaks and measuring errors, please observe the installation and
maintenance instructions in addition to the safety notes.
WARNING

5.4 Installing "Remote seal"
5.4.1 Remote seal installation
General installation instructions

● 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
If a shut-off valve exists, open the shut-off valve slowly when commissioning in order to
avoid pressure surges.
Note
Permissible ambient and operating temperatures
Install the pressure measuring device such that the permissible limits of ambient and
measured medium temperatures are not overshot or undershot even with the consideration
of the effect of convection and heat radiation.
● Note the effect of temperature on the measuring accuracy.
● When selecting the remote seals, ensure that fittings and flange components have
adequate pressure-temperature resistance by selecting suitable materials and pressure
ratings. The pressure rating specified on the remote seal applies to reference conditions
according to IEC 60770.
● For the maximum permissible pressure at higher temperatures, please refer to the
standard specified on the remote seal.

Installing/mounting
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.
5.4.2 Installation of the remote seal with the capillary line
Notes
● Do not rest the measurement assembly on the capillary line.
● Do not bend capillary lines; risk of leakages and/or risk of considerable increase in the
response time of the measuring system.
● Owing to the risk of bending and breakages, pay attention to mechanical overloads at the
joints such as capillary line-remote seal and capillary line-measuring instrument.
● Unwinding the excess capillary lines with a radius of at least 150 mm.
● Fasten the capillary line such that there are no vibrations.
● Permissible height differences:
– When installing the pressure measuring instrument above the measuring point, keep
the following in mind:
in the case of remote seal measuring systems with silicone, glycerin or paraffin oil filling,
the maximum height difference of H1max = 7 m must not be exceeded.
– If halocarbon oil is used as a fill fluid, this maximum height difference is H1max = 4 m, see
installation type G.
If negative overpressure is observed during measurements, reduce the permissible height
difference accordingly.

Factory setting: Upper measuring range limit, or as specified in order
9.2.2.3 Set lower range value/upper range value (without pressure available)
Introduction
The lower range value (4 mA) corresponds to 0% of the measuring range. The upper range
value (20 mA) corresponds to 100% of the measuring range.
Without pressure available, you have the following options for assigning the desired pressure
measurements to the lower range value and the upper range value:
Device without display Device with display Remote operation

Set lower range value - "Lower range value" pa‐ Settings > Current out‐
rameter [02] put > Lower range value
Set upper range value - "Upper range value" pa‐ Settings > Current out‐
rameter [03] put > Upper range value
The minimum permissible measuring span of the measuring cell must not be fallen below. You
can find the minimum permissible measuring span of your measuring cell in the section

Requirement
● No pressure is present.
● You have a device with display.
Procedure
2. In the parameter view, set the "Lower range value" parameter [02].
4. Enter a value within the measuring limits with the and buttons.

9.2.3 Damping value [04]
Sets the damping (filtering) for smoothing of sudden process value variations.
Setting range: 0.01 s ... 100 s, in steps of 0.01 s

Factory setting: 2 s, or as specified in order
The damping influences the reaction 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.

9.2.3.1 Set damping value
Procedure
2. Select the "Damping value" parameter.
4. Set the damping with the and buttons.
5. To set the damping in steps of 0.10 s, press and hold down the buttons.

You use the "Application" parameter to adjust the device for the following measuring tasks.
● Pressure measurement
● Level measurement
● Volume flow measurement
● Mass flow measurement
● Volume measurement
● Customized characteristic curve (only available via remote operation). (Page 146)
Characteristic curves
The device uses a linear characteristic curve for pressure and level measurements.

9.2.6 Zero point adjustment [07]
Introduction
A series of factors, such as installation, static pressure, temperature or long-term stability, can
cause zero-point errors.
The following options are available to correct zero-point errors:

Press the button and hold for "Zero point adjustment" parame‐ Device > Zero point adjustment
3 seconds. ter
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.
9.2.6.1 Adjusting zero point (gauge pressure)
Requirement
The pressure measurement is stable.
Procedure
1. Vent the pressure connection of the device.
3. In the parameter view, select the "Zero point adjustment" parameter [07].
5. Set the zero point to 0.
6. 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.
9.2.6.2 Adjusting the zero point (differential pressure)
Requirement
The pressure measurement is stable.
Procedure
1. Make sure there is identical pressure in the two process connections.
5. Set the zero point to 0.
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.
9.2.6.3 Adjusting zero point (absolute pressure)
Requirement
You have created a reference pressure that is within the measurement limits.

Procedure
4. The value "0" appears on the display.
5. Confirm the value by pressing the button.
Result
The device displays pressure measurement 0.0 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.
Note
The effective measuring range is reduced by the amount of the upstream pressure.
Example: With an upstream pressure of 10 mbar, the effective measuring range of a 1300 mbar
pressure transmitter is reduced to a point between 0 and 1290 mbar.

9.2.7.3 Apply lower range value/upper range value (with pressure present)
Introduction
The lower range value (4 mA) corresponds to 0% of the measuring range. The upper range
value (20 mA) corresponds to 100% of the measuring range.
With pressure present, you have the following options for assigning the desired pressure
measurements to the lower range value and the upper range value:

Apply lower range value Hold down the button "Apply lower range val‐ "Device > Apply values"
for 3 seconds. ue" parameter [08] menu
Apply upper range value Hold down the button "Apply upper range val‐ "Device > Apply values"
for 3 seconds. ue" parameter [09] menu
The minimum permissible measuring span of the measuring cell must not be fallen below. You
can find the minimum permissible measuring span of your measuring cell in the section
Example: Measuring cell 0 to 16 bar

1. The measuring range is from 0 to 16 bar.

S>EDU@

9.3.4 Simulation
You can use the device to simulate the following via remote operation (e.g. field communicator,
SIMATIC PDM):
● Input and output values
– Constant pressure values
– Ramp function
● Diagnostics

NOTICE
Timeout of simulation
10 minutes after changing (editing) a simulation parameter (the "Simulation value" parameter
is the exception), the simulation is automatically disabled and the device returns to normal
measuring mode. When a timeout occurs, the "Simulation mode" parameter switches to
"Disabled" and the error code "Cb" is no longer shown on the display. (Device status
conditions are also reset in PDM, AMS, FDT and FC375/475.)
9.3.4.1 Simulate constant pressure values
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.
Note
The simulated pressure value has a direct effect on the configured process value (e.g. volume
or flow rate) and thus on the current output dependent on it.

9.3.4.2 Simulate ramp function
Procedure
To simulate a ramp function via remote operation (e.g. SIMATIC PDM), follow these steps:
1. For the "Simulation mode" parameter, set the "Ramp" option to simulate a changing
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 start value for the simulation.
4. Set status to be simulated for the "PV status" parameter.
5. Set the "Ramp end" parameter .
6. Set the "Ramp steps" parameter to define the number of steps in the ramp simulation.
7. Set the "Ramp duration" parameter to define the time interval (in seconds) for each step in
the simulation.
8. Click "Transfer" to start the simulation.
9. For the "Simulation mode" parameter, set the "Disabled" option to stop the simulation.
Note
The simulated pressure value has a direct effect on the configured process value (e.g. volume
or flow rate) and thus on the current output dependent on it.
9.3.4.3 Simulate diagnostics
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.

End diagnostics simulation

You close the simulation in the "Diagnostics simulation" tab:
● To disable a specific diagnostic action, click "Off" (under the "Action" field).
● To end the diagnostics simulation, click on the "Disable" button.
NOTICE
The device display shows a simulated diagnostic status and does not react to diagnostic
events of normal operation.
When diagnostics simulation is enabled, diagnostic events of normal operation are neither
recorded nor evaluated.
When diagnostics simulation is enabled, the device display shows the currently most critical
simulated diagnostic status.
● Stop diagnostics simulation immediately after use as follows:
– Click "Disable" in the "Diagnostics simulation" tab before you close the "Diagnostics"
dialog.
– Alternatively, you can restart the device.
9.3.5 Customized characteristic curve
9.3.5.1 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 define the relationship between inlet pressure and outlet current according to 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:

Lower range value: 0 bar
Upper range value: 10 bar
Application: Custom (CUSTM)
Unit: Cans
Lower scaling point: 0 cans
Upper scaling point: 250 cans

x values: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%

y values: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%
9.3.5.2 "Custom units" parameter

Selects a custom unit.
The selected unit is displayed in the measurement view (Page 73).
Setting range: Up to 12 characters

Factory setting: 0 or as specified in order
This parameter is only visible when you have selected a custom characteristic curve using the
"Application" parameter.
9.3.5.3 Set customized characteristic curve
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 current now follows the set characteristic.
Values below the first breakpoint or above the last breakpoint are extrapolated.

9.3.6 Sensor calibration
You use the sensor trim 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.
Sensor trim at the lower trim point

1. Apply the pressure for the lower sensor trim at the device.
2. Use the "Apply values" menu to enter the pressure value that you have created and assign
the pressure value to the device.
The device calibrates to your value.
The device carries out an offset correction of the characteristic curve.

Sensor trim at the upper trim point

1. Apply the pressure for the upper sensor trim at the device.
The upper trim point needs to be greater than the lower trim point.
2. Use the "Apply values" menu to enter the pressure value that you have created and assign
the pressure value to the device.
The device calibrates to your value.
The slope of the characteristic curve is corrected.
The lower sensor trim point is not affected by this.

9.3.7 Diagnostics functions
9.3.7.1 Limit monitoring and event counter

Used to monitor selected process values, count associated events based on configured limits
and triggers, acknowledge and reset alarms and warnings.

Configuring variables for monitoring

Configure a process value for each "Limit monitoring" tab. Select the process value to be
monitored in the "Monitored value" drop-down list. Enter the values for upper limit, lower limit
and hysteresis that trigger an event.
Limits
Each process value (monitored value) is assigned limits. The following limit parameters are
available:
● Upper limit
● Lower limit
● Hysteresis
Hysteresis
The hysteresis works as follows:
/LPLWVZLWKK\ᚔHUHVLV $ %
0RQLWRUHGYDOXH
8SSHUOLPLW
+\ᚔHUHVLV
+\ᚔHUHVLV
/RZHUOLPLW
7LPH

/LPLWVZLWKRXWK\ᚔHUHVLV
& '
0RQLWRUHGYDOXH
8SSHUOLPLW
/RZHUOLPLW
7LPH

A:Upper limit with hysteresis

An overrun event is counted when the process value rises above the upper limit (1). The next
overrun event is counted when the process value falls below the lower limit minus hysteresis
(2), and then rises above the upper limit (3).
When hysteresis is enabled (value not equal to zero entered), two events are counted within
the time period specified by 'A'.

B:Lower limit with hysteresis

An underrun event is counted when the process value falls below the lower limit (1). The next
underrun event is counted when the process value first rises above the lower limit plus
hysteresis (2), and then falls below the lower limit (3).
C:Lower limit without hysteresis
An underrun event is counted when the process value falls below the lower limit (1). The next
underrun event is counted when the process value rises above the lower limit (2) by a given
value (since the hysteresis is set to zero), and then falls below the lower limit (2).
When hysteresis is disabled (no value entered), three events are counted within the period
specified by 'C'.
D:Upper limit without hysteresis
An overrun event is counted when the process value rises above the upper limit (1). The next
overrun event is counted when the process value falls below the lower limit (2) by a given value
(since the hysteresis is set to zero), and then rises above the upper limit (2).
Limit monitoring not requiring acknowledgment
If limit monitoring display is enabled, a "process value alarm" is set for each limit violation (high
or low violation).
This process value alarm is reset when the monitored process value is again within the limits.
It is not necessary to acknowledge the process value alarm.
Limit monitoring requiring acknowledgment with event counter
With this type of monitoring, the configured diagnostics is only triggered after the specified
number of limit violations has been reached (e.g. maintenance required).
This diagnostic message must be acknowledged. During acknowledgment, the event counters
of the monitored process value and the diagnostic messages are reset.
Events and actions

If the process value rises above the upper limit (overrun) or falls below the lower limit
(underrun), an event is counted with an adjustment by any hysteresis.
Process alarms and warnings are displayed as symbols for the status in the device status
dialog in the engineering system and on the device screen.
All alarms and warnings that have been triggered remain pending until the event counter is
reset. Disabling the action means that no new alarms or warnings are triggered for the
configured limits although the counter remains in operation.
Actions and fail-safe mode

Process alarms can trigger fail-safe behavior at the signal output, while process warnings only
serve as information available via local operation and the engineering system. Process values
set the signal output to fail-safe mode if:
– Specific errors occur (the mA output is set to fail-safe mode). (See Diagnostic messages
(Page 184).)
– A maintenance alarm occurs at a process value selected at the output.

Enable monitoring
Once the monitored variable is configured, you must ensure that the limit monitoring is set to
Enabled and then select Apply and transfer to the device. To monitor a different process value,
repeat the steps in a new tab page for limit monitoring.
Displaying and resetting event counters

If process alarms or warnings are triggered during device operation, return to this dialog and
select Reset and acknowledge. The event counter is reset and process alarms and warnings
are acknowledged and deleted.
9.3.7.2 Trend log
Requirement
You have the SITRANS P420 product version.
Set trend log

Trend logging can be configured in SIMATIC PDM via the menu command "Device > Trend
log settings".
1. Activate logging by specifying a number of values to be logged in the "Number of logging
values" parameter.
2. In the "Number of logged points" parameter, enter the number of points to be logged.
3. In the "Logging interval" parameter, specify the interval in seconds between the log entries.
4. Use the "Logging behavior" parameter to define the buffer behavior when the log is full.
5. In the parameters "Logging value 1" and "Logging value 2", define the process values to
be logged.
6. Click on the "Transfer" button to write the log settings to the device.
You can view the trend log via the menu command "Diagnostics > Trend log".
Show trend log

The PV and SV (set in the "PV selector" and "SV selector" parameters) are recorded at
specified intervals and the trend log displays up to 300 data points since the last power-on.
The number of points already recorded and the start time are displayed.
Click on the "Read" button to update the log. A dialog box is displayed in which you can specify
the number of points to be read, the point density and the start time for reading. (An example
for setting the point density: If the point density is set to 2, every second value is displayed.)
When you have made all the settings, click on the "Transfer" button.
To display the trend lines, select the menu command "View > Process values" in the "Trend"
tab.

Functional Safety 10
Introduction
This section includes the required additional information for parameter assignment,
commissioning and maintenance of the device in a safety-instrumented system.
10.1 Safety concept

The device was developed in accordance with the Safety Integrity Level (SIL), which is defined
as a relative level of risk reduction offered by a safety function.
The individual device has a hardware fault tolerance of 0 (HFT = 0) and a systematic suitability
of 3. The device is classified as Type B device.
● The device meets the requirements of SIL 2 in single-channel safety-related systems.
● The device meets the requirements of SIL 3 in two-channel safety-related systems, when
a comparison function for checking the output of the two redundant devices comprising a
redundant system is implemented.
10.1.1 Random and systematic errors

Random errors can occur at any time. An example is an electronic circuit that is faulty
immediately.
Systematic errors occur under specific conditions and are reproducible, if the same conditions
arise again. An example is a software error that occurs under certain conditions.
There are random and systematic errors in hardware, but only systematic errors in software.
Note
Limitations in redundant systems
Redundancy significantly reduces the probability of a failure of the fail-safe behavior due to a
random error but not the probability of systematic errors.
10.1.2 SIL-compliant product version

Information on specific versions that are permitted for use in safety-related systems according
to IEC 61508 can be found in the manufacturer's declaration of conformity for the device (SIL
declaration of conformity, Functional Safety according to IEC 61508).

Functional Safety
10.1 Safety concept
See also
General functional safety (http://www.siemens.com/safety)
Functional safety in process instrumentation (http://www.siemens.com/SIL)
10.1.3 Safety function
The fail-safe behavior of the device is the pressure measurement or the measurement of
certain process values which can be calculated from the pressure value.
The 4 to 20 mA analog output can be used as part of a safety instrumented function (SIF).
Ensure that you have only connected one device per channel and that the device is not in
multidrop mode.
Besides the application-specific measuring errors under default reference conditions, an
additional safety accuracy of ± 2% of the maximum measuring range must be added:
Total tolerance (fail-safe behavior) = ± [application-specific measurement error + 2 % safety
accuracy].
Example
A silo is to be securely monitored to check that the level does not exceed 10 meters.
Application-specific measurement error: 0.1%
Safety accuracy: 2.0%
Total tolerance: 2.1%
2.1% of 10 meters is 21 centimeters. When process monitoring is set to 9.79 meters, safe
shutdown is guaranteed even in the event of a random individual error within the safety
accuracy.
Note
Use of remote seals
If remote seals are used, the application-specific measurement error is the product of the
pressure transmitter and remote seal measurement errors.
Safety allowance
The diagnostics function reacts within 2 seconds after detection of an error.
Note
For use outside the standard reference conditions, contact Siemens to define an additional
safety accuracy.

The combination of pressure transmitter, automation system and final controlling element
forms a safety-instrumented system that performs fail-safe behavior. The focus of this
description is on the pressure transmitter. For information on requirements for the automation
system or final controlling element, please refer to the corresponding standards.
The pressure transmitter generates a process-related measured value that is transferred to
the automation system. The automation system monitors this measured value. If the measured
value violates the high or low limit, the automation system generates a shutdown signal for the
connected final controlling element, which switches the corresponding valve to the specified
safety position.
Only one SITRANS P device is required for single-channel operation for SIL 2.

The combination of transmitter, automation system and final controlling element forms a safety-

the transmitter. For information on requirements for the automation system or final controlling
element, please refer to the corresponding standards.
The transmitter generates process-related measured values that are transferred to the
automation system. The automation system monitors these measured values. In the event of
a fault, the automation system generates shutdown signals for connected final controlling
elements that set the associated valve to the defined safety position. Faults are:
● Violations of the preset high or low limits
● Deviations between the two measured values

Functional Safety
10.1 Safety concept
The automation system program must monitor the measured values of both SITRANS
P devices. As soon as the measured values differ by e.g. 2% or more, the system must be
brought into the safe state and the fault must be located.
Two SITRANS P devices are required for multi-channel operation for SIL 3. Operation with
one device is not permitted.
Note
Switching-off of system at high monitoring accuracy
The two transmitters are connected to the process at different positions. Actual differences in
pressure ≥ the total tolerance (safety function) can occur when the process is started up or if
there are other pressure variations. A difference in pressure ≥ the total tolerance (safety
function) will shut down the system.
● Match the monitoring accuracy of the automation system to the process.
● Mount the two transmitters exposed to equal conditions.
10.1.3.1 Device statuses

The following table provides a definition of the states of the device:
Device status Description Error class

Normal mode (4-20 mA) The safe current output outputs -
the measured value within the
defined safety accuracy.
Detected failure (safe state) The safe current output is (λDD) Rate of dangerous detec‐
≤ 3.6 mA or ≥ 21 mA (specified ted errors
as failure signal).
Dangerous state A dangerous state exists when a (λDU) Rate of dangerous undetec‐
current output is in the range ted errors
4-20 mA and deviates from the
correct process value by more
than the specified safety accura‐
cy (Page 154) for more than 2
seconds.
10.1.3.2 Safety parameters

You can find the safety parameters in the certificate for functional safety in accordance with
IEC 61508.
Note
Useful lifetime
Constant failure rates are assumed for the calculation of PFD/SFF. This assumption is valid
for environmental conditions that are typical for an industrial environment, corresponding to
IEC 60654-1 class C (weatherproof locations) with an average long-term temperature of 40°C.
After 15 years, however, the failure rates may increase.

Diagnostics and troubleshooting 12
12.1 Device status symbols
The device status is displayed on the display with the help of symbols. In addition, you can
view the symbol and the corresponding text message for each device status in the remote
engineering, asset management or in the process control systems.
Alarms are displayed via local operation in the measurement view as symbol in the bottom
line of the display. If multiple diagnostic states are pending at the same time, the symbol for
the most critical status is displayed.
Properties of the device status

The table below shows the possible causes for the device status and measures for the user
or service.
The symbols used for the display are based on NAMUR status signals, while the symbols used
in SIMATIC PDM are based on standard diagnostic classes from Siemens.
Note
Priority conflict in the device status – NAMUR vs. Siemens standard
A priority conflict can arise when multiple diagnostic events are pending at the same time. In
this case, the NAMUR symbol on the local display differs from the symbol displayed in SIMATIC
PDM.
● Example: If both diagnostic states "Maintenance demanded" and "Configuration errors" are
pending
– The display (used NAMUR symbols) shows "Configuration errors" with a higher priority.
– SIMATIC PDM (uses Siemens standard symbols) shows "Maintenance demanded" with
higher priority.
Note the priority of the device status depending on the interface used.
Note
Priorities of the NAMUR device status
This device only used the priorities of the NAMUR device status based on the HCF
specification.
The order of the symbols in the table corresponds to the priority of the device status, starting
with the most critical message.

Glossary
ATEX
ATEX is an abbreviation of the French term "Atmosphère explosible" (potentially explosive
atmosphere). ATEX stands for both EC directives in the area of explosion protection: ATEX
product directive 94/9/EC and ATEX operating directive 1999/92/EC.
Auxiliary power supply

Auxiliary power supply refers to an electrical supply or reference voltage which some electrical
circuits require apart from the standard supply. The auxiliary power supply can, for example,
be specially stabilized, have a particular level or polarity and/or other properties which are
important for the correct functioning of switch components.
Auxiliary voltage
→ Auxiliary power supply
Dangerous failure
Failure with the potential to switch a safety-instrumented system to a hazardous or non-
functioning safety state.
EEPROM
EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory): a non-volatile, electronic
memory module.
EEPROMs are often used where individual bytes of data (e.g. configuration data or runtime
meters) change over time and must be stored safely in the event of a mains power failure.
Failure/Fault/Error
Failure:
A resource is no longer capable of executing a required function.
Fault/Error:
Undesired state of a resource indicated by its incapability of executing a required function.
Fault/Error
→ Failure/Fault/Error
Final controlling element

Converter that converts electrical signals into mechanical or other non-electric variables.

Glossary
Fingerprint
Numerical value generated by the device when you start safety validation via the "Functional
Safety" wizard. By comparing the fingerprint, you determine whether or not the device and
the safety-related parameters have changed erroneously during activation of the functional
safety.
Firmware
Firmware (FW) is software that is embedded on a chip in electronic devices – in contrast to
software which is saved on hard disks, CD-ROMs or other media. These days, firmware is
mostly stored in a flash memory or EEPROM.
Firmware usually contains the elementary functions for controlling the device, as well as input
and output routines.
Frequency shift keying

Frequency shift keying is a simple form of modulation, where the digital values 0 and 1
modulate the actual current signal by means of two different frequencies.
Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)

→ Frequency shift keying
HART
HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) is a standardized, widely used
communications system used to structure industrial fieldbusses. The communications system
provides digital communications for multiple participants (field devices) via a common databus.
HART is based especially on the equally widely used 4/20 mA standard for the transfer of
analog sensor signals. The cabling from existing older systems can be used directly and both
systems operated in parallel.
HART specifies several protocol levels in the OSI model. It facilitates the transfer of process
and diagnostics data and control signals between field devices and high-level control systems.
Standardized parameter sets can be used for the manufacture-independent operation of all
HART devices.
Typical applications include transmitters for measuring mechanical and electrical dimensions.
Non-volatile memory
→ EEPROM
Risk
Combination of the probability of damage occurring and the extent of the damage.

Glossary
Safety function
Defined function executed by a safety-instrumented system with the objective of attaining or
maintaining a safe system state by taking a defined hazardous incident into account.
Example:
Limit pressure monitoring
Safety Integrity Level

→ SIL
Safety-instrumented system
A safety-instrumented system (SIS) executes the safety functions that are required to achieve
or maintain a safe state in a system. It consists of a sensor, logic unit/control system and final
controlling element.
Example:
A safety-instrumented system is made up of a pressure transmitter, a limit signal sensor and
a control valve.
Sensor
Converter that converts mechanical or other non-electric variables into electrical signals.
SIL
The international standard IEC 61508 defines four discrete safety integrity levels (SIL) from
SIL 1 to SIL 4. Each level corresponds to a probability range for the failure of a safety function.
The higher the SIL of the safety-instrumented system, the higher the probability that the
required safety function will work.
The SIL which can be achieved is determined by the following safety-instrumented
characteristics:
● Average probability of failure on demand (PFDAVG)
● Hardware fault tolerance (HFT)
● Safe failure fraction (SFF)
Total error
Total Error is sum of Total Performance and the long-term stability.
Total Error(s)
→ Total error

Glossary
Total Performance
Total Performance is the square root of the sum of the squares of the three deviations resulting
from the influence of the static pressure, the temperature and the characteristic deviation.
TP
→ Total Performance
