 Introduction

1 Introduction
1.1 General information

The TPU-2 board (Temperature Processor Unit) and the HSU-board (HARTTM and Spot processor Unit) are
optional boards for the Enraf 854 Family. It can be used in the Enraf 854 level gauges, the 873 SmartRadar
and in the 877 FDI.

The function of the TPU-2 and the HSU board is to measure the temperature of a spot element (RTD).
This temperature measurement is interpret as product temperature.

The HSU board has a second function: the measurement of HARTTM compatible pressure transmitters and/or
a HARTTM compatible water interface probe. The commissioning of the pressure part of the HSU board is
analog to the HPU and OPU board and is described in the HIMS manual, HTG manual or P3-only manual.
This manual describes only the temperature part of the HSU and TPU-2 boards.

The temperature measurement is intrinsically safe, certified EEx ia IIB.

All required settings may be down line loaded from the host or locally entered through the series 847 PET
(Portable Enraf Terminal) via an optical link.
The temperature items for the TPU-2 and HSU boards are deducted from the average temperature
measurement on the HPU board (HARTTM Processor Unit). Therefore, these items are similar as with the
average temperature measurement via the 862 MIR.

Note:
Items for temperature measurement with the optional TPU-2 and HSU boards can have a different
meaning compared to the 862 MIR temperature selector.

1.2 TPU-2 compatibility

854 ATG / XTG:

Replacement of the TPU board by a TPU-2 board in an 854 ATG or 854 XTG level gauge requires some
checking. If the level gauge is of series 22 or earlier (i.e. 854-22-900 or lower), then the instrument is
probably equipped with a standard XPU board. The NOVRAM size on the standard XPU board is too small
for the TPU-2 option board items. Therefore, the XPU board must be replaced by an XPU-1 board.

If the XPU board has the NOVRAM expansion board installed, then that XPU board can be used. A NOVRAM
initialization is required as the TPU and TPU-2 have different set of items. After the NOVRAM init, all items
must be re-programmed, and in addition to this, the temperature items as described in this manual.

873 SmartRadar:
The TPU-2 board can be used as replacement for the TPU board in the 873 SmartRadar. Only the items, as
described in this manual, are to be programmed.

877 FDI:
The TPU-2 board can be used as replacement for the TPU board in an 877 FDI. Please be informed that a
NOVRAM initialization is required as the TPU and TPU-2 have different set of items. After the NOVRAM init,
all items must be re-programmed, and in addition to this, the temperature items as described in this manual.

 Introduction

1.3 Principle of operation

The analog temperature data from the resistance thermometer (RTD) is converted and digitized.
The digitized product temperature is converted into a serial ASCII Bi-phase Mark modulated signal, which is
transmitted via the 2 wire Enraf field bus.
The temperature measurement is based on a three or four wire RTD measurement.

The resistance measurement is performed in the following steps:

The spot element is measured, including the cable resistance

The cable resistance is measured separately, and subtracted from the element resistance to avoid
influence of the cabling on the temperature measurement
Next, the system constant is determined. This is done by measuring an accurate reference resistance
(Rref) 3ppm / °C (-40 ÷ 85°C)
In order to check the Rref, a test resistor (Rtest) is measured. This resistor has the same accuracy as
the reference resistor

These four measurements are performed with and without current to compensate for any thermo or offset
voltage in the measuring circuit.

 Commissioning

2 Commissioning
The commissioning of the optional temperature board should be performed after the basic commissioning of
the level gauge or indicator. The items mentioned in this section reside under protection level 2.

2.1 Format critical items

When the temperature dimension and / or the decimal separator has to be changed, it should be done at the
start of the commissioning.

Item Name Description

TD Temperature dimension One ASCII character; either “C” or “F”

C : degrees Celsius
F : degrees Fahrenheit

Both dimensions have the same format.

DP Decimal separator One ASCII character; either “.” (point) or “,” (comma).
If the instrument is equipped with an XPU-2 board, all related items are
automatically converted.

With an XPU and XPU-1 board, all items depending on the temperature,
level, density and pressure format have to be re-programmed with the
correct decimal separator.

2.2 Temperature related items

Item Name Description

MN Element configuration 2 Characters (default: 16) which should be set to:

03 for 3 wire RTD configuration;

04 for 4 wire RTD configuration.

Note:
If a 4 wire RTD configuration is used, strap ST1 on the TPU-2 or HSU
board must be placed to the correct position (refer to figure 2.1).

MO RTD position Format according to item LD. MO is the mounting position height of the
RTD. If the measured level drops below this height the following 2 actions
takes place:

The corresponding status bit (bit 3) is set in status byte 1 of item AP

(temperature request);
The temperature status on the instrument display is set to 'LR'.

 Item description

Item: TU Temperature status conversion

Type: N

Default value: T

If the temperature status is considered as a reduced or not guaranteed accuracy condition, then the character in this item is used in the
temperature status byte on the Enraf field bus to the host. It depends merely on the host, which character is accepted in the temperature
status field. A "T" is generally accepted by Enraf tank inventory systems to indicate the reduced accuracy condition.

The temperature status is to be considered with reduced accuracy when:

The VP item consists of 4 positions, separated in the middle: v w , x y (or v w . x y).

This item, together with item VV, makes it possible to request several important calculation results.
By means of the value pointer, a vector can be loaded to the optional board. Then, with item VV, the selected value is returned.

The following pointer values for temperature measurement of the TPU-2 / HSU board can be requested:
