INTRODUCTION

Rosemount 5300/5400 Series
The Rosemount 5300 Series and Rosemount 5400 Series transmitters are
Modbus compatible measurement devices that support communication with a
Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) using a subset of read, write, and diagnostic
commands used by most Modbus compatible host controllers. The
transmitters also support communication through Levelmaster and Modbus
ASCII protocols.
The HART® to Modbus Converter (HMC) module is located inside the
Rosemount 5300 and Rosemount 5400 transmitter enclosure and provides
power to and communicates with the transmitter through a HART interface.

RS-485 Bus

Installation cases

•

The 5300/5400 transmitters do not provide electrical isolation between
the RS-485 bus and the transmitter power supply

•

Maintain a bus topology and minimize stub length

•

Figure 1-4 identifies multidrop wiring topology, where up to 32 devices
may be wired on one RS-485 bus

•

The RS-485 bus needs to be terminated once at each end, but should
not be terminated elsewhere on the bus

Install the Rosemount 5300/5400 Series Transmitters as shown in Figure 1-4.
•

Use common ground for Modbus Master and Power Supply

•

The Power cables and RS-485 Bus are in the same cable installation

•

An ground cable is installed and shall be used (cable size ≥4 mm
according to IEC60079-14, or size according to applicable national
regulations and standards). A properly installed threaded conduit
connection may provide sufficient ground.

•

The cable shielding is grounded at master site (optional)

NOTE
The HMC equipped transmitter contains intrinsically safe circuits that require
the housing to be grounded in accordance with national and local electrical
codes. Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by the equipment.

Alternatively, the Rosemount 5300/5400 Series Transmitters can be installed
as shown in Figure 1-5. If this wiring layout is used, there is an increased risk
for communication disturbances due to differences in potential between
grounding points. By using the same grounding point for Modbus Master and
Power Supply, this risk is reduced.

External HART Devices
(Slaves)

Rosemount 5300/5400 Series
The HMC supports up to four external HART devices. The external devices
are separated by using the HART address. The address must be different
between the external devices and only addresses 1 to 5 are allowed for
multiple slaves. Connect the devices one at a time and change the short
address prior to connecting the next device by using a HART Configuration
Tool such as RRM, or a Field Communicator.
NOTE
The power supply from the HMC to external HART devices is not intrinsically
safe. In a hazardous environment, any external HART device connected to
the HMC must have Flameproof/Explosion-proof certification.
The HMC cyclically polls the HART devices for measurement values. The
update rate depends on the number of connected devices and is shown in
Table 1-2.

ESTABLISH HART
COMMUNICATION

The Rosemount 5300 Series and Rosemount 5400 Series can be configured
using the Rosemount Radar Master (RRM) PC software or a Field
Communicator. Configuration is done by sending HART commands through
the HART to Modbus Converter (HMC) to the 5300/5400 transmitter
electronics. To establish HART communication, connect to the MA/MB
terminals, or to the HART terminals. Both alternatives are described below.

Connect to the MA/MB
terminals

The 5300/5400 level transmitter can be configured with RRM using the MA,
MB terminals.
An RS-485 Converter is required to connect to the transmitter.
The transmitter will try to establish communication using different protocols
during 20 second timeslots from time of startup.

6. Connect to the transmitter and perform the necessary configuration.
7. After completing the configuration, disconnect the RS-485 Converter,
connect the Modbus communication wires and cycle power to the
transmitter
8. Verify communication between the transmitter and the RTU is
established (can take up to 60 seconds from startup).
NOTE
Take the following into consideration if there are multiple 5300/5400 Modbus
units on the bus:
By default, the transmitters have HART address 1. It will not be possible to
establish communication on HART address 1 if several transmitters have the
same address. In this case, there are alternative solutions to establish
communication:
1. Select the Scan by Tag option in the Search Device window in RRM and
enter the HART Device Tag of the transmitter. Communication can now
be established with an individual transmitter even if several devices have
the same HART address.

2. Make sure the 5300/5400 transmitter is alone on bus. Disconnect or turn
off power from any other devices.

Connect to the HART
terminals

To configure the 5300/5400 transmitter, connect the communicator or PC to
the HART terminals using a HART modem, see Figure 1-3 on page 1-6. Both
the configuration tool and the RS-485 bus can be connected simultaneously.
Configuration data is sent with HART commands through the HMC to the
5300/5400 transmitter electronics, as illustrated in Figure 1-1 on page 1-3.
Note that the power supply must be connected during configuration, see also
“Electrical Installation” on page 1-4.
NOTE
Measurement data is not updated to the Modbus Master when a configuration
tool is connected.

TRANSMITTER
CONFIGURATION

Rosemount 5300/5400 Series
Configuration data such as Tank Height, Upper Null Zone, dielectric
constants, and other basic parameters are configured in the same way as for
a standard Rosemount 5300/5400 transmitter. For more information, see the
Rosemount 5300 Series Quick Installation Guide (Document No.
00825-0100-4530), and the Rosemount 5400 Series Quick Installation Guide
(Document No. 00825-0100-4026).
Make sure that the measurement unit of the Primary Variable (PV) matches
the configuration of the Modbus Host since the transmitter output value does
not include any information on associated measurement units.
For further information on basic configuration, see the Rosemount 5300
Series Reference Manual (Document No. 00809-0100-4530), and the
Rosemount 5400 Series Reference Manual (Document No.
00809-0100-4026).
NOTE
The 5300/5400 transmitter with Modbus protocol is configured to HART
address 1 at factory. This reduces power consumption by locking the analog
output at 4 mA.

Modbus ASCII is not commonly used, since it doubles the amount of bytes
for the same message as the Modbus RTU.
If you do not have any of these RTUs, check your RTU manual to see which
protocols it supports.

Using RRM to change
communication
parameters

NOTE
To change Modbus communication parameters, the Rosemount 5300/5400
must use HART address 1, the default address.

NOTE
After changing communication parameters, disconnect the HART modem and
wait at least 60 seconds for the change to take effect.
In case the MA/MB terminals are used for connection to the HMC, disconnect
the RS-485 Converter, cycle power to the transmitter and wait up to 60
seconds for the change to take effect.

ALARM HANDLING

00809-0500-4530, Rev AA
October 2010

NOTE
If the Modbus communication setup has been changed, but the transmitter
has not yet started to use the new configuration, then you need to disconnect
the HART modem and wait up to 60 seconds for the change to take effect.
In case the MA/MB terminals are used for connection to the HMC, disconnect
the RS-485 Converter, cycle power to the transmitter and wait up to 60
seconds for the change to take effect.
The Modbus communication settings will otherwise be lost if you write a new
message to the transmitter.
The output from the Modbus transmitter in case of an error (such as a field
device malfunction) can be configured. The values for Modbus registers
corresponding to PV, SV, TV, and QV will be changed accordingly (applicable
registers in area 1300, 2000, 2100, and 2200).
The default alarm output value for each protocol is defined on the next page.
Configuring alarm output value is optional.
Use the Modbus string to configure the alarm output. To enter a Modbus string
in RRM, do the following (Modbus RTU shown):
1. Start RRM and connect to the transmitter.
2. In RRM, select Setup>General.

Verify Alarm Output

00809-0500-4530, Rev AA
October 2010

To verify the Alarm Output, use RRM to simulate a device failure:
1. Establish HART communication with the transmitter through RRM.
2. Select Simulation Mode in the Tools menu.

3. Click Enable Device Failure Alarm (simulated).
4. Click the Start button.
5. Disconnect HART modem.
6. Verify that the configured alarm output is available in the Modbus host.
7. Use RRM to turn off simulation mode.

Use status information to
evaluate measurement
validity

The transmitter updates status information about the current measurement,
and this status information is available as a bitfield register through Modbus
communication.
By monitoring the status information it is possible to determine if the current
measurement output value is valid. See “Common Modbus Host
Configuration” on page 1-25 for details about the individual status bits.

Use Heartbeat to detect
errors

By reading and evaluating the Heartbeat value from the device, it is possible
to verify that the communication link between the transmitter, HMC, RTU and
even the control system communicating with the RTU is working.
Assign Heartbeat to one of the transmitter variables (SV, TV, or QV).
Heartbeat is increased by one for each measurement cycle in the device (until
it eventually starts over at zero again).
In case this value is not updated, it means that the communication link is
broken.

COMMON MODBUS
HOST CONFIGURATION

Rosemount 5300/5400 Series
When using Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII, the registers to receive status
and variables must be configured in the host system.
The transmission of single-precision (4 bytes) IEEE 754 floating point
numbers can be rearranged in different byte orders specified by the Floating
Point Format Code. The format code information, stated for each Remote
Terminal Unit (RTU) respectively, specifies which registers to poll from the
5300/5400 transmitter in order for the RTU to correctly interpret floating point
numbers. The byte transmission order for each format code is demonstrated
in Table 1-12 below.

Order is specified by the Floating
Point Format Code

NOTE
Some Modbus hosts cannot read the information described here using Input
Registers (Modbus function code 4). The Input Register information can also
be read using Holding Register (Function code 3). In this case, Input Register
number + 5000 is used as Holding Register number.
Between host system and device, it is recommended to use 60 seconds or
less between polls, and three retries.

Input Registers

The register area starting with 1300 can be configured to have any of the four
format codes. The configuration is done by setting FloatingPointFormatCode
register (holding register 3000) to 0-3, as shown in Table 1-12. This
configuration can be done with the Rosemount Radar Master program.
NOTE
Depending on the slave number the 5300/5400 transmitter is using, different
registers must be used with the default slave number being 1. Slave number
is determined by the HART address.

SPECIFIC MODBUS
HOST CONFIGURATION

The Remote Terminal Unit needs to be configured to communicate and
correctly interpret data when reading input registers from the Rosemount
5300/5400 transmitter.
Baud Rate
The specified Baud Rates below are recommendations. If other Baud Rates
are used, make sure that the 5300/5400 and the RTU are configured for the
same communication speed.
Floating Point Format Code
See Section “Common Modbus Host Configuration” on page 1-25.
RTU Data Type
The RTU Data Type specifies which configuration to use in the RTU in order
for the RTU to correctly interpret a floating point number transmitted from the
5300/5400 transmitter with Modbus.
Input Register Base Number
Data registers in the 5300/5400 transmitter with Modbus are numbered
exactly as they are transmitted in the Modbus communication. Some RTUs
use different naming conventions and to configure the RTU to poll the correct
registers from the 5300/5400 Modbus, an Input Register Base Number is
stated for each RTU respectively. E.g. if the input register base number is 1
for the RTU, the 5300/5400 Modbus input register 1302 has to be entered in
the RTU address as input register 1303.
