5.3.3 Burst mode
The 8732EM includes a burst mode function that can be enabled to broadcast the primary
variable or all dynamic variables approximately three to four times per second. Burst mode is a
specialized function used in very specific applications. The burst mode function enables you to
select the variables that are broadcast while in the burst mode.
Burst mode enables you to set the burst mode as OFF or ON:
OFF - Turns burst mode off; no data are broadcast over the loop
ON - Turns burst mode on; data selected under burst option are broadcast over the loop
Additional command options may appear that are reserved and do not apply to the 8732EM.
Burst option (burst command)
Burst option enables you to select the variable(s) that is broadcast during the transmitter burst.
Choose one of the following options:
1; PV; Primary Variable - Selects the primary variable
2; % range/current; Percent of Range and Loop Current - Selects the variable as
percent of range and analog output
3; Process vars/crnt; All Variables and Loop Current - Selects all variables and analog
output
110; Dynamic vars; Dynamic Variables - Burst all dynamic variables in the transmitter
Request preambles
Request preambles is the number of preambles required by the 8732EM for HART communica-
tions.
