  1. Start the Wiring module.

  2. On the main menu bar, Select Tables > Segment-Wide Parameter Profiles.

  3. In the Segment-Wide Parameter Profiles dialog, Select New.

  4. In the Segment-Wide Parameter Profiles Properties dialog, Select the General tab, and do the following:

    1. In the Name box, type a unique name for the profile.

    2. In the Description box, type a description for the profile.

    3. Select the profile as Default, or leave it clear.

    SHARED Tip If selected, when you add a new segment, this profile will be the default setting associated with the new segment.

  5. In the Maximum number of devices group box, do the following:

    1. Per spur — Type the maximum number of tag numbers that can be connected with one spur.

    2. Per segment — Type the maximum number of tag numbers that can be associated with one segment.

    3. Per intrinsically safe (IS) segment — Type the maximum number of tag numbers that can be associated with one intrinsically safe segment.

  6. In the Maximum number of assigned function blocks group box, do the following:

    1. Per I/O card — Type the maximum number of function blocks that can be associated with one I/O card.

    2. Per segment — Type the maximum number of function blocks that can be associated with one segment.

  7. In the Electrical parameters group box, do the following:

    1. Power supply — Type the available voltage source value, in volts.

    2. Minimum receiver voltage — Type the minimum receiver voltage value that can be read by a DCS, in volts.

    3. Allowable current per non IS segment — Type the maximum allowable value for the current consumption in the non-intrinsic safety segments, in milliamperes.

    4. Allowable current per IS segment — Type the maximum allowable value for the current consumption in the intrinsic safety segments, in milliamperes.

    5. Maximum capacitance — Type the maximum allowable segment capacitance in the unit of measure selected at right.

  8. Select the Cable Lengths tab.

  9. In the Recommended spur cable lengths group box, define the rules for spur cables connecting instruments to home-run cables. Do the following:

    1. Select the required unit of measure (meters or feet).

    2. In the Number of devices per segment columns, type the number of devices per segment for which you want to set the spur lengths. Make sure that you do not exceed the number of devices that you defined in the Maximum number of devices group box.

    3. In the Number of devices per spur columns, type the maximum allowable length of the spur cables for each definition.

    4. You can Select New to add a row, or Delete to delete the row marked by Next icon 16bit.

    5. See Spur Cable Lengths Example.

  10. Select OK to confirm your creation of this profile and return to the Segment-Wide Parameter Profiles dialog.

    SHARED Tip You can return to Step 3 to create an additional segment-wide parameter profile.

  11. Select OK to close the Segment- Wide Parameter Profiles dialog and return to the main window of the Wiring module.
