10 Device Configuration
10.1 Device Description
The models 265 / 267 / 269 FF Pressure Transmitter offers a set of variables available trough
the FF communication. The Master for configuration and maintenance purposes can access the
variables with Read and Write operations each addressed by an Index number. The FF Profile
Standard defines the relative index of each variable, but the Start Index of each block is
Manufacturer specific.

Fig. 10: Device names
In order to allow a full visibility and support of the variables mapped inside the models
265 / 267 / 269 transmitter, it is necessary to import in the Master configuration system the
DD files (.sym, and .ffo). These files together with the Capability file (.cff) are available from the
ABB Instrumentation SpA or directly from the website www.abb.com
.
These registered files have the following names:
- 0201.sym as DD symbol file
- 0201.ffo
- 020101.cff as Capability file
The lists of the variables available on the FF communication are reported in the following tables
with the relevant block where:
IDX → Relative Index of the Variable
PC → Access Type for the variables
Important
Some variables can be changed only if the relevant block is in Out of Service.
The RB the AIFB and the PIDFB are implemented in accordance with the Function Block Part 2
specification Document, the TB is a manufacturer specific implementation.
For details about the meaning of each single variable refer at the FF Function Block
Part 2 (Ref. 1), and at the Transducer Block Application Process Part 2 (Ref. 2).
