TRANSMITTERS FOR USE IN INDUSTRIAL-PROCESS
CONTROL SYSTEMS –
Part 1: Methods for performance evaluation
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60770-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 65B: Devices, of
technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement and control.
It cancels and replaces IEC 60770, published in 1984.
This standard should be read in conjunction with IEC 61298-1, IEC 61298-2, IEC 61298-3 and
IEC 61298-4.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
65B/361/FDIS 65B/376/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
Annex A is for information only.

TRANSMITTERS FOR USE IN INDUSTRIAL-PROCESS
CONTROL SYSTEMS –
Part 1: Methods for performance evaluation
1 Scope and object
This part of IEC 60770 is applicable to transmitters which have either a standard analogue
electric current output signal or a standard pneumatic output signal in accordance with
IEC 60381-1 or IEC 60382. The tests detailed herein may be applied to transmitters which have
other output signals, provided that due allowance is made for such differences.
For certain types of transmitters where the sensor is an integral part, other specific IEC or ISO
standards may need to be consulted (e.g. for chemical analysers, flowmeters, etc.)
This standard is intended to specify uniform methods of test for the evaluation of the
performance of transmitters with pneumatic or electric output signals.
The methods of evaluation specified in this standard are intended for use by manufacturers to
determine the performance of their products and by users or independent testing establish-
ments to verify manufacturers' performance specifications.
The test conditions defined in this standard, for example the range of ambient temperatures
and power supply, represent those which commonly arise in use. Consequently, the values
specified herein should be used where no other values are specified by the manufacturer.
The tests specified in this standard are not necessarily sufficient for instruments specifically
designed for unusually arduous or safety related duties. Conversely, a restricted series of test
may be suitable for instruments designed to perform within a more limited range of conditions.
When a full evaluation in accordance with this standard is not required, those tests which are
required shall be performed and the results reported in accordance with those parts of the
standard which are relevant.
2 Normative references

3 Definitions
For the purpose of this part of IEC 60770, the definitions given in IEC 60902 together with the
additional definitions below, apply. Many of these definitions are also quoted in IEC 61298.
3.1
zero adjustment
means provided in an instrument to cause a parallel shift in the input-output curve
3.2
maximum measured error
largest positive or negative value of error of the average upscale or downscale value at each
point of measurement [IEC 61298-1:1995, 3.9]
3.3
step response time
time from a step change in the input signal to a system for the change in output of the system
to reach for the first time 90 % of its final steady state value (see IEC 60902, figure 1-2)
[IEC 61298-1:1995, 3.19]
4 General conditions for tests
For the purpose of this standard, the general test conditions (e.g. environmental test
conditions, supply conditions, load conditions, mounting position, externally induced vibrations,
external mechanical constraints, constancy of the operating conditions and settings, input
variable quality, delivery of the transmitter, etc.) specified in IEC 61298-1 apply, together with
the additional information below.
NOTE – It is desirable that the closest communication should be maintained between the manufacturer and the
evaluating body. The manufacturer's specifications for the instrument should be taken into account when the test
programme is being decided, and the manufacturer should be invited to comment on both the test programmes and
the results.
4.1 Supply conditions
For the two-wire transmitters the normal supply voltage is 24 V d.c.

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

SIST EN 60770-1:2001
60770-1 © IEC:1999 – 13 –
Tolerances on supply conditions, as given in IEC 61298-1, are not applicable to transmitters
with self-contained power supplies (e.g. battery-powered). The tolerance for battery-powered
equipment shall be agreed.
4.2 Load conditions
The value of the load to be used shall be agreed. A load of 250 Ω is a commonly used value
for electrical transmitters. Care should be taken to ensure that pneumatic connections are
leak-tight.
4.3 Input variable quality
For transmitters that are to be evaluated with an integral sensor, the conditions and
requirements for maintaining the quantities to be measured (physical/chemical) shall be
properly stated (e.g. for flow transmitters, the fluid through the measuring device shall be that
specified by the manufacturer; the temperature of the fluid shall be maintained within ±2 °C of
the value specified in order to ensure the correct values of density and viscosity).
5 Analysis and classification of transmitter performance
In determining the test programme and test values to be used in the evaluation, the physical
and functional design of transmitter should be taken into account.
Guidance on this process can be found in annex A.
6 General testing procedures and precautions
For the purpose of this standard, the general testing procedures and precautions (e.g.
identification and inspection, preparation for the tests, uncertainty of the measuring system,
traceability, tapping, setting of adjustments, preconditioning, sequence of tests, interruption
and duration of each series of measurements, anomalies and failures during tests, re-start of a
test, input/output variable relationships, error assessment, symbols and units of measurement,
etc.) specified in IEC 61298-1 shall be applied. The instrument shall be calibrated by the
manufacturer and tested without recalibration. Then additional measurements should be made
at the lowest and highest possible span and the remainder of the tests should be carried out at
the mean value.
7 Test procedures and reporting
The tests given in table 1, 2 and 3 are suitable for industrial process transmitters. If a full
evaluation is planned, each applicable test should be conducted. The results should be
reported as a percentage of the output span. Unexpected events, including faults and
malfunctions, shall be reported.
The test procedures and precautions are described in detail in IEC 61298-2 and IEC 61298-3.

or ageing is anticipated.
NOTE 1 – For transmitters with analogue output, which include smart options, the adjustment of zero and span
can be obtained either locally or by remote device (e.g. computer, hand terminal). These instruments may be
equipped with facilities for “blind calibration”. In this case no accurate test device is needed for the adjustment of
zero and span.
For this type of transmitter some manufacturers specify also the inaccuracy of the transmitter after the blind
calibration. This type of inaccuracy may differ from the inaccuracy of an instrument calibrated against a standard
test device. It can be considered as a new function to be evaluated.
NOTE 2 – For the purpose of this test and unless otherwise specified for a particular type of transmitter, the
measurement cycles shall be at least three but preferably five and the test points six (0 %, 20 %, 40 %, 60 %,
80 %, 100 % input span) or eleven (0 %, 10 %, 20 %, 30 %, 40 %, 50 %, 60 %, 70 %, 80 %, 90 %, 100 % input
span). For instruments with a non-linear input-output relationship (e.g. square law), the test points should be
chosen so as to obtain output values equally distributed over the output span.
NOTE 3 – Unless the dead band is known to be insignificant, it shall be measured at 10 %, 50 % and 90 % of the
span, proceeding as follows:
a) set the input at the first test point (e.g. 10 %);
b) note the input value;
c) slowly increase the input variable to the transmitter until a detectable output change is observed;
d) note the input value and repeat the operation in the opposite direction as specified in IEC 61298-2.
The increment through which the input signal is varied (difference between d) and b) above) is the dead band at
this point.
Repeat steps c) and d), slowly increasing the input again until a detectable output change is observed and noting
the input value: the increments shall be observed and recorded at least three times, and preferably five times, at
each of three test points close to 10 %, 50 % and 90 % of the span, over a full-range traverse.
This procedure shall be repeated, at each of the three test points (close to 90 %, 50 % and 10 % of span),
decreasing the input variable starting from 90 % of the span.

Table 1 (concluded)
NOTE 4 – If it is not practicable to generate a sinusoidal signal to be applied to the input of certain transmitters,
(flow, integrally mounted sensor transmitters, etc.) this test should be not performed.
For pneumatic transmitters, unless otherwise specified, a test load consisting of an 8 m long rigid pipe with a
3
4 mm internal diameter, followed by a 20 cm capacity, shall be used. Lower amplitudes may be necessary to
investigate the full bandwidth capability.
NOTE 5 – Where practicable, the data should be measured each day and processed to determine a best fit
straight line and verify if there is a drift in one direction or a random drift.
NOTE 6 – When possible, for smart transmitters with analogue output operated by a transmitter terminal (or by
computer), any effects of influence quantities on the communication (during the execution of function) shall be
verified.

Table 2 (concluded)
NOTE 1 – The test shall be carried out on the powered transmitter.
NOTE 2 – If no values are specified, the output load for milliampere outputs shall be varied gradually from short
circuit to open circuit and for volt outputs shall be varied from open circuit to short circuit.
NOTE 3 – On transmitters, the input to which is an electrical voltage, the change in output caused by varying the
resistance in the test input circuit from the minimum value specified by the manufacturer to the maximum value
shall be measured. The resistance shall be distributed equally in each line (input terminal).
NOTE 4 – Refer also to IEC 61000-4-11.
NOTE 5 – For smart transmitters with analogue output, the effect of the supply voltage interruptions on the output
may depend on the point in the cycle of the transmitter at which the interruption occurs.
NOTE 6 – Refer also to IEC 61000-4-16.
NOTE 7 – Refer also to IEC 61000-4-4.
NOTE 8 – Refer also to IEC 61000-4-5.
NOTE 9 – This test shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of IEC 61000-4-12 at a test voltage
specified by the manufacturer or at 1 kV peak (common mode) with frequency of 1 MHz; the test shall be repeated
with a frequency of 0,1 MHz.
The input level of the transmitters shall be held at a value which produces 50 % output signal.
The damped oscillatory waves are induced by means of a coupling network defined in IEC 61000-4-12.
During the test, any changes in output due to burst disturbance shall be recorded, as well as any damage caused
to the transmitter.
NOTE 10 – This test shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of IEC 61000-4-6 at a test voltage
level specified by the manufacturer or at 10 V r.m.s. unmodulated with frequency from 0,15 MHz to 80 MHz.
