Introduction
This document indicates how to setup and configure Rosemount 5708 3D Solids Scanner with
Ovation using the Ethernet Link Controller (ELC) module. Configuration details are included for
the physical network, Ovation Developer Studio, ELC protocol configuration tool, and
Rosemount 3DMultiVision™ Client. Ethernet data links not utilizing the ELC module is not
discussed in this document; however the principle is the same. Refer to the Redundant Modbus®
Interface User Guide for Ovation Windows Platform, CON_020, for more information.
The ELC protocol configuration tool interfaces with the ELC module - a necessary component for
one of the setups which Ovation communicates with the Rosemount 3DMultiVision server
through. This software typically resides on the database server. Ovation configuration is
performed on the database server or any machine that has access to the Ovation Developer
Studio; Rosemount 3DMultiVision configuration is performed on an application station.
After the configuration is complete, Ovation and Rosemount 3DMultiVision Server/Client will be
able to run in parallel when using an ELC module. The level variables will be able to be accessed
by the controller for indication and used on control sheets/graphics in Ovation. The application
station will be able to use the Rosemount 3DMultiVision software to setup the Rosemount 3D
Solids Scanner, show detail curves, and monitor values.

1.2
Specifications
The configuration presented here has been verified with the following specifications:

Ovation version 3.5.1

Ethernet Link Controller version 1.3

Rosemount 3DMultiVision version 2.3.020
The device can also be directly connected to an ELC or RLC module via 2-wire RS485 serial
connection. However, a serial connection prevents the Rosemount 3DMultiVision software
from being used in parallel.
1.3
Hardware overview
Figure 1-1 depicts a basic layout utilizing one Rosemount 3D Solids Scanner. The
RS485-to-TCP/IP converter, Rosemount 3DMultiVision Server, Database Server, and the ELC
module should all be connected to a switch. For simplicity sake, this example will connect all
of the Ethernet connections to one root switch; including the Ovation controllers. Based on
security or redundancy requirements, your configuration may differ.
Although the Rosemount 3D Solids Scanner has a 2-wire RS485 serial connection, due to
the RS485-to-TCP/IP converter, Ovation will treat the communication as a Modbus Ethernet
link. On top of receiving the Rosemount 3D Solids Scanner data, the Rosemount
3DMultiVision Server will act as a Modbus Master. It will poll the Rosemount 3D Solids
Scanner and allow Modbus Slave Connections to read the Modbus registers from the
Rosemount 3DMultiVision Server. The ELC module in this configuration will act as a Modbus
Slave and will connect to the Rosemount 3DMultiVision Server's IP address, not the
RS485-to-TCP/IP’s IP address.
1.4
Wiring setup
Note
An external power supply is required to power the Rosemount 5708 3D Solids Scanner.
1.
Connect the power to the terminations on the scanner labeled “PWR IN”.
A hard wired 4-20mA signal can be sent to an Ovation analog input module.
Specific details on how to assign and configure the hardwired point is not covered
in this document, however it should be mentioned that the point should be wired
for a FIELD powered device. This typically means moving the jumpers on the
Ovation analog input personality module.
The Rosemount 3D Solids Scanner has a 2-wire RS485 connection. Multiple
Rosemount 5708 may be connected together in parallel and still have one RS485
connection. The 3D Scanner Reference Manual provide specific information as to
how this is accomplished. As stated above, a RS485-to-TCP/IP converter is required
to use the points in Ovation and the Rosemount 3DMultiVision software in parallel.

2.
Connect the positive terminal on the scanner to the positive terminal on the
converter; and the negative terminal on the scanner to the negative terminal on the
converter.
Note
You must use a120 Ω resistor at each end of the connection or the Modbus communication
will have errors.
1.5
Network setup
To be able to run Rosemount 3DMultiVision software simultaneously with Ovation, set up a
network switch connected to the Ovation controllers, the Ovation Database Server, the
Ovation Operator Station, and the ELC module. The Ovation Operator Station will be the
station running the Rosemount 3DMultiVision software.
Note
The Rosemount 3D Solids Scanner uses a serial communication link to the network. An
RS485 to TCP/IP converter is required to connect the device to the network switch. Again
depending on security requirements, a field LAN router may be needed in between the
converter and the root switch.
In this example, we will assume the equipment is all in the 172.28.2.xxx range with the
subnet of 255.255.255.0.

Configuring Rosemount 3DMultiVision
software to be Modbus Master

Supports Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP.

Not include 3D Picture option.
To configure SCADA ports:
1.
Inside the Rosemount 3DMultiVision Program go to Tools > Server Options… > Scada
Configuration.
2.
Select the Scada Configuration option.
a. Select a Port Number (e.g. 7040).
Note
This port will be same for the Ovation ELC configuration.
b. Select Modbus RTU. The ELC Module does not communicate with the
Rosemount 3DMultiVision server via Modbus TCP.
c. 3D Image File Path: This path will hold the 3D Image file which the
VisualVision3DViewer will read from there (You can leave it empty, so it will use
the local default path). It's required to set a different path for each port. If the
directory (folder) does not exist, you will need to create it. In this example, we
will use C:\DirectoryFor3DImage, however you may need to set the path to be
on a mapped (Z:\) drive so that it may be accessed by all operators. When the
ELC module sends a request for register 49990, the Rosemount 3DMultiVision
server receives that request and generates a .enc file.
d. Confirm by selecting Apply button.

Viewing the 3D image viewer from a graphic
To display the viewer manually:
1.
Open Command Line.
2.
Write this command (according to the specific port you want to view):

The 3D Image File Path From Rosemount 3DVision Scada Configuration = The
3D Image File Path from the SCADA configuration screen in the Rosemount
3DVision.
If the path is empty, remove the The 3D Image File Path From Rosemount
3DVision Scada Configuration expression from the command.

ID_Num = Vessel Index (ID number from the device configuration)
(Win 7 - 64Bit)
“C:\Program Files (x86)\3DVisionEmrsn\binClient\bin\VisualVision3DViewer.exe” “The 3D
Image File Path From 3DVision Scada Configuration” ID_Num;
(Win XP)
“C:\Program Files\3DVisionEmrsn\binClient\bin\VisualVision3DViewer.exe” “The 3D Image
File Path From 3DVision Scada Configuration” ID_Num;
To display the viewer from an Ovation graphic:
A button or poke field can be configured in a graphic that will display the 3D image of the
vessel, however Ovation command line calls do not support parameters after the exe file. To
get around this a batch (.bat) file can be created.
1.
Create a batch file.
a. Open Notepad and enter:
Start “” “C:\Program Files
(x86)\3DVisionEmrsn\binClient\bin\VisualVision3DViewer.exe”
C:\DirectoryFor3DImage 1
Exit
where C:\DirectoryFor3DImage = the path specified in the Rosemount
3DMultiVision Server Scada configuration and 1 = the vessel number.
b. Save the file as a .bat in C:\DirectoryFor3DImage (or the directory of your
choice). Example: 3dimage.bat
Note
This is the file the Ovation graphic will open.
2.
Open the graphic in the graphic editor where you would like to create a button.
a. Select on the button icon to create a new button. This will bring up the button
configuration GUI.
