System and method to configure a flow algorithm automatically by using a primary element data sheet in multivariable smart line transmitters

A method for configuring a flow algorithm by using a primary element data sheet in a multivariable transmitter, comprising:

• receiving a datasheet and an algorithm related to a device in an industrial process and control system;
• selecting an algorithm standard using an interface including an asset/device manager input to provide a data sheet input and a data sheet type input,
• receiving, using the interface, a user initiation to initiate reception of the datasheet and the algorithm including vendor details, primary element data and an algorithm type;
• extracting parameters from the datasheet;
• extracting device description data to prepare a symbol list based on the algorithm;
• mapping parameters to algorithm items related to the algorithm to derive mapped parameter;
• updating the device description data to initiate the update of the underlying database;
• generating a template based on the algorithm items and the mapped parameters;
• populating the template with the algorithm items and the mapped parameters after receiving a user initiation;
• allowing a user associated with the user initiation to validate the template by selecting or deselecting specific items or variables in the template;
• and
• downloading the template to the device.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium encoded with executable instructions for configuring a flow algorithm by using a primary element data sheet in a multivariable transmitter that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:

• receive a datasheet and an algorithm related to a device in an industrial process and control system;
• select an algorithm standard using an interface including an asset/device manager input to provide a datasheet input and a datasheet type input;
• receive, using the interface, a user initiation to initiate reception of the datasheet and the algorithm including vendor details, primary element data and an algorithm type;
