Simulation Mode
The HART Communicator provides a mode that allows
you to simulate an online connection to a specific
HART compatible device. The simulation mode is a
training tool that enables you to become familiar with
a device before configuring it in a critical environment.
Access the simulation mode through the Utility Menu.
Save
Save allows you to quickly store the current configura-
tion data under the current Tag, Descriptor, or Name
by pressing the F2 key when appears as a
dynamic label. Save As lets the user store configura-
tion data under a user-specified Name Location
(Memory Module or Fisher- R o s e m o u nt data pack 100)
and Data Type (Standard, Partial or Full). Data may be
stored in the Memory Module or in the removable data
pack as a portable, nonvolatile file.
Data Type
The HART Communicator allows you to specify which
variables to save under the current configuration.
The three choices are:
● Standard —The set of all editable variables defining
a new device configuration.
● Partial— The set of all marked device variables.
● Full —The set of all variables.
Note: It is necessary to save a full configuration
if the data is to be transferred to AMS.
Polling
The HART protocol allows for the connection of multi-
ple HART devices on a single twisted pair of wires, or
over leased telephone lines. This concept is known as
“multidropping”. A single HART Communicator can
interface with multiple devices on one transmission
line. Communication between a host and a
multidropped device takes place digitally, with the
analog output fixed. In a multidrop installation, each
device is identified by a unique address (1-15). Use the
Auto Poll option to direct the HART Communicator to
search for a connected device at an address other than
zero. When Auto Polling is on, the communicator finds
every device in the loop and lists them by tag.
Hazardous Locations Certifications
The HART Communicator meets the Intrinsic Safety
requirements of the listed regulatory agencies.
Selecting one of the Hazardous Locations
Certification options provides for the required
labeling and information on the HART Communicator
The approval options currently offered include:
● (BASEEFA)/CENELEC - Intrinsic Safety Certification
● Factory Mutual (FM) - Intrinsic Safety Approval
● Canadian Standards Association (CSA) -
Intrinsic Safety Approval
Memory Module
The Memory Module is programmed with the operating
system software and the application software for a desired
set of HART compatible devices. This allows you to easily
expand the capability of your HART Communicator as
new field devices and product enhancements become
available. The Memory Module also stores device configu-
ration data for up to 10 HART compatible devices.
Fisher-Rosemount data pack 100
The data pack 100 allows the user to store up to 100
device configurations in removable, nonvolatile memory.
Users can easily store configuration data for all their
HART devices on a small number of data packs. Each data
pack easily fits in the palm of your hand or shirt pocket.
The data pack is installed at the top end of the memory
module and can be simply accessed by removing the
battery pack.
