Communication with the 5150 Series
4.1 Overview
The communicator provides device specific HART ® communication functions that allow the user to poll,
configure and maintain supported HART ® field devices. The communicator uses Universal, Common
Practice and Device Specific commands to facilitate communication with a HART ® field device. Use the
communicator to commission devices, for operational re-configuration needs, or maintain devices through
analog and sensor trim adjustments. Many other features defined by the device manufacturer are also
supported.
The communicator will communicate with any HART device through Universal and Common Practice
Commands using the standard Generic DD but must have the DD for a specific HART
® device installed
before it can execute Device Specific Commands. When HART ® device support for new devices becomes
available, the communicator software can be easily updated using a PC with an internet connection and
software provided.
