KROHNE M8E Converter HART 0101 - Manual (Page 7)

5 Asset Management Solutions (AMS)
5.1 Installation
If the M8E Device Description is not already installed on the AMS System a so called Installation Kit M8E HART AMS
is needed (available on floppy disk from KROHNE or as download from KROHNE Internet page).
For installing the DD with the Installation Kit refer to the “AMS User's Guide” section 3: ”Managing HART Devices” /
“Adding new Device Types to AMS” / “Install Device Types Manually”.
5.2 Operating
Refer to the M8E Menu Tree AMS (Attachment B).
Due to AMS requirements and conventions the M8E operation differs a little from operation with HC275/FC375 and
via local keypad.
The online help of each parameter contains its function number as a reference to the device’s local display and the
“Installation and Operating Instructions”.
Due to implementation peculiarities (refer to section 3, DDL) after the “Configuration Properties...” view is open, its
‘Process Input’ tab has empty fields for format specifiers (also local DDL variables). That is normal: AMS does not
initialize the local variables, their default values are used after downloading.
6 Process Device Management (PDM)
6.1 Installation
If the M8E Device Description is not already installed on the PDM System a so called Device Install is needed
(available on floppy disk from KROHNE or as download from KROHNE Internet page).
Before installing the DD with the Installation Kit, please read the “readme.txt”, which is also contained in the Device
Install.
6.2 Operating
Refer to the M8E Menu Tree PDM (Attachment C-E).
Due to PDM requirements and conventions the M8E operation differs a little from operation with HC275/FC375 and
via local keypad.
The online help of each parameter contains its function number as a reference to the device’s local display and the
“Installation and Operating Instructions”.
