8.5 Field Communicator 475 (FC 475)
The Field Communicator is a hand terminal from Emerson Process Management that is
designed to configure HART
® and Foundation Fieldbus devices. Device Descriptions (DDs) are
used to integrate different devices into the Field Communicator.
8.5.1 Installation
The HART ® Device Description for the signal converter must be installed on the Field
Communicator. Otherwise only the functions of a generic DD are available to the user and the
entire device control is not possible. A "Field Communicator Easy Upgrade Programming Utility"
is required to install the DDs on the Field Communicator.
The Field Communicator must be equipped with a system card with "Easy Upgrade Option". For
details consult the Field Communicator User’s Manual.
8.5.2 Operation
Operating the signal converter via the Field Communicator is very similar to manual device
control using the keyboard.
8.6 Field Device Tool / Device Type Manager (FDT / DTM)
A Field Device Tool Container (FDT Container) is basically a PC program used to configure a field
device via HART
® . To adapt to different devices, the FDT container uses a so-called Device Type
Manager (DTM).
8.6.1 Installation
If the DTM for the signal converter has not yet been installed on the FDT Container, setup is
required and is available for download from the website or on CD-ROM. See the supplied
documentation for information on how to install and set up the DTM.
