Supplementary Installation and Operating Instructions IFC110 HART
HC275, AMS, PDM
3 Implementation Peculiarities
Variables and functions/processes of the Service Menu are not maintained by the instrument HART® application
layer. Still a subset of service parameters is transferred via bus (only reading is possible): it applies to variables that
control the limits, availability, etc. of maintenance data.
4 HART Communicator 275 (HC275)
4.1 Installation
The HC275 has to be programmed with the IFC110 HART Device Description. Otherwise the HC275 user will work
with the instrument as a generic one thus loosing opportunity for entire instrument control.
4.2 Operating
Refer to the IFC110 Menu Tree HC275 (Attachment A).
The IFC110 operation via HC275 is made quite close to the manual instrument control via 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”.
Parameter protection via password (Entry Code) is the same as on local display. Please refer to the online help for
valid symbols according to device’s keypad.
While saving configuration to HC275 from connected instrument, some crucial service variables (refer to section 2)
are also stored. Hence in the offline mode their values cannot be changed (and will not be sent to device), but are
shown to HC275 user and control assignments for maintenance data.
As soon as service functionality is not available via HART transmitter, the difference between “standard
configuration” of HC275 and its “full configuration” consists in some read-only parameters (sensor limits, device
modules’ IDs, etc.) that are either transferred to AMS (“full configuration”) or are shown on AMS tabs as empty fields
(“standard configuration”).
5 Asset Management Solutions (AMS)
5.1 Installation
If the IFC110 Device Description is not already installed on the AMS System a so called Installation Kit IFC110 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 IFC110 Menu Tree AMS (Attachment B).
Due to AMS requirements and conventions the IFC110 operation differs a little from operation with HC275 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”.
Parameter protection via password (Entry Code) is the same as on local display. Please refer to the online help for
valid symbols according to device’s keypad.
