Message - This field allows the user to enter a message in the HART “Message” field. The
value of this field has no effect on the operation of the meter. The message value can be up to
32 characters of alphanumeric text.
Tag - This field allows the user to enter a descriptive name in the HART “Tag” field. The tag
value can be up to 8 characters of alphanumeric text. The tag value can be used to create a
unique addressing string in multi-drop operation. However, the Racine HART Interface does
not support multi-drop communication so the “Tag” field is solely informational.

this field has no affect on the operation of the meter. The descriptor text can be up to 24 char-
acters of alphanumeric text.
