Get HART Device Information
When a HART device is first connected to the module, the module will send a series of
HART commands to retrieve information about the device. This device information is
held in the module’s cache memory and can be retrieved by sending an unconnected CIP
message. The following table lists the commands that are sent by the module when the
device is first connected.

Commands sent at Initial device connection
Command: Definition: Comment:

If the connected HART device’s configuration changes, the device will set the
”configuration changed” bit (i.e. bit 6 of the Field Device Status byte). When the IExCH
detects that the “configuration changed” bit is high, it will automatically re-send the
appropriate HART commands to refresh the device information stored in its cache
memory. See Table 4-6. The first command sent is command 38 which will reset the
“configuration changed” bit in the device.
The CFG (device configuration changed) bit was added to the IExCH input assembly to
