4 Calibration with pc application
ValveGURU is a collection of software solutions to increase production and reduce failure rates.
Using HART® communication and advanced FDT/DTM (Field Device Tool/Device Type Manager)
technology, SmartCal can be connected to a pc and configured on-line.
To make the connection, a pc and a HART® interface modem are required (item
9505HG1XX2MXXXX). The HART® interface can be connected either directly to pin TP1 and TP2 of
the SmartCal, or parallel to the 4-20 mA controls. For the connection to the 4-20 mA controls, see
the schematic in appendix D.
The SmartCal DTM can be used with several FDT frame applications. If you don’t have any,
you can use the PACTware configuration included on the AVID® SmartCal FDT/DTM CD. After
installation of the software, you must create a project as in the following example:
Select the SmartCal with the right-hand mouse button to display the selection menu.
Before starting configuration of the SmartCal, you must download the current configuration.
Select <connect> and <load from device>. All parameters are now downloaded from the SmartCal
and are available for editing.
