MENU DESCRIPTIONS
(See HART Communicator Menu on page 52)
MENU 1 -- Online
When communications are established with
the communicator, the Online menu is displayed.
1 Functions
: The link to the menu tree.
2 Position
: The output shaft position displayed
as a percent of range.
3 Demand
: The Demand signal displayed as a
percent of range.
4 Loop (Dem)
: The Demand signal measured
in mA.
5 Trq/Thrust
: The present torque value as
applied to the output shaft (optional).
6 Temp
: The ambient temperature of the DCM-2.
7 Feedback
: The mA output signal representing
the present position of the output shaft.
MENU 2 -- Functions
From the Functions menu, any of the DCM-2
functional menus can be selected and accessed.
There are seven functional areas: Setup Checklist,
Device Information, Configuration, Statistics,
Manual Operation, Diagnostics, and Calibration
Trim.
MENU 3A -- Setup Checklist
The Setup Checklist provides a quick way
for the user to setup the most important items
necessary for basic actuator operation without
having to move through multiple sub-menus.
These items are defined on the following pages in
their specific menu locations.
MENU 3B -- Device Information
The Device Information menu provides
information about the actuator. There are ten
useful information entries that may be viewed and/
or edited.
1 Tag
: An 8 character entry that can be used to
identify a specific field device label.
2 Descriptor
: A 16 character field that can be
used to provide any description desired.
3 Message
: A 32 character field that can be
used to provide any message desired.
4 Model#
: Displays the model number of the
actuator in which the DCM-2 is installed.
This field may be edited. Note that changing
this field may cause the “Use Default Setup”
command to not function.
5 Drive S/N
: The Serial number as shown on
the actuator nameplate. When configured,
this will automatically change the actuator
model number (see previous item).
6 Instld
: Installation date of the actuator or
DCM-2.
7 Setup
: The setup date has no affect on
actuator operation.
8 Calbrtd
: The calibration date has no affect on
actuator operation.
9 Review
: Link to the Review menu.
10 Poll addr
: Used to find the actuator. Most
configurations should use "0".
MENU 4A -- Review
The Review menu displays many of the
configured parameters in a read-only format.
This menu may help ensure that the DCM-2 is
configured as desired.
MENU 3C -- Configuration
The Configuration menu serves as the
gateway to all of the actuator operating parameters
that can be used to configure the actuator based
on the desired operation.
1 General Setup:
Link.
2 PositionSensrSetup:
Link.
3 Demand Setup
: Link.
4 Feedback Setup
: Link.
5 Torque Setup
: Link.
6
Restore to Factory
: Restores field-configurable
parameters back to the settings in effect when
the DCM-2 was shipped from the factory.
7 Use Default Setup
: Changes the DCM-2
position sensing voltage ranges to the proper
ranges for the actuator model.
MENU 4B -- General Setup
This menu sets actuator operating parameters.
The nine parameter entries are as follows:
1 Drive Dir
: The direction the output shaft
rotates (looking into the output shaft) in
response to an increasing Demand signal.
2 MaxTravel
: The maximum available travel
distance of the output shaft in degrees. This
number corresponds to the actuator design—
if the correct Serial Number is entered, this
parameter is set to 100° and should not be
changed.
