Software Configuration 

Consult the FBxConnect online help for full details. What follows is an overview of the steps: 

1.

 

From the Configure tab in FBxConnect, click I/O Setup > HART. 

 

2.

 

Select the HART channel you want to configure; there are four HART channels per module. 

3.

 

If this channel is an analog input, click the Configuration tab to configure the AI. 

4.

 

Specify whether this is a Primary or Secondary HART Master in the HART Master Type field. 

5.

 

Enable the Termination Resistor if required. 

6.

 

Choose the HART Comm Mode: 

 

If you have a single HART device on the channel, select Point to Point 

 

If multiple devices are multi-dropped on the channel, select Multidrop and specify the 
Number of Devices. 

7.

 

Click Save. If you chose Multidrop, the HART menu creates a button for each of the devices. 

8.

 

Click on the Device button to configure the HART device on this channel. 

 

9.

 

Select the variables you want to poll from the device, then click Save and Close the screen. 

If this channel uses multi-drop, repeat steps 8 and 9 for any unconfigured devices.
