Introduction
This appendix provides basic communicator information on the 275, 375, and 475 HART
®
Communicators when used with a Rosemount
™
3051N Smart Pressure Transmitter. The 275, 375, and
475 HART Communicators are not qualified, but may be used as Measurement and Test Equipment
(MTE) as documented in Rosemount Report D2001019.
When the HART Communicator is referenced, it refers to the 275, 375, or 475 Field Communicator.
This brief appendix will familiarize you with the HART Communicator but is not meant to replace the
HART Communicator User's Manual. For additional information on the HART Communicator, refer to the
275 HART Communicator Product Manual (publication number 00275-8026-0001), 375 User's Manual,
or 475 User's Manual.
Note
The HART Communicator software may need updating to take advantage of all features of the
Rosemount 3051N. If initiating communication with a Rosemount 3051N using a communicator that
has a previous version of the transmitter Device Descriptors (DDs), the communicator will display the
following message:
Notice: Upgrade software to access XMTR function. Continue with old description?
If
YES
is selected, the communicator will communicate properly with the transmitter using the existing
Rosemount 3051N DDs. However, software features added since the revision of the DDs in the
communicator will not be accessible. If
NO
is selected, the communicator will default to a generic
transmitter functionality. Contact Rosemount Nuclear Instruments, Inc. at (952) 949-5210.
