Menus and functions
The HART Communicator is a menu driven system. Each screen provides a menu of options that can be
selected as outlined above, or provides direction for input of data, warnings, messages, or other
instructions.
C.4.1
Main menu
When the HART Communicator is turned on, one of two menus will appear. If the HART Communicator is
connected to an operating loop, the communicator will find the device and display the
ONLINE MENU
(see below). If not connected to a loop, the communicator will indicate that no device was found. When
pressing
OK
(
F4
), it will display the
MAIN
menu.
The
MAIN
menu provides the following options:
Offline
–provides access to offline configuration data and simulation functions
Online
–checks for a device and if it finds one, brings up the ONLINE MENU
Transfer
–provides access to options for transferring data either from the HART Communicator
(memory) to the transmitter (device) or vice versa; transfer is used to move offline data from the HART
Communicator to the transmitter, or to retrieve data from a transmitter for offline revision
Note
Online communication with the transmitter automatically loads the current transmitter data to the
HART Communicator. Changes in online data are made active by pressing
SEND
(
F2
). The transfer
function is used only for offline data retrieval and sending.
Frequency Device
–displays the frequency output and corresponding pressure output of
current-to-pressure transmitters (not applicable to the Rosemount 3051N)
Utility
–provides access to the contrast control for the HART Communicator LCD display screen and to
the autopoll setting used in multidrop applications
Note
Although the Rosemount 3051N has multi-drop capability, which is a HART protocol feature, the
Rosemount 3051N is not qualified/dedicated for use in multi-drop mode.
Once selecting a
MAIN
menu option, the HART Communicator provides the information needed to
complete the operation. If further details are required, consult the HART Communicator Manual.
Do not use inductive-based transient protectors.
