Operating the field indicator
6.1
Quick operation guide
Operators have two options for configuring and commissioning the device:
1. Configuration programs
Device-specific parameters are configured via the E+H Service interface (CDI). A special
device driver (DTM) for an FDT operating program (e.g. DeviceCare, FieldCare) is available
for this purpose → 24.
The DTM file is available for download via: www.endress.com/download → Enter product
root → Media type "Software" and "Device drivers".
2. Miniature switches (DIP switches) for local configuration
You can make the following settings for the fieldbus interface using miniature switches
(DIP switches) on the electronics module → 25:
• Setting to specify whether operation is possible via DIP switches or remotely via the DTM
• Setting for the address of the bus users whose values are to be displayed
• Configuring an offset

Only 2 display values can be configured when operating via the DIP switches.
6.1.1
Listener mode
The field indicator acts solely as a listener, i.e. it does not appear in the bus as an active
user with its own specific address and it also does not increase the traffic in the bus.
The field indicator analyzes the devices active on the bus. Via their addresses these devices
can be assigned to up to 8 channels if DTM operation is used, or up to 2 channels in the
case of operation with DIP switches.
Operation via the PROFIBUS protocol is not possible given the sole listener function of
the indicator!
