Configuration of the field indicator via the interface adapter
When the device is connected the device DTM is not loaded automatically in FieldCare, i.e.
the device must be added manually.
1. First of all add the communication DTM "CDI communication FXA291" to an empty
project.
2. In the settings for the Comm DTM, set the baud rate to 2400 baud and set the COM
port used.
3. Add the device DTM "RID14/16 / Vx.xx.xx" to the project via the "Add device...."
function.
4. Continue the device configuration as described in these Operating Instructions for the
device. All the parameters listed in these Operating Instructions can also be found in
the FieldCare Device Setup. The DTM operating parameters can be found in the
Appendix → 43.
No power should be supplied via the bus if configuring the PROFIBUS PA indicator
with the DTM via the CDI interface!
To ensure a connection to the device can be established, operation must be set to
"Remote" at the DIP switches. Furthermore write protection, which can be enabled and
disabled via the DIP switches, must be disabled so that the parameters of the field
indicator can be modified via the DTM.
The DIP switches are described in the "Operation" section → 25.

Hardware settings
Hardware write protection can be enabled and disabled via DIP switches inside the field
indicator. When write protection is active, parameters cannot be modified.
The current write protection status is displayed in the WRITE_LOCK parameter → 48.

ESD - Electrostatic Discharge
Protect the terminals from electrostatic discharge. Failure to observe this may result in destruction or
malfunction of parts of the electronics.
