Introduction
Purpose/Scope
This manual is intended to facilitate the use of the Honeywell MC Toolkit communications tool. It is
assumed that the user is skilled in the use and maintenance of process transmitters in process control, or
that he/she is under direct supervision of others with such skills.
The MC toolkit, with MC Toolkit Application Software and SDC 625 Application Software, enables
communication with several types of smart transmitters (pressure, temperature, etc) that are available for
use in the process control industry.
The emphasis of the information in this manual is directed primarily on the features and use of the
MC Toolkit in performing common maintenance tasks relating to transmitter devices, rather than on the
features and installation of specific transmitter devices.
It is recommended that that user should have the appropriate manuals available for specific transmitter
devices. For background information such as HART communications protocol and network wiring, it is
also recommended that the user should obtain publications available from agencies such s the HART
Communication Foundation.
