Field Configurators HARTConf, LHPConf for Transmitters with HART or LHP Communication and HART-USB Modem
can obtain digitally measured data max. three times a second
(in case function 1 Read The First Variable is being sent out).
Nevertheless, access to other parameters is slower.
* Service | Burst Cmd
This command sets a function whose response will be
regularly automatically sent out after entering the burst mode.
In case the instrument supports this mode, only a limited set of
commands can be used. In most cases, only commands 1 and
3 are supported.
Options
Menu of the control of configurator function setting.
* Options | Oper. Mode | Configurator
* Options | Oper. Mode | HART Modem
Switching between basic operating modes of the configurator.
* Options | Power Supply | Int./Ext. | Internal
* Options | Power Supply | Int./Ext. | External
Selection of the power supply mode of the connected
instrument. Selection “Internal” will result in the introduction of
supply voltage to the configurator terminals.
Caution!
Never switch internal supply voltage when the
instrument is supplied externally from the loop!
* Options | Power Supply | Battery Saver
This selection switches on the battery saving mode during
internal supply of the instrument. The supply is switched on
for the time of communication only. Then the saving mode
significantly extends the battery operating period.
* Options | Initialization | by Poll. Addr
* Options | Initialization | by Tag
Communication is initialised either by the address or by the
Tag item value.
* Options | Initialization | by Poll. Addr. | Scan
Scanning all addresses from 0 to 15.
* Options | Disp. Refresh
Interval for refreshing variable quantities. Minimum value is 1 s.
* Options | Battery Type
Selection of battery type. A primary cell means a battery that
must not be recharged.
* Options | Number Format | Normal
* Options | Number Format | Extended
Selection of numerical format. An extended format enable to
introduce numbers in exponential form.
Note: Menu structure can be different after connecting other
HART or LHP devices. These devices have defined specific
items in menu. More detailed description can be found in the
documentation of specific device.
4.3 Error messages
The configurator saves up to 10 error messages or warnings
that were sent to it from the connected instrument. Some
errors have more possible meanings, according to the type of
the instrument and desired activity. The list of error messages
together with the possible explanations:
Invalid selection
- incorrect combination of parameters
Too large -
the value is too big
Too small
- the value is too small
Too few data
- too few data received
Specific error
- the meaning of the error depends on the type
of the transmitter
In write protect
- the transmitter is protected against entry
Access restricted
- Insufficient authorisation for access
Incorrect code of range units
Not implemented
- the command is not supported!
Device is busy
- the instrument is busy!
