9.5 Field Communicator 475 (FC 475)
The Field Communicator is a hand terminal from Emerson Process Management that is
designed to configure HART
®
and Foundation Fieldbus devices. Device Descriptions (DDs) are
used to integrate different devices into the Field Communicator.

s Manual.
9.5.2 Operation
The Field Communicator and the device's local display use almost the same procedures to
operate the signal converter. The online help for each menu item refers to the function number
given to each menu item on the local device display. Protection of settings is the same as on the
device's local display.
The Field Communicator always saves a complete configuration for communication with AMS.
For more data, refer to
HART
®
menu tree for Basic-DD on page 81.
9.6 Field Device Tool / Device Type Manager (FDT / DTM)
9.6.1 Installation
Before you operate the device, the Device Type Manager (Device DTM) must be installed in the
Field Device Tool Container. This .msi file is given on the DVD-ROM supplied with the device. You
can also download the file from our website. For installation and configuration data, refer to the
documentation that is supplied with the Device DTM on the DVD-ROM or in the "Downloads"
section of the website.
9.6.2 Operation
The DTM and the device's local display use almost the same procedures to operate the signal
converter. For more data, refer to
Operation on page 41.
CAUTION!
The Field Communicator cannot be used to correctly configure, operate or read data from the
device unless the Device Description (DD) file is installed.
INFORMATION!
The Field Communicator will not give you access to the service menu. A simulation is only
possible for current outputs.
