MACTek BULLET™ – User Manual

If this mode is disabled, the host must support scanning for sub-devices in order for any
sub-device to be detected or you must manually execute the Scan for Sub-Devices
method. The list of sub-devices is not retained through a power-cycle or reset of the
Bullet, so the host would need to detect this and rescan for sub-devices.
NOTE: The Bullet can support a maximum of eight sub-devices. If more than eight
wired-HART devices are detected, only the first eight devices will be used.
Scan Start Address
This is the first HART polling address that will be used when a scan for Sub-devices is
performed.
Scan Stop Address
This is the last HART polling address that will be used when a scan for Sub-devices is
performed.
Scan for Sub-Devices (method)
The Scan for Sub-Devices DD method will perform a scan for sub-devices connected to
the Bullet, across the HART polling addresses defined.
This method allows for the existing sub-device list to be either retained or erased prior to
the new scan.
Automatic Burst Mode Configuration
When Automatic Burst Mode Configuration is enabled, the Bullet will automatically
configure burst messages for Bullet itself and all of the connected sub-devices.
The Automatic Burst Mode Configuration setting can be set from within the DD, and
allows the user to select several different fixed update rates (1 second, 2 seconds, 4
seconds, 8 seconds, 16 seconds, 32 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10
minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes) at which all of the burst messages will be published to
the WirelessHART gateway.
If this mode is disabled, burst mode can be configured manually using the DD.
NOTE: If the Automatic Burst Mode Configuration setting is set, this will override any
manual configuration of the burst mode settings. If any manual burst mode settings are
configured, Automatic Burst Mode will be automatically turned off.
