Parameter
Description
Tag
The user tag name configured in the field device. (8 characters).
Note: The Tag, Descriptor and Date are updated together.
Descriptor
The user descriptor configured in the field device. (16 characters).
Note: The Tag, Descriptor and Date are updated together.
Date
The date when the tag and descriptor configuration was last modified.
Note: The Tag, Descriptor and Date are updated together.
LRV
The Lower Range Value in engineering units represented by the 4mA analog
signal.
Note: The LRV, URV and Range Units are updated together.
URV
The Upper Range Value in engineering units represented by the 20mA analog
signal.
Note: The LRV, URV and Range Units are updated together.
Range Units
The engineering units in which the LRV and URV values are specified.
Note: The LRV, URV and Range Units are updated together.
Damping
The damping value specified in seconds. Damping refers to the digital filtering of
process variables to remove transient and potentially erroneous deviations from
the actual measure variable.
Message
A user defined 32-character message stored in the field device.
Master Reset
Resets the field device
Enable Burst Mode
This instructs the field device to enter burst mode. Note that only Burst of HART
command 3 is supported
Disable Burst Mode
This instructs the field device to exit burst mode.
Table 5.10 - Channel Status Parameters – Device Configuration
A parameter can be modified by entering the new value into the appropriate text box and
clicking the adjacent Update button. When the parameter is pending, that is, edited but not
yet committed, then the text box will be shaded yellow. Once the value has been written
(updated) the value will be written to the field device and then re-read from the field device,
after which the parameter background will return to normal.
