5.  CONFIGURATION

The BA644DF-F 8 variable FOUNDATION™
fieldbus indicator may be configured as a fieldbus
node or as a fieldbus listener.  When used as a
fieldbus node the indicator is configured via the
fieldbus host.  For detailed node conditioning
information please refer to the BEKA
FOUNDATION™ fieldbus Interface Guide which
may be downloaded from www.beka.co.uk

As a fieldbus listener the BA644DF-F is not visible
to the fieldbus host and can only be configured via
the front panel push buttons using the menu
shown in Fig 6.

Throughout this manual the four BA644DF-F push
buttons are identified 

P  E

   

 

 and legends

displayed by the fieldbus indicator are shown
within inverted commas  e.g. ‘CodE’ and ‘LiSt’.

5.1  Configuration menus

The configuration menu is separated into two
sections, fieldbus node and fieldbus listener.  Both
contain the ‘tYPE’ function that enables transfer
between the two.   Unless otherwise requested
when ordered, all FOUNDATION™ fieldbus
BA644DF-F indicators are supplied as fieldbus
nodes but can easily be reconfigured on-site.

5.2  Node configuration menu

The node configuration menu is shown in Fig 4.
Access to the menu is obtained by operating the 

P

and 

E

 buttons simultaneously.  If the BA644DF-F

is not protected by an access code the first
parameter 'rESEt’ will be displayed*.  If the
instrument is protected by an access code, ‘CodE’
will be displayed first.  Pressing 

P

 will allow the

four digit security code to be entered digit by digit
using the 

 or 

 button to adjust the flashing digit

and 

P

 to move control to the next digit.  When the

correct code has been entered, pressing 

E

 will

cause the first parameter ‘rESEt’ to be displayed*.
If an incorrect code is entered, or no button is
pressed for ten seconds, the BA644DF-F will
automatically return to the display mode.

If the indicator displays ‘SCAn’ it is conditioned

as a fieldbus listener, see section 5.3.13 to change
it to a fieldbus node.

5.2.1  Reset the indicator to node factory
          defaults           ‘rESEt’

The BA644DF-F may be reset to the factory
defaults that are shown below:

Security Code

0000 (disabled)

Device address

Unconfigured

Last variable

8

For each of the eight inputs:

Decimal point

XXX.XX

Bar Type

Left

Bar lower limit

0.0

Bar Upper limit

100.0

Gain

1.0

Offset

0.0

 To reset the BA644DF-F select ‘rESEt’ in the
configuration menu by operating the 

 or 

button.   To enter the function press 

P

 which will

reveal ‘0000’ with the left hand digit flashing.  To
prevent accidental use of this function, ‘5urE’ must
be entered to confirm that the instrument is to be
reset.

Using the 

 or 

 button set the flashing digit to ‘5’

and press the 

P

 button to move control to the next

digit which should be set to ‘u’.  When the four
letters of ‘5urE’ have been entered operating the 

E

button will reset the BA644DF-F to the factory
defaults.

CAUTION

All the instrument’s node configuration
and links will be lost when it is reset.

5.2.2  Change from node to listener   ‘tYPE’

This function enables the instrument to be
changed from a fieldbus node to a fieldbus listener.
Select ‘tYPE’ in the node configuration menu using
the 

 or 

 button. To enter the function press 

P

which will show that the instrument is configured
as a fieldbus node, to change to a fieldbus listener
press the 

 or 

 button which will toggle the

display to ‘LStnr’   To prevent accidental  changes
this request must be confirmed by operating the 

P

button and entering  ‘5urE’.  The instrument will
display ‘0000’ with the first digit flashing, using the

 or 

 button set the flashing digit to ‘5’ and press

the 

P

 button to move control to the next digit which

should be set to ‘u’.  When the four letters of ‘5urE’
have been entered, operating the 

E

 button will

cause the instrument to restart as a fieldbus
listener in the display mode.

CAUTION

All the instrument’s node configuration
and links will be lost when it is changed
from a fieldbus node to a fieldbus
listener.
