Follow these steps to connect your HART Communicator to a PC:
1. Plug the PC Communication Adapter into the 9-pin Serial Port located on
the back of the Communicator. Refer to Appendix B for an illustration of
the PC Communication Adapter and the Communicator.
2. Plug the PC 25-pin Serial Port cable into the other end of the PC
Communication Adapter.
3. Connect the PC’s Serial Port cable to the back of the PC. Depending on
the PC, you must have either a 9-pin or 25-pin plug on the PC end of the
cable to connect to the PC.
4. Set the Communicator to Listen for PC.
5. Move to the PC keyboard. All communication between the two systems is
initiated at the PC.
6. Start the AMS application and select the HART Communicator icon to start
communication. Table 1-2 describes the main interface options selectable
by right-clicking the Communicator icon in AMS. Refer to the AMS
application online help system for details.
NOTE: AMS must also be configured appropriately to communicate with the
HART Communicator. See the AMS User’s Guide for details.
