Field Configurators HARTConf, LHPConf for Transmitters with HART or LHP Communication and HART-USB Modem
HARTConf, LHPConf
Field Configurators and HART-USB Modem
for Transmitters with LHP or HART Communication
3.1 Application
HARTConf and LHPConf handheld configuration devices are
intended for reading, adjusting and changing the configuration
of instruments with HART and LHP communication. These
devices communicate with instruments connected in a current
loop or they can supply these instruments being adjusted
directly from their internal current supply unit. Therefore, they
can be used for the adjustment of instruments before their
installation, and before putting them into operation without
connecting them necessarily to a power supply unit. The
internal power supply unit for a transmitter can be switched
off, permanently switched on or switched into standby mode,
when the power supply is switched on only for the moment the
communication is in progress, and then it is switched off again.
This mode of operation can significantly extend the operating
period in case the device is supplied from an accumulator or
a battery. The configurator and its functions are controlled by
means of push buttons and a colour graphic display.
3.2 Functions of the HARTConf configurator
The HARTConf configurator is an instrument that combines
a handheld device with HART or LHP communication and an
intelligent HART-USB modem. It enables one to communicate
with instruments equipped with HART communication at
the level of universal and common practice commands.
Therefore, it is possible to change the output range of any
HART instrument, display actual value of input, output and
up to three other variables. It is possible to test a current
loop, do a zero setting of a pressure sensor, change text
items etc. All available configuration parameters can be
set in HART-USB Modem mode with suitable PC software
(software is not included with HARTConf). It also includes
all functions of a LHP configurator, and it can therefore be
used for the adjustment of all parameters of LHP transmitters.
It is supplied from a 9 V accumulator, which can be charged
from a USB port. After connection to the USB port, the
configurator is supplied through this port, which provides all
necessary energy. The device is able to supply the transmitter
from its own internal power supply unit both in the configurator
mode and the HART-USB Modem mode.
3.3 Functions of the LHPConf configurator
It only contains the LHPConf configurator function and does
not support connection to device with HART communication.
In instruments with LHP communication, the device allows to
adjust all available parameters except for user linearization.
It can visualize momentary input and output values and max.
three other variables, as well as test an output current loop, etc.
It contains the function of a transmitter supply, and operation
with a transmitter therefore does not require any external
power supply unit. LHPConf configurator is supplied from
a 9 V battery by default. If the accumulator is used instead of
battery, it is possible to charge the device by connecting to the
USB port or AC adapter. After connection to the USB port, the
configurator is supplied through this port, which provides all
necessary energy.
