„Simulation“ menue
The different measurands and the current can be simulated in the "Simulation" menue to
check the subsequent processing of measured values.
The current simulation only affects the current output. The measurand simulations take all
settings into account, i.e. including the damping and active tank shape if necessary.
If the simulated variable has no effect on the current output, the measured value of the
selected variable continues to be issued at the current output. For example, you may have
selected the fill height as the variable for the current output and then simulate the volume.
In this case, the measured fill height continues to be issued at the current output as the
volume calculation is only done after the fill height calculation (see also 6.1.5)
6.5.9
Communication menue
In the "Communication" menue the settings for the HART communication are summarised.
Menue entry
Description
HART address
Setting the HART address for device identification in multi-drop
mode
Current mode
Setting the current mode (proportional/constant)
HART data
Display of HART information (HART tag, HART descriptor, etc.)
Send-preambles
Setting of the number of send-preambles for HART communica-
tion
Table 24: "Communication" menue
6.5.9.1
HART address
This address corresponds with the short address which is used for the HART-
Communication. It can be set within a range of 0 to 63. Please note, that setting the short
address between 1 and 63 will not automatically activate the constant current mode. This
must be done under the menue “Current mode” (see Chapter 6.5.9.2).
6.5.9.2
Current mode
The current mode determines whether the output current of the device is set to respond
proportionally to the pressure (selection “proportional”) or whether it should remain con-
stant at 4 mA (selection “constant”). When the current mode “constant” is in use the meas-
urement value can be read using HART only (e.g. for HART-multidrop-operation).
6.5.10 "System" menue
In the "System" menue, device-relevant functions are summarised.
Menue entry
Description
Device ID
Setting the device ID (e.g. to display a free-text in the display)
Device data
Display of device data (such as from measured value display)
Factory data reset
Reset to factory settings
Restart
Restarting the device (such as after a power outage)
Config.-memory
Configuration memory: reading, writing and status
