5.4 Device List
The module supports scanning a channel to determine at which short address the
field device(s) are. The user can select the start and end address to minimize the
scan time. Once the scan is completed and a device is found the devices details will
be displayed in the list as shown below. When the user is using multiple devices on a
single channel then more than one device will be displayed in this list.
Important
: When multiple devices are used on a single channel then the user must ensure that each
device is at a unique address. The user can change the short node address in the options by right-
clicking on the device and selecting
Write Address
.
Figure 5.21 – Device List
There are various options the user can execute per device found in the device list.
Some of the options will only be relevant depending on the HART Revision (e.g. the
Long Tag is only supported with HART Revision 6 and above).
