Calibration using HART
The SITRANS LC500 transmitter can be calibrated using HART, with a HART
communicator

; a laptop running Simatic PDM, or with the Host system (DCS). The local
circumstances determine the manner in which calibration takes place. If the
circumstances allow the product to be brought to the 0% and 100% point level, calibration
is simple.
Examples of calibration using a Rosemount 275 hand-held communicator, fitted with the
GENERIC device descriptor:
