Description
Routing
Device
Indicates whether the device is allowed to act a routing device. This option
enables you to set up a star network, or to increase the battery life of certain
devices.
To deactivate the routing functionality, deactivate the corresponding check
box in the
Routing Device
column.
The network has to be reformed before the activated/deactivated routing
functionality takes effect. To reform the network, choose
Reform Network
in
the
Additional Functions > Reset
menu.
Fast Pipe
This option establishes a direct connection to a selected device. The fast pipe
connection is about 4 times faster than a regular connection, which enables
you to perform fast updates.
To establish a direct connection to a selected device, activate the
Fast Pipe
check box. Note that you can activate the
Fast Pipe
option only for one device
at a time.
Flush Cache
This option deletes the cache of the received HART commands.
Note that the measured values will not be deleted to allow host applications to
work with the last measured values.
Force
Identification
This option forces a device to resend its identification, for example if a
communication failure occurred.
Note that this option is available only for devices that have not been identified
yet.
Delete Device
To remove a device from the list, click the X-sign at the end of the row.
Note that this option is available only for devices that have no connection to
the network.
