3.2. Definitions of terms for PACTware / FDT / DTM

PACTware (Process Automation Configuration Tool): Manufacturer- and field bus-independent software for start-up, operation, and maintenance of all types of field devices. This general product series includes the DTMs (Device Type Managers) of the corresponding field device manufacturers. They are integrated according to interface specification FDT 1.20. Therefore a DTM belonging to the relevant device type is always required to operate a field device.

FDT (Field Device Tool): Standardized interface description; defines data exchange between the various DTMs and the frame application, for example PACTware.

DTM (Device Type Manager): The DTM is the actual control module of actuators, sensors, and field components. It includes all specific data and functions of a specific device type and returns all elements and dialogs needed for operation.

A DTM is only capable of running within a frame program such as PACTware.

Installation

5.2. Installing PACTware and DTMs

Select the appropriate PACTware version depending on the operating system in use, see chapter “5.1. System requirements”.

All installation programs are available on the Bürkert homepage and on CD.

Before the installation, exit all programs that are open.

5.2.1. PACTware version 3.6 and .NET Framework 1.1 including SP1

Installation of PACTware requires the presence of software platform: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)

Procedure to follow if "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)" is not present yet on the target computer:

→ Download and / or open the Zip file (1000103878), which includes the Microsoft.NET 1.1 framework. → Start "Dotnetfx.exe". → Download and / or open the Zip file (1000103880), which includes the Microsoft.NET 1.1 SP1 framework. → Start "NDP1.1sp1*.exe".

Procedure PACTware Setup:

→ Download and / or open the Zip file (1000103690), which includes the PACTware setup and unzip in a tem-

porary directory.

→ Start “Setup.exe”.

Setup file "PACTware36setup.zip" contains

• the basic setup for PACTware 3.6 with online help in various languages

• the HART communication DTM for PACTware 3.6

• the Generic HART DTM (not required)

After you have selected the installation language, the installation is performed.

At this point the HART communications DTM can also be installed. It is required because communication with Bürkert devices runs via the HART protocol and the physical layer has an RS232 interface rather than a HART interface.

English

Software Tool - 8x92 / 8x93

Installation

Optional components such as the manual are not installed here.

Operation and function

6. OPERATION AND FUNCTION

6.1. Starting PACTware

→ Start PACTware from the Windows start menu.

6.2. Creating a project

6.2.1. General description

AS a precondition for operating field devices, the device network must be represented in a PACTware project. PACTware provides an area for this purpose where all installed DTMs are shown: The Device Catalog. Normally the DTMs have the same name as the devices to facilitate control.

PACTware also provides a second area where the device network is represented: The Project Window. The actual device network is represented in this project window by inserting DTMs from the device catalog. The "HOST-PC" entry serves as the starting point for inserting a DTM. The required DTMs can be transferred from the device catalog into the project window by double clicking or using drag and drop.

If you do not want the project window or device catalog to be visible, they can be activated in the menu bar under "View".

If the Bürkert device DTMs are not visible in the device catalog, the device catalog must first be updated.

To update the device catalog:

→ Switch to the "Device catalog" window with "View / Device catalog" (F3)

→ Click

→ Confirm the question "Create new PACTware device catalog?" with

Update device catalog

Yes

→ After the device catalog is opened again, the Bürkert device DTMs are present; see “Figure 12: Device

6.2.2. Creating a project for Bürkert positioners

To be able to communicate with positioners and process controllers of types 8692, 8693, 8792 and 8793, first select HART communication DTM and then a Bürkert device DTM:

1. To select a HART communication DTM and set parameter:

→ Select "HART Communication, Fa. Codewrights GmbH" from the device catalog and double click or drag and

drop to integrate it into the project.

Figure 16: Integrating a device

The project is now created and can be saved under "File / Save".

You can determine under PACTware "Tools / Options," in the "Project" area whether the last project should be opened when the program starts (see “Figure 17: PACTware options”).

6.3. Basic settings

The basic settings of the positioner / process controller are implemented at the factory.

Once the device DTMs are activated, the basic settings can be adapted user-specifically:

• Define the device identification

• Run the automatic adjustment X.TUNE

• Transfer parameters (see chapter “6.4. Transferring parameters”)

• Parameterization of functions (see chapter “6.5. Parameterization”).

6.3.1. Activation of device DTMs

The DTM window is used for device identification, defining the basic settings, and parameterization of the device. The window can be activated as follows:

• Double click on the required DTM in the project window or

• Right click and select "Parameters" or

• With the PACTware "Device / Parameters" menu item.

While the TUNE FUNCTIONS is running, the valve automatically moves from its current position!

• Never run TUNE FUNCTIONS while a process is running!

• Take appropriate measures to prevent the system / positioner / process controller from being unintentionally actuated!

Automatic linearization of the process characteristic

Self-optimization of the process controller

The TUNE FUNCTIONS must be run for a function check of the positioner / process controller to adjust to specific local features.

WARNING!

NOTE!

Avoid maladjustment of the controller due to an incorrect compressed air supply or applied operating medium pressure!

• Run TUNE FUNCTIONS whenever the compressed air supply (= pneumatic auxiliary energy) is available during subsequent operation.

• Run the TUNE FUNCTIONS function preferably without operating medium pressure to exclude interference caused by flow forces.

If the parameters are transferred using the PACTware "Device / Store to device" menu item or using the PACTware

icon, all (!) parameters will be written to the device.

More extensive explanations describing operation and how to create a project are available in the PACTware online help. For start-up and parameterization, refer also to the operating instructions for the relevant device.

6.5. Parameterization

A distinction is made in parameterization between offline and online mode.

Offline mode

In Offline mode the project can be created and parameters can be changed and saved without devices connected. Then the data can be saved later to connected devices in Online mode

Online mode

In Online mode the device to be parameterized must be connected and ready for operation. Selecting the corresponding DTM by right clicking and selecting the "Connect" command or with PACTware menu "Device / Connect" causes Online mode to be prepared. Then parameters can be read directly from the device or trans-

ferred to the device

8) Note regarding read / write device data:

The device DTM is a universally valid DTM containing all parameters for all device variants. A check therefore determines before the data transfer from DTM which device variant is connected and deactivates the parameters/ menu items of variants not present in the DTM.
