NOTE:
For Modbus, there are three types of connections available. First is the Modbus Master, second is RDM slave mode (only for TEC2000) and third one is TCP/IP (user needs CAM09/209 card). Refer to the following wiring connection to connect DCMlink to the respective actuator.
CAUTION
!
Before working on the wiring connections, power down the actuator.
November 2020
For TEC2000: Separate Terminal Chamber (STC) contains terminal block for wiring connection. Pinch bar to rotate the STC cover in a counter-clockwise direction, this will open the STC cover and the user will see the terminal block in STC.

NOTE:
DCMlink Solo must be licensed with a Tag Limit sufficient for the number of connected actuators.
Depending upon the multiplexer, DCMlink Solo can support up to 256 individual loop channels per multiplexer. User can connect one actuator to each loop channel.
To add a new actuator to a multiplexer:
• Connect HART signal wiring to the multiplexer.
• Apply power to the actuator and multiplexers.
• Right click the multiplexer symbol and select Reset and Rescan the Multiplexer
from the drop-down menu.
• If the actuator is recognized by the software, actuator symbol appears beneath
the multiplexer on the device connection diagram. If no symbol appears, then the software does not recognize the actuator. Check physical connections and actuator loop power.

3.6.1 Multiplexer Networks for DCMlink Snap-ON
3.6.1.1 Setting Up Multiplexer Network
DCMlink uses an RS485 Modem to communicate with different actuators through HART multiplexers Depending upon the multiplexer, DCMlink can support up to 256 individual loop channels per multiplexer. Refer to Table 9 to determine the number of multiplexers and actuators that may be connected to a network.
Table 9. Maximum Number of Multiplexers and HART Devices per Network
Multiplexer Type
Maximum Number of Multiplexers Per
Maximum Number of Loops Per Multiplexer
Network
MTL4841 Communications Module 31 256 Pepperl+Fuchs 32 255
Each MTL4841 module receives digital data from a maximum of 16 MTL4842 HART Interface Modules. In turn, each MTL4842 module accesses data from a maximum of 16 HART devices.
The following procedure to set up a multiplexer network:
• Connect physical equipment. Set all multiplexers and the RS485 converter to the same
baud rate.
NOTE:
For details about wiring and connecting equipment, refer to the appropriate instruction guide.
• Apply power to the RS485 converter, multiplexers and actuators.

3.6.1.3 Setting Up Pepperl+Fuchs Multiplexer
When adding or removing a submodule from a Pepperl+Fuchs multiplexer, user must reconfigure the multiplexer to indicate the changes. To setup Pepperl+Fuchs multiplexer:
• On each Pepperl+Fuchs slave module, Set Slave Address switch to an unused value so
that each module has its own individual setting.
• On Pepperl+Fuchs Module Setup screen, check those modules that are installed.

Multiplexer fields:
• Mux #: The multiplexer address, determined by the address switch settings on the
multiplexer or communications module.
• Unique ID: The last six digits of a unique ID number assigned to the multiplexer by
the manufacturer.
• Tag: A name assigned to the multiplexer from the tag and descriptor screen.
• Description: A description assigned to the multiplexer from the Tag and
• Manufacturer: The multiplexer manufacturer, Emerson, MTL, ELCON, or P&F.

Communications Module for a MTL4840 HART Maintenance System, KFD HART Multiplexer System for a Pepperl+Fuchs multiplexer, or an ELCON Mux.
• Univ. Command Rev.: The HART command language revision number, always 5.
• Instr. Command Rev.: The multiplexer or communications module firmware
revision number.
• Scanning: Alert scanning. Should always be disabled when not viewing the Network
Scan window.
• Scan Cmd: HART command level returned to the multiplexer or communications
module by the instrument if an alert occurs. May be a1 or a3.
• Date: The date data was entered.
• Message: A message programmed into the multiplexer or communications
module software.
• Gender: Whether the multiplexer or communications module is a primary master or
secondary master.
• Loop Search: Currently the multiplexer or communications module only searches for
single analog loops, those loops where the instrument polling address is 0.
• Gateway Device: HART signaling scheme. Always RS485 - Bell 202.
• Software Rev.: Revision number of the software installed in the multiplexer or
communications module.
• Hardware Rev.: Hardware revision level.
• Retry Count: Number of times multiplexer or communications module attempts to
send a command to the instrument. Should be 2 after initialization.

3.7 AMS SNAP-ON Setup
AMS SNAP-ON is a software application that is installed as an integral part of AMS Device Manager to extend its functionality. AMS SNAP-ON adds the diagnostic test capabilities of DCMlink software to AMS Device Manager.
A USB hardware key is not used for installing AMS DCMlink SNAP-ON. However, AMS Device Manager must be licensed for the AMS DCMlink SNAP-ON. To install AMS DCMlink SNAP-ON, user must first have installed a properly licensed copy of AMS Device Manager.

CAUTION
!
Do not run DCMlink SOLO at the same time when using AMS Device Manager or AMS DCMlink SNAP-ON. Running both simultaneously may cause communication errors.
NOTE:
To successfully use DCMlink SNAP-ON, user must be familiar with using AMS Device Manager. Refer to the AMS online User’s Guide.
• To make DCMlink SNAP-ON work on AMS 12.5 or below, please ensure to add
Computer-Name (DCMlinkUser) as the domain and password (DCMlink@123) to the AMS User Manager dialog. After adding the user to the AMS, make sure to add groups and select all groups for the DCMlinkUser, followed by granting of permissions. See below for a screen capture.
• For AMS 13.0 and above, add user login to AMS User Manager dialog. This will launch
AMS 13.0 and above using the user login credentials directly from the system.

• Start AMS Device Manager by selecting Start> Programs > AMS > AMS system from
the Windows taskbar.
• The AMS Explorer or Device Connection View window displays.
• AMS displays the communication devices (modem, multiplexer) that are connected to
the PC running AMS and the AMS DCMlink SNAP-ON. Right-click device icon and select Scan All Devices to locate connected HART instruments.

3.8 Troubleshooting Communication Issues
Table 10. Installation Issues Question and Answer Table
Section Question and Answer
Serial Ports Question:
DCMlink software does not detect all of my serial ports. How do I enable DCMlink Software to use a port that it doesn’t automatically detect?
Answer:
In the PreferenceSetting.XML le, ModbusSettings section, user can add a entry
for ModbusSetting. If the user makes this change while DCMlink Software is running, the user will have to exit and restart the software for this change to take effect.
COM Port Question:
DCMlink Software isn’t detecting the COM port. What could be causing this problem?
Answer: Close DCMlink and relaunch application. If the problem persists, restart the computer. Alternatively, the user can try programs, such as Allen Bradley or competitive valve suppliers, etc., that may be using the COM port. Other causes may include: The power saving option is set and has caused the port to use the low power option. You need to set the power saving to none and delete and reinstall the COM port. The COM ports hardware is malfunctioning. To solve this, please contact your System Administartor
Communication Errors in DCMlink
Question: I am getting communication errors when performing operations with
DCMlink. What can I do to x the errors?
Answer:
In the PreferenceSetting.XML le, ModbusSetting section, try changing the
value of delay [Timeout delay]. If you make this change while DCMlink Software is running, the user will have to exit and restart the software for this change to take effect.
