Maintaining the battery

To help maintain the performance and life of the Li-Ion battery,

erstand and follow th

und

e guidelines below:

• Recharge the battery frequently, preferably after each use or at night. Limit the number of full discharges, if

possible.

• Frequent use at high temperatures can reduce performance.

• Use a dry location at or near room temperature when storing the battery for an extended time. Prolonged sto

rage at higher

temperatures can reduce performance.

• Ensure the remaining charge level is at or near mid-capacity when storing for an extended time. The remain

ing charge will slowly drain during storage. Periodically charge the battery to ensure the remaining charge does not drain to low levels.

Card reader

The 475 Field Communicator System Card can also communicate with the Easy Upgrade Utility using a supported

Secure Digital card reader. See the readme file for the supported card readers. You can access this file from www.fieldcommunicator.com, the Resource CD or DVD, or the Field Communicator Easy Upgrade Utility menu in the Windows Start menu (if the Easy Upgrade Utility has been installed.)

CAUTION

Using Windows Explorer and a card reader to manually transfer or copy files between the System Card and a PC can corrupt the System Card. This operation should only be performed under the direction of Technical Support personnel.

The card reader provides faster upload and download speeds than an IrDA adapter; however, it cannot transfer application licenses, Event Capture files, or ScratchPad files.

To access the System Card, you need to remove the battery from the 475 Field Communicator. See “Removing the batter

y and the System

Card” on page 22 for more information.

Connecting to a HART device

The 475 Field Communicator can communicate with a device from the control room, on the bench, or any wiring termination point in the loop. Connect the 475 Field Communicator with the appropriate connectors in parallel with the device or load resistor. The HART connectors are not polarity sensitive.

A minimum of 250 ohms resistance must be present in the HART loop for the 475 Field Communicator to functio

n properly. For information

about Intrinsically Safe connections, see Appendix B.

HART communication terminals

Three terminals for the lead set are on the top of the 475 Field Communicato

r. Each red terminal is a p

ositive connection for its protocol. The black terminal is a common terminal shared by both protocols. An access door ensures only one pair of terminals is exposed at any one time; see Figure 3-2. Several markings indicate which pair of terminals is for which protocol.

Figure 3-2. HART communication terminals and access door

NOTE

The lead set must be used to communicate with a wired or wireless device. The 475 Field Communicator cannot communicate wirelessly with devices.

polling options” on page 53 for information on modifying these options.

NOTE

Communication errors, such as a device appearing at multiple addresses, can occur when polling addresses greater than 15 on a loop with both HART Universal Revision 5 or earlier and HART Universal Revision 6 or higher devices.

For many devices, an Online menu similar to Figure 3-7 is the first menu to appear when connected to a HART device and is the root menu for the device. This menu displays critical, up-to-d

ate process information that is continuously updated, including device setup, primary variable (PV), analog output (AO), PV lower range value (LRV), and PV upper range value (URV).

Depending on the device description, the first online screen may be a standard HART menu or a Device Dashboa

rd menu. A Device Dashboard menu displays the same parameters, but they are organized by task. Options such as Overview, Configure, Service Tools, and Advanced may appear. See your device documentation for more information on these menus.

SAFETY MESSAGES Procedures and instructions in this section may require special

). Refer to the safety messages before

this manual.

If a segment is connected to a host system with the 475 Field Communicator may not be recorded in the host system’s permanent database. Verify the changes in the database. Otherwise, this could cause unpredictable results and, depending upon your application, process disruption leading to property damage, serious injury, or death. Ensure all safety precautions and work procedures have been followed.

Changing device parameters could adversely affect the control of your proce applying changes. Verify the output before returning the control loop to Auto. Failure to do so could result in property damage, serious injury, or death. Ensure all safety precautions and work procedures have been followed.

The 475 Field Communicator draws approximately 12 mA from the fieldbus segment. Be sure the power supply or barrier on the fieldbus segment has the capacity to provide this additional current. If a heavily loaded fieldbus segment is drawing near the capacity of the segment’s power supply, connecting the 475 Field Communicator may result in loss of communication.

BASIC FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

Fieldbus functionality

Fieldbus Application functionality

Link Active Scheduler (LAS)

The Fieldbus Application lets you communicate with connected fieldbus devices, modify settings for the application, and run diagnostics. Your 475 Field Communicator must be licensed for

OUNDATION Fieldbus to run this application. See your sales

F representative or the Online Licensing feature in the Field Communicator Easy Upgrade Utility to purchase this license.

All segments have only one Link Active Scheduler (LAS). The LAS operates as the bus arbiter for the segment. The 475 Field Communicator is set up to always be the last node to become the LAS on a segment.

The devices that are capable of becoming the LAS are called link master devices. can set a device to be a link master or basic device using the 475 Field Communicator. See “Setting the device to be a Link Master or Basic device” on page 74 for more information.

When a segment first starts up, or upon failure of the existing LAS, the

master devices on the segment bid to be

link master that wins the bid (the one with the lowest address) begins operating as the LAS immediately upon completion of the bidding process. Link masters that do not become the LAS can act as LAS backups by monitoring the segment for failure of the LAS and then bidding to become the LAS when a LAS failure is detected.

Although the 475 Field Communicator is capable of becoming the LAS, it does not maintain the commun thought of as a backup LAS.

Only one device can communicate at a time. Permission to communicate on the bus is controlled between devices by the LAS. Only the device with the token can communicate. The LAS maintains a list of all devices that need access to the bus. This list is called the Live Device List; see “Displaying the connected fieldbus devices” on page 65.

segment, it joins the fieldbus segment but not as the LAS. This means the 475 Field Communicator can view and edit device parameters, but the control of the segment is still handled by the node that is designated the LAS for the segment. You can also read and write if there is another LAS. Prior to connecting to a host system, review the 475 Field Communicator Host System Interoperability on www.fieldcommunicator.com.

Connecting to a fieldbus device

Connect the 475 Field Communicator by using the lead set with the appropriate connectors in parallel with the device. Due to measurement circuitry, the 475 Field Communicator fieldbus connectors on the communication terminals are polarity sensitive. An error message appears if the lead set is connected incorrectly.

For information about Intrinsically Safe connections, see Appendix B.

NOTE

Dynamic variables shown while online represent the digital data being sent from the device.

Digital communication is susceptible to electrical noise; follow proper wiring instructions.

Fieldbus communication terminals

Three terminals for the lead set are on the top of the 475 Field Communicato

The functions performed by the block will not execute. If the block has any outputs, these will typica

lly not update and the status of any values passed to other blocks is “BAD”. Before you make changes to the configuration of the block, change the mode of the block to OOS. When the changes are complete, change the mode back to AUTO.

Mode parameters

Mode parameters are used to change the block mode from one state to another. There

are four types of mode parameters: Target, Actual,

Permitted, and Normal.

The Target mode is the mode assigned to a block and is used to change a block to a de

Setting the device to be a Link Master or Basic device

If a device is capable of becoming a Link Active Scheduler (LAS), the Link Master Configuration menu option is displaye

d in the Advanced menu. The screen shows the current operating class in the drop down box and lets you select the new operating class. Select Link Master if you want the device to attempt to be the LAS, or select Basic if you want to prevent the device from becoming the LAS.

Setting the device as a link master does not set the device as the LAS. The link master device must fo

llow the fieldbus process to become the

LAS if other link master devices are on the segment.

After you set the option, the device resets and the Field Communicator temporarily loses communication with the device.

NOTE

You cannot change the device to be a link master or basic device when, at a minimum, any of the following hosts/linking devices are detected on the segment: Rosemount 3420, DeltaV, Ovation, Allen-Bradley FFLD and FFLDC, Honeywell Experion PKS, Yokogawa Stardom or CENTUM, Softing FG-100/HSE, or SMAR DF62.

Changing the fieldbus polling addresses

Polling is a method of determining which devices are present on a network. The V(FUN) is the first unpolled node address. V(NUN) is the number of unpolled node addresses. The addresses between V(FUN) and V(FUN)+V(NUN)-1 are not polled. The default value for V(FUN) is 200 and the default value for V(NUN) is zero. Narrowing the range of devices being polled provides a quicker Live Device List refresh.

Troubleshooting

HART loops

Verify the HART loop current and voltage on the device. Almost all devices need at least 4 mA and 12V DC to opera

te properly.

If there are multiple devices on a multidrop loop, set the 475 Field Communicator to Poll by Address. See “Changing the HAR

T polling

options” on page 53 for more information on polling options.

Inspection of the loop wiring can often reveal problems. The shield is normally grounde

d at one end only, which is usually the control

system.

Verify the loop has a minimum of 250 ohms resistance. If there is not an external resistor, th

en, normally, the total resistance is the resistance of the process-indicating device monitoring the loop. Check the manuals for the process-indicating device to determine its loop resistance. If the resistance of the process-indicating device is unknown, it can be determined by knowing the current flow in the loop and the voltage across the process-indicating device.

The resistance can be calculated using the formula, Resistance =

oltage / Current. The 475 Field Communicator can be used to

V measure the voltage; see “DC voltage measurement (HART terminals)” on page 57.

Sample values

Loop Current Flow Minimum voltage for 250 ohms. 4 mA 1 Volt

8 mA 2 Volts 12 mA 3 Volts 16 mA 4 Volts 20 mA 5 Volt

If the voltage across the process-indicating device is greater than the

listed for a given current flow, th

value

e device has at least 250 ohms of internal resistance. If the voltage is less than the value listed in the table for the given current flow, more resistance needs to be added to the loop.

If an oscilloscope is available, use it to look for noise on the loop. Use a scope with d

ifferential mode capability or a battery powered/isolated scope to avoid grounding one side of the loop. Noise with a frequency of 500 Hz to 10,000 Hz is of particular interest, as this represents frequencies near the HART frequencies of 1200 and 2200 Hz.

Troubleshooting

Table 5-1. Troubleshooting table for the HART protocol

Symptom Possible causes Solution

Intermittent communication

No communication with device.

Cannot connect to a HART device.

Control system is communicating HART, but the Field Communicator is not communicating properly.

Insufficient loop current and voltage at the device terminals.

Verify there is at least 4 mA and 12V DC at the device terminals; see “DC voltage measurement (HART terminals)” on page 57.

Noise on the field loop.

Noise or signal distortion from the control system, i.e., noise from the power supply powering the devices or front end analog circuitry inside the control system may be distorting the HART signal.

Poor wiring. Check wiring

terminations and exposed signal wire for damage.

Insufficient loop resistance at the HART frequencies.

Add an additional 250 ohm resistor in series in the loop. Place the leads across the resistor and verify if communication has been restored.

Insufficient loop current and voltage at the device terminals.

Verify that there is at least 4 mA and 12V DC at the device terminals; “DC voltage measurement (HART terminals)” on page 57.

Device may be set to a HART address other than zero (multidrop mode).

Change Polling mode to Poll by Address. See “Changing the HART polling options” on page 53.

The polling address or tag may not match the device.

Check the Polling Options to ensure the proper polling type is selected.

HART communication is being prevented by the control system.

Stop HART communications on the control system and verify if communication between the devices and the 475 is restored.

Page 82

Troubleshooting

A HART device appears at the multiple addresses.

More than one Field Communicator or other Secondary Master may be attached to the control loop.

The incorrect polling addresses may be used.

HART Universal Revision 5 (or earlier), 6, and 7 devices are on the same loop

Ensure there is only one Primary Master and one Secondary Master on the control loop.

Change the addresses being polled. See “Changing the HART polling options” on page 53.

Put HART Universal Revision 5 or earlier devices on a separate loop from HART Universal Revision 6 or 7 devices.

Troubleshooting

Table 5-2. Troubleshooting table for the fieldbus protocol

Symptom Possible causes Solution

No communication with device.

Connected to a segment in a bench configuration and the Live Device List remains blank (even the Field Communicator does not appear).

Unable to change the address of a device.

The Field Communicator does not remain the LAS on a segment.

The Field Communicator is connected to a segment with DeltaV and the device on the same segment is being commissioned using DeltaV.

This issue is caused by the speed at which certain LAS-enabled devices are attempting to run the segment.

The Field Communicator is unable to change the address of a device that is currently the LAS.

A host takes over as the LAS.

A backup LAS takes over as the LAS. The lower the address and Slot Time of the device, the more likely this will occur.

The Field Communicator is unable to communicate with this device until you go offline and then back online.

Establish communication by putting the Field Communicator on the segment first and then adding one or more devices. By putting the Field Communicator on first, it will remain the LAS and control the communication.

When a host is established on a segment, it will take over as the LAS. No action is required.
