Installation and Setup

During installation on a Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP system, if the installer is not in the Administrator group, the installation wizard may display a message warning that the installation may not be successful. If this occurs, the installation wizard will run to completion but the Windows registry may not be updated correctly. If you are subsequently unable to connect to a transmitter, reinstall the software using the required user account.

2.2.2 Install the ProLink II software

To install ProLink II software:

1. Insert the ProLink II CD-ROM into the PC’s CD-ROM drive.

2. If the setup program does not start automatically, locate and run the SETUP.EXE file. The file is located in the root directory on the CD-ROM (e.g., D:\setup.exe, where “D” is your CD-ROM drive letter).

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. If you have a previous version of ProLink II installed on your PC, you may be prompted to remove it before installing the new version.

Note: The ProLink II site key is associated with a disk drive and specific folder on your PC. If you decide to move ProLink II after installation, you will have to transfer the license and reinstall ProLink II. To avoid this step, be sure to install ProLink II into a location that you can use permanently.

Note: If you have a Model 2700 transmitter with transmitter software earlier than v3.4, and you have the enhanced density application installed, you cannot access the enhanced density functions with ProLink II v2.1 or later. To configure and manage the enhanced density application from ProLink II, you must either upgrade your transmitter software to v3.4 or later, or continue to use ProLink II v1.x with enhanced density support. You can install both ProLink II v1.x and ProLink II v2.0 or later on the same PC, and you can use ProLink II v2.0 or later with your pre–v3.4 transmitter for all functions except enhanced density. You can also use ProLink v1.2 with transmitter software v3.4 and later; however, not all transmitter functions will be accessible using the older program.

2.2.3 Generate the temporary license

The first time ProLink II is run, you will be prompted to generate a temporary license. This license will allow you to run ProLink II with full functionality for seven days, starting from the current date and time. Follow the on-screen instructions to generate the temporary license.

Note: If you are running Windows 98 or Windows ME, you must temporarily disable any anti-virus software running on your PC before you can generate the temporary license. You can re-enable the anti-virus software immediately after the temporary license has been successfully generated.

Continue with Section 2.2.4 to use ProLink II for seven days. During this time period, follow the instructions in Section 2.2.7 to obtain and configure a site key.

Note: If you attempt to use ProLink II after the temporary license has expired, ProLink II will no longer allow you to connect to a transmitter.

Installation and Setup

2.2.4 Determine your connection type

Different transmitters and networks support different connection types.

• Table 2-2 lists the supported protocols and wiring methods for IFT97xx and RFT97xx transmitters.

• Table 2-3 lists the supported protocols and wiring methods for Model 1500/2500, Model 1700/2700, and Series 3000 transmitters.

• Table 2-4 lists the supported protocols and wiring methods for the Model 2400S transmitter.

• Table 2-5 lists the supported protocols and wiring methods for all MVD Direct Connect systems.

In these tables, and throughout the chapter:

• Temporary – refers to a connection that is not permanent and is typically used only for configuration and troubleshooting. Because the transmitter housing must be open for the duration of the connection, these connections should be removed and the housing closed as soon as possible. The operator should be aware of the safety hazards that result from opening the transmitter housing.

• Hard-wired – refers to a connection that is made to the permanent wiring, usually a transmitter output wire or the network that the transmitter is already using. Because hard-wired connections do not require the transmitter housing to be open, they can be left in place as desired.

ProLink II Setup Transmitter StartupUsing ProLink IIBefore You Begin

• AN – refers to transmitters with the analog outputs option board

• IS – refers to transmitters with the intrinsically safe outputs option board

• CIO – refers to transmitters with the configurable input/outputs option board

• FF – refers to transmitters with the F

OUNDATION fieldbus input/output option board

• PA – refers to transmitters with the PROFIBUS-PA input/output option board

• DP – refers to transmitters with the PROFIBUS-DP input/output option board

• DN – refers to transmitters with the DeviceNet input/output option board

• MVD Direct Connect – refers to meter installations that include the core processor but do not include a transmitter. ProLink II is connected directly to the RS-485 terminals on the core processor or the MVD Direct Connect I.S. barrier.

Once you have determined your connection type, use the Wiring Method # value in the table to direct you to the correct wiring procedure in Section 2.2.5.

2.2.5 Install the signal converter and connect the wires

All ProLink II connection methods require a signal converter. Micro Motion offers four different installation kits to cover all required signal converter types. See Section 1.3.2 for a list of the available installation kits and signal converters.

ProLink II Setup Transmitter StartupUsing ProLink IIBefore You Begin

To install the signal converter and connect the wires, follow the instructions for your connection type. Refer to the Wiring Method # value in Table 2-2, 2-3, 2-4 or 2-5.

WARNING

On Model 1700/2700 transmitters, opening the power supply compartment in explosive atmospheres while the power is on can cause an explosion.

Before using the service port to communicate with the transmitter in a hazardous area, make sure the atmosphere is free of explosive gases.

WARNING

On Model 1700/2700 transmitters, opening the power supply compartment can expose the operator to electric shock.

To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not touch the power supply wires or terminals while using the service port.

Installation and Use Manual 11

Installation and Setup

On Model 3350/3700 transmitters, opening the wiring compartment in explosive atmospheres can cause an explosion.

Do not remove the compartment covers in an explosive atmosphere within three minutes after power is disconnected.

On Model 2400S transmitters, removing the transmitter housing cover in a hazardous area can cause an explosion.

Because the housing cover must be removed to connect to this transmitter using the service port clips or HART clips, these connections should be used only for temporary connections, for example, for configuration or troubleshooting purposes.

When the transmitter is in an explosive atmosphere, use a different method to connect to your transmitter.

WARNING

Removing the core processor lid can expose the operator to electric shock.

To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not touch the power supply wires or terminals while removing or replacing the core processor lid, or while using the RS-485 terminals.

CAUTION

Connecting a HART device to the transmitter’s primary mA output could cause transmitter output error.

If the primary mA output is being used for flow control, connecting the VIATOR HART Interface to the output loop, via either the mA terminals or the HART clips, could cause the transmitter’s 4–20 mA output to change, which would affect flow control devices.

Set control devices for manual operation before connecting the VIATOR HART Interface to the transmitter’s primary mA output loop.

3. Ensure that your wiring meets the following requirements:

• For basic analog output operation, the primary mA output requires an external power supply with a minimum of 250 Ω and 17.5 volts. See Figure 2-5.

• For communication, the VIATOR HART Interface must be connected across a resistance of 250–600 Ω. See Figure 2-4.

To meet the resistance requirements, you may use any combination of resistors R1, R2, and R3:

- If no other device is connected to the primary mA output, add resistor R1 in series with the primary mA output.

- If the primary mA output is connected to a remote device such as a DCS or a PLC with an internal resistor (R2), ensure its value is between 250 and 600 Ω. If it is lower than 250 Ω, add resistor R1 to the connection so that the overall resistance (R1 + R2) is between 250 and 600 Ω.

- If your DCS or PLC does not have an internal resistor, add resistor R3 and make sure its value is between 250 and 600 Ω

Note: This method is supported by all Series 1000, Series 2000 and Series 3000 transmitters.

Using a Black Box signal converter, the PC can be connected directly to a transmitter’s service port. Figure 2-8 shows the wiring for this connection type.

1. At the PC, attach the Black Box signal converter to the PC’s serial or USB port, using a 25-pin to 9-pin adapter if necessary.

2. At the transmitter, connect the signal converter leads to the service port terminals. See Table 2-11. For assistance in identifying the terminals, see Appendix A.

• If you are connecting to a Model 1500/2500 transmitter or a Series 3000 transmitter, the

port terminals are available at any time.

RS-485 terminals on these transmitters are accessible as a service port for a 10-second interval after power-up:

- If a service port connection is made during this interval, the port will remain in service port mode indefinitely until power is cycled.

- If no service port connection is made during this interval, the terminals switch to Modbus/RS-485 mode, and must be accessed using the RS-485 communication settings configured in the transmitter (see Method 6).

Service port connections to these transmitters are discussed in detail in Section 2.2.6.

Note: All service ports are accessed using the default address of 111. If you are connecting over a multidrop network with multiple service ports, it is not possible to specify which device to connect to.
