SECTION 1

The HART® Communicator

INTRODUCTION

The HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) Communicator (Figure 1-1) is a hand-held interface that provides a common communication link to all HART-compatible, microprocessor-based instruments.

Section 1 discusses the HART Communicator Connections, Liquid Crystal Display, Keypad, Offline and Online menu, Battery Pack, Memory Module, data pack 100, Maintenance, and Year 2000 Compatibility. It also includes short overviews on some of the Communicator’s functionality.

Section 2 describes tasks that are common to Fisher-Rosemount’s HART devices and includes some of the common screen displays.

Section 3 displays typical examples of menu trees specific to FisherRosemount products.

Your HART Communicator interfaces with any HART-compatible device from any wiring termination point using a 4–20 mA loop, provided a minimum load resistance of 250 ohms is present between the Communicator and the power supply. Your HART Communicator uses the Bell 202 frequency shift key (FSK) technique of high-frequency digital signals superimposed on a standard transmitter current loop of 4–20 mA. Because the total highfrequency signal voltage added to the loop amounts to zero, communication to and from a HART-compatible device does not disturb the 4–20 mA signal.

HART COMMUNICATOR CONNECTIONS

The HART Communicator can interface with a transmitter from the control room, the instrument site, or any wiring termination point in the loop through the rear connection panel (Figure 1-2).

To interface, connect the HART Communicator with the appropriate connectors in parallel with the instrument or load resistor. All connections are non-polarized. When connecting to a PC, you must use the PC Communication Adapter to connect to the Communicator’s serial port. See

Listen for PC Menu on page 1-26 for more information and Appendix B for a complete list of parts.

For intrinsically safe Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and Factory Mutual (FM) wiring connections, see Appendix C.

! WARNING

Explosions can result in death or serious injury. Do not connect to the serial port or NiCad recharger jack in an explosive atmosphere.

! WARNING

Explosions can result in death or serious injury. Before connecting the HART Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or nonincendive field wiring practices. For intrinsically safe CSA and FM wiring connections, see Appendix C.

Figure 1-5 shows how to connect the optional 250 ohm load resistor.

NOTE: To temporarily install the optional 250 ohm Load Resistor:

1.Insert the load resistor into the lead set jacks.

2.Open the loop to allow connection of the resistor in series in the loop.

3.Close the loop using the lead set connectors.

LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD)

The LCD is an 8-line by 21-character display that provides communication between you and the connected device. When you connect to a HARTcompatible device, the top line of each Online menu displays the model name of the device and its tag. The bottom line of each menu is reserved for the dynamic labels for each software-defined function key, F1-F4 (found directly below the display).

These dynamic labels display available functions. For example, the label HELP appears above the F1 key when access to online help is available. See Software-Defined Function Keys on page 1-6 for more information.

The Communicator does not store key strokes in its memory. The LCD should be fully displayed before you press a key to do the next action.

THE ACTION KEYS

The action keys (Figure 1-1) are the six blue, white, and black keys located above the alphanumeric keys. The function of each key is described as follows:

On/Off Key

Use this key to power up and power off the HART Communicator. When you power up the Communicator, it automatically searches for

a HART-compatible device on the 4-20 mA loop. If a device is not found, the Communicator displays the message “No Device Found. Press OK....” Press the OK ‘F4’ function key and the Main menu displays on the screen. See

Main Menu on page 1-12.

If a HART-compatible device is found, the Communicator displays the Online menu. See Online Menu on page 1-19.

Refer to Getting to Know the HART Communicator on page 1-9,

Section 3, or your device-specific manual for more information about Online menu options.

You can select the Polling option to direct the HART Communicator to look for devices at multidrop addresses. See Polling Menu on page 1-23 for details.

During certain operations, the message “OFF KEY DISABLED” indicates that you cannot turn the HART Communicator off. This feature helps you avoid unintentionally turning off the power to the HART Communicator while the output of a device is fixed or when you are editing a device variable.

ALPHANUMERIC AND SHIFT KEYS

The 12 alphanumeric keys (Figure 1-6) perform two functions — the fast selection of menu options and data entry. Three shift keys enable use of the upper row of characters on each alphanumeric key.

FIGURE 1-6. HART Communicator Alphanumeric and Shift Keys.

Using the Fast Select Feature

From within any menu, you can select available options in two ways: 1) you can use the up and down arrow keys and the select key to access available options, 2) you can use the fast select feature. To fast select the desired option, press the corresponding number on the alphanumeric keypad. Figure 1-7 shows how to quickly access the Utility menu from the Main menu by pressing the indicated fast key.

Using Shift Keys for Data Entry

Some menus require data entry. Use the up and down arrow keys when available, or use the alphanumeric and shift keys to enter the alphanumeric information into the HART Communicator.

If you press only the alphanumeric key within an edit menu, only the bold character in the center of the key will display. These large characters include the numbers zero through nine, the decimal point (.), and the dash

symbol (-). To enter the other characters on the keys, first press and release the shift key corresponding to the position of the desired character on the key and then press the alphanumeric key. Do not press the keys simultaneously. For example, to enter the letter “R” press the following key sequence:

			→
				P Q R
				6

Press the right shift key to activate the shift function; the right shift arrow icon appears in the upper right corner of the display. With right shift activated, press the 6 key; an “R” appears in the editable field. Press the shift key again to deactivate the shift function.

GETTING TO KNOW THE HART COMMUNICATOR

The HART Communicator is generally used in two environments — offline (not connected to a device) and online (connected to a device). The first menu displayed when you power up the Communicator is different for offline and online.

Powering up the Communicator when it is not connected to a device displays the message “No Device Found.” Press OK and the Main menu appears. Powering up the Communicator when it is connected to a device displays the Online menu for the device. From the Online menu, you can access the Main menu by pressing the left-arrow key.

Save as... saves your new configuration to either the Memory Module or the data pack 100. See Figure 1-16 and Figure 1-17. The Memory Module holds up to 10 typical configurations, and contains the operating system software, and device application software in nonvolatile memory. The data pack stores up to 100 typical configurations in nonvolatile removable memory.

FIGURE 1-16. Save As... Menu.

FIGURE 1-17. Location Menu.

You can also use the Save As... menu to enter or edit the configuration name and data type. Data Type Standard provides a Data Type menu with editable options. Standard is the set of editable variables used when defining a new device configuration. Partial is a set of marked variables. Full is the set of all device variables.

NOTE: Configurations created offline in the HART Communicator will not transfer to Asset Management Solutions (AMS) software; however, ‘Full’ configurations saved from a field device to a HART Communicator may be uploaded to AMS. Configurations saved as ‘Full’ from an online device may also be transferred directly to AMS.

After you have made all desired changes, save your new configuration to a storage location and return to the Offline menu. Refer to Storage Location Menu on page 1-28 for more information.

The PC option is not operational with this release. Refer to Listen for PC Menu on page 1-26 for details on interfacing with a PC.

Data Pack Contents Menu

Figure 1-19 shows the data pack Contents menu, displaying a listing of device configurations stored in the data pack. From the Saved Configuration menu (Figure 1-18), press 2 to access the data pack Contents menu.

FIGURE 1-19. Data Pack Contents Menu.

The following functions keys are available from the data pack Contents menu:

The FILTR function key opens a menu that provides Sort and Filter options for customizing your view of saved device configurations. Sort lets you group and display device configurations according to your choice of Tag, Descriptor, or Name. Tag Filter lets you view information according to what

1-17

you entered with Sort by picking characters from the device Tag, Descriptor, or Name.

When setting up a filter, you can use the period (.) to replace a single character of any value or the asterisk (*) to replace zero or more alphanumeric characters of any value.

For example, if you enter A-*-.1, it should match all device tags starting with A-, followed by any characters, followed by -, followed by any single character, and ending with a 1. That means only devices starting with A- and ending in 1, out of your list of saved device configurations, will display as a group on the Communicator’s screen.

The XPAND function key allows you to view the Tag, Descriptor, and Name for the current configuration. Select Compress to return to the previous compressed screen with the current Tag or Descriptor or Name.

Saved Configuration Menu (data pack Contents)
From the data pack Contents menu (Figure 1-19), press			to open the
Saved Configuration menu (Figure 1-20).

FIGURE 1-20. Saved Configuration Menu (data pack Contents).

The following functions are available from the Saved configuration menu:

Edit displays the Edit menu. These edit functions are the same as described under Edit individually on page 1-15. If you are editing online, remember that only stored data can be edited. A Partial configuration can be edited, but you must convert it to a Standard configuration in order to save your edits.

Copy to... specifies the storage location where you want the copy to be stored. You can also change the configuration name when using this option.

Send sends your saved configuration to a connected device.

Print requires AMS running in your computer. This option is intended for the future. See Listen for PC Menu on page 1-26 for more information.

Delete removes a saved configuration from the memory storage location. A confirmation message will appear. Press Yes or No to complete the function.

1-18

Rename accesses the Configuration Name editing menu. After making name changes, enter and save the data to return to the previous storage location menu.

Compare compares a selected device configuration from a stored location with another device configuration. The HART Communicator compares device types, variables, marked lists, etc. Messages will appear indicating whether the configurations compared are the same or different. Press OK to return to the storage location and your list of device configurations. Find and make any necessary changes resulting from your comparisons.

In order to produce a “Same / Differ” result, the following conditions must be met when comparing two configurations:

1.Device type (including manufacturer), device type number, device revision, and DD revision must match exactly.

2.Configurations can only be compared against other configurations containing the same set of variables. The Communicator will notify you if this condition is not met.

3.The format of data storage must match exactly. The Communicator will notify you if this condition is not met.

User assigned configuration names are not considered, as they will differ.

When the DD for a specific device is not available, your HART Communicator provides a generic interface. This generic interface enables you to perform functions common to all HART-compatible devices.

Figure 1-22 shows the Generic Online menu tree.

The Online (Generic) menu is the first menu in the generic interface. This menu displays critical, up-to-date device information such as the process variable (PV), analog output (AO), lower range value (LRV), and upper range value (URV). Configuration parameters for the connected device are accessed using the Device setup option.

The following functions are available from the Generic Online menu:

The SAVE function key allows you to save a configuration from a transmitted device. See Changing a Saved Configuration on page 1-29 for more details.

Device Setup accesses the Device Setup menu, containing configurable device parameters common to all HART-compatible devices.

PV (Primary Variable) displays the dynamic PV and the related engineering units. When the PV contains too many characters to display on the Online menu, press 1 to access the PV menu and view the PV and related engineering units.

AO (Analog Output) and related engineering units are displayed on the Online menu. The AO is the signal on the 4–20 mA scale that corresponds to the PV. When the analog output contains too many characters to display on the Online menu, press 3 to access the PV AO menu and view the AO output and related engineering units.

Current LRV (Lower Range Value) and related engineering units are displayed on the Online menu. When the LRV contains too many characters to display on the Online menu, press 4 to access the PV LRV menu and view the LRV and related engineering units.

Current URV (Upper Range Value) and the related engineering units are displayed on the Online menu. When the URV contains too many characters to display on the Online menu, press 5 to access the PV URV menu and view the URV and related engineering units.
