1.1Introduction

Function

Smart Field

Instruments (SFIs)

ATTENTION

Operation

The hand-held Smart Field Communicator(SFC), Model STS103 is a battery-powered device which establishes two-way communications between Honeywell’s Smart Field Instruments (SFIs) and an operator over the existing SFI signal lines. The operator can send data to and receive data from the SFI’s microprocessor, through the STS103, when connected to the SFI’s signal lines at any accessible location from the control room to the Smart Field Instrument.

There are many current SFIs with which the STS103 communicates. The STS103 is designed for expansion and will be used with other new SFIs as they become available. The current Honeywell smart field instruments with which the STS103 may be used are listed below.

∙Smart Pressure Transmitter ST 3000,

∙Smart Temperature Transmitter STT 3000,

∙Magnetic Mass Flowmeter MagneW 3000,

∙Smart Coriolis Mass Flowmeter SCM 3000,

∙Smart Gas Chromatograph SGC 3000, and

∙Smart Multivariable Transmitter SMV 3000.

The specific instructions for using the SFC with SCM 3000, and SGC 3000 are contained in User’s Manual for that specific instrument.

You can use the STS103 to

∙Select the Communications Mode – Command the SFI to transmit its output signal in either an Analog (4-20 mA) mode or in the Digital Communications (DE) mode.

∙Configure – Enter the desired operating parameters (For example: LRV, URV, Damping, Failsafe Mode, Configuration Parameters) into the Smart Field Instrument.

∙Diagnose – Access the SFI self-diagnostic capabilities to troubleshoot suspected operation or communication problems.

∙Calibrate – The SFC provides a simplified procedure for calibrating Smart Field Instruments, thus maintaining excellent accuracy with significantly reduced maintenance requirements.

∙Display – Readout all the configured operating parameters from the SFI as well as other data such as PROM Serial Number, Device ID, Scratch pad memory, Sensor Temperature, Input values in selected Engineering Units, and others.

Figure 1-4 STS103 Battery Pack

20722

Charging the batteries The battery pack is charged by plugging the battery charger into an outlet and inserting the lead into the charging terminal of the STS103. The battery pack takes a minimum of 10 hours to charge and the STS103 may be used continuously for up to 24 hours before the battery pack needs recharging. A colon (:) will be appear in the middle of the top line on the LCD display when the battery pack needs charging.

STS103 charging terminal

The battery pack is charged through a battery charger that plugs into the charging terminal. The charger inputs 110 or 220 Vac 50/60 Hz and outputs 7 Vdc 180 mA to the NiCd battery pack. The connector of the battery charger is inserted into the charging terminal on left side of the STS103 by the ON/OFF switch.

Self-diagnostics

When the STS103 is turned on, it automatically runs diagnostics on its functions. Upon successful completion of the diagnostics, the message,

“PUT LOOP IN MAN” (analog communications) or “DE-XMTR PRESS ID” (digital communications)

1.4STS103/SFI Communication

How data is transferred

Types of communication

Sending and receiving data to and from an SFI is done over the transmitter’s 4-20 mA wires. When the STS103 is connected to a transmitter and turned on, it automatically determines what type of transmitter it is communicating with. When data is sent to a transmitter, a request is sent to the transmitter and a response is sent back to the STS103. When the STS103 and SFI are communicating, the message “SFC Working...” is displayed on the STS103.

The message handling routines are transparent to you. The way the request and response messages are handled depend on whether the transmitter is an analog only model or an analog/digital model, and the mode configuration.

Analog communications uses half duplex communication (data can be sent in one direction at a time, to the transmitter or to the STS103) while the digital communication uses half duplex with or without broadcast (4 or 6 bytes). Table 1-3 describes the communication formats used.

Table 1-3 Communication Format Description

Format	Description

Analog

Communication

Mode

DE READ

A

ID

Digital (DE)

Communication

Mode

DE READ

^A

SHIFT ID

Analog communication uses a half-duplex , variable-length message with a wake-up pulse for on-demand requests and responses. While the messages travel back and forth, the transmitter’s output varies between 4-20 mA, therefore, the control loop must be in manual so the data exchange does not interfere with the control loop.

Digital communication also uses a half-duplex , variablelength message with no wake-up pulse for on-demand requests and responses (not including data uploads). The data is piggybacked on the process variable data being sent on the control loop.

The broadcast 4-byte format is rarely used because no database protection can be performed when used in the TDC 3000 system. This mode is only used when faster PV update rates are required. One byte is for transmitter status and configuration data; the other three are for process data.

The broadcast 6-byte format is used for uploading the transmitter’s database to the STS103’s hold memory. The bytes are similar to the 4-byte format, but it includes two additional bytes of transmitter database information.

1.4STS103/SFI Communication, Continued

Analog data exchange When the STS103 communicates with an analog transmitter, a 26 mA wake-up pulse is sent to the transmitter to put the device into the communication mode. The pulse also causes the current drawn by the device to drop to 4 mA. Data is then exchanged in an analog fashion (4-20 mA) between the STS103 and SFI. Figure 1-6 shows a typical analog data exchange using the STS103.

1The STS103 waits at least 100 msec for any digital communications.

2The STS103 detects the transmitter message length and gap location.

3The STS103 synchronizes its operation with the next transmitter message.

4The STS103 transmits a request and message during the next intermessage gap.

5The transmitter halts broadcasting process variable (PV) data when the request is detected.

6After receipt of a complete message, the transmitter returns to its configured broadcast mode and processes a response message.

7After completion of processing, the transmitter sends the response message in half duplex protocol after the next PV data broadcast.

8Upon completion of the data transfer, the transmitter returns to its configured broadcast mode within 100 msec.
