1.2.1 Physical Characteristics
As shown in Figure 1, the STT750 is packaged in one major assembly: The Electronics Housing. The
elements in the Electronic Housing are connected to the process sensors, measure the process
variables, respond to setup commands and execute the software and protocol for the different
temperature measurement types. Figure 2 shows the assemblies in the Electronics Housing with
available options.
Figure 1 – STT750 Major Assemblies
Figure 2 – Electronics Housing Components
Page 2 STT750 Series HART Option User’s Manual Revision 3.0
• T = Temperature
1.2.2 Functional Characteristics
The transmitter measures process temperature and outputs a signal proportional to the measured
process variable (PV). Available output communication protocols include analog 4 to 20 mA and
HART protocol.
An optional 3-button assembly is available to set up and m ak e adjustm ents to the transm itter. In addition,
a Honeywell Multi-Communication MC Toolkit (MCT404) (not supplied with the transmitter) can
facilitate setup and adjustment procedures in the case of HART.
1.3 STT750 SmartLine Transmitter NamePlate
The Transmitter nameplate mounted on the top of the Electronics Housing (see Figure 2) lists the
model number, physical configuration, electronics options, accessories, certifications, and
manufacturing specialties. Figure 3 is an example of a typical STT750 temperature Name plate. The
model number format consists of a Key Number with several table selections.
Figure 3 –Typical STT750 Nameplate
You can readily identify the series and basic transmitter type from the key number. The letter in the
third digit represents one of these basic transmitter types:
For a complete selection breakdown, refer to the appropriate Specification and Model Selection Guide
provided as a separate docum ent.
1.4 Safety Certification Information
An “approvals” name plate is located on the bottom of the Electronics Assembly; see Figure 1 for
exact location. The approvals name plate contains information and service marks that disclose the
transmitter compliance information. Refer to Appendix A in the STT750 SmartLine Transmitters
User’s Manual, document number 34-ST-25-13 for details.
1.5 Transmitter Adjustments
Span adjustments are possible in new generation STT750 SmartLine Temperature Transmitters by
using the optional 3-button assembly located at the top of the Electronic Housing, see Optional 3-
Button Assembly on page 5. However, certain c ap ab il i ties are limited in th e fo l lo w ing configurat ion s :
• Without a display –Span setting only for a HART device.
• With a display – Complete transm itter configuration is possible for a HART device.
Revision 3.0 STT750 Series HART Option User’s Manual Page 3
For HART you can also use the Honeywell MC Toolkit or other third-party hand-held to make any
adjustments to an STT750 SmartLine Temperature Transmitter. Alternately, certain adjustments can
be made through the Experion or Universal Station, if the transmitter is digitally integrated with a
Honeywell Experion or TPS system.

2 Communication Modes
2.1 Overview
The STT750 SmartLine Temperature Transmitter can be configured for operation with HART version
7 communication. This manual addresses the processes to configure and calibrate a transmitter for
HART communication.
2.2 HART Mode Communication
When using MCToolkit (MCT404), but before connecting to a HART transmitter, verify that
the FDC application is used and not the MC Toolkit application.
• Transmitters with HART capability have features that vary among manufacturers and with the
characteristics of specific devices. The FDC software application executing on the MCT404
supports the HART Universal, Common Practice and Device Specific Commands which are
implemented in the Honeywell transmitters.
As indicated in Figure 4, the output of a transmitter co nfig ured for HART protocol includes two
primary modes:
Figure 4 – HART Point-to-Point and Multi-drop Value Scaling
• Point-to-Point Mode, in which one transmitter is connected via a two-conductor, 4-20 mA
current loop to one receiver.
• Multi-Drop Mode, in which several transmitte rs are co nnec ted through a two-conductor
network to a multiplexed receiver device.
Revision 3.0 STT750 Series HART Option User’s Manual Page 7
In point-to-point mode, the value of the primary Process Variable (PV) is represented by a 4-20 mA
current loop, almost identical to that of a tr ansm itter operating in analog m ode. You can also have one
device in analog output mode when you are configured as multi-drop. In this case, however, the analog
signal is modulated by Frequency Shift Keying (FSK), using frequencies and current amplitude that do
not affect analog sensing at the receiver. The accuracy of the analog level must be precisely controlled
for accurate sensing. HART communication will not bump process variables.
In multi-drop mode, up to 16 transmitters in HART 5 (addresses 0-15) and up to 64 transmitters in
HART6/7 (addresses 0-63) can exist on the two-conductor network.

Startup tasks and procedures
3 Configuration Tools and Interfaces
3.1 Overview
This section describes the tools and interfaces involved in configuring a new STT750 SmartLine
Temperature Transmitter for HART communication operation. The information in this section also
applies to adjusting the configuration of a transmitter that has been in operation and updating one that
is currently in operation.
3.2 Pre-requisites
The information and procedures in this manual are based on the assumption that personnel performing
configuration and calibration tasks are fully qualified and knowledgeable in the use of the Honeywell
MCT404. The name MC Toolkit (MCT404) are used interchangeably as MCT404 is the model name
for the Honeywell MC Toolkit product. Furthermore, we assume that the reader is intimately familiar
with the STT750 family of SmartLine Temperature Transmitters and thoroughly experienced in the
type of process application targeted for transmitter deployment. Therefore, detailed procedures are
supplied only in so far as necessary to ensure satisfactory completion of configuration tasks.
3.3 Application Design, Installation, Startup, and Oper a ti on
The STT750 SmartLine Temperature Transmitters User’s Manual, document number 34-ST-25-13,
provides the details for application design, installation, and startup; see Table 3 for topics.

o Physical circuit connection s
o Application components
o Configuration for Analog and HART operation
• STT750 Transmitter
o Basic display
o Health indications
o Ability to be configured and operate in a process system
Revision 3.0 STT750 Series HART Option User’s Manual Page 9
3.4 MC Toolkit Participation
Before using the MC Toolkit, be sure that you are aware of the potential consequences of
each procedure, and that you use appropriate safeguards to avoid possible problems. For
example, if the transmitter is an element in a control loop, the loop needs to be put in manual
mode, and alarms and interlocks (i.e., trips) need to be disabled, as appropriate, before starting
a procedure.
3.4.1 MC Toolkit Software Applications
The MC Toolkit has two software applications to work with STT750 SmartLine Temperature
Transmitters:
• Field Device Configurator (FDC). This application is used for configuring, calibrating,
monitoring, and diagnosing HART devices. FDC conforms to the IEC 61804-3 EDDL
(Electronic Data Desc riptio n Lang uage) stan dard specific ation. The FDC application is an open
solution that supports devices with a registered device description (DD) file compatible with
HART Communication Foundation (HCF) requirements.
Details for work in g with the MC Toolkit are provided in the MC Toolkit User Manual, document,
#34-ST-25-50 (MCT404). In subsequent sections of this manual, explicit operating instructions are
provided only in so far as necessary to complete required tasks and procedures.
3.4.2 Configuration Databases
The MC Toolkit is used to establish and/or change selected operating pa ram eters in a transmitter
database.
3.4.3 Configuration
Configuration can be accomplished both online and offline with the transmitter powered up and
connected to the MC Toolkit. Online configuration immediately changes the transmitter operating
parameters. For offline configuration, transmitter operating characteristics are entered into Toolkit
memory for subsequent downloading to a transmitter.
When you set up or configure a transmitter, it can take up to 30 seconds for the value to
be stored in it. If you change a value and transmitter power is interrupted before the change
is copied to nonvolatile memory, the changed value will not be moved to nonvolatile memory.

4 HART Transmitter Configuration
4.1 Overview
Each new STT750 Temperature Transmitter configured for HART protocol is shipped from the factory
with a basic configuration database installed. This basic configuration database must be edited or
revised to meet the requirements of your process system. The process in this section assumes that you
will use the Field Device Communicator (FDC) application for HART configura tion tasks. The FDC
application provides the facilities for the online and offline configuration of trans mitters operating with
HART protocol
Online configuration requires that the transmitter and MC Toolkit are connected and communication
between the two has been established. Online co nfiguration provides a set of functions with which to
perform various operations on a HART communication network through an active communication
link. These operations primarily include configuration, calibration, monitoring, and diagnostics.
Typically, these operations could be realized through various constructs exposed by the Device
Description (DD) file. In addition, the FDC application provides some functions for convenient
execution of these functions.
Offline Configuration refers to configuring a device when the device is not physically present or
communicating with the application. This process enables you to create and save a configuration for a
device, even when the device is not there physically. Later when the device becomes available with
live communication, the same configuration can be downloaded to the device. This feature enables you
to save on device commissioning time and even helps you to replicate the configuration in multiplicity
of devices with lesser efforts. Currently, FDC does not support creating offline configuration.
However, it supports importing of offline configuration from FDM R310 or later versions. The
configurations thus imported can be downloaded to the device from FDC.
The following are the tasks that you need to perform for importing offline configuration in FDC
application software and then downloading it to the device.
• Create offline configuration template in FDM
• Save the configuration in FDM in FDM format.
• Import the offline configuration in FDC
• Download the offline configuration to the device
Note: For details on creating and using offline configuration, refer to section Offline configuration in
FDM User’s Guide.
4.1.1 Personnel Requirements
The information and procedures in this section are based on the assumption that the person
accomplishing configuration tasks is fully qualified and knowledgeable on the use of the MC Toolkit
and is intimately familiar with the STT750 family of SmartLine Temperature Transmitters. Therefore,
detailed procedures are supplied only in so far as necessary to ensure satisfactory configuration. The
other HART configuration tools are Honeywell Experion in conjunction with FDM, iDTMs running
on FDM or Pactware, and Emerson 375/475. The organization of Device Configuration and Parameter
Descriptions on page 24 is given in

4.2.1 Settings
Use this feature to customize FDC. You can customize FDC for device detection, DD selection, and
other application settings.
4.2.1.1 Device Identification
Use the following options to configure FDC to identify a device.
• Using Poll Address
− Use poll address 0 only: Use this to detect a device with the poll address as zero.
− Find first poll address and use: Use this to detect a device with the first available
poll address in the range of poll addresses that are avai lab le.
− Use selected poll address: Use this to detect a device with a specific poll address in
the range of zero to 63.
− Use From: Use this to detect a device based on a range of poll addresses.
Using Device TAG: Use this to detect a device with a known HART tag.
•
Using Device LONG TAG: Use this to detect a device with a known HART long tag
•
(applicable for devices with HART 6 or later Universal revisions).
Note: If you choose the option Using Device TAG or Using Device LONG TAG, FDC prompts you to
enter a device tag/long tag name during device detection.
4.2.1.2 DD selection
Use the following options to configure FDC to select DD files when a DD with matching device
revision is not available.
- Use DD file of previous device revision: Use this option to automatically communicate using
a DD file having device revision lower than that of the device.
- Use generic DD file: Use this option to automatically communicate to the device using an
appropriate generic DD file.
- Always ask user: Use this option to always prompt you with a choice for communicating to
the device either using the previous device revision or using a generic DD file.
- Always Use Generic: Use this option to always communicate to the device using generic DD
files even if a DD file with matching device revision as the device is present.
Note: A generic DD file is a DD file that provides access and interface to the universal data and
features of a HART device.
4.2.1.3 Other settings
Low storage notification: Use this option to set a percentage value and to notify you with a warning
message when the available storage card space is less than the percentage set.
Application diagnostics: Use this option to enable or disable the logging infrastructure for application
diagnostics. With this option enabled, FDC creates necessary log files for troubleshooting and
diagnostics. These files are stored in SD Card\FDC folder.
Note: You must not enable this option unless suggested by Honeywell TAC because this may impact
the application performance.
4.2.2 Manage DDs
Using this feature, you can manage the DD files installed with FDC. A DD file contains descriptive
information about the functionality of a device. By default, a set of DD files are installed with FDC.
Revision 3.0 STT750 Series HART Option User’s Manual Page 15
However, if you do not have a DD for a given device, you can install it using the “Add DD” feature.
Similarly, you can uninstall a DD file or a set of DD files using “Delete DD” feature. You can also
directly copy the DD files in appropriate hierarchy using a card reader or “Active Sync/Mobile Device
Center” mechanisms. In such a case, you should validate the library view using the “Refresh” feature.
4.2.2.1 Overview
Using Manage DDs, you can view, add, or delete DD files for devices. A list of already available DD
files is maintained in the DD Library. FDC lists the installed DD files in a hierarchy as below:
Manufacturer
Device Type
DevRev xx, DDRev yy
DevRev pp, DDRev qq
4.2.2.2 Add a DD file
To add a DD file for a device, perform the following steps.
1. From the FDC homepage, tap Manage DDs > Select.
The Manage DDs dialog box appears.

revision to delete the specific DD
3. Tap Options > Delete DD.
Or
Tap .
A confirmation message appears.
4. Tap Yes.
If the DD file is deleted successfully, a success message appears.
5. Tap OK to return to DD Library page.
4.2.2.4 Validating a manually edited library
Besides using the Add/Delete DD features, advanced users may also manipulate a DD library by
directly editing the contents of the FDC\Library folder. DD files can also be transferred directly to this
location by accessing the SD Card on MCT101 through a card reader and/or by connecting the
MCT404 to a PC. In such cases, you must perform the following steps to validate a DD Library, thus
edited manually:
1. From the FDC ho mepage , tap Manage DDs > Select
The Manage DDs dialog box appears
2. Tap Options.
3. Tap Refresh Library.
Or
Tap .
A confirmation message appears.
4. Tap Yes. The DD library is now validated and refreshed.

4.2.3 Online configuration
Using online configuration, you can configure, calibrate, monitor and diagnose a HART device which
is connected to MC Toolkit. FDC provides the features to perform these functions through the various
constructs offered through the DD file of the device. Besides there are certain other features available
under this link for you to conveniently work with a HART device with live communication. After
making changes to the device you can also save a snapshot of the device data as history to later
transfer it to FDM for record and audit purposes.
4.2.4 Offline configuration
Offline configuration refers to configuring a device offline (without physically connecting to
the device) using a template and then downloading the configuration to the device. Presently,
FDC application software does not support creating offline configuration. However, it
supports importing of offline configuration from FDM (R310 and above).
4.2.5 Online Configuration Overview
Online Configuration option provides you a set of functions with which you can perform various
operations on a device with an active communication link. These operations primarily include
configuration, calibration, monitoring, and diagnostics of a HART device. Typically, these operations
could be realized through various constructs exposed by the DD file of the device. In addition, FDC
also provides some additional application functions for you to perform these functions more
conveniently.
Online configuration includes a set of functions to perform various operations on a transmitter with
active communication link. These operations primarily include:
• Identifying a transmitter
• Reading and reviewing transmitter variable values
• Editing transmitter variable values
• Downloading the selected/edited variable set to the transmitter
4.2.5.1 Detecting and loading a device
Tap the Online Configuration button on the Application Home page.
The device detection and loading process automatically gets started. Depending upon the Device
Detection and DD Selection settings you may have chosen, you may be prompted for certain inputs as
described in the Settings section.
