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

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 make adjustments to the transmitter. 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:

•T = Temperature

For a complete selection breakdown, refer to the appropriate Specification and Model Selection Guide provided as a separate document.

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 capabilities are limited in the following configurations:

•Without a display –Span setting only for a HART device.

•With a display – Complete transmitter configuration is possible for a HART device.

Revision 3.0

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 configured 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 transmitters are connected 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 transmitter operating in analog mode. 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.

Revision 3.0

3Configuration Tools and Interfaces

3.1Overview

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 Operation

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 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 Description Language) standard specification. 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 working 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 parameters 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.

4HART Transmitter Configuration

4.1Overview

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 configuration tasks. The FDC application provides the facilities for the online and offline configuration of transmitters operating with HART protocol

Online configuration requires that the transmitter and MC Toolkit are connected and communication between the two has been established. Online configuration 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 Table 6.

Revision 3.0

4.2.1 Settings

Use this feature to customize FDC. You can customize FDC for device detection, DD selection, and other application settings.

4.2.1.1Device 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 available.

−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.

4.2.1.2DD 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.

4.2.1.3Other 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.

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.

4.2.2.1Overview

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

4.2.2.2Add 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.

2.Tap Options > Add DD.

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.

4.2.4Offline 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).

4.2.5Online 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

4.2.5.1Detecting 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.
