Supplementary Installation and Operating Instructions UFC 030 HART

HC275, FC375, AMS, PDM

1 General Information

The UFC 030 is a “four-wire” transmitter with 4...20mA current output and HART capability. Dependent on device
implementation it is available with active/passive current output (standard) or passive current output (MODIS).

General Characteristics of the UFC 030 HART interface:

• Multidrop Mode is supported

• Burst Mode is not supported

Electrical connection: Refer to section “Electrical connection of the signal inputs and outputs” of the following manual:

• “Installation and Operating Instructions Universal 3-Beam ultrasonic flowmeter UFM 3030 Compact
ultrasonic flowmeter UFC 030 Ultrasonic flow converter UFS 3000 Ultrasonic flow sensor” (KROHNE)

There are two ways of using the HART communication:

a) As a point-to-point connection between the UFC 030 and the HART master equipment. The instrument's current
output may be active or passive.

In case the UFC 030's current output shall work continuously active a 'third wire' is needed to properly connect it
together with two-wire loop powered devices in the same network.

Supplementary Installation and Operating Instructions UFC 030 HART

HC275, FC375, AMS, PDM

3 HART Communicator 275 (HC275), Field Communicator 375 (FC375)

3.1 Installation

The UFC 030 HART Device Description has to be installed on the HC275 and FC375 respectively. Otherwise the
user will work with the instrument as a generic one thus loosing opportunity for entire instrument control.
For installing DDs on the HC275 a ‘HART Communicator Module Programmer’ is needed (see details in the ‘Module
Programmer User’s Guide’).
For installing DDs on the FC375 the ‘Easy Upgrade Programming Utility’ is needed and the FC375 must have a
System Card with ‘Easy Upgrade’ option (see details in the ‘375 Field Communicator User’s Manual’).

3.2 Operating

Refer to the UFC 030 Menu Tree HC275 / FC375 (Attachment A).
The UFC 030 operation via HC275 / FC375 is made quite close to the manual instrument control via keypad.
Due to limitations of the HC275 / FC375 there are some peculiarities:

• The online help of each parameter is only a short form help. However it contains the function number as a
reference to the device’s local display and the “Installation and Operating Instructions” for a comprehensive
description.

• Some selection lists (e.g. for output functions) may contain items which are actually not valid for the device
concerned. However invalid settings are rejected when trying to send them to the device.

Parameter protection via passwords (Entry Code, Service Code) is the same as on local display. Please refer to the
online help for valid symbols according to device’s keypad.
The set of parameters of the HC275 “standard configuration” is only a partial set which doesn’t contain service
parameters. However the HC275 “full configuration” contains a complete set of parameters. Prior to sending a “full
configuration” to a device the Service Code protection must be disabled in case. Both types of configurations can be
transferred to AMS.
The FC375 always creates a “full” configuration for interaction with AMS. Still the FC375 considers only a partial
parameter set (like the HC275 “standard configuration”) when sending it to a device.

4 Asset Management Solutions (AMS)

4.1 Installation

If the UFC 030 Device Description is not already installed on the AMS System a so called Installation Kit UFC 030
HART AMS is needed (available as download from KROHNE ‘Download Centre’ on the internet or on floppy disk /

CD-ROM from KROHNE).
For installing the DD with the Installation Kit refer to the “AMS Intelligent Device Manager Books Online" section

"Basic AMS Functionality /Device Configurations / Installing Device Types / Procedures /Install device types from
media”. Please read also the “readme.txt”, which is also contained in the Installation Kit.

4.2 Operating

Refer to the UFC 030 Menu Tree AMS (Attachment B).
Due to AMS requirements and conventions the UFC 030 operation differs to some extent from operation with HC275
/ FC375 and via local keypad.
Due to limitations of the HC275 / FC375 which affect also AMS there are some peculiarities:

• The online help of each parameter is only a short form help. However it contains the function number as a
reference to the device’s local display and the “Installation and Operating Instructions” for a comprehensive
description.

• Some selection lists (e.g. for output functions) may contain items which are actually not valid for the device
concerned. However invalid settings are rejected when trying to send them to the device.

Parameter protection via passwords (Entry Code, Service Code) is the same as on local display. Please refer to the
online help for valid symbols according to device’s keypad.
