Using Display Using HART CommunicatorUsing ProLink IIBefore You Begin

Note: ProLink II uses the Model 1500/1700/2500/2700 device descriptions for the LF-Series
field-mount transmitters. Accordingly, when you connect to an LF-Series transmitter, you will see a
Model 1500/1700/2500/2700 model code on the ProLink II screen.

3.2 Requirements

To use ProLink II with an LF-Series transmitter, the following are required:

• ProLink II v2.0 or later (some LF models require later versions of ProLink II)

• Signal converter, to convert the PC’s serial port signal to the signal used by the transmitter

- For RS-485 connections, an RS-485 to RS-232 signal converter. The Black Box

RS-232 <-> 2-wire RS-485 Interface Converter (Code IC521A-F) signal converter is
available from Micro Motion. Contact Micro Motion if you need an RS-485 signal
converter.

- For Bell 202 connections, a HART interface. The MACTek

Interface is available from Micro Motion. Contact Micro Motion if you need a HART
interface.

3.3 ProLink II configuration upload/download

ProLink II provides a configuration upload/download function which allows you to save configuration
sets to your PC. This allows:

• Easy backup and restore of transmitter configuration

• Easy replication of configuration sets

Micro Motion recommends that all transmitter configurations be downloaded to a PC as soon as the
configuration is complete.

To access the configuration upload/download function:

1. Connect ProLink II to your transmitter as described in this chapter.

2. Open the

Load from Xmtr to File option.

• To restore or load a configuration file to a transmitter, use the
option.

3.4 Connecting from a PC to an LF-Series field-mount transmitter

Depending on your transmitter, there are several options for connecting ProLink II to your transmitter.
See Table 3-1.

Note: Service port connections use standard settings, do not require transmitter configuration, and
are always available. Therefore, they are easy and convenient. However, service port connections
require opening the power supply compartment. Accordingly, service port connections should be used
only for temporary connections, and may require extra safety precautions.

Note: Due to the design of HART protocol, connections made using HART protocol are slower than
connections that use Modbus protocol. If you use HART protocol, you cannot open more than one
ProLink II window at a time.
