WARNING!
To avoid causing an explosion:
Do not open a non-intrinsically safe wiring compartment in a hazardous
area.
Do not use the computer running ProLink III in a hazardous area without
following the proper procedures (such as obtaining a hot work permit).
An improper connection between ProLink III and the transmitter can cause
an explosion. Be sure to connect ProLink III to the transmitter using safe
methods.
3. Add resistance if required. Many HART connections require added
resistance. See the ProLink III user manual for more information.
4. For Modbus network connections, ensure that ProLink III is the
only Modbus master currently active on the network.
There are additional methods for connecting ProLink III to your
transmitter, including connecting over a network. See the transmitter
configuration and use manual for complete information.
Step 3: Connect to a device with ProLink III
1. Start ProLink III.
2. On the ProLink III start-up screen, select Connect to Physical
Device. The Connect to Physical Device screen displays.
3. Use the Protocol parameter to specify your connection type. For
HART/Bell 202 with USB port connections using the supplied
converter, enable Toggles RTS.
4. Set Serial Port to the PC COM port you are using to connect to the
transmitter.
If you are using a USB converter and need to locate the COM port
for the connection, refer to the Windows Device Manager to
obtain that information.
5. Specify additional communication parameters.
If you are making a service port connection or HART/Bell 202
connection, default values are used for all remaining
communication parameters. No configuration is required.

March 2016
If you are connecting to a Model 5700 device, or to an MVD
Quick Start Guide
Direct Connect system, the core processor auto-detects
incoming communications settings and switches to match.
If you are connecting to any Model 2400S or 9739 MVD
devices using the service port:
- For point-to-point connections, you can use a service port
connection type.
- For multidrop network connections, you can use any RS-485
connection type and specify the transmitter’s Modbus
address. The transmitter auto-detects incoming
communications settings and switches to match.
For all other connection types, see the ProLink III user manual
for more information on the default communication values. If
your transmitter is not using default values, refer to site
documentation for the values you are using.
Note
ProLink III automatically sets data bits appropriately for the configured protocol.
Even though a data bits parameter may be configured in the transmitter, you do
not need to configure it in ProLink III. HART protocol is always 8 data bits. If your
transmitter is configured for Modbus with 7 data bits, specify Modbus ASCII; if your
transmitter is configured for Modbus with 8 data bits, specify Modbus RTU.
If you know the unit’s address you can connect that way or by the
tag, or you can poll to find a list of transmitters and then connect to
the one you want.
6. Select the Connect button. ProLink III will attempt to make the
connection.
If you are making a service port connection to a Model 1700/
2700, Model 2400S, 9739 MVD, LFT field-mount, Model
2200S, or Model 5700 device, you can make the connection at
any time.
If you are connecting to a Model 1500/2500, Series 3000, or
LFT DIN rail mount transmitter, the RS-485 terminals are
available in service port mode for 10 seconds after transmitter
power-up.
- If a service port connection is made during this interval, the
terminals will remain in service port mode until the next
power cycle, and you can make a service port connection at
any time.

Quick Start Guide
- If no connection is made during this interval, the terminals
switch to RS-485 mode and you can make an RS-485
connection at any time. If the terminals are in one mode and
you want to use the other mode, you must power cycle the
transmitter to reset the mode, then make the appropriate
connection at the appropriate time.
If you are using any other connection type, you can make the
connection at any time.
7. If ProLink III fails to connect:
Try adding resistance to the connection. See the ProLink III user
manual for more information.
For Modbus connections, swap the RS-485 leads at the
transmitter terminals and try again.
For Modbus connections, ensure that ProLink III is the only
Modbus master currently active on the network.
If you are using Modbus ASCII protocol, ensure that Modbus
ASCII support is enabled on your transmitter.
For HART connections to Model 1700/2700, 8600D, 8712E,
8712H, 8732E, or 8800D transmitters with the intrinsically safe
outputs option board, ensure that the terminals are externally
powered.
For HART connections to the USB port:
- Ensure that you have checked Toggles RTS in the ProLink III
Connect to Physical Device screen.
- Ensure that the required Windows driver is installed on your
PC. If this driver is not installed, Windows will not recognize
the USB converter when it is plugged into the USB port.
For additional troubleshooting suggestions, see the ProLink III
user manual.
