This appendix provides basic communicator information on both the Rosemount 275 and Rosemount 375 HART Communicators when used with a Rosemount 3051N Smart Pressure Transmitter. The Rosemount 275 and Rosemount 375 HART Communicators are not qualified, but may be used as Measurement and Test Equipment (MTE) as documented in Rosemount Report D2001019.
When the HART Communicator is referenced, it refers to either the Rosemount 275 or Rosemount 375.
This brief appendix will familiarize you with the HART Communicator but is not meant to replace the HART Communicator product manual. For additional information on the HART Communicator, refer to the HART Communicator Product Manual, publication number
NOTE
You may need to upgrade the software in your HART Communicator in order to take advantage of all features of the Rosemount 3051N. If you initiate communication with a Rosemount 3051N using a Communicator that has a previous version of the transmitter Device Descriptors (DDs), the communicator will display the following message:
Notice: Upgrade software to access XMTR function. Continue with old description?
If you select YES, the communicator will communicate properly with the transmitter using the existing Rosemount 3051N DDs. However, software features added since the revision of the DDs in the communicator will not be accessible. If you select NO, the communicator will default to a generic transmitter functionality.
