8. OPERATION VIA HART COMMUNICATOR

Example: Communication when set in the multidrop mode.

F0820-1.EPS

The HART Communicator searches for field devices that are set in the multidrop mode when the HART Communicator is turned on.

When the HART Communicator is connected to one of these field devices, tag will be displayed.

Select the desired field device. After that, normal communication with the selected field device is possible. The communication speed, however, is slow in this case.

To communicate with another field device, open display 3 , and select “Online”.

Display 1 will appear. Repeat the above operation.

F0820-2.EPS

Exiting Multidrop Mode

First, open the “Poll addr” display, and assign the address to 0.

Then, open the “Polling” display, and select “Never Poll”.

NOTE

If the above exiting method is carried out in the reverse order, the “Online” menu cannot be called up.
