Emerson Process Management 1500 manual 1.5Communication tools, 1.6Planning the configuration

Before You Begin

1.5Communication tools

Most of the procedures described in this manual require the use of a communication tool. To configure and use the Model 1500 transmitter with the filling and dosing application, you must use ProLink II v2.3 or later, or a customer-written program that uses the transmitter’s Modbus interface. For certain features, ProLink II v2.5 or later is required; this is noted where applicable.

Basic information on ProLink II and connecting ProLink II to your transmitter is provided in Chapter 2. For more information, see the ProLink II manual, installed with the ProLink II software or available on the Micro Motion web site (www.micromotion.com).

For information on the transmitter’s Modbus interface, see:

•Using Modbus Protocol with Micro Motion Transmitters, November 2004, P/N 3600219, Rev. C (manual plus map)

•Modbus Mapping Assignments for Micro Motion Transmitters, October 2004, P/N 20001741, Rev. B (map only)

Both of these manuals are available on the Micro Motion web site.

1.6Planning the configuration

The pre-configuration worksheet in Section 1.7 provides a place to record information about your flowmeter (transmitter and sensor) and your application. This information will affect your configuration options as you work through this manual. Fill out the pre-configuration worksheet and refer to it during configuration. You may need to consult with transmitter installation or application process personnel to obtain the required information.

If you are configuring multiple transmitters, make copies of this worksheet and fill one out for each individual transmitter.
