SMV 3000 /SCT Connections

SFC and SMV 3000 Configuration

When using a Honeywell-defined SMV template, you should choose a file template for the temperature range and model of SMV that you wish to configure.

For example, if the SMV transmitter is a model SMA125 and you are using a J-type thermocouple as the process temperature PV3 input, you would choose the template file sma125j.hdt from the list of Honeywell templates. You would then enter the configuration parameters in the fields of the tab cards displayed in the SCT window.

Configuration is complete when you have entered all parameters in the template’s tab cards, (and for flow applications you have entered all flow data in the flow compensation wizard). You then save the template file containing the SMV transmitter’s database as a disk file.

Refer to Section 5.2 Establishing Communications or the SCT on-line user manual for connecting the SCT and SMV for on-line configuration.

We do not recommend that you configure the SMV using the Smart Field Communicator (SFC). Some of the advanced functions of the SMV transmitter are not supported by the SFC. However you can use the SFC to perform certain operations, such as calibrate or re-range the transmitter, read transmitter status and diagnose faults.
