INTRODUCTION

UM344-2

The HART protocol is used for communication between the transmitter and a Moore XTC Communicator (MXC), a personal computer running MXTC Configuration Software or other remote device. A typical communication can be to: transfer a new and edited configuration, remotely monitor the process variable, or service a transmitter.

DIGITAL MODE: One to fifteen transmitters can be parallel connected to a Multi-Drop Network using only twisted-pair cable. The HART protocol is employed to send all process variable information to a HART-compatible controller, recorder, or other device.

A mounting bracket is included and permits either pipe mounting (2" pipe) or wall mounting. When attached to a thermowell, the Transmitter can be mounted directly to a process vessel, chamber, or flow pipe.

1.3 CONFIGURATION

A smart transmitter must be configured before being used on-line or off-line. Each transmitter is shipped with either a default configuration or, if specified at time of order, a custom configuration defined by the user. A default configuration may need to be edited by the user before the transmitter is used in a loop.

1.4 PRODUCT SUPPORT

Product support can be obtained from the Moore Products Co. Technical Information Center (TIC). TIC is a customer service center that provides direct phone support on technical issues related to the functionality, application, and integration of all products supplied by Moore Products Co.

To contact TIC for support, either call 215-646-7400, extension 4TIC (4842) or leave a message in the bulletin board service (BBS) by calling 215-283-4958. The following information should be at hand when contacting TIC for support:

∙Caller ID number, or name and company name

When someone calls for support for the first time, a personal caller number is assigned. This number is mailed in the form of a caller card. Having the number available when calling for support will allow the TIC representative taking the call to use the central customer database to quickly identify the caller’s location and past support needs.

∙Product part number or model number and version

∙If there is a problem with a product’s operation:

∙Is the problem intermittent or constant?

∙What steps were performed before the problem occurred?

∙What steps have been performed since the problem occurred?

∙What symptoms accompany the problem? Is an error message displayed?

∙What is the installation environment? For example:

-type of plant and process, involved loop, control strategy, and related equipment.

-workstation or personal computer manufacturer and model, amount of memory, and operating system.
