Polling is a method of determining which devices are
present on a network. The V(FUN) is the first unpolled
node address. V(NUN) is the number of unpolled node
addresses. The addresses between V(FUN) and
V(FUN)+V(NUN)-1 are not polled. The default value for
V(FUN) is 200 and the default value for V(NUN) is zero.
Narrowing the range of devices being polled provides a
quicker Live Device List refresh.
The DeltaV System Polling checkbox instructs the 375
Field Communicator to use the same polling scheme as
DeltaV.
To change the polling addresses:
1. From the Fieldbus application main menu, double-tap
Utility.
2. Double-tap Polling.
3. Enter addresses in the V(FUN) and V(NUN) fields and
tap OK.
From the Fieldbus Utility menu, double-tap Link
Settings. Select the default Slot Time of eight to allow
the devices to be seen on the 375 Field Communicator
Live Device List. It may be necessary to change the Slot
Time to 16 in order to view older devices on the 375
Field Communicator Live Device List. For a list of the
affected devices, see www.fieldcommunicator.com.
