PACTw re™ – Configuration and Troubleshooting
For more details about the use of PACTw re™ and FDT technology, refer to instruction manual 59-601
WHAT IS FDT, PACTware AND DTM
• FDT (Field Device Tool) is a new interface code that
describes the standardization between frame programs
(e.g, PACTw re) and DTMs (Device Type Manager).
• PACTw re (Process Automation Configuration Tool)
is a frame program. It is a device-independent software
program that communicates with all approved DTMs.
• DTM (Device Type Manager) is a device-specific soft-
ware driver designed to operate within a FDT compatible
frame program such as PACTware. It includes all special
information needed to communicate with a specific
device (e.g, Pulsar RX5). There are two basic categories
of DTM's—Communication (HART, Fieldbus
etc.) and Field Device (e.g. Pulsar RX5 Radar transmit-
ter).
CONNECTIONS
The following diagram shows a typical hardware configura-
tion. Observe all safety codes when attaching to instrument
loops in hazardous areas or when measuring flammable
media. Computers are not intrinsically safe devices.

QUICK START

1. Start a project
Open Pactware and add the Hart modem key and then
the Magnetrol instrument to your project.
Select: «Device» – «add device» – select device
(repeat for each device in your project)
Important: Make sure that the COM port settings for
your Hart modem key are correct;
2. Connect the devices
Select in the left window the Magnetrol instrument.
Select: «Device» – «connect» (both modem and
Magnetrol instrument are getting connected)
3. Configure the instrument
,
Select: «Device» – «parameter» – «Online
®
parameterization»
Open «+ Main Menu» and select «+ Device set
up» – «Calibration»
Parameters can be changed in the window at right, via
the drop down boxes. ENTER confirms the change
online.
4. Troubleshoot / Monitior the instrument
Process trend:
Select: «Device» – «Additional
«Process Trend»
Process trend: all key data (level % Output, Loop, Signal
strength) can be trended and saved, time scales can be
adapted.
Echo Curve:
Select: «Device» – «Additional
«Echo Curve»
Echo Curve: shows the actual waveform. The echo
curve is an efficient tool for advanced calibration and
troubleshooting.
Present Status:
Open Main Menu and select «+ Device set up» –
«Diagnostics» – «Present status»
Present status: shows the entire overview of all
detectable faults and warnings. Blank boxes indicate the
healthy condition of the instrument. Ticked off boxes
indicate for a possible fault or warning.
