Menu Structure

The Field Communicator is generally used in two
environments: offline (when not connected to an
instrument) and online (connected to an instrument).

Offline Operation

Selecting HART Application when not connected to a
FIELDVUE instrument causes the Field Communicator
to display the message "No device found at address 0.
Poll?" Selecting "Yes" or "No" will bring you to the
HART Application menu. Three choices are available
from this screen: Offline, Online and Utility. The Offline
menu allows you to create offline configurations, as
well as view and change device configurations stored
on the 375 Field Communicator. The Utility menu
allows you to set the polling option, change the
number of ignored status messages, view the
available Device Descriptions, perform a simulation,
and view HART diagnostics.

Saving Setup and Calibration Data

You can upload setup and calibration data from the
DVC2000 digital valve controller and save it in the
Field Communicator Internal Flash or a Configuration
Expansion Module. From the Offline menu you can
then download this data to multiple devices so that
they all contain the same setup and calibration data.
You can also edit the saved data.
You upload setup and calibration data from the Online
menu. This requires that the Field Communicator be
connected to a digital valve controller powered by a
4-20 mA source. To save data from any Online menu
select the SAVE key. Follow the prompts on the Field
Communicator to save the data to the Internal Flash or
the Configuration EM and name the saved data. Once
the data is saved, the SAVE key disappears until you
change the data in the instrument.
Downloading the saved data requires that you first
mark the configurable variables you wish to download
(the default is all variables unmarked). To do this, from
the Offline menu select Saved Configuration.
Depending on the location of the saved data, select
either Internal Flash Contents or Configuration EM
Contents. Select the name for the saved data. From
the Saved Configuration menu select Edit.
From the Edit menu you can mark all configurable
variables for download, unmark all configurable
variables so none are downloaded, edit each variable
individually, or save your configuration to the internal
flash or the optional configuration expansion module.
The following briefly describes each item on the menu.

375 Field Communicator − 00375-0047-001.
D Mark All—flags all configurable variables to be
sent to a HART-compatible device. Configurable
