Verifying Communication With The Transmitter; Identify The Transmitter; Table 2: Transmitter Parameters - Honeywell ST700 User Manual

2.2

Verifying communication with the transmitter

On the operator interface, establish communication with the device on the Fieldbus network.
If the device is not visible on the network, verify that the device has been installed properly.

Identify the transmitter

Verify the Device ID of the transmitter by checking the device parameters. The parameters
contain the following information:
•
Transmitter type (pressure transmitter, temperature transmitter, and flow transmitter)
•
Device Tag (tag description of the transmitter)
•
Sensor serial number
•
Firmware revision level (revision level of the firmware elements)
Check the transmitter parameters listed in Table 2 and note down the values to identify the
transmitter.
ATTENTION
It is recommended to verify the correct version of the Device Description file is
present on the host computer. (Refer to the document on the diskette shipped
with the transmitter.) This helps in getting the correct parameter names and its
corresponding descriptions, while viewing the device parameters.

SENSOR_SN
ATTENTION
Note that the eight digit serial number in the SENSOR_SN parameter does
not display the last two digits of the PROM ID stamped on the nameplate of
the transmitter housing. The Device ID contains the full 10-digit PROM ID.
