Operating The Transmitter; User Interface Options; Transmitter Advanced Displays With Buttons; Dtm Or Dd - Hart And Ff - Honeywell SmartLine SLG 700 User Manual

4.1 User interface options

Described below are the available user interfaces. Of these interfaces only the transmitter's
displays and buttons are described in this manual. The other interfaces have separate manuals:
see the SLG 700 HART Option Manual, #34-SL-25-06 or SLG 700 FOUNDATION Fieldbus
Manual, #34-SL-25-07.
While the transmitter will come preconfigured for a specific application (if ordered as such) it
can also be reconfigured. Whichever interface is selected, the parameters available from each
are similar and arranged in similar ways. Some parameters will only pertain to the interface
being used, such as screen display parameters; some will only pertain to the communications
protocol being used, such as PV selection with HART.

Transmitter advanced displays with buttons

For simple operations, the advanced display and buttons interface is preferable. For more
involved operations (or in instances where the display is difficult to reach) or configuration use
one of the following interfaces.
DTM or DD – HART and FF
There are two ways an external user interface can be connected to a Honeywell transmitter:

Device Description (DD) files

Device Terminal Manager (DTM) files (collection of *.dlls)
Each of these mechanisms requires an external container for hosting purposes as neither can
function individually.
The DD files host container is frequently an application running on a hand-held device, such as
the Honeywell Field Device Configurator (FDC) running on the Honeywell MC Toolkit 404 or
the Emerson 475. The host container can also be a PC-based application, such as the
ProComSol DevCom2000 application. Or the Honeywell FDM server which also has an
Enhanced Device Description Language (EDDL) interpreter.
The DTM files host container can be any Field Device Technology (FDT) 1.2.1-compliant
frame application such as PACTware, FieldCare, the Honeywell FDM Server as an FDT-
compliant host and so forth.
The type of external user interface, either DD or DTM is independent of the electrical interface
to the transmitter, HART or FF. Honeywell supplies user interfaces for both HART and FF.
Refer to applicable HART or Fieldbus manual for more information.
Honeywell provides DD and DTM files for the SLG 700 transmitters. The files may be
