ProLink II configuration upload/download
ProLink II provides a configuration upload/download function which allows you to save configuration
sets to your PC. This allows:
•
Easy backup and restore of transmitter configuration
•
Easy replication of configuration sets
Micro Motion recommends that all transmitter configurations be downloaded to a PC as soon as the
configuration is complete.
To access the configuration upload/download function:
1. Connect ProLink II to your transmitter as described in this chapter.
2. Open the

Connecting from a PC to a Model 1700 or Model 2700 transmitter
Depending on your transmitter, there are several options for connecting ProLink II to your transmitter.
See Table 3-1.
Notes: Service port connections use standard settings, do not require transmitter configuration, and
are always available. Therefore, they are easy and convenient. However, service port connections
require opening the power supply compartment. Accordingly, service port connections should be used
only for temporary connections, and may require extra safety precautions.
Due to the design of HART protocol, connections made using HART protocol are slower than
connections that use Modbus protocol. If you use HART protocol, you cannot open more than one
ProLink II window at a time.
