Configuration and Use Manual

• To copy a configuration file from the transmitter's SD card to the USB drive:
a) Open the wiring compartment on the transmitter and insert a USB drive into the service port.
CAUTION
If the transmitter is in a hazardous area, do not open the wiring compartment while the
transmitter is powered up. Opening the wiring compartment while the transmitter is powered up
could cause an explosion. Save or load configuration files using a method that does not require
opening the wiring compartment.
b) Choose Menu > USB Options > Transmitter --> USB Drive > Transfer Config File to USB Drive.
c) Choose Backup or Replicate.
d) Select the file that you want to transfer.
The configuration file is copied to the USB drive, using its existing name.
3.2.2 Save a configuration file using ProLink III
You can save the current transmitter configuration in two forms: a backup file and a replication file. You can
save it to the SD card on your transmitter or to your PC. Two PC file formats are supported: the Model 5700
format and the ProLink III format.
Backup files Contain all parameters. They are used to restore the current device if required.
The .spare extension is used to identify backup files.
Replication files Contain all parameters except the device-specific parameters, e.g., calibration factors or
meter factors. They are used to replicate the transmitter configuration to other devices.
The .xfer extension is used to identify replication files.
Tip
You can use a saved configuration file to change the nature of the transmitter quickly. This might be
convenient if the transmitter is used for different applications or different process fluids.
Note
When you use ProLink III format for configuration files, you can specify configuration parameters individually
or by groups. Therefore, you can use this format for both backup and replication.
Procedure
• To save the current configuration to the transmitter's SD card:
a) Choose Device Tools > Configuration Transfer > Save Configuration.
b) Select On my 5700 Device Internal Memory and click Next.
c) Click Save.
d) Enter the name for this configuration file.
e) Set the file type.
— To save a backup file, set the file type to Backup.
— To save a replication file, set the file type to Transfer.
