6.4.3 HART® network configuration
INFORMATION!
For more data, refer to Networks on page 46
The device uses HART® communication to send information to HART®-compatible equipment. It
can operate in either point-to-point or multi-drop mode. The device will communicate in multi-
drop mode if you change the polling address.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the address for this device is different from others in the multi-drop network.
INFORMATION!
Make sure that menu item C5.1.1 Current Loop Mode is set to "On".
How to change from point-to-point to multi-drop mode
• Enter Program mode.
• Push 2 × [ ], [> > > > ], 3 × [ ], 2 × [> > > > ], [ ] and 2 × [> > > > ] to go to menu item C5.1.2.1 Polling Address.
• Enter the password used at this time for the "Expert" access level. If it is the default password,
enter "0058". Push [^ ^ ^ ^ ] to confirm.
• Enter a value between 001 and 063 and push [^ ^ ^ ^ ] to confirm.
• Push [^ ^ ^ ^ ] again and again to go back to the Save Configuration?
• Push [ ] or [ ] to set the screen to "Yes" and push [^ ^ ^ ^ ].
i The output is set to multi-drop mode. The current output is set to 4 mA. This value does not
change in multi-drop mode.
How to change from multi-drop to point-to-point mode
• Enter Program mode.
• Push 2 × [ ], [> > > > ], 3 × [ ], 2 × [> > > > ], [ ] and 2 × [> > > > ] to go to menu item C5.1.2.1 Polling Address.
• Enter the password used at this time for the "Expert" access level. If it is the default password,
enter "0058". Push [^ ^ ^ ^ ] to confirm.
• Enter the value 000 and push [^ ^ ^ ^ ] to confirm.
• Push [^ ^ ^ ^ ] again and again to go back to the Save Configuration?
• Push [ ] or [ ] to set the screen to "Yes" and push [^ ^ ^ ^ ].
i The output is set to point-to-point mode. The current output changes to a range of 4...20 mA
or 3.8...20.5 mA (this range is set in menu item C4.1.4 Current Out. Range).

6.4.4 Distance measurement

The device gives a current output signal that is related to distance measurements when the
menu item C4.1.1 Current Out. 1 Var. (Current Output 1 Variable)
The display screen of the device can show distance measurement readings if one or more of the
"Value Variable" menu items in the C6.4 1st Measurement Page or C6.5 2nd Measurement Page
menu are set to "Distance".
Menu items related to distance measurement are:
• Current output 1 menu (C4.1)
• Tank Height (C1.2)
96
C4.1.1 Current Out. 1 Var. (Current Output 1 Variable) is set to "Distance".
C4.1.1 Current Out. 1 Var. (Current Output 1 Variable) C4.1.1 Current Out. 1 Var. (Current Output 1 Variable)
