Select the H@rt BluePack from the list. In the appropriate dialog box, enter the four-digit “key” of the device, located on the sticker at the front of the device. The device is ready for use as soon as you can read “Paired“ under the H@rt BluePack.
Confi guration and commissioning The confi guration software isHRT Driver Confi gurator is provided in order to adapt the DLL access to your hardware. It is installed in the Start Menu. This dialog based application allows the easy addition and removal of HART interfaces. It also checks the avail- able resources of the system.
Add a USB device Please press the button “Add”, choose the device type you would like to add. Press “OK”, then make your settings. The device has a unique serial number for clear identifi cation. The number is located on the bottom of the case. The confi gura- tion software offers the possibility to search automatically for all attached devices and to detect their serial numbers.
Add a Bluetooth device When you add a Bluetooth device, you can choose between USB and Bluetooth connection. If you select a USB connection, you must enter the serial number or can let the program automatically search for a connected the H@rt-BluePack.
Add an empty slot The empty device does not contain any resources. It serves as a substitute for device numbers not yet assigned. Using empty slots enables a free enumeration of devices by inserting empty devices between existing ones. Removal of a device Mark the device you wish to remove and press the button “Remove”.
The program searches for connected HART slaves. FDT Communication-DTM isHRT CommDTM The isHRT CommDTM is a CommDTM for the interfaces isHRT USB The software isHRT CommDTM can be integrated into any stand- and isHRT USBeX. The DTM offers communication access via the isH- alone frame application (e.g.
Offl ine confi guration isHRT CommDTM 11.1 Driver confi guration This dialog is used to select one of the connected HART communication interfaces of Thorsis. List of connected isHRT devices The table shows the properties of the found isHRT devices (HART communication interfaces).
11.2 Channel Confi guration The dialog is used to confi gure the channel. The following options are available. Primary Master The parameter Primary Master specifi es whether the HART master operates as the primary master or as a secondary master on the bus.
11.3 Connecting DeviceDTMs When a DeviceDTM is connected to the isHRT CommDTM then an ActiveX is opened, that allows to set the tag and the slave address of the DeviceDTM. DTM ID This is the unique ID of the DeviceDTM from the frame application.
Online Confi guration of the isHRT CommDTM 12.1 Device List The list of connected devices displays the essential information about the devices on the HART bus. This information has the following meaning: Address The poll address of the device. State The State fi eld is used to display an icon, that refl...

In Use The “Update List” button starts a new scan for devices on the HART The DTM/device is used in a communication connection. bus. The list will be dynamically updated during the scan whenever a device is found. During the scan, which usually takes some time to Hart Tag complete, the button “Stop Scan”...
12.2 Changing Polling Address This ActiveX can be used to change the poll address of a HART interface. This Menu is only available for Slaves without Device DTM. Slaves without Device DTM. Source address This is the current address of the device on the HART bus. The content of this fi eld is set automatically when the ActiveX is opened.
12.3 Changing Polling Address, DeviceDTM Address and Tag With the help of this ActiveX it is possible to change the address of a HART slave device together with the address of a connected DeviceDTM. This ActiveX is opened by the “Set Address” button in the device list ActiveX for list entries that represent devices with assigned DTMs.
