A6.6 Steps after Activating a Field Device
After the communication with a field device is recovered after activating the device, check that
the software revision of the field device is updated accordingly by using the download tool.
The software revision of the field device can be checked with the SOFT_REV parameter of the
resource block.
The PD tag, node address, and transducer block calibration parameters that are retained in the
nonvolatile memory inside the target device will remain unchanged after software download is
executed. However, after a software update which causes an addition to the block parameters or
blocks, or to the system/network management VFD parameters, some parameters may be reset
to the defaults, thus requiring parameter setup and re-engineering. For details, see the table
below.
Note that a change in the number of parameters or blocks requires the DD and capabilities files
corresponding to the new software revision.
