Verifying communication with the Remote Indicator

On the operator interface, establish communication with the device on the Fieldbus network. If the
device is not visible on the network, verify that the device has been installed properly.

Identify the Remote Indicator

Verify the Device ID of the Remote Indicator by checking the device parameters. The parameters
contain the following information:
•
Device Tag (tag description of the Remote Indicator)
•
Device Serial number
•
Firmware revision level (revision level of the firmware elements)
Check the Remote Indicator parameters listed in Table 4 and note down the values to identify the
Remote Indicator.
ATTENTION
It is recommended to verify the correct version of the Device Description file is
present on the host computer. (Refer to the document on the diskette shipped
with the Remote Indicator.) This helps in getting the correct parameter names and
its corresponding descriptions, while viewing the device parameters.
