6.4 Configuration via interface & FieldCare Device Setup
PC configuration software
Warning!
The device must be configured outside the hazardous area.
Caution!
The device can assume undefined states while configuring with FieldCare! This can result in the
undefined switching of outputs and relays.
To configure the device with the FieldCare Device Setup software, connect the device to your PC.
You need a special interface adapter for this purpose - the Commubox FXA291 (see Chapter
'Accessories').
The 4-pin connector of the interface cable must be plugged into the corresponding socket inside the
device and the USB connector must be plugged into a free USB slot on the PC.
Connection establishment
When connecting the device, the device DTM is not automatically loaded in FieldCare, i.e. the
device has to be added manually.
• Firstly, add the Communication DTM "PCP (Readwin) TXU10 / FXA291" to an empty project.
• In the Comm DTM settings, set the baud rate to 2400 baud and select the COM-port used.
• Add the RIA14/16 Version Vx.xx.xx device DTM to the project using the "Add device..."
function.
!
Note!
Online configuration is not possible with the RIA14/RIA16.
• To then configure the device itself, follow these Operating Instructions for the device. The entire
Setup menu, i.e. all the parameters listed in these Operating Instructions, can also be found in the
FieldCare Device Setup.

Note!
In general, it is possible to overwrite parameters with the FieldCare PC software and the appropriate
device DTM even if access protection is active.
If access protection by means of a code should be extended to the software, this function should be
activated in the extended device setup.
