3.4.1 Updating the HART communication software
The Field Communicator software may need to be updated to take advantage of the
additional features available in the latest Rosemount 3144P Transmitter. Perform the
following steps to determine if an upgrade is necessary.
Procedure
1. Select Rosemount from the list of manufacturers 5 and 6 and 3144 Temp from the

list of models
(with any DD version), then the user will be able to connect to the device with
reduced functionality. To unlock full functionality, download and install the new
DD.
Note
The original release of the safety-certified Rosemount 3144P uses the name "3144P
SIS" from the model list and requires "Dev v2, DD v1."
Note
If communication is initiated with an improved Rosemount 3144P using a
communicator that only has a previous version of the transmitter device descriptors
(DDs), the communicator will display the following message:
NOTICE: Upgrade to the field communicator software to access new XMTR functions.
Continue with old description?
YES: The communicator will communicate properly with the transmitter using the
existing transmitter
DDs. However, new software features of the DD in the communicator will not be
accessible.
NO: The communicator will default to a generic transmitter functionality.
If YES is selected after the transmitter is configured to utilize the new features of the
improved transmitters (such as Dual Input configuration or one of the added sensor
input types–DIN Type L or DIN Type U), the user will experience trouble
communicating with the transmitter and will be prompted to turn the
communicator off. To prevent this from happening, either upgrade the
communicator to the latest DD or answer NO to the above question and default to
the generic transmitter functionality.
