Design and principle of operation

3.3 Communication

The positioner is equipped with an interface
for HART protocol (Highway Addressable
®
Remote Transducer) for communication
purposes. Data are transmitted in a
superimposed frequency (FSK = Frequency
Shift Keying) on the existing signal loop for
the 4 to 20 mA set point.
Either a HART capable handheld communi-
®
cator or a computer with FSK modem can be
used to establish communication and oper-
ate the positioner.
Note
The HART
device revision as well as the in-
®
dicating and operating modules supported
by the Type 3730-3 Positioner can be found
on the SAMSON website (u www.samson.

Device integration > 3730-3 > 'Device Revi-
sion' to 'Firmware' assignment).
3.4 Configuration using the
TROVIS-VIEW software
The positioner can be configured with
SAMSON's TROVIS-VIEW Software.
The positioner has for this purpose a serial
interface to allow the RS-232 or USB port of
a computer to be connected to it using an
adapter cable.
The TROVIS-VIEW software enables the user
to easily configure the positioner as well as
view process parameters online.

Note
TROVIS-VIEW provides a uniform user
interface that allows users to configure and
parameterize various SAMSON devices
using device-specific database modules. The
device module 3730-3 can be downloaded
free of charge from our website at u www.
