Creating a new
configuration
The Offline menu lets you create offline configurations and view and
change configurations stored in the 475 Field Communicator.
There are two types of HART configurations: device configurations and
user configurations. A device configuration is created from a
connected, online HART device. A user configuration is created offline
or transferred to a 475 Field Communicator from another program.
Editing a device configuration within the 475 Field Communicator
changes it to a user configuration.
The concept of partial or standard configurations does not apply to the
475 Field Communicator. All configurations are full configurations.
Creating a new configuration lets you create a user configuration for a
specific device type and revision.
To create a new HART configuration while working offline:
1.From the HART Application main menu, double-tap Offline.
2.Double-tap New Configuration. The manufacturer names of the
installed device descriptions are listed.
3.Double-tap the desired manufacturer to expand the list. The models
available for the manufacturer are listed.
4.Double-tap the desired device model to expand the list. The device
revisions available for the selected device model are listed.
5.Double-tap the desired device revision.
6.If a warning appears, thoroughly read the warning, tap CONT to
accept the warning and proceed, or tap EXIT.
7.Mark (select) the configurable variables you want sent to the device;
unmarked variables are not included when the configuration is
transferred to a device. Double-tap Mark all | OK to have all
variables marked. Double-tap Unmark all | OK to clear the marks
from all variables. If a variable cannot be marked, an error message
appears.
To mark and edit variables individually:
a.Double-tap Edit individually.
b.Scroll through the list of variables and select the variable you want
to mark or edit.
c.To change the value for the selected variable, tap EDIT, change the
value, and tap ENTER. A "*" symbol appears next to the variable
name and the value is highlighted yellow to indicate the change
has not been saved.
To mark the selected variable, tap MARK. A "+" symbol appears
next to the value.
d.Repeat these steps for other variables as necessary and tap EXIT
when you are finished.
8.To save the configuration, double-tap Save as. (The SAVE button
brings you to the Save as menu.)
