The Field Communicator is a hand terminal from Emerson Process Management that is
designed to configure HART
different devices into the Field Communicator.
9.6.1 Installation
The HART
Communicator. Otherwise only the functions of a generic DD are available to the user and the
entire device control is not possible. A "Field Communicator Easy Upgrade Programming Utility"
is required to install the DDs on the Field Communicator.
The Field Communicator must be equipped with a system card with "Easy Upgrade Option".
For details consult the Field Communicator User's Manual.
9.6.2 Operation
The Field Communicator supports the DD Root Menu for online access to the device. The Root
Menu is implemented as a combination of the other standard menus Process Variables Root
Menu, Diagnostic Root Menu and Device Root Menu.
INFORMATION!

.
Operating the signal converter via the Field Communicator is very similar to manual device
control using the keyboard. The help attribute of each parameter contains its function number as
a reference to the local device display and the handbook.
Parameter protection for custody transfer is the same as on the device's local display. Other
specific protective functions such as the passwords for the quick setup menu and the setup
menu are not supported with HART
The Field Communicator always saves a complete configuration for the exchange with AMS.
However, in the offline configuration and when sending to the device, the Field Communicator
only takes into account a partial parameter set (like the standard configuration of the old HART
Communicator 275).
