Transfer HART Configurations using
AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager
A Handheld Communicator Interface kit of the AMS
Device Manager (version 6.2 or higher) option lets you
use the 375 Field Communicator with AMS Device
Manager.
To transfer HART configurations:
1. Align the 375 Field Communicator IrDA interface with
the PC IrDA interface, and enter Listen For PC mode.
A 375 Field Communicator icon will appear in AMS
Device Manager to indicate that all configurations
from the 375 Field Communicator can be accessed.
2. In AMS Device Manager, double-click the 375 Field
Communicator icon. The Expansion Module and
Internal Flash folders are displayed. Once all of the
configuration files are displayed, perform your tasks
with AMS Device Manager.
Easy Upgrade Programming Utility
To add device descriptions (DDs), system software
upgrades, or licenses, you need a System Card with the
Easy Upgrade option. All 375 Field Communicators
come with the basic ability to transfer event captures and
user data (text) files using the Easy Upgrade
Programming Utility. You can also assign a unit name to
a 375 Field Communicator to uniquely identify it. For
more details on use, see the Easy Upgrade
Programming Utility online Help.
From the 375 Main Menu, double-tap ScratchPad to run
the ScratchPad application. ScratchPad is a text editor
that you can use to create, open, edit, and save simple
text (.txt) documents. You can transfer text files between
a PC and the 375 Field Communicator using the Easy
Upgrade Programming Utility. ScratchPad supports very
basic formatting. You can also launch the ScratchPad
application from within the HART or Fieldbus application
by tapping the ScratchPad (
corner of the display. This will automatically open the
ScratchPad application.
