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.)
a.To change the location where the configuration is saved, double-tap Location,
select an option, and tap ENTER.
