Adding a HART Instrument to MC5-IS’ Instrument Database
MC5-IS has a semi-automatic util-
ity to add HART instruments to
MC5-IS’ instrument database.
Select 7/Add HART instrument
to Database from the Basic
Mode’s HART Menu. Continue by
selecting which output is to be
added, analog or digital.
The following instrument data is
acquired from the HART instru-
ment:
Input Quantity Input Unit
Input Range Input Method
Output Quantity Output Unit
Output Range Output Method
Transfer Function Device ID
Setpoint Delay
When the instrument is created,
MC5-IS automatically opens the
Instrument Window, from where it
is easy to either check/edit instru-
ment data or start calibrating the
instrument.
It is recommended to edit the instru-
ment data and carefully check the
default values assigned for instru-
ment data fields that do not have
corresponding fields in HART in-
strument data. To edit the instru-
ment data, press the 2/Edit button.
At least the following instrument data fields should be checked:
Error Calculation Method Reject if > Input Port
Calibration Method Calibration Points Output Port
Keep in mind that changing the value of some of the above men-
tioned fields may also require changes in related fields.
Notes.
The HART instrument’s TAG is assigned to the Device ID field in MC5-IS.
No Position ID is automatically assigned to the instrument.
QM6 Quality Manager version 1.90a and later support adding instruments
created in MC5-IS to QM6’s database. QD3 Quality Documenter cannot
receive instrument data from MC5-IS. It can receive only calibration results
of instruments already existing in QD3’s database.
