Adding a HART Instrument to MC5P’s Instrument Database
MC5P has a semi-automatic utility
to add HART instruments to
MC5P’s instrument database. Se-
lect 7/Add HART instrument to
Database from the Basic Mode’s
HART Menu. Continue by select-
ing 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,
MC5P automatically opens the In-
strument Window, from where it is
easy to either check/edit instrument
data or start calibrating the instru-
ment. It is recommended to edit the
instrument data and carefully check
the default values assigned for in-
strument data fields that do not
have corresponding fields in HART
instrument 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 MC5P. No
Position ID is automatically assigned to the instrument.
CMX Calibration Maintenance management software as well as QM6
Quality Manager version 1.90a and later support adding instruments cre-
ated in MC5P to QM6’s database. QD3 Quality Documenter cannot re-
ceive instrument data from MC5P. It can receive only calibration results of
instruments already existing in QD3’s database.
