3 Getting Started via the
HART
®
Communicator
The measuring system SENSseries LB 480 is compatible with the
375 Field Communicator (HART
®
Communicator,
HART = Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) by Emerson
Process Management GmbH & Co. OHG. Other HART
®
compatible
communicators may also be used, provided they support Enhance-
ments. The HART
®
Communicator Model 275 by Emerson Process
Management GmbH & Co. OHG cannot be used.
Make sure before commissioning that
– the detector is not damaged,
– the detector is properly installed,
– the connections have been carried out properly,
– the cables are properly inserted,
– unused cable entries are sealed with plugs certified according
to Directive 94/9/EC,
– the cover is tight,
– the dummy plugs and cable glands or conduits are tight.
The measuring system can be taken into operation either via the
HART
®
Communicator or via a PC and the SIMATIC PDM software.
Basically, the procedure for getting started is nearly identical for
both versions. The difference is only the interface through which the
measuring system communicates.
This chapter describes how to take the measuring system into oper-
ation via the HART
®
Communicator. Previous knowledge of the
functionality of the HART
®
Communicator used is assumed.
