What to do if … If no suitable DD is available on the HART
®
Communicator, then
one of the following two things may happen:
Scenario 1:
The DD on the Communicator is older than the version of the
embedded software in the SENSseries.
Example:
DD on the Communicator: Dev v1
Field Device Revision: Fld dev rev: 2
The following warning is displayed on the Communicator:
This means the DD has to be updated to utilize the full function-
ality of the detector.
Then follows the question: Continue with old description?
Yes/No
Select Yes.
You can continue working normally with the detectors. Only
new functions that do not yet support the DD are not available.
Scenario 2:
The DD on the HART
®
Communicator is more up-to-date than the
version of the embedded software in the SENSseries:
Example:
DD on the Communicator: Dev v2
Field Device Revision: Fld dev rev: 1
Then the Generic DD starts. HART
®
does not allow that in this
case an existing DD by the manufacturer will be loaded, as oth-
erwise the program on the Communicator may crash. In the
Generic DD you cannot calibrate and many parameters for the
SENSseries are missing.
Universal Revision All Berthold-DD's require the Universal Commands for HART
®
6 or
higher.
This requires that the HART
®
Communicator by Emerson Process,
Model 375/475 is used.
Other HART
®
compatible communicators with HART
®
6 may also be
used, provided they support Enhancements.
If the Communicator has a lower version than HART
®
6, then the
Generic DD will be started.
To determine the version of the Universal Commands, call on the
HART
®
Communicator the menu Device Config Setup
Identifications Device Revision Universal Rev..
