HART Functionality
3-3
WORKING
OFFLINE
The Offline menu lets you create, view, and change
offline configurations stored in the 375 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 375 Field Communicator from another
program. Editing a device configuration within the 375
Field Communicator changes it to a user configuration.
The concept of partial or standard configurations does
not apply to the 375 Field Communicator. All
configurations are full configurations.
Creating New
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 the configurable variables you want sent to the
HART device. Double-tap Mark all | OK to have all
variables marked. Double-tap Unmark all | OK to
clear the marks from all variables. A “+” symbol
indicates a mark to send. A “*” symbol indicates a
parameter has been edited.
