B.2 Connect with ProLinkIII
A connection from ProLinkIII to your transmitter allows you to read process data, configure the transmitter,
and perform maintenance and troubleshooting tasks.
B.2.1 ProLinkIII connection types
There are two ways to connect a Prolink III PC to the transmitter depending on how it has been ordered: the
service port or the communications protocol which is licensed for Channel A. This will be HART
®
over Bell 202
for Output hardware board code A or Modbus over RS-485 for output hardware board code M.
B.2.2 Connect ProLink III to the transmitter
WARNING
If the transmitter is in a hazardous area, do not remove the housing cover while the transmitter is powered
up. Failure to follow these instructions can cause an explosion, resulting in serious injury or death.
Prerequisites
For a service port connection, a USB-C to USB-A cable is supplied with the transmitter. For a Modbus
®
connection, use an RS-485 converter connected to Channel A. No other Modbus host can be used for
communicating. For a HART
®
connection, use a Bell 202 converter connected to Channel A with a load resistor
(250-600 ohms).
You will need to know which comm port your converter is using. If you don't know the correct comm port, click
on the Connect via guided connection wizard button.
