3.1 Overview
ProLink II is a Windows-based configuration and management tool for Micro
Motion transmitters. It provides complete access to transmitter functions and data.
Pocket ProLink is a version of ProLink II that runs on a Pocket PC.
This chapter provides basic information for connecting ProLink II or Pocket
ProLink to your transmitter. The following topics and procedures are discussed:
• Requirements (see Section 3.2)
• Configuration upload/download (see Section 3.3)
• Connecting to a Model 1700 or 2700 transmitter (see Section 3.4)
• Connecting to a Model 1500 or 2500 transmitter (see Section 3.5)
The instructions in this manual assume that users are already familiar with ProLink II or Pocket
ProLink software. For more information on using ProLink II, see the ProLink II manual. For more
information on using Pocket ProLink, see the Pocket ProLink manual. Instructions in this manual will
refer only to ProLink II.
3.2 Requirements
To use ProLink II with a Series 1000 or 2000 transmitter, the following are required:
• ProLink II v2.0 or later for most basic functions
• ProLink II v2.5 or later for access to many advanced functions, such as meter verification
• Signal converter(s), to convert the PC port’s signal to the signal used by the transmitter
- For RS-485 connections, an RS-485 to RS-232 signal converter. The Black Box

Async
IC521A-F RS-232 to RS-485 converter is recommended. For computers without serial
ports, the Black Box IC138A USB to RS-232 converter can be used in conjunction with
the IC521A-F. Both converters are available from Micro Motion.
- For Bell 202 connections, a HART interface. The MACTek

RS232 HART
Interface (for serial port) or USB HART Interface Model 010031 (for USB) are
recommended. Both converters are available from Micro Motion.
• 25-pin to 9-pin adapter (if required by your PC)
Note: If you are using the enhanced core processor and you connect directly to the core processor’s
RS-485 terminals (see Figure B-4 or Figure B-14) instead of to the transmitter, ProLink II v2.4 or
later is required. This connection type is sometimes used for troubleshooting.
