10.5.1 Configure basic HART parameters
ProLink III Device Tools > Configuration > Meter Information
Device Tools > Configuration > Communications > Communications (HART)
Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > HART > Communications
Overview
Basic HART parameters include the HART address, HART tags, and the operation of the
primary mA output.
Restrictions
• Your device supports HART 7. If you are using HART 5, HART Long Tag is not available.
• HART Tag, HART Long Tag, and mA Output Action are not configurable from the display.
Procedure
1. Set HART Address to a unique value on your network.
Valid address values are between 0 and 15. The default address (0) is typically used
unless you are in a multidrop environment.
Tip
Devices using HART protocol to communicate with the transmitter may use either HART
Address or HART Tag (Software Tag) to identify the transmitter. Configure either or both, as
required by your other HART devices.
2. Set HART Long Tag to a unique value on your network.
3. Ensure that mA Output Action is configured appropriately.
Option
Description
Enabled (Live)
The primary mA output reports process data as configured. This is
the appropriate setting for most applications.
Disabled (Fixed)
The primary mA output is fixed at 4 mA and does not report process
data.
Important
If you use ProLink III to set HART Address to 0, the program automatically enables mA Output
Action. If you use ProLink III to set HART Address to any other value, the program
automatically disables mA Output Action. This is designed to make it easier to configure the
transmitter for legacy behavior. Always verify mA Output Action after setting HART Address.
