4.11 Establish HART communication
The Rosemount 5400 Series can be configured using the RRM PC software or a Field
Communicator. Configuration is done by sending HART commands through the HMC to the
Rosemount 5400 transmitter electronics. To establish HART communication, connect to the
MA/MB terminals, or to the HART terminals. Both alternatives are described below.
4.11.1 Connect to the MA/MB terminals
The Rosemount 5400 level transmitter can be configured with RRM using the MA, MB terminals.
An RS-485 Converter is required to connect to the transmitter.
The transmitter will try to establish communication using different protocols during 20 second
timeslots from time of startup.
Figure 4-21. RS-485 Communication after Startup
The transmitter will continue to use a communication protocol once communication has been
established.
To configure the Rosemount 5400 level transmitter using RRM and the MA, MB terminals, do
the following:
1. Connect the RS-485 Converter to the MA, MB connectors.
2. Start RRM and open Communication Preferences.
