2.1 Confirm HART
®
revision capability
If using HART-based control or asset management systems, confirm
the HART capability of those systems prior to transmitter installation.
Not all systems are capable of communicating with HART Revision 7
Protocol. You can configure the transmitter for either HART Revision
5 or 7.
2.2 Confirm correct device driver
Procedure
1. Verify the latest Device Driver files are loaded on your systems
to ensure proper communications.
2. Download the latest Device Driver at Emerson.com/Device-
Install-Kits/Device-Install-Kit-Search
Table 2-1 provides the information necessary to ensure the

(1) NAMUR software revision is located on the hardware tag of the device. HART
software revision can be read using a HART communication tool.
(2) Device Driver file names use Device and DD Revision (e.g. 10_01. HART Protocol)
is designed to enable legacy device driver revisions to continue to communicate
with new HART devices. To access new functionality, download the new Device
Driver. Emerson recommends downloading new Device Driver files to ensure full
functionality.
(3) HART Revision 5 and 7 Selectable, Dual Sensor support, Safety Certified, Advanced
Diagnostics (if ordered), Enhanced Accuracy and Stability (if ordered).
