Section 3: HART commissioning
April 2014
HART® commissioning
Note
If communication is initiated with an improved 3144P using a communicator that only has a
previous version of the transmitter device descriptors (DDs), the communicator will display the
following message:
NOTICE: Upgrade to the field communicator software to access new XMTR functions.
Continue with old description?
YES: The communicator will communicate properly with the transmitter using the existing
transmitter DDs. However, new software features of the DD in the communicator will not be
accessible.
NO: The communicator will default to a generic transmitter functionality.
If YES is selected after the transmitter is configured to utilize the new features of the improved
transmitters (such as Dual Input configuration or one of the added sensor input types–DIN Type
L or DIN Type U), the user will experience trouble communicating with the transmitter and will
be prompted to turn the communicator off. To prevent this from happening, either upgrade the
communicator to the latest DD or answer NO to the above question and default to the generic
transmitter functionality.
