PROGRAMMING
Before you begin Before embarking on programming (configuring) the 3490 Series Control Unit,
it is recommended that you have a working knowledge of important features
and programming philosophies.
All setting up is achieved from the front panel of the 3490 Series Control Unit;
this includes optional adjustments to the set-up of a HART transmitter.
Parameters
The 3490 Series Control Unit has menu-based parameters for programming -
setting up for an application, adjusting default settings, etc. - and for viewing
information.
Parameters are populated throughout the menu system. They are grouped in
sub-menus, which are organised by association with a specific function or
application. Each parameter has a unique 3-digit identification number,
prefixed by a 'P' - if programmable - or a 'D' - if for display purposes only. Full
menu maps are provided in Appendix C.
With some experience, it becomes easy to locate parameters. Alternatively,
parameters can be accessed directly by knowing their unique 3-digit
identification number. (See Appendix D for details.)
To make programming of functions and applications easier, various Wizards
are provided - See “Wizards“ on page 4-10.
Menu Navigation
In this chapter, a simple notation has been used to guide you to a particular
menu screen or parameter screen. This avoids the need for detailed
navigation instructions.
Consider the navigation instructions to be followed before arriving at the
DIRECT menu. For the purpose of this example, the starting point is the
primary display.
In the notation form this is simply:
1. Navigate to MAIN MENU / DIRECT
Without the notation, this translates into these instructions:
1. Press the red (ENTER) button to display the "MAIN MENU" screen.
2. Press the DOWN-ARROW button repeatedly until "DIRECT" is blinking.
3. Press the red (ENTER) button once.
If square brackets are used in a part of the menu notation, e.g. MAIN MENU /
SETUP / [CONTROL UNIT], it signifies that the bracketed menu does not
appear in all circumstances.
Typically, if there are no HART transmitters, the "SELECT INSTRUMENT"
screen will never appear as there is no need to differentiate between
3490 Series Control Unit and HART transmitter; the menu that appears then
is for the 3490 Series Control Unit.
