Design and principle of operation
3.3 Communication
The positioner is equipped with an interface
for HART
®
protocol (Highway Addressable
Remote Transducer) for communication
purposes. Data are transmitted in a
superimposedfrequency(FSK=Frequency
Shift Keying) on the existing signal loop for
the4to20mAsetpoint.
Either a HART
®
capable handheld communi-
cator or a computer with FSK modem can be
used to establish communication and oper-
ate the positioner.
The HART
®
device revision as well as the in-
dicating and operating modules supported
by the Type3730-3 Positioner can be found
on the SAMSON website (uwww.samson.

sion' to 'Firmware' assignment).
3.4 Conguration using the
TROVIS-VIEW software
Thepositionercanbeconguredwith
SAMSON'sTROVIS-VIEWSoftware.
The positioner has for this purpose a serial
interface to allow the RS-232 or USB port of
a computer to be connected to it using an
adapter cable.
TheTROVIS-VIEWsoftwareenablestheuser
toeasilycongurethepositioneraswellas
view process parameters online.
TROVIS-VIEW provides a uniform user
interface that allows users to congure and
parameterize various SAMSON devices
using device-specic database modules. The
device module 3730-3 can be downloaded
free of charge from our website at uwww.

Further information on TROVIS-VIEW (e.g.
system requirements) is available on our
website and in the Data Sheet uT6661.
