8.4.1 Features and Functions
The FC375/FC475 HART Communicator is a handheld communication device that is easy to
use, and provides universal support for other HART devices, such as the SITRANS LUT400.
For a list of parameters available with the Field Communicator, see
HART FC375/FC475
Menu Structure
in the LUT400 Communications manual

. This menu structure is very similar
to that of AMS Device Manager.

8.4.2 Startup and Configuration
In order to configure this HART device, just as with AMS, the configuration software requires
the HART Electronic Device Description (EDD) for the instrument. Once the EDD is installed,
you can configure the device using the Quick Start Wizards within FC375/475.
For instructions on how to install the EDD, and how to configure a new device using
FC375/475, refer to the LUT400 Communications manual

8.5 Operation via FDT (Field Device Tool)
8.5.1 Features and Functions
FDT is a standard used in several software packages designed to commission and maintain
field devices such as SITRANS LUT400. Two commercially available FDTs are PACTware
and Fieldcare.
FDT is very similar to PDM [see
Operation via SIMATIC PDM 6 (HART) in the LUT400
Communications manual
1
for more detail].
● To configure a field device via FDT, you need the DTM (Device Type Manager) for the
device.
● To configure a field device via SIMATIC PDM, you need the EDD (Electronic Data
Description) for the device.
