General View

The General view appears first when you create a HART device. The parameters in this view vary depending on the type of device.
Use this category to configure:
  • Device revision and software version for the HART device.
  • Electronic keying for the HART device.
    IMPORTANT:
    Changing Electronic Keying when online interrupts connection to the device and any device that is connected through the device. If an I/O connection to a device is interrupted, data loss can occur.
  • The type of connection used with the HART device.
    TIP:
    The Connection parameter affects the configuration options available for Input Data and Output Data, and determines what data is exchanged between the owner-controller and the module.
General View Example

Module Definition View

Module Definition parameters are available from the General view of the Module Properties dialog in the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application project. The categories and parameters vary depending on the type of HART device.
Module Definition View Example - Generic HART Device

Variables View

Use the Variables view to configure dynamic and device variables to be included in the input tag of the HART device. Use this view to complete the following tasks:
  • Select Dynamic Variables.
  • Select Device Variables.
Variables View Example
Variables Parameters
Parameter
Definition
Available Choices
Dynamic Variables
Displays the included Dynamic Variables.
  • <none>
  • PV
  • PV, SV
  • PV, SV, TV
  • PV, SV, TV, QV
Device Variables
Displays the Available and Used Device Variables.
The Available list includes the names of all supported device variables, not including those in the Used list.
The Used list contains the names of the selected device variables. The Used list is limited to eight Device Variables.
Move the Device Variables between the lists using Add and Remove.

EDD file information
Displays information about the EDD file.
  • EDD file does not exist or cannot be opened.
    Appears if the not used EDD file cannot be found. For example, when an existing or new device is invoked on a computer that does not have the EDD file installed, and this EDD file was not used to configure the Device Variables or commands.
  • EDD file that is used for device configuration does not exist or cannot be opened.
    If the used EDD file cannot be found. For example, when an existing device is invoked on a computer that does not have the EDD file installed, and Device Variables and/or commands were configured.
  • No Device Variables defined in EDD file.
    If the EDD file is found, but does not define Device Variables.
  • Registered EDD file does not match EDD file that is used for device configuration.
    If one or more configured Device Variables and/or commands are not specified in the EDD file. For example, when the EDD file is modified and Device Variables are removed.
  • No Expanded Device Type specified.
    If Use Expanded Device Type is not selected from the general profile.

Commands View

The Commands view only appears when there is an associated EDD file and it displays the commands that are supported by the device. You can use the Commands view to define commands to be executed through input and output tags.

Add/Remove
Moves commands between the Available and Used lists.
—
Move
Modifies the order Commands appear in the Used list.

Details for selected commands
  • Request Parameters – Displays the name, HART data type, and initial value for each request parameter.
  • Response Parameters – Displays the name and data type for each response parameter.

EDD file information
Displays information about the EDD file.
  • EDD file does not exist or cannot be opened.
    Appears if the not used EDD file cannot be found. For example, when an existing or new device is invoked on a computer that does not have the EDD file installed, and this EDD file was not used to configure the Device Variables or commands.
  • EDD file that is used for device configuration does not exist or cannot be opened.
    If the used EDD file cannot be found. For example, when an existing device is invoked on a computer that does not have the EDD file installed, and Device Variables and/or commands were configured.
  • No Device Variables defined in EDD file.
    If the EDD file is found, but does not define Device Variables.
  • Registered EDD file does not match EDD file that is used for device configuration.
    If one or more configured Device Variables and/or commands are not specified in the EDD file. For example, when the EDD file is modified and Device Variables are removed.
  • No Expanded Device Type specified.
    If Use Expanded Device Type is not selected from the general profile.
