HART Device Information view parameters

The
HART Device Information
view includes these parameters.
Parameter
Description
Tag
Displays the HART Field Device location and purpose in the plant.
Message
Displays additional information about the HART Field Device, such as who last calibrated the device, or reference to documentation.
Descriptor
Displays additional identification information that is used by the plant or asset management software.
Date
Displays the date, which is shown in the format selected for your computer from the
Control Panel
using the
Regional
and
Language
settings.
Write Protect
Indicates whether the HART Field Device is write protected. Valid values are
Yes
or
No
. If a device is write protected, some parameters cannot be changed using HART communication.
Manufacturer ID
Displays the manufacturer name (for example, Allen-Bradley or Endress + Hauser) or the numeric value for the manufacturer.
Device Type
Displays the device type for Endress + Hauser devices, or a numeric value for all other manufacturer devices. This indicates the manufacturer’s type of the device, or product name. For example, Cerabar S pressure transmitters from Endress + Hauser have Device Type 7.
Device ID
Displays a number that represents the device ID. Device ID is a serial number assigned by the manufacturer that is unique among all devices produced by that manufacturer.
Final Assembly Number
Displays number that identifies the materials and electronics that comprise the field device. The number is normally changed when electronics or other components are upgraded in the field. In some instances, this number references a drawing number.
Status
Displays the Field Device status of the selected channel.
Status
attributes are:
  • Device Malfunction
  • Primary Value (PV) Out of Limits
  • Loop Current Saturated
  • Loop Current Fixed
  • Variable Out of Limits
Diagnostic Code
Displays the diagnostic code information for each channel (up to three error values).
If the device is functioning properly,
OK
is displayed. If the device is not working properly, numeric error values are displayed.
To see the additional status information in the format sent by the HART field device, send CIP Service 16#4C using a MSG instruction as described in the device's User Manual.
PV
Displays the settings for these Primary Variable (PV) attributes.
  • Upper Range Value
  • Lower Range Value
  • Damping
  • Transfer Function
In HART, the PV is signaled on the 4 to 20 mA analog channel. It can also be read back using HART messages. In many HART devices, the relationship between the PV and the analog signal can be adjusted.
Revisions
Displays the settings for these revision attributes.
  • Universal
  • Device
  • Software
  • Hardware
SV Units
Displays the units of the Secondary Variable (SV).
TV Units
Displays the units of the Tertiary Variable (TV).
FV Units
Displays the units of the Fourth (Quaternary) Variable (QV).
Refresh
Updates the information displayed in the
HART Device Information
view.
Set Device Information
Select to configure the tag, message, and descriptor for the HART Field Device.
Tip
: A message displays on the screen if the device's tag, message, or descriptor does not match the values stored in the project.
