The Ignore Status Ignored Status option lets you specify the number of field device status Messages messages that are ignored, extending the time between displayed messages. Page Storage Cleanup Field Communicator. The device description can be used, but you may experience unexpected results. This warning will not appear if your device is tested. The Online menu for the simulated device is displayed. You can now use the Field Communicator as if it were connected to the selected device and perform any online task.

Voltage measurements are for reference purposes only. Verify the changes in the database. Otherwise, this could cause unpredictable results and, depending upon your application, process disruption leading to property damage, serious injury, or death. Be sure the power supply or barrier on the fieldbus segment has the capacity to provide this additional current.

This means the Field Communicator can view and edit device parameters, but the control of the segment is still handled by the node that is designated the LAS for the segment.

This typically occurs when connecting to a single device. To go back to the Main Menu, press the back arrow button. Page Working Online This is influenced by the number of devices and the control methods in place. Connecting to Connect the Field Communicator with the appropriate connectors in parallel with the device. Due to a Fieldbus measurement circuitry, the Field Communicator Segment fieldbus connections are polarity sensitive. Page 68 Fieldbus Functionality Three terminals for the lead set are on the top of the Field Communicator.

The black terminal is a common terminal shared by both protocols. For segments that are limited in size, the power conditioner and terminators can be contained in a single wiring block. Bench wiring diagram example The Field Communicator can be connected at any convenient place along the bus segment. In the field, this is typically done at the device or at the fieldbus junction box.

If an existing host control system or a device capable of being the LAS is not connected, the Field Communicator acts as a temporary LAS on the segment and produces a warning message. Consult your device Block List manual or the Fieldbus Foundation for more information on blocks. Page Modes OOS. When the changes are complete, change the mode back to AUTO. Page 74 Fieldbus Functionality Mode Parameters Mode parameters are used to change the block mode from one state to another.

There are four types of mode parameters: Target, Actual, Permitted, and Normal. The Target mode is the mode that was assigned to a block and is used to change a block to a desired mode. Page 75 Fieldbus Functionality Change Modes Whenever you need to change the parameters or properties of a block, you need to change the mode.

A warning message may appear whenever the mode of any block is included in a list of parameter changes to be sent to a device. Block menus display block information for the fieldbus device Device Blocks to which you are connected. The Block Menu is also available under the Advanced option in a device menu. Display Parameters To display the parameters for fieldbus devices: 1. Display the Live Device List; see page To change the device tag or address, use the host system or remove the device from the segment and connect it directly to the Field Communicator.

These parameters are available in the Polling menu. To change the schedule: 1. To instantiate or delete blocks, use the host system or remove the device from the segment and connect it directly to the Field Communicator. Delete Instantiated Blocks The Delete Block menu lets you delete instantiated blocks from a fieldbus device; Narrowing the range of devices being polled provides a quicker Live Device List refresh.

Fieldbus device descriptions enable the Device Field Communicator to recognize and configure Descriptions fieldbus devices. To view the fieldbus device descriptions installed on the Field Communicator: 1.

Signal Level The signal level test determines if a Field Measurement Communicator can receive signals from devices on a segment. To measure the fieldbus signal level, make sure an LAS is on the segment.

This may be caused by noise on the segment. Error - The measurement value is less than 75 mV or there is an error within the Field Communicator. Page Troubleshooting Suggestions Field Communicator. Below are methods for troubleshooting networks that are experiencing problems communicating between a field device and the Field Communicator. Troubleshooting Answer the questions below and use the troubleshooting tables in this section before calling Technical Support Suggestions personnel.

If there are multiple field devices on a multidrop loop, set the Field Communicator to Poll by Address. By putting the on first, it remains blank even the devices are attempting will remain the LAS and control the Field Communicator to run the segment.

Page After being instantiated, these blocks operate like any other block in the device. The Field Communicator supports the commands to instantiate and to delete function and transducer blocks in a fieldbus device. Page LAS. See Figure on page for the location of this connector. Page Segments are linked by repeaters to form a complete Fieldbus.

The Field Communicator determines when to enter this mode. Use this feature to save battery life or to reduce the boot-up time.

The green, slowly flashing multifunction LED indicates the Field Communicator is in stand-by mode. The weight of the Field Communicator is evenly distributed for comfortable one-handed operation in the field. It Is Loaded! The Emerson Field Communicator has plenty of memory to allow for future expansion. The Configuration Expansion Module holds hundreds of device configurations, and it is externally accessible. Enhancements in the battery pack allow a full recharge in 2 hours.

The Li-Ion Power Module replaces it. To upgrade without this feature, the System Card would have to be sent to a Service Center. For increased storage capacity specify the Configuration Expansion Module code C which is capable of storing in excess of configurations.
