475 FIELD
COMMUNICATOR
OVERVIEW
The 475 Field Communicator supports HART and FOUNDATION fieldbus
devices, letting you configure, maintain, or troubleshoot devices. When
using the 475 Field Communicator to communicate with devices,
follow all standards and procedures applicable to the location. Failure
to comply may result in equipment damage and/or personal injury. Be
sure to understand and comply with the sections in this manual.
The 475 Field Communicator includes a color LCD touch screen, a
Li-Ion batte
ry (Power Module), a SH3 processor, memory components,
System Card, and integral communication and measurement circuitry.
The Field Communicator also supports multiple languages. See the
rea
dme file included with the Field Communicator Easy Upgrade Utility
or www.fieldcommunicator.com for more information.
Device interoperability The 475 Field Communicator is designed to operate with a wide range
of HART and F
OUNDATION fieldbus devices independent of device
manufacturer. Device interoperability is achieved through the
Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) technology supported
by the HART Communication Foundation and Fieldbus Foundation.
Basic testing is performed on all de
vice descriptions. Each device
manufacturer is asked to certify that they thoroughly tested their
devices with the 475 Field Communicator. If certification is not
received, a warning message displays when you attempt to
communicate with an untested device. New device descriptions are
available from the Field Communicator Easy Upgrade Utility or the
Resource CD or DVD.
