Changing the HART
polling options
Use the HART Polling Options to configure your 475 Field Communicator
to automatically search for all or specific connected devices. Most HART
device installations contain one device per loop and the device address is
zero. Refer to your device manual for more information about changing
a device polling address.
To have more than one device per loop, wire the devices in parallel
and
place into “Multidrop” mode. This mode is enabled by changing
the address from zero to any address between 1-63. After the mode is
enabled, the analog output of each device is fixed and no longer
represents any variable.
NOTE
Communication errors, such as a device appearing at multiple
addresses, can occur when polling addresses greater than 15 on a
loop with both HART Universal Revision 5 or earlier and HART
Universal Revision 6 or higher devices.
