NOTE
Use a precision resistor for optimum accuracy. If you add a resistor
to the loop, ensure that the power supply is sufficient to power the
flowmeter to a 20 mA output with the additional loop resistance.
Advanced Functions Saving, Recalling, and Cloning Configuration Data
Use the cloning feature of the Model 275 HART Communicator if you
need to configure several ProPlate flowmeters similarly. The cloning
process involves configuring a flowmeter, saving the configuration data,
then sending a copy of the data to a separate flowmeter. There are a
number of possible procedures to use when saving, recalling, and
cloning configuration data. For complete instructions refer to the HART
Communicator manual, p/n 00275-8026-0001. One common method is
as follows:
1. Completely configure the first flowmeter.
2. Save the configuration data:
a. Select
)6DYH
from the communicator Home/On-line screen.
b. Ensure that the location to which the data will be saved is set to
Module. If it is not, select 1 Location to set the save location to
module.
c. Select 2 Name to name the configuration data. The default is the
flowmeter tag number.
d. Ensure that the data type is set to standard. If it is not, select 3
Data Type to set the data type to standard.
e. Select
)6DYH
.
3. Connect and power the receiving flowmeter and communicator.
4. Select the back arrow from the Home/On-line screen.
The HART Communicator menu appears.
5. Select 1 Off-line, 2 Saved Configuration, 1 Module Contents to
reach the Module Contents menu.
6. Use the down arrow to scroll through the list of configurations in
the memory module, and use the right arrow to select the
configuration you wish to retrieve.
7. Select 1 Edit.
8. Select 1 Mark All.
9. Select
)6DYH
10. Use the down arrow to scroll through the list of configurations
in the memory module, and use the right arrow to select the
configuration again.
11. Select 3 Send to download the configuration to the flowmeter.
When finished, the communicator informs you of the status. To
on figure another flowmeter, repeat Steps 3 through 10.
NOTE
The flowmeter receiving the cloned data must have the same or a newer
version of software than the original flowmeter.
