Checking
Communication Mode
and Firmware Version Before doing anything else, it is a good idea to confirm the transmitter’s
mode of operation and identify the version of firmware being used in the
transmitter.
•
Communication mode (either ANALOG or DE mode) is displayed on
the Status Bar at the bottom SCT application window.
•
The transmitter’s firmware version is displayed on the Device
configuration form.
DE Communication
Mode A transmitter in the digital (DE) mode can communicate in a direct digital
fashion with a Universal Station in Honeywell’s TPS and TDC 3000
control systems. The digital signal can include all four transmitter process
variables and its secondary variable as well as the configuration database.
Changing
Communication Mode You can select the mode you want the transmitter to communicate with
the control system. The communication mode is selected in the SCT
General Configuration form tab card.
