Supplementary Installation and Operating Instructions IFC 300 HART
HC275, FC375, AMS, PDM, FDT DTM
3 HART Communicator 275 (HC275), Field Communicator 375 (FC375)
3.1 Installation
The IFC 300 HART Device Description has to be installed on the HC275 and FC375 respectively. Otherwise the user
will work with the instrument as a generic one thus loosing opportunity for entire instrument control.
For installing DDs on the HC275 a ‘HART Communicator Module Programmer’ is needed (see details in the ‘Module
Programmer User’s Guide’).
For installing DDs on the FC375 the ‘Easy Upgrade Programming Utility’ is needed and the FC375 must have a
System Card with ‘Easy Upgrade’ option (see details in the ‘375 Field Communicator User’s Manual’).
3.2 Operating
Refer to the IFC 300 Menu Tree HC275 / FC375 (Attachment A).
The IFC 300 operation via HC275 / FC375 is made quite close to the manual instrument control via keypad with the
restriction that parameters of the device's "service" menu are not supported and simulation is possible only for
current outputs. The online help of each parameter contains its function number as a reference to the device’s local
display and the “Handbook”.
Parameter protection for custody transfer is the same as on the device's local display. Other specific protection
mechanisms like "password quick setup" and "password setup" are not supported via HART.
The set of parameters of the HC275 “standard configuration” is only a partial set. However the HC275 “full
configuration” contains a complete set of supported parameters. Both types of configurations can be transferred to
AMS.
The FC375 always creates a “full” configuration for interaction with AMS. Still the FC375 considers only a partial
parameter set (like the HC275 “standard configuration”) when sending it to a device.
4 Asset Management Solutions (AMS)
4.1 Installation
If the IFC 300 Device Description is not already installed on the AMS System a so called Installation Kit IFC 300
HART AMS is needed (available as download from KROHNE ‘Download Centre’ on the internet or on floppy disk /
CD-ROM from KROHNE).
For installing the DD with the Installation Kit refer to the “AMS Intelligent Device Manager Books Online" section
"Basic AMS Functionality /Device Configurations / Installing Device Types / Procedures /Install device types from
media”. Please read also the “readme.txt”, which is also contained in the Installation Kit.
4.2 Operating
Refer to the IFC 300 Menu Tree AMS (Attachment B).
Due to AMS requirements and conventions the IFC 300 operation differs to some extent from operation with HC275 /
FC375 and via local keypad. Furthermore parameters of the device's "service" menu are not supported and
simulation is possible only for current outputs. The online help of each parameter contains its function number as a
reference to the device’s local display and the “Handbook”.
Parameter protection for custody transfer is the same as on the device's local display. Other specific protection
mechanisms like "password quick setup" and "password setup" are not supported via HART.
