Chapter 7

Configure the Modules with RSLogix 5000 Software

The module collects the PV, SV, TV, and FV data as described in

Table 30

.

Command 3 does not provide PVStatus, SVStatus, TVStatus, or FVStatus, so
HART devices that indicate Command 3 as shown in

Table 30

will have their

Dynamic Variable Status values reported based on the communication status with
the HART field device. If the Dynamic Variables are being collected without
communication error, the Status value is 16#C0 (2#11000000), which means
good. Otherwise, it is 0, meaning bad.

Some devices don't have four dynamic variables. In this case, they can report a
NaN value to indicate they have no valid value for that parameter.

The dynamic variables do not update as fast as the analog signal. The actual rate
depends on the number of channels configured for HART (for the
8-channel modules), the number of pass-through message commands, the
presence of handheld communicators or other secondary masters, and the
response speed of the field device.

When eight channels are in use on the 8-channel modules, the HART update rate
is in the 10-second range.

IMPORTANT

Verify that the actual HART update rate is appropriate for your
application. Remember that pass-through message traffic, additional
status information, secondary masters, and communication errors can
delay the update rate. Note that on the 8-channel modules, because the
HART modem is shared by all channels, increased delay on one channel
affects other channels also.

IMPORTANT

Verify that HART data is valid by checking ChxFault, HARTFault, and
values such as PVStatus and SVStatus.
