Accessing HART Data Chapter 9

Configuring the HART Network

The first step in configuring the HART network is to scan for HART
devices.

1. Right-click Hart Config and select SearchHart, or select

Actions>Search Hart.

The HART Search dialog box opens.

The purpose of this dialog box is to make the search for HART
devices faster by including only channels that you know are
occupied. (For the 1770-HT module, in the non-multiplex mode,
Channels = HART devices connected to the 1770-HT8 module) If
you have four HART devices connected to the 1770-HT8 module
then check Channels 1, 2, 3, and 4.

2. Select those channels you want to search.

3. Use All and None to select or deselect blocks of channels.

If you don’t know which channels are being used, select them
all. Set the maximum address (range 0 to 15) to search on each
channel. If you have one HART device on each channel set Max
Address to 1.
