5.2.3 Online configuration

Using online configuration, you can configure, calibrate, monitor and diagnose a HART device which
is connected to MC Toolkit. FDC provides the features to perform these functions through the various
constructs offered through the DD file of the device. Besides there are certain other features available
under this link for you to conveniently work with a HART device with live communication. After
making changes to the device you can also save a snapshot of the device data as history to later
transfer it to FDM for record and audit purposes.

5.2.4 Offline configuration

Offline configuration refers to configuring a device offline (without physically connecting to the
device) using a template and then downloading the configuration to the device. Presently, FDC
application software does not support creating offline configuration. However, it supports importing of
offline configuration from FDM (R310 and above).

5.2.5 Online Configuration Overview

Online configuration option provides you a set of functions with which you can perform various
operations on a device with an active communication link. These operations primarily include
configuration, calibration, monitoring, and diagnostics of a HART device. Typically, these operations
could be realized through various constructs exposed by the DD file of the device. In addition, FDC
also provides some additional application functions for you to perform these functions more
conveniently.
Online configuration includes a set of functions to perform various operations on a transmitter with
active communication link. These operations primarily include:

Identifying a transmitter

Reading and reviewing transmitter variable values

Editing transmitter variable values

Downloading the selected/edited variable set to the transmitter
5.2.5.1 Detecting and loading a device
