Online configuration
Using online configuration, you can configure, calibrate, monitor and diagnose a HART
which is connected to FDM. The FDM 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
communication. After making changes to the device the user can also save a snapshot of the
device data as history to later transfer it to FDM for record and audit purposes.
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. At present, FDC
application software does not support creating offline configuration. However, it supports importing
of offline configuration from FDM (R310 and above).
Online Configuration Overview
Online Configuration option provides the user a set of functions with which they can perform
various operations on a device with an active communication link. These operations primarily
include configuration, calibration, monitoring, and diagnostics of a HART
operations could be realized through various constructs exposed by the DD file of the device. In
addition, FDM also provides some additional application functions for the user 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
