2 Configuration Tools and Interfaces
Overview
This section describes the tools and interfaces involved in configuring a new SLN700 SmartLine
NCR Level Transmitter for HART
applies to adjusting the configuration of a transmitter that has been in operation and updating one
that is currently in operation.
Prerequisites
This manual contains the information and procedure for performing configuration and calibration
tasks of SLN700 Transmitter. The person performing the tasks should be knowledgeable in the
use of Honeywell's Field Device Manager (FDM) asset management system.
Furthermore, the reader is familiar with the SLN700 family of SmartLine NCR Level Transmitters
and experienced in the type of process application targeted for transmitter deployment. Therefore,
detailed procedures are supplied only in so far as necessary to ensure satisfactory completion of
configuration tasks.
Field Device Manager
Field Device Manager (FDM) is a complete instrument asset management system that can range
from a single self-contained server/client node to a very distributed architecture, such as Experion
system. FDM is used for commissioning, and maintenance of smart field devices.
FDM conforms to industry open standards for HART
Wireless protocols and does not require additional files or programming to support devices to
access device-specific features. This includes unrestricted use of both Device Description (DD)
and Device Type Manager (DTM) technologies.
FDM uses a unique remote communication infrastructure that allows widely distributed devices to
communicate over a local or a wide network, providing anytime, anywhere access in the plant
environment.
Below components will be used by user to commission SLN700 device in FDM:
•
FDM Server Management Tool – This tool is used to configure a HART
•
FDM Client Management Tool – This tool is used to configure a device and perform online
and offline configurations.
