Configuration With The Pc / Laptop Or Handheld Terminal - ABB 2600T Series Operating Instruction

11.6 Configuration with the PC / laptop or handheld
terminal
The 266 multivariable transmitters can be configured with the
aid of the following devices:
— Handheld terminals such as the ABB DHH800 MFC, or
from a different manufacturer, with the prerequisite that
the 266 EDD has been loaded and activated in the
terminal.
— ABB Asset Vision Basic, a free-of-charge software
configurator, that can be downloaded at
www.abb.com/Instrumentation.
— Software for configuration of field devices, with the
prerequisite that it is compatible with EDD or DTM.
A handheld terminal can be connected directly to a
4 ... 20 mA line if the connected power supply unit is equipped
with an integrated communication resistor. If a communication
resistor with a resistance of at least 250 Ω is not present, an
additional resistor must be installed. Connect the handheld
terminal between the resistor and the transmitter, not between
the resistor and the power supply unit.

For additional information, see the "Handheld Terminal"
operating instruction.
When using a graphic user interface (DTM) all configuration
possibilities are available.
The procedure for program installation is described in the
appropriate installation manual delivered with the software.
The transmitter can be configured, read out and tested via the
program. With the aid of the integrated database a
configuration can also be executed in offline mode. Each
configuration step is subject to a plausibility check. A each
point of the program context-sensitive help can be called via
"F1".
Immediately after receipt of the transmitter or after changing
the configuration, we recommend that back up the existing
configuration on a separate data medium under "Save in
database".
Operating instructions for the program "Asset Vision Basic"
are provided in the appropriate user manual.
