475 FIELD COMMUNICATOR APPENDIX C GRAPHICS INFORMATION OVERVIEW The Graphics functionality enables new, graphical screens by using enhanced Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) capabilities. You can now view HART or fieldbus device information as images, charts, and graphs. To view the graphical representations, you need a device using an enhanced EDDL device description and a 475 Field Communicator.
BUTTONS Use the following buttons to modify the appearance of the graphs and charts on your window: Pan - Tap this button, select a point in the chart or graph, and drag to move it back and forth in the window. Area zoom - Tap this button, then tap and drag a point in the chart to create an enlarged box. After you release your stylus from the window, the chart enlarges to fit the area. This control is available on strip charts and graphs only.
Charts Charts display a graphic view of variables as they occur over time. There are four major types of charts: • Strip/sweep/scope - Displays variable data with an x-axis of time. A strip chart continually updates the chart, scrolling from right to left. A sweep chart paints the window from left to right, and then paints the window from left to right again, overwriting the oldest data. A vertical line is used to separate the old and new data.
Figure C-3. Strip/sweep/scope chart example Horizontal bar charts A horizontal bar chart formats device data into bars from left to right and varies with time. Use the drop-down list to select the variable you want to highlight. Additional horizontal bars may be present if more than one variable is defined for the option you selected in the drop-down list. The selected variable from the drop-down list appears in color and has a black dot at the end of it.
Vertical bar charts A vertical bar chart formats device data into bars from bottom to top and varies with time. Use the drop-down list to select the variable you want to highlight. Additional vertical bars may be present if more than one variable is defined for the option you selected in the drop-down menu. The selected variable from the drop-down list appears in color and has a black dot above it. The colors displayed are determined by the device description and may vary between devices.
Figure C-6. Gauge chart example Graphs A graph is a snapshot line drawing of device information. Use the drop-down list to select the variable you want to highlight. Additional variables may be present if more than one is defined for the option selected in the drop-down list. The selected variable from the drop-down list appears as a bold, solid colored line while the other variables with the same Y-axis appear as thin colored lines.
475 FIELD COMMUNICATOR GLOSSARY Alphanumeric A character set that contains both letters and digits and, usually, other characters, such as punctuation marks. AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager Software for remotely managing Smart devices (offline or online) over existing HART, FOUNDATION fieldbus, or PROFIBUS DP networks. You can use AMS Device Manager to monitor and configure devices, maintain calibration results, run diagnostic routines, and maintain historical data.
Data Link Time Data Link Time is a network-wide time periodically distributed by the LAS to synchronize all device clocks on the bus. Device See HART device or fieldbus device. Device configuration Parameters that define the physical attributes and operating characteristics of a device. It does not include dynamic data. Device configuration management A licensed feature that lets you save up to 1000 HART device or user configurations, depending on file size, to a System Card.
Fieldbus device A device that communicates information using the fieldbus protocol on a digital, serial, multidrop data bus. Fieldbus Foundation The organization that develops and supports FOUNDATION fieldbus, an international, interoperable standard for communication of process automation and control information. Members include suppliers and end users of process control and manufacturing automation products.
Instantiation Some FOUNDATION fieldbus devices support instantiation of function or transducer blocks in the device. This means the device allows a command to be sent to it that will create (instantiate) additional function or transducer blocks in the device. After instantiation, these blocks operate like any other block in the device. The 475 Field Communicator supports the commands to instantiate and to delete function and transducer blocks in a fieldbus device.
Link Master A Link Master device controls when devices access the fieldbus and executes the link schedule, which synchronizes communications with function block execution on the fieldbus. The H1 card or any device that supports Link Master functionality can function as a Link Master device. Only one Link Master device can be active at a time on the fieldbus segment. This device is called the LAS. Link Master Configuration An option to set a device as a basic or link master device.
Resource CD or DVD A CD or DVD included with the purchase of a 475 Field Communicator. It contains electronic copies of product documentation, the install file for the Easy Upgrade Utility, and the latest system software and device descriptions at the time the CD or DVD was created. The Resource CD contains English versions of the documentation, system software, and Easy Upgrade Utility. The Resource DVD contains the documentation and software in English and additional languages.
User data file A text (.TXT) file created by a user either on a PC or with the ScratchPad application on the 475 Field Communicator. User data files can be transferred between the Field Communicator Easy Upgrade Utility and a 475. WirelessHART adapter A HART device that meets the WirelessHART standard and enables a wired HART device to join a Wireless network and communicate with the gateway.
