• If HART is enabled, but the HART Field Device is not responding,
HART initializing is displayed.
Table 29 - HART Device Info Tab
Parameter Description
Channel Click a channel to display the parameters for the corresponding channel.
Refresh Click to update all attributes displayed on this tab for the corresponding channel.
Tag Displays the tag name of the HART Field Device. The tag name is entered into
the Field Device to indicate its location and purpose in the plant.
Message Displays the text that was entered in the Message parameter of the HART Field
Device. The use of this parameter can vary. One possible use is to store
information such as who last calibrated the device, or reference to
documentation.
Descriptor Displays the Descriptor field from the HART Field Device. The Descriptor is a text
message that can be stored in the device to help identify the device or it can be
used for other plant specific purposes.
Date Displays the date entered in the device. This date is often used to record the last
calibration date, but it is up to the end user to maintain it. It is displayed in the
format selected for your computer using the Regional and Language settings on
the Control Panel.
Write Protect Displays a Yes or No indicating if the HART Field Device is write protected. If a
device is write protected, some parameters cannot be changed via HART
communication. Note that sometimes devices do not indicate that the
configuration changed when their write-protect setting changes. This causes the
previous value to remain displayed here. You can inhibit/uninhibit the HART
module to refresh this.
Manufacturer ID Displays the manufacturer name (for example, Allen-Bradley or Endress +
Hauser) or the numeric value for the manufacturer. Use the Company
Identification Code table as a guide, as shown in Appendix E.
Device Type Displays the device type for Endress + Hauser devices or a numeric value for all
other manufacturer devices. Device type indicates the manufacturer's type of the
device, or product name. For example, Cerabar S pressure transmitters from
Endress + Hauser have Device Type 7.
Device ID Displays a number that represents the device ID. Device ID is a serial number
assigned by the manufacturer that is unique among all devices produced by that
manufacturer.
Final Assembly
Number
Displays a number that represents the final assembly number. The Final
Assembly Number is used for identifying the materials and electronics that
comprise the field device. It is normally changed when electronics or other
components are upgraded in the field. In some instances, this number references
a drawing number.
Status Channel status is available only for 1756-IF8H, 1756-IF16H, and 1756-OF8H
modules with firmware revision 2.1.
Diagnostic Code Device status is available only for 1756-IF8H, 1756-IF16H, and 1756-OF8H
