Integration of a meshed network into SIMATIC PCS 7
■
Configuration
Configuration of the SITRANS TF280 transmitter may be carried
out as follows:
• Initial commissioning for the SITRANS TF280 with SIMATIC
PDM is generally carried out via a HART modem or the inte-
grated local user interface, since the network ID and join Key
must be set up on the device before it can be accepted and
integrated into the WirelessHART network.
• Once it is integrated into the network, the device can be con-
veniently operated with the WirelessHART network or onsite
with a HART modem or via the local user interface.
■
Technical specifications
The SITRANS TF280 can be mechanically installed in two ways:
• Direct at the measuring point with a M20x1.5 thread.
A connection to other threads can be done via the adapter.
• Remotely from the Pt100 sensor, which is connected to the
transmitter via a cable.
The data in the following table refer to the transmitter only ex-
cluding a connected sensor, except as noted otherwise.
