Only sent if Cmd 9 is being used 
If any information within a device is changed, the device sets its Configuration Changed 
bit (bit 6 of Field Device Status byte), which is detected by the module. The module then 
automatically resends the appropriate HART commands to refresh this set of data stored 
in the module. The first command sent is Command 38 which will reset the 
‘configuration changed’ bit in the device. An Input tag status bit in the module is used to 
indicate that the device information has changed. The user may examine this bit and 
resend the CIP message to get the latest device information.

Command:

Comment: 
38 
Reset Configuration Changed Flag 
Resets the Configuration Changed 
Response Code, Bit 36 of the 
Transmitter Status Byte. Secondary 
Master devices (address 0) should not 
issue this command. Primary Master 
devices (address 1) should issue this 
command only after the Configuration 
Changed Response Code has been 
detected and acted upon.

The following table describes the class service code and instances required to send the 
Read Additional Device Status message: 
The module manages different priority levels of issuing the commands to refresh the 
device information data based upon whether pass-throughs are active during this time. 
Asset software may be trying to configure the device, or it may be performing a 
calibration sequence that needs as much bandwidth as possible 
4.2.4 HART Pass-Through Interface 
The module will provide a mechanism to send HART messages to a HART device on 
any of the channels using the CIP unconnected messaging interface. This is called HART 
pass-through because the module is just directly sending the requested HART message to 
the HART device and then returning the reply to the requester. 
There are three different pass-through interface types made available to support multiple 
client requests for pass-through at the same time. The three types are User Ladder, 
RSLogix, and Asset SW (Connects or DTM).
