6.5 HART Communication

Apart from local operation, parameterization of the measuring device and viewing of the

measured values by means of a HART protocol can also be accomplished. There are two

options available for operation:

• Operation via the universal handheld operating unit, the Field Communicator 375,

475

• Operation via the Personal Computer (PC) using the operating program

(e.g. FieldCare; see Figure 5-4 on page 29).

• Operation via the 4590 Tank Side Monitor.

Note The 7500 series RTGs can also be operated locally using the keys. If

operation is prevented by the keys being locked locally, parameter entry via

communication is not possible either.
