3-4 <3 PRM Synchronization Tool start> 8. In the right pane, click the check boxes corresponding to the devices you want to include in the activity. A check mark appears on the top of the device tag to indicate that the device is selected. Device tags that appear in blue indicate that the device was included in the list of the previous data transfer. Device layout displayed in the right pane is not always identical to the ones in PRM.
3-5 <3 PRM Synchronization Tool start> Handling overwrite messages During the Restore activity, the Overwriting Message dialog box appears when the device information from FieldMate is different from the device information in PRM. This dialog box enables you to select the overwrite rule. Table3-1 Situations that trigger the Overwriting Message PRM Timestamp FieldMate Timestamp Result Same Same None. Newer Older Overwriting Message appears. Older Newer Overwriting Message appears.
3-6 <3 PRM Synchronization Tool start> 3-2 Backing up device information from FieldMate to PRM After performing device tuning using FieldMate, select the Backup activity to transfer device information from FieldMate to PRM. This feature enables FieldMate to make full use of the larger capacity of PRM to store device information. Before proceeding with the activity, you can enable an option to delete selected devices in FieldMate after the data transfer.
3-7 <3 PRM Synchronization Tool start> 7. Select a FieldMate Device Navigator option: • [All] to display all FieldMate devices in the right pane. • [Favorites] to display favorite devices in the right pane. • [Search] to perform a search. • [Selected Devices] to display selected devices for synchronization.
3-8 <3 PRM Synchronization Tool start> 9. Click the [Delete selected devices from FieldMate after Backup Activity] check box if you want to delete the devices in FieldMate after the activity. 10. Click [Start Backup]. The Backup Devices in Progress dialog box appears to display the activity progress. When you start the activity, a dialog box appears to display the activity progress. Click [Show Details] to display the activity details.
3-9 <3 PRM Synchronization Tool start> 3-3 Synchronizing device information between PRM and FieldMate Select the Synchronize activity to update information between FieldMate and PRM based on new records. Newly-imported devices in PRM appear in the Spare folder of Plant view, in the respective protocol folder in Network view, and under the actual class of the device in Class view. Devices that were included in the previous data transfer will remain in the same view and folder.
3-10 <3 PRM Synchronization Tool start> 030306E.ai Figure3-6 8. PRM Synchronization Tool window - Synchronize activity In the right pane, click the check boxes corresponding to the devices you want to include in the synchronization. A check mark appears on the top of the device tag to indicate that the device is selected. TIP 9. • To view selected devices, select [Selected Devices] to view them. This will display all selected devices in the right pane.
3-11 <3 PRM Synchronization Tool start> TIP You can also stop the activity at any point in time. To stop the activity, click [Stop] in the Synchronize Devices in Progress dialog box. When an activity is stopped, the process is halted but the information that was processed before stopping the activity will not be reverted. 11. When the activity is finished, click [Close].
3-4 3-12 <3 PRM Synchronization Tool start> Performing advanced configurations and searching devices PRM Synchronization Tool includes advanced configurations and search options.

3-13 <3 PRM Synchronization Tool start> History History messages can be included in the data transfer. When included, you can specify the history message items you want to include. 030308E.ai Figure3-8 Advance Configuration dialog box - History tab TIP PRM Synchronization Tool can include maintenance alarm messages from PRM but cannot acknowledge or create new messages. To select history messages: 1. Under Data Options, select the [History] check box.
3-14 <3 PRM Synchronization Tool start> Memo You can include a maximum of 1000 memos during data transfer. Both approved and unapproved memos will be transferred from PRM to FieldMate. Memos that are transferred from FieldMate to PRM will be created as unapproved memos. 030309E.ai Figure3-9 Advanced Configurations dialog box - Memo tab To select memo: 1. Under Data Options, select the [Memo] check box. A check mark appears and the options in the Memo tab are enabled.
3-15 <3 PRM Synchronization Tool start> Parameter sets You can configure the parameter set for each selected device. FieldMate can support up to five parameter sets for each device. When this limit is reached, FieldMate will automatically overwrite the oldest parameter set. You can select parameter sets either automatically or manually. In the Synchronize activity, both PRM and FieldMate parameter sets can be manually selected.
3-16 <3 PRM Synchronization Tool start> 4. Click [OK] to apply and save the settings. • Click [Cancel] to revert to the previous configuration settings. • Click [Default] to use the Advanced configurations default settings. SEE ALSO For “Do not Archive key”, please see: “Performing device parameter adjustment” in A6 IM 33Y05Q10-11E, Plant Resource Manager Reference.

4 4-1 <4 Device Tag Extension Mode> Device Tag Extension Mode Outline of PRM/FieldMate synchronization compatibilities Devices with extended device tag are recognized and handled according to HART Device Tag Display Format such as “Tag + Descriptor” or “Descriptor” or “Message” on both PRM and FieldMate sides. On PRM R3.03 or later and FieldMate R2.01.
4-2 <4 Device Tag Extension Mode> Synchronizing Devices with HART Device Tag Display Format The same Device Tag Extension Mode needs to be set on PRM and FieldMate. Even if the user renames the device tag on one side, it is updated to the other side after the synchronization as long as the HART Device Tag Display Format of the device is consistent with the HART Device Tag Display Format on the other side.
<4 Device Tag Extension Mode> 4-3 Synchronizing Devices in STARDOM Upstream Project TIP The followings describes sample case and operation work flow only for STARDOM user. In STARDOM upstream project, the synchronization between PRM and FieldMate works except the project name portion of the extended device tag. Project name is ignored.
