Primary vs. Secondary Master

Two HART master devices can operate simultaneously: 1 primary master and 1 secondary master. Use the Software Master Mode setting to specify the relationship between the gateway DTM and the HART analog I/O multiplexer resident in the module, either:

Primary Master: Select this if the gateway DTM is the primary master of the HART multiplexer.
Secondary Master: Select this if this DTM is configured as the secondary master of the HART multiplexer.
NOTE: When the module is configured as a secondary master:
- the Configuration parameters in the General Information dialog are read-only
- the Address Table, Host Communication Status, Instrument Status, and Multiplexer Status dialogs are not available
