Connecting PACTware to a HART Field Instrument
NOTE: The following example describes third-party software. Refer to the manufacturer product documentation for detailed operating instructions.
Follow these steps to connect PACTware to a HART field instrument:
Step
Action
1
Follow the manufacturer instructions, and install the PACTware software. The installation needs to include each necessary DTM–including the HART gateway module DTM, and the HART field instrument DTM (for example, the TT51 device by KROHNE).
2
Run PACTware. If any updates are detected, follow the steps (if any) presented by PACTware to update the DTM library.
3
In the Project window, right-click on HOST PC; then select Add device from the context menu. The Device for dialog opens.
4
In the Device for dialog, select the EtherNet/IP Comm Adapter by Schneider Electric; then click OK.
5
In the Project window, right-click on EtherNet/IP Comm Adapter; then select Add device from the context menu. The Device for dialog opens.
6
In the Device for dialog, select the HART gateway module DTM (for example, the BMEAHI0812 or the BMEAHO0412); then click OK.
7
In the Project window, right-click on the HART gateway module DTM (for example, the BMEAHI0812 or the BMEAHO0412); then select Add device from the context menu. The Device for dialog opens.
8
In the Device for dialog, select the HART field instrument DTM (for example, the TT51 device by KROHNE); then click OK.
9
In the Device for dialog, double-click on the EtherNet/IP Comm Adapter to open its DTM.
10
In the Configuration tab, for the Host Address select the IP address for the host PC running the PACTware software.
NOTE: The Host IP Address needs to be in the same subnet as the HART gateway module.
11
In the AddressTable tab, input the IP Address for the HART gateway DTM (for example, the BMEAHI0812 or the BMEAHO0412 you selected in step 8, then click OK.
NOTE: Confirm the IP address you input is the address of the HART gateway module, and not the M580 CPU.
12
In the Project window, double-click on the HART gateway module to open its DTM.
13
In the Address Table page, input the HART channel to which the field instrument is connected; then click OK
14
In the Project window, right-click the HART field instrument DTM; then select Connect from the context menu.
15
In the Project window, right-click the HART field instrument DTM; then select Load from device from the context menu. The HART field instrument is now ready to be accessed in the PACTware software.
16
To view data from the HART field instrument, in the Project window right-click the HART field instrument DTM, then select Measured value from the context menu. Data from the instrument is displayed and cyclically updated.
