Option Description Setup
Polling The meter polls an external de-
vice for temperature data. This
data will be available in addi-
tion to the internal RTD tem-
perature data.
a. Set Line Temperature Source to Poll for External Value.
b. Set Polling Slot to an available slot.
c. Set Polling Control to Poll as Primary or Poll as Secondary.
Option Description
Poll as Primary No other HART masters will be on the
network. The Field Communicator is not
a HART master.
Poll as Secondary Other HART masters will be on the net-
work. The Field Communicator is not a
HART master.
d. Set External Device Tag to the HART tag of the temperature
device.
e. Click Apply.
Digital communica-
tions
A host writes temperature data
to the meter at appropriate in-
tervals. This data will be availa-
ble in addition to the internal
RTD temperature data.
a. Set Line Temperature Source to Fixed Value or Digital Communica-
tions.
b. Click Apply.
c. Perform the necessary host programming and communica-
tions setup to write temperature data to the meter at appro-
priate intervals.
3. Choose the method you will use to supply pressure data, and perform the required
setup.
Option Description Setup
Polling The meter polls an external de-
vice for pressure data.
a. Set Line Pressure Source to Poll for External Value.
b. Set Polling Slot to an available slot.
c. Set Polling Control to Poll as Primary or Poll as Secondary.
d. Set External Device Tag to the HART tag of the temperature
device.
Digital communica-
tions
A host writes pressure data to
the meter at appropriate inter-
vals.
a. Set Line Pressure Source to Fixed Value or Digital Communications.
b. Perform the necessary host programming and communica-
tions setup to write pressure data to the meter at appropri-
ate intervals.
Postrequisites
If you are using external temperature data, verify the external temperature value displayed
in the Inputs group on the ProLink III main window .
The current pressure value is displayed in the External Pressure field. Verify that the value is
correct.
