HART DEVICE DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE
The HART protocol incorporates a concept called the
Device Description Language (DDL) that enables all
suppliers of HART instruments to define and document
their products in a single consistent format. This format
is readable by handheld communicators, PCs and
other process interface devices that support DDL.
DDL enables full interoperability of devices, regardless
of manufacturer, allowing full functionality from any
HART device.
In the event that your Communicator does not
establish communications with the FlexSonic Acoustic
Detector, ensure that the appropriate DDLs for the
Acoustic Detector have been programmed into your
Communicator. To review the DDLs programmed into
your HART Communicator:
1. From the Main menu, access the Offline menu.
2. From the Offline menu, select New Configuration to
access the list of device descriptions programmed
into the HART Communicator.
3. Select Det-Tronics and review the list of models to
determine if the ATX10 DDLs are installed in your
Communicator.
If the ATX10 DDLs have not been programmed into
the HART Communicator, you must use the generic
interface built into your HART Communicator.
The HART Communication Foundation manages a
library of Manufacturer Device Descriptions, which are
distributed to programming sites for inclusion in master
devices. A complete listing of the HCF DD Library is
available for download in manufacturer and device type
sequence at hartcomm.org.
PASSWORD PROTECTION
The ATX10 allows the use of a password for restricting
changes to configuration parameters and limiting
access to safety critical commands.
To enable/disable the Write Protect feature, navigate to
the Write Protect screen.
