detect and identify Process Control Necessary Parts for Communication Uni-Probe LB 490 / 491 User Interfaces
Prozessmesstechnik Seite 2 Dieter Mehret Overview of the Options for Communication 1) 2) 4) HART via Communicator HART via PDM - for PC - for DCS/PCS Service Tool for Software-Update via PC 3) HART via FDT/DTM - for PC - for DCS/PCS You can communicate with the Uni-Probe by using several different User-Interfaces. 5) FF via NI-Configurator - for DCS/PCS Profibus-PA via PDM - for DCS/PCS 6)
Prozessmesstechnik Seite 3 Dieter Mehret ) HART via Communicator 1.1) Necessary Parts: HART-Communicator 1.2) DD für HART-Communicator (Software) obtainable see above Note: The DD revision of the communicator must be ≤ than the "Field Device Version" of the Uni-Probe. Due to this it is worthwhile to load all available revisions in the communicator. Up to now there are: 3 DD revisions for the LB DD revisions for the LB 491 Note: In order to load DDs via Internet, you need a so called Upgrade Toolkit. You can order this Toolkit together with the communicator. If you order the communicator from Berthold, then you can download DD's from the Internet for 3 years. After 3 years you can extend it if you wish. If you buy the communicator 375 from Berthold, all Berthold DD's are installed in the communicator. part no (Model 375 only) Model not available any more - DDs must be loaded by the supplier of the communicator, at the owner's expense! Model current type - DDs downloadable via Internet also for FF!
Prozessmesstechnik Seite 4 Dieter Mehret ) HART via FDT/DTM DTM Software 2.6) part no.: ) PC with RS 232 or USB Interface or DCS/PCS (with FDT-Container and HART- interface) 2.4) FDT Software e.g. "PACTware" - download cost free via Internet ( - must be installed on the PC 2.3) HART Modem part no (RS 232) part no (USB) 2.1) not necessary for DCS/PCS, because already installed Uni-Probe with newest software DTM = Device Type Manager It is a instrument specific software, which must be integrated in the FDT system software, e.g. PACTware. The software is Windows based. FDT = Field Device Tool Necessary Parts: ≥Rev.14 for LB 490 ≥Rev. 8 for LB 491 DTM Software 2.5) e.g. "PACTware HART Communication DTM (3.0)" - download cost free via Internet ( - must be installed on the PC Is in series since May 2006.
Prozessmesstechnik Seite 5 Dieter Mehret ) HART via PDM Necessary Parts: 3.2) PC with RS 232 or USB Interface or Siemens Simatic DCS/PCS with HART interface DD (Software) 3.5) part no (LB490 DD Revision ≥ 3) part no (LB491 DD Revision ≥ 2) 3.4) Simatic PDM Software (Revision ≥5.2) 3.3) HART Modem part no (RS 232) part no (USB) 3.1) Uni-Probe with newest software ≥Rev.14 for LB 490 ≥Rev. 8 for LB 491 Is in series since May part no not necessary for Siemens DCS/PCS, because usually already installed not necessary for Siemens DCS/PCS, because already installed PDM = Process Device Manager The Siemens Simatic PDM can be integrated on HART or on Profibus PA. The following case describes the connection for HART.
Prozessmesstechnik Seite 6 Dieter Mehret ) Profibus-PA via PDM Necessary Parts: 4.2) Process Control System with Profibus PA via PDM 4.1) Uni-Probe with Profibus PA-Bus Unit PDM = Process Device Manager The Siemens Simatic PDM can be integrated on HART or on Profibus PA. The following case describes the connection for Profibus PA 4.3) GSD Software Necessary for the measurement value transfer to the host system part no.: will be defined 4.4) EDD Software User Interface Necessary for parameter set up and calibration. part no.: will be defined All Uni-Probes with Fieldbus can communicate by HART alternatively. Further the 4-20mA signal can be used parallel to the PA-Signal. E.g. for an instrument at the measuring point to show the reading.
Prozessmesstechnik Seite 7 Dieter Mehret ) FF via NI-Configurator Necessary Parts: 5.2) Process Control System with FF (Fieldbus Foundation) 5.1) Uni-Probe with FF-Bus Unit - already proven with NIFBUS control system - other process control systems must be tested if required FF = Fieldbus Foundation 5.3) Capability File Necessary for the measurement value transfer to the host system part no.: will be defined 5.4) EDD Software User Interface Necessary for parameter set up and calibration. part no.: will be defined All Uni-Probes with Fieldbus can communicate by HART alternatively. Further the 4-20mA signal can be used parallel to the PA-Signal. E.g. for an instrument at the measuring point to show the reading.
Prozessmesstechnik Seite 8 Dieter Mehret ) Service Tool for Software-Update via PC Necessary Parts: 6.1) PC with RS 232 Interface Embedded Soft. 6.4) 6.3) Uni-Loader (PC-Program) 6.2) RS-232 cable (Null-Modem cable) part no part no part no Level LB 490 part no Density LB 491 With this tool you can make an update of the Uni-Probe software.
