The Model PC20 Configurator is a software
package that supports remote communication
and configuration for all Foxboro Intelligent
Transmitters. It provides all of the functionality
of the Foxboro Hand-Held Terminal (HHT) and
HART M275 Configurator while taking advantage
of the superior display, keyboard, storage, and
printing capabilities of a personal computer
system.
Because more data can be displayed on a PC
screen and more keys are available, virtually all
operations require fewer keystrokes when
compared to the HHT. The use of a PC allows
additional functionality, such as unlimited
transmitter database storage, printouts, output
trending, enhanced diagnostic capability, and
on-line help screens.
An external modem allows the program to
communicate to the field device thru the
computer serial port. Communication with the
intelligent field devices uses proven frequency
shift keying (FSK) techniques that do not affect
the transmitter output signal. Operations are
password protected one level allows
recalibration and another level allows
reconfiguration.
Whether used in conjunction with or as an
alternative to the Hand-Held Terminal, the PC20
Configurator is a powerful and effective tool for
improving the efficiency of your engineering,
installation, and maintenance operations.
