HPC301 Introduction

The HPC301 (HART Pocket Configurator) is a Palm OS based software that runs in the Palm Operating System version 3.5 and later. The HPC301 Package is comprised of three parts: 1. The communication interface, specifically the HPI311 (HART Pocket Interface), 2. the Palm OS based handheld, and 3. the configuration software, specifically the HPC301 (HART Pocket Configurator). The HPC301 software is compatible with most Palm handheld versions, this gives the user the flexibility to choose which handheld would be best suited for their purposes. Listed below are the three communication interfaces supported (refer to the HPI311 Reference Guide): HPI311-V - Compatible with Palm V/Vx. HPI311-III - Compatible with Palm IIIc, and VIIx. (Palm VIIx is available only in the USA.) HPI311-M5 - Compatible with Palm m125/130, m500/505/515 and i705. (Palm i705 is available only in the USA.)

NOTE

The configuration software is always the same independently of the interface or Palm handheld model chosen.



HPC301 Software Installation

NOTE

If you are unfamiliar with the Palm handheld and it’s associated terminology, read the manual that came with your handheld to become familiar with it’s terminology and usage. Any Palm terminology used hereafter in this section will be denoted by italic font.

The HPC301 setup program, HPC301.EXE, may be obtained from the Internet at http://www.smarresearch.com/hpc301.html or from your local Smar distributor. To Install/Upgrade the HPC301 software:

1. Ensure the cradle is connected to your computer and the Palm Desktop software is

installed. 2. Exit all open programs. 3. Start the setup program by double clicking on the HPC301.EXE file. 4. When the HPC301 Installer menu appears, click the Next button to begin the installation

procedure and follow the on screen instructions. 5. Start the Hotsync Manager, if not already started. 6. Insert your handheld in its cradle and press the HotSync button. The HPC301 application

will automatically be installed into your Palm handheld. Now you should be able to see the HPC301 icon in the Palm Handheld (Figure 1).

Figure 1



Starting the Software

To start the HPC301 software: 1. Tap the HPC301 icon. The following screen will appear:

Figure 2 2. Now select the device polling address by choosing an address from 0 to 15. Select a

particular device address, a particular device tag, or a range of addresses.

NOTE

Please refer to the field devices’ operation manual for connection of the Configurator to the HART Network.

3. Tap the Poll button and the HPC301 will poll the network for the desired device. After

execution of the Poll function, the list of polled devices found on the bus will be available (Figure 3).

Figure 3 4. Select a device from the list by taping on it. The HPC301 will provide acces s to all

functions available for this device. For instance, if the selected device is a LD301, the next screen shown would be Figure 4, but if instead the device is a TT301 Figure 5 would be shown.



Figure 4 Figure 5 5. For further explanation of specific field device procedures, please refer to the

instructions provided in the Appendix. If no instructions for the specific device are available, refer to the Generic device section.

Calibrating the Palm handheld screen

Sometimes when you try to tap the buttons or icons on your Palm screen, the handheld will activate the wrong feature. When this happens, it usually means that the Palm handheld screen needs to be calibrated. Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions (tapping and writing problems) section of your Palm manual for calibration instructions.

Introduction

NOTE:

Refer to the LD301's Operation and Maintenance Instruction/Manual for detailed information of the topics described below.

By means of the HART Configurator, the LD301 firmware allows the following configuration features to be accessed:

ü Transmitter Identification and Manufacturing Data.

ü Primary Variable Trim - Pressure.

ü Primary Variable Trim - Current.

ü Transmitter Adjustment to the Working Range.

ü Engineering Unit Selection.

ü Transference Function for Flow rates Measurement.

ü Linearization Table.

ü Totalizer Configuration.

ü PID Controller Configuration.

ü Device Configuration.

ü Equipment Maintenance.

The operations, which take place between the configurator and the transmitter do not interrupt the Pressure measurement, and do not disturb the output signal. The configurator can be connected on the same pair of wires as the 4-20 mA signal, up to 2 km away from the transmitter.

NOTE:

All HPC301 button sequences provided in this Appendix assume that you are starting from the main LD301 menu (Figure 1). Refer to Starting the Software section of this manual to get to this position.
