2.3 Make a startup connection to the transmitter
For all configuration tools except the display, you must have an active connection to the
transmitter to configure the transmitter. Follow this procedure to make your first
connection to the transmitter.
Identify the connection type to use, and follow the instructions for that connection type in
the appropriate appendix. Use the default communications parameters shown in the
appendix.
Communications tool Connection type to use Instructions
ProLink II HART/RS-485 Appendix B
ProLink III HART/RS-485 Appendix C
Field Communicator HART Appendix D
Postrequisites
(Optional) Change the communications parameters to site-specific values.
To change the communications parameters using ProLink II:
• To change the protocol, baud rate, parity, or stop bits, choose ProLink > Configuration >
RS-485.
• To change the address, choose ProLink > Configuration > Device.
To change the communications parameters using ProLink III, choose Device Tools >
Configuration > Communications.
To change the communications parameters using the Field Communicator, choose On-Line
Menu > Configure > Manual Setup > Inputs/Outputs > Communications.
Important
If you are changing communications parameters for the connection type that you are using, you will
lose the connection when you write the parameters to the transmitter. Reconnect using the new
parameters.
