5.5 Configuring device parameters
The device parameters are used to describe the flowmeter as a system. Device parameters are listed
and defined in Table 5-6.
Note: The HART device ID, which is displayed in some menus, can be set only once, and is usually set at the
factory to the device serial number. If the HART device ID has not been set, its value is 0. On a multidrop
network, the HART device ID must be a unique value.
Configuration
To configure device parameters:
• Using the Communicator, select
Detailed Setup > Device Information.
• Using ProLink II, click
ProLink > Configuration > Device.
Note: You cannot configure device parameters with the display.
If you are entering a date:
• With ProLink II, use the left and right arrows at the top of the calendar to select the year and
month, then click on a date.
• With a Communicator, enter a value in the form mm/dd/yyyy.
