1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The SLG 700 SmartLine Level Transmitter can be configured for operation with HARTversion 7
or FOUNDATIONFieldbus communication. This manual addresses the processes to configure a
Transmitter for HARTcommunication.
1.1.1 HARTMode Communication
As indicated in Figure 1, the output of a transmitter configured for HARTprotocol includes two
primary modes:
Point-to-Point Mode: where one Transmitter is connected via a two-conductor, 4-20
mA current loop to one receiver.
Multi-Drop Mode: where multiple Transmitters are connected through a two-
conductor network to a multiplexed receiver device.
Figure 1 –HART Point-to-Point and Multi-drop Value Scaling
In point-to-point mode, the value of the Primary Variable (PV) is represented by a 4-20mA current
loop, almost identical to that of a Transmitter operating in analog mode. In this case, however, the
analog signal is modulated by Frequency Shift Keying (FSK), using frequencies and current
amplitude that do not affect analog sensing at the receiver. FSK modulation is for sending digital
messages in addition to the analog value. The accuracy of the analog level must be precisely
controlled for accurate sensing. HART communication will not bump process variables.
In multi-drop mode, theoretically up to 16 devices in HART 5 (addresses 0-15) or up to 64 devices
in HART6/7 (addresses 0-63) can exist on the two-conductor network. Practically, the number of
devices in a multi-drop installation is limited due to design constraints. When installing into a multi-
drop network, consider that the SLG700 requires a minimum startup current of 17mA and a
minimum terminal voltage of 11V during startup. After this initial startup period (approximately 0.5
seconds), the loop current will be fixed at 4mA, and the minimum terminal voltage is 14V. The
power source, wiring, intrinsic safety barriers, and other devices in the network must also be
considered.

Page 2 SLG 700 Series HART Option User’s Manual Revision 5
Transmitters with HART capability have features that vary among manufacturers and with the
characteristics of specific devices. The FDC software application executing on the MCT404
supports the HART Universal, Common Practice and Device Specific Commands which are
implemented in the Honeywell Transmitters.
1.2 Making Transmitter Adjustments
Zero and Span adjustments are possible in new generation SLG 700 SmartLine Level
Transmitters by using the optional three-button assembly located at the top of the Electronic
Housing. However, certain capabilities are limited in the following configurations:
Without a display –Zero and Span setting only for HART devices.
With a display –Display supports configuration of basic parameters. Complete
transmitter configuration is possible only with DD and DTM.
You can also use the Honeywell MCT404 Configuration Tool to make any adjustments to an SLG
700 Transmitter. The MCT404 tool has two applications; MC Toolkit (MCT) and Field Device
Configurator (FDC).
Using the FDC application, you can adjust the SLG 700 HART model configuration.
Certain adjustments can also be made through the Experion Station if the Transmitter is digitally
integrated with a Honeywell Experion System.
SLG 700 HART models can be configured using Honeywell tools such as Experion in conjunction
with FDM, using DTMs running in FDM or PACTware, or Emerson 375 or 475.
1.2.1 Local Display Options

2 Configuration Tools and Interfaces
2.1 Overview
This section describes the tools and interfaces involved in configuring a new SLG 700 SmartLine
Level Transmitter for HARTcommunication operation. The information in this section also applies
to adjusting the configuration of a Transmitter that has been in operation and updating one that is
currently in operation.
2.1.1 Prerequisites
The information and procedures in this manual are based on the assumption that personnel
performing configuration and calibration tasks are fully qualified and knowledgeable in the use of
the Honeywell MC Toolkit or MCT404. The name MC Toolkit or Toolkit and MCT404 are used
interchangeably as MCT404 is the model name for the Honeywell MC Toolkit product.
When using MCT404,before connecting to a HART transmitter, verify that the Field
Device Configurator (FDC) application is used and not the MC Toolkit application. When
you use the MC Toolkit application, the MCT404 is set for DE communications, where the
current amplitude can bump process variables in either point-to-point or in the multi-drop
mode in HART.
Furthermore, we assume that the reader is intimately familiar with the SLG 700 family of
SmartLine Level Transmitters and thoroughly experienced in the type of process application
targeted for Transmitter deployment. Therefore, detailed procedures are supplied only in so far as
necessary to ensure satisfactory completion of configuration tasks.
2.1.2 MC Toolkit
Before using the MC Toolkit, be sure that you are aware of the potential
consequences of each procedure, and that you use appropriate safeguards to avoid
possible problems. For example, if the Transmitter is an element in a control loop, the
loop needs to be put in manual mode, and alarms and interlocks (i.e., trips) need to be
disabled, as appropriate, before starting a procedure.
2.1.3 MC Toolkit (MCT404) Software Applications
The MC Toolkit (handheld) has two software applications to work with SLG 700 SmartLine Level
Transmitters:
Field Device Configurator (FDC). This application is used for configuring,
calibrating, monitoring, and diagnosing HART devices. FDC conforms to the IEC
61804-3 EDDL (Electronic Data Description Language) standard specification. The
FDC application is an open solution that supports devices with a registered device
description (DD) file compatible with HART Communication Foundation (HCF)
requirements.
MC Toolkit (application). This application is used for configuring, calibrating,
monitoring, and diagnosing Honeywell Digitally Enhanced (DE) devices. Honeywell
SmartLine Level transmitters do not support the DE protocol at present.
Details for working with the MC Toolkit are provided in the MC Toolkit User Manual, Document #
34-ST-25-50. In subsequent sections of this manual, explicit operating instructions are provided
only in so far as necessary to complete required tasks and procedures.

Page 4 SLG 700 Series HART Option User’s Manual Revision 5
2.1.4 Configuration Databases
The MC Toolkit is used to establish and/or change selected operating parameters in a Transmitter
database.
2.1.5 Configuration
Configuration can be accomplished both online and offline with the Transmitter powered up and
connected to the MC Toolkit. Online configuration immediately changes the Transmitter operating
parameters. For Offline configuration, Offline files created using Honeywell FDM Tool can be
imported into FDC application and then can be downloaded to the Transmitter.
When you set up or configure a Transmitter, it can take up to 30 seconds for the
value to be stored in it. If you change a value and Transmitter power is interrupted before
the change is copied to nonvolatile memory, the changed value will not be moved to
nonvolatile memory.
2.1.6 MC Toolkit–Transmitter Electrical/Signal Connections
Resistor values apply to SLG 700 Level transmitters only. Refer to SLG 700 Transmitter User’s
manal, #34-SL-25-11, for acceptable power supply and RL ranges.

Revision 5 SLG 700 Series HART Option User’s Manual Page 5
3 HART Transmitter Configuration
3.1 Using the Field Device Communicator (FDC)
Each new SLG 700 Level Transmitter configured for HART protocol is shipped from the factory
configured as ordered to meet customer requirements. No reconfiguring should be necessary,
however if changes are desired then this section assumes that the user will use the Field Device
Communicator (FDC) application for HART configuration tasks. The FDC application provides the
facilities for the online and offline configuration of Transmitters operating with HART protocol.
Online configuration requires that the Transmitter and MC Toolkit are connected and
communication between the two has been established. Online configuration provides a set of
functions with which to perform various operations on a HART communication network through an
active communication link. These operations primarily include configuration, calibration,
monitoring, and diagnostics. Typically, these operations could be realized through various
constructs exposed by the Device Description (DD) file. In addition, the FDC application provides
some functions for convenient execution of these functions.
Offline Configuration refers to configuring a device when the device is not physically present or
communicating with the application. This process enables the user to create and save a
configuration for a device, even when the device is not there physically. Later when the device
becomes available with live communication, the same configuration can be downloaded to the
device. This feature enables the user to save on device commissioning time and even helps the
user to replicate the configuration in multiplicity of devices with lesser efforts. Currently, FDC does
not support creating offline configuration. However, it supports importing of offline configuration
from FDM R310 or later versions. The configurations thus imported can be downloaded to the
device from FDC.
The following are the tasks that the user needs to perform for importing offline configuration in
FDC application software and then downloading it to the device.
Create offline configuration template in FDM
Save the configuration in FDM in FDM format.
Import the offline configuration in FDC
Download the offline configuration to the device
Note: For details on creating and using offline configuration, refer to section Offline configuration
in FDM User’s Guide.
3.1.1 Personnel Requirements
The information and procedures in this section are based on the assumption that the person
accomplishing configuration tasks is fully qualified and knowledgeable on the use of the MC
Toolkit and is intimately familiar with the SLG 700 family of SmartLine Level Transmitters.
Therefore, detailed procedures are supplied only in so far as necessary to ensure satisfactory
configuration.

3.2.1 Settings
Use this feature to customize FDC. The user can customize FDC for device detection, DD
selection, and other application settings.
Device Identification
Use the following options to configure FDC to identify a device.
Using Poll Address
Use poll address 0 only: Use this to detect a device with the poll address as
zero.
Find first poll address and use: Use this to detect a device with the first
available poll address in the range of poll addresses that are available.
Use selected poll address: Use this to detect a device with a specific poll
address in the range of zero to 63.
Use From: Use this to detect a device based on a range of poll addresses.
Using Device TAG: Use this to detect a device with a known HART tag.
Using Device LONG TAG: Use this to detect a device with a known HART long tag
(applicable for devices with HART 6 or later Universal revisions).
Note: If the user chooses the Using Device TAG or Using Device LONG TAG, the FDC prompts
the user to enter a device tag/long tag name during device detection.
DD selection
Use the following options to configure FDC to select DD files when a DD with
matching device revision is not available.
Use DD file of previous device revision: Use this option to automatically
communicate using a DD file having device revision lower than that of the
device.
Use generic DD file: Use this option to automatically communicate to the
device using an appropriate generic DD file.
Always ask user: Use this option to always prompt the user with a choice for
communicating to the device either using the previous device revision or using
a generic DD file.
Always Use Generic: Use this option to always communicate to the device
using generic DD files even if a DD file with matching device revision as the
device is present.
Note: A generic DD file is a DD file that provides access and interface to the universal data
and features of a HART device.
Other settings
Low storage notification: Use this option to set a percentage value and to notify the user with a
warning message when the available storage card space is less than the percentage set.
Application diagnostics: Use this option to enable or disable the logging infrastructure for
application diagnostics. With this option enabled, FDC creates necessary log files for
troubleshooting and diagnostics. These files are stored in SD Card\FDC folder.
Note: The user must not enable this option unless suggested by Honeywell TAC because this may
impact the application performance.

Page 8 SLG 700 Series HART Option User’s Manual Revision 5
3.2.2 Manage DDs
Using this feature, the user can manage the DD files installed with FDC. A DD file contains
descriptive information about the functionality of a device. By default, a set of DD files are installed
with FDC. However, if you do not have a DD for a given device, the user can install it using the
“Add DD” feature. Similarly, the user can uninstall a DD file or a set of DD files using “Delete DD”
feature. The user can also directly copy the DD files in appropriate hierarchy using a card reader
or “Active Sync/Mobile Device Center” mechanisms. In such a case, the user should validate the
library view using the “Refresh” feature.
Overview
Using Manage DDs, the user can view, add, or delete DD files for devices. A list of already
available DD files is maintained in the DD Library. FDC lists the installed DD files in a hierarchy as
below:
Manufacturer
Device Type
DevRev xx, DDRev yy
DevRev pp, DDRev qq
Add a DD file
To add a DD file for a device, perform the following steps.
1. From the FDC homepage, tap Manage DDs > Select.
The Manage DDs dialog box appears.
2. Tap Options > Add DD.
Or

3.2.3 Online configuration
Using online configuration, you can configure, calibrate, monitor and diagnose a HART device
which is connected to MC Toolkit. FDC provides the features to perform these functions through
the various constructs offered through the DD file of the device. Besides there are certain other
features available under this link for you to conveniently work with a HART device with live
communication. After making changes to the device the user can also save a snapshot of the
device data as history to later transfer it to FDM for record and audit purposes.

3.2.4 Offline configuration
Offline configuration refers to configuring a device offline (without physically connecting to the
device) using a template and then downloading the configuration to the device. Presently, FDC
application software does not support creating offline configuration. However, it supports importing
of offline configuration from FDM (R310 and above).
3.2.5 Online Configuration Overview
Online Configuration option provides the user a set of functions with which they can perform
various operations on a device with an active communication link. These operations primarily
include configuration, calibration, monitoring, and diagnostics of a HART device. Typically, these
operations could be realized through various constructs exposed by the DD file of the device. In
addition, FDC also provides some additional application functions for the user to perform these
functions more conveniently.
Online configuration includes a set of functions to perform various operations on a Transmitter with
active communication link. These operations primarily include:
