Quick Start Guide

The following steps will allow you to quickly begin using your HART Communicator (HARTCOM-W2). This quick start

guide is for experienced HART users, full instructions are provided later in this manual for non-experienced users.

Step 1: Turn on the HART Communicator

Press and hold for 4 seconds the power button (top left corner of the tablet). The tablet will boot up Windows.

Step 2: For wired HART devices (skip this step for HART-IP and WirelessHART devices)

a) Connect the Bluetooth HART Modem to the HART device/network

For communication with wired (4-20mA based) HART devices you must have a suitable load resistance, or a 250Ω

Shunt/Loop resistor (supplied) must be placed in series with the device. Using the clips of the HART Modem connect

either: across the loop load resistor (A –B), or across the HART transmitter terminals (C –D). See the relevant Figure

1a, 1b or 1c below.

b) Turn on the Bluetooth HART Modem (BT-BAT-ER) to your PC

Press the Yellow “Power” button, the “Power” LED will illuminate.

Step 3: Open the HART Communicator software “DevCom2000”

On the HART Communicator Windows Tablet touchscreen, single tap on the HART Communicator Icon

“DevCom2000” as pictured below. Windows will then ask you if you want to allow this program to run, say yes.

Step 4: Discovering connected HART Device(s)

a) For wired (4-20mA) HART devices connected via the Bluetooth HART Modem

When the HART Communicator software (DevCom2000) is opened, by default, it will automatically check for HART

devices of address 0 connected to the Bluetooth HART Modem, if found it will display the “Explorer” window (go to

Step5). If you have previously told it to connect to HART-IP / WirelessHART devices, or if you want to check for

devices other than address 0, you will need to change the option within the HART Communicator software

(DevCom2000). Go to “Options →Basic” and make sure “Use TCP/IP…” checkbox isn’t selected, see screenshot

below.

Then click on the “Search By” Tab and select the desired option (see screenshot below) and then press OK.

b) For HART-IP or WirelessHART devices

First you must configure the Tablets WiFi connection and connect to your networks Access Point (AP). Now we must

configure the HART Communicator software (DevCom2000) to connect to a HART-IP / WirelessHART device instead

of the default wired 4-20mA based HART device connected to the Bluetooth HART Modem. From the HART

Communicator software (DevCom2000) menu select “Options →Basic” and tick the option “Use TCP/IP…” and set

the IP address and port number (it is typically 5094) of the HART-IP device (Remote I/O, Multiplexer, WirelessHART

Gateway), see screenshots above. If your WirelessHART gateway does not use the default address of 0, or if you only

know its URL, click the “Advanced” tab. You can now enter the URL and/or change the Gateway HART address, see

the screenshot below. Press “Save” and then “OK”.

c) For HART Server

If you are using HART Server, from the HART Communicator software (DevCom2000) menu select “Options →Basic”

and tick the option “Use HART Server with….”, see screenshot below, press OK. You must then restart the

DevCom2000 software for the change to be effective.

Step 5: Reviewing / configuring HART devices

You are now able to browse/configure/audit/etc the discovered HART device(s) as detailed in this user manual. In

summary, DevCom2000 will open the “Explorer” window when it discovers a connected HART device, see the

screenshot below.

The organization of the data in this explorer-style window is dictated by the device DD. The left hand tree-pane of

this window shows the logical groups of field device data. These are called "Menus". The right hand data-pane

shows the data, any sub-groups and any standard operating procedures found on a given menu.

You can browse through the field device data by expanding (click "+" symbol) or collapsing (click the "-" symbol) the

menus in the tree-pane. You can also double-click the folder symbol when seen on the data-pane, e.g. in the

screenshot below we have selected the “Overview” sub-group.

Step 6: Modifying the HART Device's Configuration

The “Explorer” window allows access to all of the data exactly as described by the product's manufacturer’s DD.

When you find elements of the field device's configuration you want to change, simply double-click and edit the

data. Once you have changed the configuration to suit your needs, press the Send icon to commit the data and

transfer it to the field device.

Step 7: Performing Maintenance and Testing the HART Device

Many devices perform Methods or Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that may need to be performed to ensure

the device is in peak condition. These Methods may include calibrating the loop current, trimming the transducer

values or performing some diagnostic test on the field device. Methods appear in the data-pane just like data does.

click on the Method and it will start running in a separate window. The Method will guide you through the process

ensuring the procedure is completely and consistently performed. When the Method is complete the window will

disappear.

Step 8: Exit

When you are through working on the field device simply exit DevCom2000. Once the program exits, you can then

turn off the Bluetooth HART Modem, and turn off the HART Communicator Windows Tablet by shutting down

Windows 10 in the normal way.

This is the end of the quick start guide, the rest of this manual describes in detail the use of the HART Communicator

Software and Bluetooth HART Modem. If you have any questions please do contact HART Expert Ltd, advice and

support is free.

1 INTRODUCTION

This HART Communicator Windows Tablet (HARTCOM-W2) allows access to and management of HART devices. This

manual provides the information about the Hardware setup, communication with HART devices, and functions of

our HART Communicator software (DevCom2000).

DevCom2000 uses Device Description files (DDs) to access data stored in the memory of the HART field device.

DevCom2000 is unique in that it uses the DD of the connected device to determine what information to display,

what variables are available for edit, and what procedures to follow for calibration, setup, and maintenance.

These DDs are developed by device manufacturers for their products and, in turn, distributed by the HART®

Communication Foundation (HCF) worldwide. The latest DDs are included with HARTCOM-W2 and you are

automatically sent new DD releases for the first year. At any time (e.g. after the automatic updates have ceased) you

can download new DD files from the HCF website (www.hartcomm.org).
