Installation and Setup
To make the software connection from ProLink II to your transmitter.
1. Ensure that your PC is connected to the transmitter, according to one of the methods described
in Section 2.2.5.
2. Start ProLink II software.
3. From the
Connection menu, click on Connect to Device.
4. Specify connection parameters:
•Use the
Protocol parameter to specify your connection type. For HART/Bell 202
connections using the VIATOR USB HART Interface, enable
Converter Toggles RTS.
•Set
Serial Port to the PC COM port you are using to connect to the transmitter.
• If you are making a service port or HART/Bell 202 connection, default values are used for
all remaining connection parameters.
• If you are connecting to MVD Direct Connect, set the remaining connection parameters to
any of the supported settings listed in Table 2-13.
• For all other connection types:
- For Model 2400S transmitters, set the address to the Modbus address configured for
your transmitter.
Note: Due to the transmitter’s auto-detection feature, other connection parameters are not required.
- For all other transmitters, set the remaining connection parameters to the values
configured in your transmitter.
