2600T Series Pressure transmitters |

OI/266/HART-EN Rev. D 59

For additional information, refer to the operating instructions included with the handheld terminal.
If the transmitter has been configured in the factory according to customer specifications for the measuring point, all you have to
do is mount the transmitter as prescribed (to correct potential zero shifts, refer to the section “Correcting the zero shift”), and
switch it on. The measuring point will now be ready for use.
If, however, you wish to make changes to the configuration, a handheld terminal or - preferably - a graphical user interface (DTM)
is required. This DTM tool renders the device fully configurable. It supports both the HART protocol and PROFIBUS PA fieldbus
protocol, and can be run on a PC or laptop, or as part of an automation system. Where FOUNDATION Fieldbus is concerned, the
device description (DD), which can be loaded onto various configuration tools, is required for configuration purposes.
Refer to the installation manual provided with the software for the steps required to install the operating tool. The most important
parameters can be set via the path “Parametrize_Differential Pressure Measurement”.
The program offers the option of configuring, polling, and testing the transmitter.
In addition, offline configuration can be performed by means of an internal database.
Each configuration step is subject to a plausibility check. You can call up context-sensitive help at any time by pressing the “F1”
key. Immediately after you have received the transmitter or before you change the configuration, we recommend that you save the
existing configuration data to a separate data storage medium, via the path “File_Save”.

Configuration with the graphical user interface (DTM)
System requirements

– Operating control program (e.g., ABB Asset Vision Basic version 1.00.17 or higher)
– DTM (Device Type Manager; graphical user interface)
– Operating system (depending on the respective control program)
To operate the Asset Vision Basic please refer to the relevant operating instruction.

Error messages

LCD Display

The LCD HMI in case of transmitter errors or malfunctioning is capable of displaying specific error/fault messages to help the user
in identifying the problem and resolve it.
In case of an alarm, a message consisting of an icon and text appears at the bottom of the process display. Use the (1) key to call
up the information level. Use the “Diagnostics” menu to call up the error description with a help text.
In the error description, the error number is displayed in the second line (M028.018). Two further lines are used to describe the
error. The device status is divided into four groups.
