Figure 1
• Ruggedized version- Environmentally hardened with no approvals.
• Zone 1 approvals: Intrinsically-safe version available with FM Class I, Div 1/Zone 1 approvals, ATEX and IECEx Zone 1 approvals.
- Fully supports all HART 5.X, HART6.X and wired HART7.X. Commands and utilizes DD-IDE/SDC 625 technology and “Open” Tools standard.
2.Benefits
- Supports transmitter diagnostic and on-line monitoring as well as transmitter calibration.
- Standardizes both HART and DE field instrument configuration with one hand-held device. Configuration of common, universal and specific device
commands is supported.
- User interface provides detailed explanations and sub-menus during the configuration process for ease of operation for even the casual user.
Benefits (continued)
- Supports communication with HART devices when the operator is performing the following functions:
• Initial device configuration
• Starting a method
• Changing a configuration parameter
• Determining the actual “state” or process variable of a particular device
• Activating a device’s internal diagnostic functions.
- Avoid obsolescence issues when vendors publish new DD files
• Download new device descriptions from the HART website.
• Acquire the latest DD releases from the manufacture’s website including device descriptions not available from HART.
• Honeywell FDC 2.X Application comes with built in DD manager which allows easy addition and deletion of DDs. FDC 2.X also supports IEC 61804-3
EDDL Standards.
• Honeywell FDC 2.X Application has the facility to create custom views for easier and quicker access to device information.
• Improved DD selection mechanism enables the following configuration options when the proper DD is missing Use Generic DD ;Use previous version
of DD or Always prompt the user
- Incorporates data reasonability checks. Under given conditions, the MC Toolkit configurator will not accept configurations beyond device ranges
reducing the likelihood of costly mistakes.
- FDC 2.X application in the MCT404 release 4.2.X allows the user to capture one snapshot of the connected device’s configuration history. This history
can be imported in to the FDM database.Available with FDM Release 301.1.1 and later.
Benefits:
• Comprehensive Device database of all the on line and offline devices with FDM.
• Ability to Schedule Device calibration.
• FDC 2.X Application allows the user to import the device configuration parameters from FDM (Field Device Manager).
3.Description
The Honeywell MC Toolkit Configurator is a portable computer based engineering and maintenance tool used to configure, monitor, diagnose and manage smart field instruments/devices. Designed specifically for ease-of-use and increased productivity, this multipurpose tool supports both HART and
Honeywell’s Digitally Enhanced (DE) communication protocols. The MC Toolkit allows easy access to instrument configuration database parameters without the need for prior training, user manuals or previous experience. Each MC Toolkit comes loaded with all registered HART Device Description (DD) files and may be supplemented with non-published DD files at any time – so any HART new device can be configured as long as a DD can be downloaded. New DD files are easily downloaded and installed using ActiveSync/Mobile Device Center software and the USB cable provided.
The MC Toolkit Configurator is loaded with two
software applications:
1. The MC Toolkit software configures Honeywell DE devices
2. The FDC 2.X software configures universal HART devices
The combination of these two applications enables true “Universal” configuration of HART devices and Honeywell DE devices. The MCT404 is rated intrinsically safe for Zones 1 for FM C, ATEX and IECEx.
