1 Introduction

The purpose of this document is to support the plant operators with commissioning, opera-
tion, configuration and diagnosis of the XNXTM Universal Transmitter HART. The XNX is a
universal gas analyser transmitter utilizing the full range of toxic and flammable gas sensing
technologies - including catalytic bead, electrochemical and infrared. It supports the widest
range of sensors on a common platform and offers a modular choice of inputs and outputs
(saving customers time and money).

The XNX HART device can be configured and operated by a DTM (Device Type Manager)
that provides an easy to use user interface for accessing device variables, configuration pa-
rameters and diagnosis information.

The XNX HART Device Type Manager offers the combination of FDT and EDDL technolo-
gies and a uniform user interface according to the FDT style guide. It is a full-featured device
DTM that carries the standard EDD-Interpreter components to execute the EDD during
runtime. Because it is using existing device descriptions, plant operators will experience a
familiar operating concept in the DTM.

3.4 Create a project

Starting point for the adjustment of all types of field devices is the partial or complete imag-
ing of the device network in a PACTware project. This device network can be created auto-
matically or manually and is displayed in the project window.

Even when instruments that are to be parameterised are not yet available or connected, the
project can be created manually (offline operation). The DTM installed on the PC is dis-
played in the device catalog. The DTM usually has the same name as the instrument that
can be adjusted with it.

To create a project in the project window, paste in the DTMs from the instrument catalog -
one DTM for each actually used instrument. The entry HOST-PC is the starting point for
pasting in the DTMs. The requested DTM can be brought over from the instrument catalog
to the project window with a double click or Drag and Drop. In the project window you can
change the names of the selected instruments for better differentiation. If the project window
or the instrument catalog is not visible, they can be activated in the menu bar under "View ".

5 Offline parameterization

In offline mode, the project can be prepared, created and stored without connected instru-
ments. Later on, in online mode these data can be transmitted to the instruments ready for
operation.

The following pages describe the steps to offline parameterize a XNX device with the DTM.
At this time it is presupposed that the DTM installation (§ 2.4) was already done.

In order to get started this function just right-click on device name in the project view on the
left-hand side and select “Parameter” then “Parameterization”:

Offline configuration is the ability to manipulate device parameters without the presence of a
physically connected device (commissioning, device exchange, device data set archiving).
Offline parameters are stored by the FDT frame.

The offline parameterization provides a selection of features which can be found also in the
online parameterization:

 Password (enter the password provided by Honeywell Analytics)

 Board type
 Sensor type (type of measurement application the device is intended to be used with)
 Gas concentration (the gas concentration is displayed in this space)
 Conc unit (the concentration units are displayed in this space)
 mV sensor type
 Gas name (the target gas)
 Alarm thresholds 1 (lower limit, Alarm 1 set point)
 Alarm thresholds 2 (upper limit, Alarm 2 set point)
