2.4 Intended use

The KFD-HMM-16(referred to as "Multiplexer Master" or "Multiplexer" in the
following sections) and the KFD0-HMS-16 (referred to as "Multiplexer Slave" or
"Multiplexer" in the following sections) provides full HART access to up to 256 field
devices and hence operation with the conventional 4 mA ... 20 mA current loops. It
thus acts as a transparent gateway between the service station (PC or PCS (Process
Control System) and the transmitters.
The Multiplexer can be used within zone 2 hazardous areas or in the safe area.
Power is provided by a 24 V (nominal voltage) DC power supply. Connection to the
PCS or PC is via an RS 485 interface.
It should be stressed that the Multiplexer is approved for use in zone 2 and
therefore may not be used in zone 0 or 1 hazardous areas. If the equipment is used
in conjunction with intrinsically safe or associated apparatus, then this use must
take place in front of the Ex-barrier (e. g. transmitter power supply device).

Note
3.1.3 Description of the hardware

The HART Multiplexer can operate up to 256 analog transmitters. The built-in Slave
unit operates the first 16 loops, and a maximum of a further 15 KFD0-HMS-16 Slaves
can be connected.
The external connections are shown in Figure 3.1 and Figure 3.2.
The power supply (24 V DC nominal voltage) is provided via the Power Rail or
terminals 17 and 18. The optional Slave units (KFD0-HMS-16) or the RPI control
module (KSD2-HC) are connected with the Master via a 14-core flat cable
(K-HM14). Its connector is placed on the same housing side as the terminals for the
RS 485 interface and the voltage supply. The analog signals for each unit are
connected separately via a 26-core cable. 16 leads are provided for the HART
signals of the analog instrument circuits, the other 10 are connected to ground. The
minimum load resistance of the analog instrument circuits is 230 Ω (min. load
resistance in accordance with the HART specification), the max. load resistance is
500 Ω. Load resistances of up to 1000 Ω are possible, however, resistance values
greater than 500 Ω can interfere with the HART communication. The connector for
202598
these connections is located on the top of the housing. A process control system or a
PC can be connected via a RS 485 interface (terminals 13, 14 and 15). Up to 31
KFD2-HMM-16 can be operated on one RS 485 interface. Terminals 19, 20 and 21

can be used to connect additional stations to the RS 485 interface. The DIP switch
on the housing front is for the setting of the RS 485 address and the baud rate.

3.1.4 Galvanic isolation

he voltage supply, the analog signals and the RS 485 interface are galvanically
separated. This galvanic isolation is achieved through the use of transformers and
opto couplers.
For the direct current components, the individual HART channels are isolated by
means of two capacitors. Thus the 4 mA ... 20 mA signal is not affected.
The connected current repeaters are galvanically interconnected unilaterally
through the common ground connection of the analog signals.
If the galvanic isolation is to be properly maintained, the individual ground cables
Attention must be isolated by capacitors. Suitable Fl and MB boards can be supplied by
Pepperl+Fuchs for this purpose.
Notwithstanding the common ground connection of the analog signals from the
Masters/Slaves, the galvanic isolation of the current repeaters is secured if
• FI and MB boards are used, which are fitted with capacitors.
• KFD2-STC4-Ex1 or KFD2-STC4-Ex2 Ex isolation modules are used as current
repeaters.
3.1.5 All the functions at a glance

The following list gives all the functions once again at a glance:
• 16 channels, extendable to 256 channels by the connection of up to

3.2 Description of the HART communication

The HART protocol (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) is supported by
many conventional 4 mA ... 20 mA field devices, which thus enable digital
communication for configuration and servicing purposes. Many device parameters
and also the measured values themselves can thus be digitally transferred to and
from the device. This digital communication runs in parallel with the 4 mA ... 20 mA
signal on the same cable. This is possible through a current modulation, which is
superimposed on the user signal.

Time (seconds)
Figure 3.3 The modulated HART signal
HART is a Master-Slave protocol: a field device does only respond when requested
(except in "Burst mode"). The message duration is several hundred milliseconds, so
that between two and three messages can be transferred per second.
On HART, there are three groups of commands:
• The Universal commands; these must be supported by all field devices,
• the Common practice commands; these are pre-defined commands, suitable for
many field devices, which, if they are supported by the device, must be
implemented in the pre-defined form,
• device-specific commands; these are commands, which are particularly suitable
for this field device.
The HART Multiplexer contains commands in all three groups. Details of the
supported commands are given in section 9.1.

3.3 System construction

3.3.1 System description
In process engineering plants, there are many field devices distributed over a large
area. The characteristic values of these field devices must be monitored, for
example, in the context of ISO 9000 and recorded and adapted to changes in
process parameters.
The HART Multiplex System from Pepperl+Fuchs enables on-line communication
between a PC and "smart" field devices that support the HART protocol.
SMART transmitters and intelligent valve positioners enable information such as
measurement range and tag number to be stored in the field device itself. Access to
these data is usually obtained using a handheld terminal. This means, that when
changes to information are required, connection to the field device must be carried
out "by hand".
When specific data has to be recorded in the context of quality assurance - in
accordance with ISO 9000 - this means that there is an increased demand on the
process control system or the DCS. For example, the data has to be cyclically
interrogated and then stored by the system in a database.
The HART Multiplex System from Pepperl+Fuchs provides the coupling between the
PC and the intelligent "HART capable" field devices. All access to the field device
takes place in parallel with the transfer of the 4 mA ... 20 mA measuring signal and
therefore has no affect on the processing of measured values by the process control
system.
The system thus provides a subordinate service interface. It is also possible to obtain
measured values through the HART Multiplex System. On field devices, which are
installed in hazardous areas, the coupling takes place on the safe area side of the
current repeaters.
Pepperl+Fuchs can supply the appropriate SMART transmitter power supplies
(e. g. KFD2-STC4-**) and SMART repeater (e. g. KFD2-STV4-**). Similarly, the
HART Multiplex System can also be connected to other SMART Ex-isolation stages.
This means that existing systems can be expanded very easily, thus taking full
advantage of the HART communication system.
The system comprises a max. of 31 HART Multiplexer Masters, which are connected
to the PC via a RS 485 interface. Each HART Multiplexer Master can control up to 15
HART Multiplexer Slaves. Each Multiplexer, irrespective of Master or Slave, can
connect up to 16 transmitters.
Thus one PC can be used to address up to 7936 field devices for the exchange of
data. Operation using a handheld terminal also remains possible, since the HART
protocol accepts two Masters in one system, i. e. PC and handheld terminal.
3.3.2 Service station

Besides the control system a PC is frequently used as the service station, with which
the parameter functions or data logging functions can be carried out. Operating
programs for the PC are available from various manufacturers (see section 3.3.3) to
provide the necessary back-up for this purpose.
However, in some cases the communication is provided by a process control system
via a RS 485 interface direct (via the HART Multiplexer) to the field devices without a
connected service station. But the low speed of the HART communication imposes
limitations on this method of operation.

3.3.3 Integration in the operating software (Asset Management Systems)

The full potential of the HART Multiplexer System is realized through integration in
modern Asset Management Systems such as PACTwareTM (open source), SIMATIC
PDM (Siemens), AMS (Fisher-Rousemount), Cornerstone (Applied System
Technologies) and Valve Manager (Neles Automation). These operating tools
combine the device functions of the Multiplexer in the form of menu commands in a
unified interface providing a very convenient method of operation. The presentation
and description of the functions in the individual operating tools can be very different,
however; thus a generally applicable presentation is not possible here.
Information on the configuration, parameter assignment, operation and diagnostics
options of the Multiplexer is provided in the documentation accompanying the
various operating tools.

3.3.4 System construction

The wiring of the single I/O components of the HART product portfolio is done via a
Termination Board. Since a wide variety of Termination Boards is available, only the
basic wiring options should be described here.
Field devices and DCS are connected via Termination Boards in every case. More
detailed information to connection layout can be found in the data sheet of the
according Termination Board
Note
External assembly Multiplexer Master and Slaves are installed on Flex Interfaces, which transmits the
signals via screw terminals. In this case the Termination Board provides the
connection to the Multiplexer parallel or serial. This assembly method is completely
independent of DCS and eventually used field barriers.

3.3.5 HART Multiplexer Slave

The HART Multiplexer Slave is supplied from the HART Multiplexer Master via the
14-core flat cable. The contacting of the flat cable is provided via IDC connectors, so
that the cable can be tapped at any position. By this means, the power supply and
data cables are looped on from station to station. The address 1 ... 15 is set via a 16-
step rotary switch. Address 0 is reserved for the Multiplexer Master and must
therefore not be used. If a number of Slaves are operated on the KFD2-HMM-16,
different addresses must be assigned. The sequence therefore plays no role in this.
The analog signals are fed via a 26 core flat cable into the KFD0-HMS-16. 16 of
these are intended for the HART signal of the analog instrument circuit (the
remaining 10 are to ground) (for the assignment, see section 9.2).
The minimum load resistance of the analog measuring circuit is 230 Ω (minimum load
impedance in accordance with HART specification), the maximum resistive load
being 500 Ω. Load resistances of up to 1000 Ω are possible, however, resistance
values greater than 500 Ω can interfere with the HART communication.

Slave connection HART Multiplexer Masters and Slaves must be connected together via a separate K-
HM14 flat cable.
The length of cable required should be stated when ordering. Hence the wiring of the
HART Multiplexer is significantly simplified and the danger of wiring faults is
excluded.
3.3.6 Operation
The Multiplexer also functions as a HART device (see also section 5.4.5). However,
due to the incorporation into the operating software of the service station (see
section 3.3.3), this remains concealed from the user. The HART commands that are
supported by the Multiplexer can be found in section 9.1.
202598
For HART communication with the transmitters, the commands of the service station
are passed through without modifications.

4.1 Mounting
The K-System allows three different types of mounting:
1. wall or panel mounting
2. mounting on 35 mm DIN EN 60715 mounting rail
– TH 35-7.5 (installation height 7.5 mm)
– TH 35-15 (installation height 15 mm, material thickness 1.5 mm)
3. mounting on 35 mm DIN rail with a Power Rail insert
Wall or panel mounting Panel mounting is only recommended when a very small number of isolation
components must be installed.
 Mounting the device on the wall.

 Pull the two clip fasteners out of the back of the device until the clips audibly click
into place.
 Fasten the device to the wall or panel with 3 mm screws.
 The device is mounted
Mounting on When mounting on DIN rail, the device is simply snapped into place.

Installation
Mounting on DIN rail with The Power Rail UPR-03-* is an insert for a DIN rail which Pepperl+Fuchs has
Power Rail developed for this application.
The Power Rail provides two leads for power supply of the modules and one lead for
centralized error messages. The devices of the K-System are supplied with power
through these two leads.

DIN mounting rail
Standard devices of types KFD2-... and KCD2-... have gold-plated contacts to

connect to the power supply rails of the Power Rail. By snapping it onto the DIN rail,
the device automatically receives power. Thus separate wiring of the power supply is
eliminated. An included cover provides for the mechanical and electrical protection
of unused spaces. Furthermore, any reserved spaces are automatically connected to
the power supply.
Third-party devices which can be mounted on a DIN EN 60715 mounting rail can
easily be mounted on the Power Rail as well. Mixed devices from different device
manufacturers are thus possible.

When supplying power via the Power Rail, the wiring effort is greatly reduced.
Moreover, there is the option of the centralized error message and redundant power
supply. Failure of the power supply is indicated through the message contact of the
202598
power supply component.

Note
18
Installation
As shown in the figure, the isolation modules are snapped onto the Universal Power
Rail in a vertical downward movement.
CORRECT: Device snapped on vertically. INCORRECT: Device snapped on from the side.
Power supply via There are two power supply concepts for supply via the Power Rail:

Power supply 1 Power supply 2
Redundant supply of the Power Rail with two power supply modules offers increased
availability of device power. In this construction, not only the power supply is
redundant, but also the fuse and the feed points on the Power Rail are provided
twice. If one of the two mains fails, the second supply ensures continued operation of
the system free of interruption. The malfunctioning power module indicates the error
over a potential-free contact.
In conjunction with Power Rail the power supply to the interface modules is only
202598
permissible via a power feed module!

Attention
19
Installation
Collective error message The collective error message enables lead breakage monitoring to be provided for
via Power Rail many isolator modules without additional wiring costs. In fault conditions, an interrupt
signal from the isolator module (i. e. KFD2-SR2.Ex2.2S) is transferred to the Power
Rail. The power supply module evaluates the signal and passes the fault information
to the PLC/control system using a potential-free contact.

4.2 Electrical connection

4.2.1 General notes for connection
Work on live installations and electrical connections must only be carried out by
appropriately trained personnel.
When connecting the RS 485, reference should be made to the instructions in
Warning section 4.2.2.
4.2.2 Connection and connection assignment of RS 485

Connector assignment of the removable terminals:
Terminal Description Meaning

13, 19 Screen Cable screening
14, 20 RxD/TxD - (RS 485 A-) RS 485 differential signal
15, 21 RxD/TxD + (RS 485 B+)
If the screen is grounded, the grounding should only be connected to one end of the
cable, in order to avoid equipotential bonding currents. However, in all cases,
existing guidelines and regulations must be observed.
Note
To connect a standard PC with a RS 232 interface an interface converter RS 485 to

RS 232 is required. A converter that has been tested and recommended by
Pepperl+Fuchs is manufactured by Telebyte (Telebyte Model No. 285). This can be
202598
obtained from Pepperl+Fuchs under the part number "Telebyte Model 285M“.
Attention
20
Installation
In accordance with the RS 485 specification up to 32 stations ("multidrop") can be

connected to a up to 1200 m cable (for data rates less than 100 kBaud).
Pepperl+Fuchs recommends that this length of cable is not exceeded. Even though
problems seldom occur at these data rates, screened twisted two-wire cabling
should be used.
In addition a terminating resistor should be connected to each end of the RS 485
cable. If the Multiplexer Master is such a device, i. e. the RS 485 cable ends here and
is not routed to other devices, then the second available connection terminal for the
RS 485 can be used for the connection of a terminating resistance. The terminating
resistor terminates the cables with its characteristic impedance. At minimal baud
rates and with short lengths of cable, in practice quite often no terminating resistors
are used. If communication errors arise, or if these are to be positively excluded from
the outset, terminating resistors typically of 120 Ω ... 220 Ω should be used.
If an interface converter is used, a terminating resistor should be connected to the

converter and another to the other end of the cable.
Note
4.2.3 Cabling for the analog signals

The individual I/O components of the HART product family are connected by a single
26-pin system plug connector for the connection of the individual current repeaters
(for plug pin assignment see section 9.2).
Pepperl+Fuchs provide specially developed connector units (HART interfaces type
FI-***) for this purpose. As required, the connection to these units can be via a
system cable or even by means of conventional screw connections. If the current
repeaters are mounted on a motherboard (MB-***), the connection is made directly
from the board to the Multiplexer via a flat cable type K-HM26.
The control system is connected via a system specific connector of the motherboard
or the Flex-interface. Flex-interfaces with screw terminals are available for the
purpose of individual wiring.
4.2.4 Location of electrical connections

The power supply (24 V DC nominal voltage) is provided via the Power Rail or
terminals 17 (+) and 18 (-). The device is protected against reverse polarity by
means of a protection diode.
The connection of a higher level control unit (PLC, PC) is achieved via an RS 485
interface on terminals 13, 14 and 15. The RS 485 bus is looped through to terminals
19, 20 and 21. In this way, the three terminals can be used alternatively, or
simultaneously, (for the connection of other devices with RS 485, or for the
connection of a terminating resistor). If a standard PC with an RS 232 interface is to
be used, an interface converter is required.
The connection of the KFDO-HMS-16 HART Multiplexer Slaves is via the 14 pin plug
connector on the side of the device.
The analog HART signals are connected to the current repeaters via the 26 pin plug
connector on the front of the device.
4.2.5 Note on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

The device is intended for use in electrically conductive and earthed control
202598
cabinets. Leads that are fed into the control cabinet should be screened and the
screen should be connected with the control cabinet at the point of entry, preferably
directly in the cable gland. Unscreened leads in the control cabinet (e. g. power
supply leads) should be fed via filters.

Commissioning
5 Commissioning
5.1 Commissioning check list
The commissioning of the Multiplexer Master is summarized in the following check
list. You should follow the list through in sequence, actions that have already been
carried out can be skipped. The steps required for commissioning the Multiplexer
refer to the section in which the respective procedure is described in detail.
The usual commissioning procedure is as follows:
Installation
• Installation of the field devices
• Selection and connection of Motherboard and Flex Interface (see also
section 3.3.4)
• Selection and connection of the isolating modules
• Connection of the process control system
• Connection of the Multiplexer Master (see section 3.3.4)
• Connection of the service station. If necessary, install the interface converters.
Set up the RS 485 address and set the baud rate (see section 5.4.2)
Caution: Note the polarity of the RS 485 connection (see section 4.2.1).
The device must be disconnected briefly from the power supply in order to accept
the values set on the DIP switches.
Note
Operation
• Wait for the start-up sequence to finish (see section 5.4.4)
• Start the parameter assignment (see section 5.4.5), in particular, establish the
position of the Multiplexers that are being used in the module table (see
section 7.1.2)
• Carry out the loop construction (REBUILD, see section 7.1.5)
• Activate the SCAN function, if required (see section 7.1.7)
5.2 Data access to the connected transmitters

The way in which data access to the connected field devices can take place depends
on the operator tool that is being used.
In general, however, the field devices are to be found in a project tree under the
HART Multiplexer Slaves (the Master integrates the Slave unit on Slave address 0),
where device data, parameters and diagnostics can be accessed via menu
functions. The construction of a project tree is decribed in section 6.6.3.
The data, parameters and diagnostic windows accommodate data for the underlying
HART commands, which differ considerably, depending on the field device.
Only the Universal commands and general response codes have the same functions
on all devices, so that information relating to the devices themselves, as well as the
process values and several items of diagnostic information can be represented in a
consistent manner.

5.3 FDT framework PACTwareTM

PACTwareTM is the first open source Process Automation Configuration Tool with an
open FDT interface (Field Device Tool). For the first time this enables all field buses
and field devices in a system, independent of the manufacturer, to be configured and
assigned parameters using a single engineering tool.
Representative example on the basis of PACTwareTM

The PACTwareTM user interface is divided into two parts: The project tree is located in
the left part; the data and input fields being represented in the right.
The system structure is represented in the project tree. Above the HART Multiplexer
there is a HART driver and above that a host system (PC). All the connected
Multiplexer Slaves are to be found under the HART Multiplexer Master.
Under these Slave units there are the HART compatible field devices.
5.4 Multiplexer configuration

5.4.1 Connection to the service station (PC, DCS/process control system)
The connection to the service station or to the control system is made via a
multidrop-able RS 485 interface. The baud rate of this interface can be set to 9600,
19200 or 38400 Baud via the DIP switches 2 and 3 (see section 5.4.2). The device
address for the communication via RS 485 is set by the DIP switches 4 to 8 (see
section 5.4.2).
When setting the address, care should be taken to ensure that no address is
assigned more than once, since this can lead to communication errors or even
communication failure.
Attention The adjusted baud rate must comply with the service station.
5.4.2 DIP switch settings

8 DIP switches are located on the top of the device. DIP switch 1 is used by the
manufacturer for testing the device and must therefore always be set to OFF.
DIP switch 1 Meaning

Setting OFF Normal status
DIP switches 2 and 3 determine the baud rate of the RS 485 interface.

Note
5.4.3 LED indicators

The device has three LEDs, located on the front of the housing.
The meaning of these LEDs is given in the following table:
Color Meaning
Red Error indications (detected during the initialization phase)
Green Operating indications
Orange HART communication with a field device
During the initialization phase, the green LED flashes, the other two are off.
During the REBUILD function, the green LED is ON and the orange flashes.
If all three LEDs flash one after the other, the DIP switch 1 (test) is in the ON
Note position. Set the switch to OFF and repeat the commissioning.
5.4.4 Start-up sequence

Following connection of the power supply, the device executes an initialization
procedure with self test. The function is indicated by a flashing green LED, any errors
detected are indicated by a red LED. Next a search is made of the Multiplexers in the
Multiplexer table (command 157) for available HART compatible field devices
(REBUILD). This function is indicated by a flashing orange LED. The REBUILD
function can also be started via the service station, e. g. in order to include
connected transmitters in the communication process during the operating phase.
The duration of this function is dependent on the number of connected transmitters,
Multiplexer Slaves and message repeats in the case of errors, or if an interrogation
has not been answered. The factory setting for the number of repeats is 2. The
search duration for this lies between approx. 30 s and several minutes (full
structure).
After finishing this phase the orange LED should be expired.
In addition, transient data are set to their pre-setting. Non-volatile stored data are
retained. see section 5.4.5.
202598

Commissioning
5.4.5 Device parameter, parameterization

For the identification and programming of the Multiplexer Master, this contains - as
do other HART field devices - specific parameters that are in the non-volatile
memory. The following list shows these parameters and how the programming must
be carried out.
• Unambiguous device identification (see commands 0, 11)
The device identification provides information about the device (type, type-ID,
serial number and revision numbers) and the manufacturer and cannot be
changed.
• Message (see commands 12 and 17)
An arbitrary 32 character long item of text can be stored in the device under this
parameter.
• Tag, description and date (see commands 13 and 18)
A tag (8 characters), description (16 characters) and a date, can be saved under
these parameters.
• The number of preambles in message responses (see command 59)
This parameter is used to establish how many preambles are inserted in message
responses. The pre-setting is 4, the setting range is 2 ... 20.
• Number of message repeats (retry) (see commands 144 and 145)
The number of message repeats can be separately set for the repeats in the case
of communication errors and for the response code Busy (see section 9.1.3).
The range of adjustment is 0 ... 11 repeats. In the case of communication errors,
the pre-setting is 2, in the case of the response code Busy it is 0.
• SCAN command (see section 7.1.7 and commands 146 and 147)
Of the available SCAN parameters, only the SCAN command is stored by non-
volatile means. It signifies which HART command (1, 2 or 3) is to be sent to the
transmitter as the SCAN command.
• Master type (primary or secondary Master) (see command 151)
This controls the priority for access to the HART field devices. A primary Master
always initiates a connection with a field device. A secondary Master initiates a
connection to a field device through an arbitration function (i. e. only when the
primary Master does not achieve access). The pre-setting of the Multiplexer is
Primary Master. A typical example of a secondary Master is a hand-held
operating device.
• Loop type search (command 153)
At present, the Multiplexer does not support a multidrop with HART, i. e. only one
HART field device is connected to each HART channel. With loop construction
(REBUILD, see above) the connected field devices are either always searched on
the short address 0 (single analogue), or, in preparation for multidrop, on the
short addresses 0 ... 15, in which the first one found is addressed (single
unknown).
• Module table (see section 7.1.2 and command 157)
• Delay time on channel change (loop-switch delay) (see section 7.1.8 and
command 161)

6.1 PACTwareTM introduction

PACTwareTM is Pepperl+Fuchs latest generation of configuration software that makes
it easy to program Pepperl+Fuchs’s equipment. In addition to becoming single
configuration tool, PACTwareTM interfaces with HART capable field instruments as
well as bus systems such as PROFIBUS, Modbus and ControlNet.
PACTwareTM offers many features that allow users to simplify plant documentation,
generate trend curves, and monitor signals using HART data. Our software uses
Device Tool Managers (DTM) to provide the interface into PACTwareTM.
Pepperl+Fuchs has created DTMs for HART capable instruments by converting their
Device Description (DD) into the appropriate DTM for use with PACTwareTM.
6.2 Installing the software components

In order to be able to configure the device by means of a PC operating program, the
following software components are required:
1. Microsoft® .NET Framework 1.1
2. PACTwareTM 3.0 (Process Automation Configuration Tool) or later
PACTwareTM is used according to FDT Specification 1.2 (Field Device Tool
Specification) as a framework program for the DTM (Device Type Manager),
which is supplied by manufacturers of field devices as configuration software.
3. DTM Collection HART Multiplexer
The DTM Collection comprises all Device DTMs required to parameterize the
HART Multiplexer. The DTM are used to establish the communication with field
devices using protocols, such as the HART or PROFIBUS protocol.
4. HART Comm DTM
This package contains the HART communication DTMs which is necessary to
establish communication between the HOST and the HART Multiplexer DTM.
5. Generic HART DTM
The Generic HART DTM provides basic HART functionalities for field devices. It
can be used for basic parameterization in case that no field device specific DTM
is available. Therefore this DTM is recommended also in addition to field device
specific DTMs.
6. Field device specific DTMs
Vendors of field devices provide specific DTM for those. These DTMs allow
access to all functions of the devices and therefore a detailled parameterization.
For further information please refer to the specific vendors.
The software components are rendered available on CD or on the Internet at
www.pepperl-fuchs.com in the product selector via Software > PACTware.
For the latest software component, please access the product selector via
Software > PACTware.
Note
For the HART Multiplexer DTM a licence is necessary. Without licence only one
HART Multiplexer with one field device can be used. For getting a licence please
refer to Pepperl+Fuchs.

Operation
7 Operation
7.1 Device functions
The software functions described in this section are normally integrated into the
operating software for the servicing station, i. e. the functions are not generally (de-
)activated via the described HART commands. In contrast the operating software
uses functions (menu commands) to control these procedures. However the basic
Note
HART commands are described as well, because the functions may be named
different in the various operating softwares and the basic function may not be
obvious. Information on the supported commands can be found in section 9.1.
7.1.1 Channel number

The HART Multiplexer Master KFD2-HMM-16 provides 16 channels for the
connection of SMART transmitters or control devices, which support digital
communication in accordance with the HART specification. A maximum of 15
additional KFD0-HMS-16 Slaves can be connected, each of which in turn support 16
channels. Thus in a full assembly, a loop of 256 channels can be achieved with just
one Master. When using the Multiplexer Master with the RPI product family, no Slave
units are necessary. On RPI, communication takes place via the Power Rail.
7.1.2 Multiplexer table (module table)

The Multiplexer Master and the connected Multiplexer Slaves must be designated as
available in a Multiplexer table (command 157). Only those modules defined as
available in this table are used in the communication process. The Multiplexer table
consists of 16 Bit, one for each possible Multiplexer address (default: module 0
(Master) and 1 activated).
7.1.3 Interface
In this way, the Multiplexer Master acts as a transparent gateway between the
service station (typically a PC with suitable software, see section 3.3.2) and the field
devices. The service station is able to communicate with up to 31 Multiplexer via up
to 38400 Baud RS 485 connection. Because each Multiplexer is able to
communicate with 256 field devices, up to 7936 field devices are controllable over a
single RS 485 interface.
7.1.4 HART communication

As a digital communication system for servicing and configuration purposes, the
HART protocol is supported by many field devices with conventional analog
4 mA ... 20 mA current loops. The HART signal is thus modulated on the analog
current as an FSK signal (see section 3.2). The modulator/de-modulator circuitry
(Modem) required for this is integrated in the Multiplexer. Only one HART transmitter
can be connected at each Multiplexer HART connection (no multidrop functionality).
Special procedures in respect to HART communication:
• On the host side (RS 485) always the long frame address is used (except for
command 0).
• On the field devices side, either the short address or the long frame address is
used, depending on necessity.
• The operating modes Primary Master and Secondary Master and the
corresponding time responses are supported on the field device side.
• On the host side, only the commands 0 ... 3 and 11 ... 13 are accepted from the
secondary host. Other commands are not accepted/are ignored.
202598
• Commands to connected field devices are only accepted by the primary host.
47
Operation
• Extended messages and messages in the Burst Mode are recognized and used,
but not generated by the Multiplexer itself.
• An answer buffer is available for a delayed message response. This can be used
to intermediately store a message, the command for which requires a long
execution time.
7.1.5 Loop construction/REBUILD (Software function)

On power-up, the device searches the Multiplexers in the Multiplexer table for the
connected HART field devices (commands 0 and 41) and generates the internally
required access tables. This function can also be carried out by the connected
service station, as is necessary, for example, in communication with newly
connected HART field devices. The duration of this function depends on the number
of connected Multiplexer Slaves and HART field devices and also on the type of loop
search (see command 153) and the permissible number of message repeats. With
16 HART devices (e. g. by using only one Master without Slaves) the duration is
between 15 s and 30 s. The number of permissible message repeats is set to 2 in the
factory setting and the loop search type to single analogue.
During the REBUILD phase, only certain read commands are accepted from the
service station (commands 0, 1, 2, 3, 11, 12, 13, 48, and 129). All other commands
are followed by the response Busy, until the REBUILD phase ends.
7.1.6 Cyclic data interrogation/SCAN (software function)

The Multiplexer can read cyclic data from up to 31 transmitters. In this case the
SCAN option must be set for the transmitter (command 137) and the SCAN function
activated in the Multiplexer (command 149, function 1). Which data is transferred is
determined by the SCAN command option (command 147).
If the SCAN function is activated, the transmitters, on which the SCAN option is
activated are regularly checked for data. In this case, the SCAN command is
executed, with which one or more variables are read from the transmitter. If a field
device does not respond, it is designated as having disappeared (see
command 129), but it remains in the search list (i. e., it is searched for again on the
next run sequence). If a device has disappeared, but responds correctly on the next
search command, it is then listed as appeared. If, instead of this, another device has
answered, then the status mismatched is assigned.
7.1.7 Variation on the SCAN function (special SCAN function)

The Multiplexer offers in addition a second SCAN function. With this special SCAN
function (command 149, function 2) an additional parameter is used, which defines
the minimum length of the expected number of data bytes. This can be different for
each current loop, but must be set for each current loop that is to be scanned.
The SCAN function itself takes place as above, however, the response of the
transmitter is compared with the expected data length. If the length of the response is
less than the set minimum data length, the answer is rejected. If the minimum length
is 0, the answer is always saved.
7.1.8 Delay on channel change/Loop switch delay (software function when used with RPI)
If the HART Multiplexer is used with a RPI HART control module, a pause time must
be inserted when the Multiplexer channel is changed. This pause time is necessary,
since the RPI HART control module has to monitor the communication channel of the
Multiplexer and recognize the channel change. This pause time can be set by means
of command 161.
202598
1 Command 4 is additionally used on transmitters which only support the old HART specifications up to 4.

Diagnosis and fault elimination
8 Diagnosis and fault elimination

8.1 General
This section provides operating instructions to be used if faults occur and describes
the possible causes of such faults.
Faults and failures are signalled via the following means:
• LEDs (see section 5.4.3 and 8.2)
• Status/response code (see section 8.3)
Note • Extended device status (see section 8.4)
8.2 LED indication

The following fault conditions can occur during the initialization phase after start-up:
Red Green Orange Cause Corrective action

Off Off Off • No power supply available. • Check power supply.
• LED(s) defect • Select DIP switch 1, isolate power
supply briefly. LEDs flash one after the
other.

Switch Delay, command 161) sent to Pepperl+Fuchs for repair.
8.3 Status/response code (response code)

8.3.1 General
Two status bytes, also referred to as the "Response code" are contained in every
message from a field device. These contain three types of information:
• Communication errors
• Command responses and the
• Device status.
Depending on Bit 7, the first two types are contained in the first status byte. The
device status is always transferred in the second byte.
202598
50
8.3.2 Structure of the first byte

If Bit 7 is set (1), the first status byte contains a summary of the communication
errors. This information is coded bit by bit.
If Bit 7 is cleared (0), the first status byte contains a summary of the command
responses. This information is numbered consecutively and not coded bit by bit.
Communication error This Byte contains information concerning the reception of a message.
The individual bits indicate a detected error, which has resulted in non-acceptance of
the message. Thus neither can a response be given to the message. It is necessary
to repeat the command, to check the connections, to use the terminating resistors or
to reduce the baud rate.
Bit Meaning
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
1 Communication error, if Bit 7 = 1, coded bit by bit
1 1 Parity error
1 1 Overrun error
1 1 Message error
1 1 Checksum error
1 0 always 0 (reserved)
1 1 Input buffer overrun
1 1 (undefined)
Details can be found in /1/.
Note
Command responses The first byte contains information relating to the execution of a command. The
command-specific response code thus documents the execution of the command.
In contrast to the communication error, the command responses are not coded bit by
bit, but are numbered consecutively from 0 to 127.
Of the command responses signalled by the Multiplexer, two instances are warnings
(codes 8 and 31), in which the processing of the command is continued. In the other
cases, errors are indicated, that means that the initiating command could not be
correctly executed. Here, the remedy is given by the meaning of the code.
All the codes that occur on the HART system are described in /1/.
Note

Appendix
9.4 Glossary
Address
In communications technology, the address of a device is used to identify that device, so that
messages can be delivered correctly. HART uses two forms of addressing: a polling address in
the range 0 to 15, and a unique identifier (long frame format address) of 38 bits. The polling
address 0 is reserved for 4 mA ... 20 mA analog transmitters in  point-to-point networks, polling
addresses 1 ... 15 for transmitters in  multidrop networks.
Broadcast Mode
 Burst Mode
Burst Mode
A communication mode in which a Master device instructs Slave devices to continiously
broadcast process values (e. g. the  primary variable) until the Master instructs it to stop. The
Multiplexer recognizes and supports this mode, but itself does not instruct field devices to use
this mode.
FSK
Abbreviation for Frequency Shift Keying. Method of coding the two digital signals "0" and "1" with
two different frequencies.
HART
Abbreviation for Highway Addressable Remote Transducer. Used to describe communications
that complies to the HART specification. HART is a  Master-Slave system.
Host
Higher layer system, e. g. service station, PC or process control system.
Long frame address
 Address
Master
A device (e. g. the process control system) in a  Master-Slave system that initiates all
transactions and commands.
Master-Slave system
A communication system in which all message transactions and commands are always initiated
by a  Master device and  Slave devices only respond to requests received.
Multidrop
In contrast to  point-to-point, more than two (field) devices are connected together to one
segment (pair of wires) in a multidrop system. To correspond to each singe device it must have a
unique  address. Because communication can only be established to one field device, cycle
times are increasing proportional to the number of field devices. In HART multidrop operation the
current through each field device is fixed at 4 mA to allow parallel operation of more than one
device (up to 15 devices are possible).
Multimaster
HART allows connection of two Masters, a primary and a secondary Master. A high level station
is configured as primary Master, usually this is the process control system or the main service
station. A lower level station is configured as secondary Master, this may be a hand terminal or a
service station. The difference between primary and secondary Master is the priority of the bus
access: the primary Master has a higher priority than the secondary Master. Messages sent by
the Masters are characterized by a Master bit, so that the Masters can recognize which
responses are intended for them.
Point-to-point
202598
In a point-to-point communication system, only two communicating devices are connected

together to one segment (pair of wires). A point-to-point system is for example the Master-Slave
system Multiplexer-field device.

Primary Master
 Multimaster
60
Appendix
Primary variable
Process value measured by a field device. The unit depends on the used HART command (see
commands 1, 2 and 3). The primary variable of a pressure sensor could contain for example the
measured process pressure in the unit "bar".
Secondary Master
 Multimaster
Secondary variable
Additional value (measured in the process) of a field device (up to four additional values are
supported by HART). This variable can only be read by HART command 3.
Slave
A device (e. g. transmitter or valve) in a Master-Slave system that receives commands from a
 Master device. A Slave is not able to initiate a transaction.
"Smart" field device
Microprocessor-based device that can be programmed, has memory, is capable of performing
calculations and self-diagnostics and reporting faults, and can be communicated with from a
remote location.
Tag
Unique tag (designation of the control engineering point) of the field device within the process
plant.
