Primary vs. Secondary

Two HART primary devices can operate simultaneously: one primary and one secondary. Use the Software Primary Mode setting to specify the relationship between the gateway DTM and the HART analog I/O multiplexer resident in the module, either:

  • Primary: Select this if the gateway DTM is the primary of the HART multiplexer.

  • Secondary: Select this if this DTM is configured as the secondary of the HART multiplexer.

    NOTE: When the module is configured as a secondary:

    • the Configuration parameters in the General Information dialog are read-only

    • the Address Table , Host Communication Status , Instrument Status , and Multiplexer Status dialogs are not available
