Monitoring Host Communications

Use the Host Communication Status dialog when operating online to view counts of HART communication transmissions between the HART multiplexer in the BMEAHI0812(H) or BMEAHO0412(C) and a host.

In the Host Communication Status dialog the:

• Host Asking area describes HART transmissions between the module and the gateway (or primary) DTM, including:

  • Number of commands from the gateway DTM to the module, and

  • Number of responses from the module to the gateway DTM

• Other Host area describes HART transmissions between the module and any other HART primary – such as asset management software or Control Expert software – including:

  • Number of commands from the HART primary to the module

  • Number of responses from the module to the HART primary
