2 Overview
2.1 Range of application

The K-System devices from Pepperl+Fuchs are used for transmitting signals between field devices
and a process control system/control system.
The devices marked with "Ex" in the type designation are suitable for the connection of field devices
used in potentially explosive atmospheres. Safe field circuits for these devices are intrinsically safe
and are galvanically isolated from non-intrinsically safe circuits. The devices thus establish an
electromagnetic separation between the potentially explosive atmospheres and the safe areas in a
805639

system.
Devices without Ex-identification can be used to transmit signals between field devices and the
11/30/07

process control system/control unit.

Overview

The HART system allows digital communication with HART field devices via cables for analogue
4 mA ... 20 mA field circuits.
The HART Loop Converter
KFD2-HLC-(Ex)1.D(.**) from the K-System
(HLC) evaluates up to four HART variables HART
HART (PV, SV, TV, QV). The information can be PV, SV,
converted to three different 4 mA ... 20-mA TV, QV
3x
current signals and conveyed to display
devices or analogue inputs on the process
control system/control system, for example. 4x
In addition, two or four configurable trip values
from the HART variables can be monitored via
the relay outputs on the KFD2-HLC-
(Ex)1.D.2W or KFD2-HLC-(Ex)1.D.4S.

More information (for example, certificates and data sheets for the HLC and the operating manual for
the K-System) can be found on our webpage www.pepperl-fuchs.com (enter *HLC* in the product
search).

5.3 Setting parameters of HART field device

In order to set the parameters of the connected HART field device, you will require a HART handheld
terminal which you can connect to terminals 22/24 or the field cables. Transmitting the HART signal
via the current outputs of the HLC is not possible.
When connecting the field cables, use an old handheld terminal if the field cables lead
through a hazardous area.

• the current values for HART variables PV, SV, TV, QV in the selected unit and
• the actual current output values Ch1, Ch2, Ch3 in mA.
• Please use the S and T keys to select the displayed measured value
or current output value.
• To select the units for the measured values see section 8.2.
• The display is updated every time the HLC receives a HART command 3 message from the field
device.
• Current output values are displayed as a four-digit number. The decimal point is set to give the best
possible resolution.
• The floating decimal values for the HART variables are displayed as follows:
− if possible as a four-digit number with decimal point and without an exponent (negative values
have three digits because of minus sign)
− a number may be rounded up (0.3456 appears as 0.346)
− if this display is not possible, the mantissa and exponent are displayed alternately.
If the restart inhibit (see section 8.5.5 and 8.5.7) is triggered but the device continues operating
normally, a corresponding message appears in the second line of the display.
If a fault occurs, one of the following messages is displayed until the fault is rectified:
• Err device fault (red LED lights up)
• Err communication error (red LED flashes)
• Err sensor fault (red LED flashes)
If switching the HLC on/off and checking the cables does not rectify the fault, please contact
Pepperl+Fuchs or the field device manufacturer.

Description of HART operations:

7 Description of HART operations

Dynamic variable acquisition
HART command 3 is always used to obtain the applicable dynamic variables, either directly or by
activating it in the Burst Mode.
Burst Mode operation
The HART Burst Mode is the HLC preferred one because it ensures a faster operation. The HLC will
therefore always try to set the connected device in the Burst Mode. The Burst Mode activation
command will be sent to the field device in the following situations:
• after an HLC unit power-up (or after an internally generated reset)
• after a field device power-up
• when the communication with the field device is recovered after a time-out.
"Command and answer" operation
If the field device doesn't support the Burst Mode, the HLC will use the normal "command and answer"
mode.
Burst mode recovery procedure
If the HLC stop receiving the burst frames, the following recovery procedure will be applied:
• The HLC immediately goes into the "command and answer" mode.
• The HLC then check if another HART master is sending messages on the loop; if another master
is found, the HLC will not try to re-enable the Burst Mode.
• If no other HART master is found the HLC will keep trying to re-enable the Burst Mode.
• As soon as any Burst frame is again received, the HLC immediately return to the Burst Mode.
This procedure makes possible for another HART master to temporary disable the Burst Mode, as
could be required for servicing reasons.

If password protection is active, the various settings in parameterization mode can be viewed without
entering the password, but not changed.
The password cannot be changed and is 1234.
The password is entered as follows:
• On the first attempt to make a change, the device immediately prompts for a password.
• The first digit of the password flashes.
• Now enter each number of the password by pressing the S and T keys (numbers 0 to 9) and press
OK to confirm each individual number. The next digit of the password then flashes.
• You can abort password entry at any time by pressing ESC.
• If you enter the last digit and press OK to confirm but the password is incorrect, the last digit of the
password continues to flash. You can either enter the last digit again or press ESC to cancel the
entry and make another attempt from the beginning.
• If you enter the last digit, press OK to confirm and the password is correct, the parameter change
is accepted.
The password must be entered for each transition from display mode to parameterization mode, once
each time.

Editing device data: HARTcom

If available, the HLC activates Burst Mode for the HART field device to achieve maximum
communication speed. The HLC uses the universal HART command 3 to retrieve variables (PV, SV,
TV, QV, if available).

8.3.1 Mode
Depending on the setting, the HLC operates as a primary or secondary HART master device according
to HART standards and is fully compatible with each HART handheld terminal and any other HART
master devices.

8.3.2 TimeOut
If the HLC does not receive a valid HART message after the preset time, the fault indication
Communication fault is issued. Time-out range is 5 s to 60 s in increments of 5 seconds.

8.3.3 ShortAddress and LocateMethod

More than one HART field device may be present in a HART loop, as specified in the HART standards.
However, the HLC can only communicate with one HART field device at a time. This field device is
identified during the localization phase.
• If you select LocateMethod fixed, the HLC communicates with the field device that was assigned a
short address under ShortAddress.
• If you select LocateMethod, the HLC runs a search for the shortest address – beginning with the
address assigned under ShortAddress – and then communicates with this device. The device
address is saved to accelerate the next start-up process under ShortAddress.

8.3.4 Rebuild
If the connection to the HART field device is lost, you can use Rebuild to run through the localization
phase without having to switch the HLC off and on again.
Pressing the OK key when On Rebuild is flashing prompts the HLC to start searching for connected
HART devices (see section 8.3.3) in the same way as during start-up.

Editing device data: Current outputs

8.4.1 Assignment
The values of the HART variable selected here (PV, SV, TV, QV) are displayed at the current output
(see section 8.4.2). The number of available variables depends on the HART field device.
If disabled is selected, the downscale error current is issued constantly at the current output (0 mA or
2 mA depending on the characteristic, see section 8.4.4).

8.4.2 Characteristic
The Start value and End value parameters (see section 8.4.3) allow you to define a value range for
the assigned HART variable, which is used as a measurement range in the application. This
measurements range is represented at the output signal in linear form (start value to 4 mA, end value
to 20 mA, proportional intermediate values).
• In the characteristic 4 - 20 unlimited, you can evaluate measurement range shortfalls up to 0 mA
and excess measurement ranges up to approx. 23 mA.
• In the characteristic 4 - 20 NE43, you can evaluate measurement range shortfalls up to 3.8 mA and
excess measurement ranges up to 20.5 mA.
• Measurement ranges that exceed the specified linear range cannot be evaluated. If the range is
exceeded, the minimum and maximum stated values are issued continually.

Please remember the following when entering the Start value and End value:
• Both values must be entered as floating decimal numbers in the unit selected under Unit (see
section 8.1.4 and 8.2).
• The start value must be 1 % smaller than the end value. This is checked by the device and a start
value bigger than the end value will not be accepted. In this case the end value must be entered
prior the start value.

8.5.5 Restart inhibit

With the restart inhibit, you prevent momentary trip violations from going unnoticed by
operating personnel.
If Restart inhibit on is selected, after the relay switches, the new status remains active until the ESC
key is pressed or the device is restarted. This will reset the relay unless the trip violation is still pending.

8.5.6 Response delay

Setting a response delay > 0 seconds prevents momentary trip violations from triggering an alarm.
• The relay only switches when the trip value exceeds or falls below the trip point for a period longer
than the delay time without interruptions.
• The relay only switches back when the trip value exceeds or falls below the trip point/hysteresis for
a period longer than the delay time without interruptions.
• Momentary excesses/shortfalls have no effect.
