Configuration Files with a Model
268
B.1 Uploading files
If for any reason the transmitter cannot be connected to a personal
computer, a configuration file can be created using the ProLink program,
then transferred to the transmitter using a Model 268.
This procedure is for an RFT9739 or RFT9729. The
IFT9701, IFT9703,
Version 3.x 9739, and 9712 transmitters are not supported by the
Model 268. ProLink does not support upload and download of
configuration files or the Model 275 HART Communicator.
Uploading involves four separate procedures:
1. Connecting the PC Interface adaptor to a Model 268
2. Running the ProLink setup program to choose HART protocol (if not
already chosen)
3. Opening the Communication Options dialog box to choose 1200
baud and the HART primary master type (if not already chosen)
4. Choosing Upload in the Transmitter Database, then following the
on-screen instructions
After the Model 268 has been uploaded with the configuration file, the
configuration can be downloaded to a compatible transmitter.
Table B-1
lists Model 268 software compatibility with Micro Motion transmitters.

.
To connect the PC Interface adaptor to a Model 268:
1. Using the Bell 202-compatible cables supplied with the ProLink kit
and with the Model 268 (each cable has a plug and two Minigrabber
connectors), plug one cable into the PC Interface adaptor ports
labeled Bell 202, or into another Bell 202 signal converter. Plug the
other cable into the ports on the Model 268.
2. Hook the Minigrabber connectors on one cable to the Minigrabber
connectors on the other cable.
