Fluke Process Calibrators Model 744 HART
The Fluke Documenting Process Calibrators Model 744 offers all of the capabilities of the powerful Fluke 743B, plus the ability to maintain and calibrate selected HART transmitters without a second tool.
As more and more process plants begin to take advantage of smart transmitters, the need for a new generation of calibrators has emerged-calibrators that can communicate via industry standard digital protocols. The 744 combines HART communication capability with the popular 740 Series Documenting Process Calibrators to deliver an integrated communicating calibrator. This rugged, reliable tool is ideal for calibrating, maintaining, and troubleshooting HART instrumentation. The 744 offers:
Integrated HART communication functions, permitting you to monitor, control, and calibrate HART instrumentation.
- Handling of fast pulsed RTD transmitters and PLCs, with pulses as short as 1 mS.
- NiMH battery with 3500 mA hour life and gas gauge.
The first field calibrator for HART instruments that's both powerful and easy to use.
The 744 offers the most complete HART implementation of any process calibrator. The 744:
- Requires no external box or second tool for everyday HART calibration and maintenance.
- Offers fast HART communication.
- Supports popular models of HART transmitters, with more devise-specific command support than any other HART field calibrator.
- Fully complies with the Data Link Layer of the HART protocol, including multiple masters, burst mode, and multi-drop configurations.
- Is easy to update as additional instruments are added and new HART versions are released.
- Is based on the 743B, the most rugged, reliable multifunction field calibrator available.
- Is backed by the service and support of the Fluke organization, a member of the Hart Communications Foundation.
The 744 is designed to take on nearly all the day-to-day tasks you now perform with a seperate communicator. In fact, it offers the communication capabilities of the 275 HART communicator except for the DD interpreter, which can read command set libraries from any HART supplier. This is not necessary for daily HART maintenance.
With the 744 DPC, you can:
Generate precision electrical, temperature, or pressure signals for analog stimulus or sensor simulation.
Simultaneously measure electrical, temprature, or pressure signals from transmitter output.
Determine type, manufacturer, model, tag ID by interrogating HART devices.
Read HART PV function and smart transmitter digital output while measuring analog mA output.
Read and write HART configuration functions to make field adjustments to PV range points, damping, and other top-level configuration settings.
- Re-label smart transmitters by reading and writing HART tag and message fields.
- Clone additional transmitters by reading and storing basic HART configurations.
- Perform automated HART sensor trim and output trim for selected devices in conjunction with As Found/As Left tests.
- Perform loop test with simultaneous analog and digital mA readout.
- Address new, fast, pulsed-excitation smart transmitters and PLCs.
