TR4.0:PROVOXRevision A — April 1997
hardcoded
A type of intelligent sensor function
sequence table (FST) for a PROVOXr
system. All types of exported intelligent
sensors except parameterized FSTs are
hardcoded. Hardcoded means that the
scaling factors, limits, and weights are
unchangeable constants in the program.
The only way to change one of these
constants is to overwrite the p rogram with
another version of the program.
hard disk
A magnetic storage medium with a large
data storage capacity (as compared to
diskettes) on platters housed
permanently within the drive.
hardkey
A named keyboard key used to enter
information or to access, select, or
perform a specific function. An
explanation of the hardkey’s acronym or
function immediately follows the first
reference to it in the text. Hardkeys
usually are referred to simply as keys, but
occasionally as buttons.
hard manual mode (HMAN)
A special control mode associated with
controller backup: in some PROVOXr
systems, if a controller fails, additional
hardware lets the operator retain manual
mode control of the loop output.
HART
Acronym: Highway Addressable Remote
Transducer
HART_CHANNEL utility
The CHIP HART CHANNEL utility allows
the user to disable and re-enable digital
communication originated by a Type
CL6826 Smart Device Output Card
channel.
Currently, this utility needs to be used
only when specific FIELDVUE
ValveLinkt software off-line diagnostics
are being run on a PC connected at the
termination panel or to the FIELDVUE
valve itself.
HART Communication Foundation
The organization that establishes goals,
sets policies, and acts as the official
source of information worldwide
regarding HART communication
technology.
HART communicator
The Fisher-Rosemount Systems Model
275 HART Communicator is the
hand-held interface that provides a
common communication link to all HART
protocol-compatible,
microprocessor-based devices.
HCF
Acronym: HART Communication
Foundation
HDF
Acronym: Historical Data File
HDL
Acronym: Highway Data Link
HDLC
Acronym: High-Level Data Link Control
header
Information about the purpose, source
and version of the recipe such as recipe
and product identification, originator,
issue date, and so forth.
