THE HART COMMUNICATOR AND THE YEAR 2000
The HART Communicator is Year 2000 Compliant if the operating system is
level 4.6 or greater. To determine the operating system level in your HART
Communicator, turn it on. The first screen displays the “Module Rev”, which
is the operating system level. If you need to update your operating system
software, contact your nearest product representative.
NOTE: When you power up the Communicator, the Firmware Rev number
appears first. A few seconds later, the Module Rev number displays one line
below the Firmware Rev.
Editing the Date
When you edit a date, you have three fields to edit: the first field is the month,
the second field is the day, and the third field is the year.
If you enter the year using two digits, the HART Communicator will assume
that the year is 1900 plus the value you enter.
If you enter four digits, the HART Communicator will use all four digits to
represent the year. By definition in the HART PROTOCOL, the year must be
between 1900 and 2155.
When a date is displayed, the HART Communicator will display two digits in
the year if the year is between 1900 and 1999. If the year is 2000 or greater,
the HART Communicator will display all four digits.
