 Introduction

Purpose/Scope
This manual is intended to facilitate the use of the Honeywell MC Toolkit communications tool. It is
assumed that the user is skilled in the use and maintenance of process transmitters in process control, or
that he/she is under direct supervision of others with such skills.
The MC toolkit, with MC Toolkit Application Software and SDC 625 Application Software, enables
communication with several types of smart transmitters (pressure, temperature, etc) that are available for
use in the process control industry.
The emphasis of the information in this manual is directed primarily on the features and use of the
MC Toolkit in performing common maintenance tasks relating to transmitter devices, rather than on the
features and installation of specific transmitter devices.
It is recommended that that user should have the appropriate manuals available for specific transmitter
devices. For background information such as HART communications protocol and network wiring, it is
also recommended that the user should obtain publications available from agencies such s the HART
Communication Foundation.

Product Description

Product Description
The Honeywell MC Toolkit is a handheld communication package that enables convenient and reliable
communications with smart transmitters (temperature, pressure, and others). It consists of two software
applications – MC Toolkit Application Software and SDC 625 Application Software. The MC Toolkit
Application Software can be used to configure, monitor and calibrate Honeywell DE and HART
transmitters. The SDC 625 Application, utilizing HART Device Description (DD) technology, can be used
to configure, monitor and calibrated all HART devices – Honeywell or non-Honeywell devices. The MC
Toolkit can communicate to:

• any Honeywell analog transmitter with Honeywell proprietary digital communications protocol or with
DE (Digital Enhanced) communications protocol.

• any Honeywell transmitters with HART communications protocol

• Any HART transmitter from other manufacturers.

The MCT101 includes the following (separately orderable) components:

• a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant)

• a DE/HART Modem

• a Handheld Connector Cable that connects the PDA to the Modem

• Holster for PDA and Modem

• Honeywell MC Toolkit application software (CD ROM)

 Introduction

Procedural Considerations
CAUTION! WARNING!
In some cases, the use of a field communicator with a transmitter that is connected on-line can have an
adverse effect on process operations.

Before using the MC Toolkit, be certain that you know the potential consequences of each procedure, and
that you use the appropriate safeguards to prevent problems. For example, if the transmitter is an element
of a control loop, the loop should be placed in the manual operating mode, and alarms and interlocks
("trips") should be disabled as appropriate before beginning the procedure.
The primary factors to be considered are separated into three categories under the following three headings.
The information under the following headings is intended as background for use of the DE Procedures and
HART Procedures, which are given in separate sections of this manual.

Transmitter Type and Communication Mode

The MC Toolkit can be used with various types of field transmitters, most of which can be operated in
more than one mode.

• Honeywell DE transmitter operating in Smart Analog Mode

• Honeywell DE transmitter operating in Digital Enhanced (DE) Mode

• Honeywell (and other) HART transmitter operating in point-to-point (Analog w/ HART digital mode)

• Honeywell (and other) HART transmitter operating in multi-drop (HART-only digital mode)
The salient characteristics of each item listed, and the implications of each characteristic in procedures are
described under Transmitter/Communications Characteristics

Type of Procedure and Prerequisites

The MC Toolkit is designed to provide three basic functions:

• Monitoring

• Configuration

• Calibration
Depending on combinations of factors such as transmitter type, and communications mode, some
procedures such as monitoring the performance of a transmitter can be straightforward and innocuous, but
in some cases can also require special preparation and precautions.

Special Equipment and/or Environment for Calibration

Typically, a smart transmitter delivered by a major manufacturer today is designed to provide a high degree
of precision throughout its operating range, and has been calibrated to a high level of accuracy that is not
easy to duplicate in the user's plant process areas. Moreover, the design, materials, and manufacturing
process employed will ensure that the instrument will stay within calibration limits for an extended period.
Typically, calibration of a process-connected transmitter will degrade, rather than augment, the capability
of a smart transmitter. For this reason, the calibration procedures in this MC Toolkit User Manual include
a recommendation that the transmitter is removed from service and is calibrated only in a controlled
laboratory environment, using equipment whose precision is certified.

Transmitter/Communications Characteristics

Transmitter/Communications Characteristics
The characteristics of a typical Honeywell Smart Pressure Transmitter are summarized in Figure 3 through
Figure 7, following.

Honeywell Transmitter (Analog Mode)

Analog-to-Digital Sensing
As indicated by key number (1) in Figure 3, the sensor is a sealed assembly that typically includes three
separate sensors: Differential Pressure (DP), Static Pressure (SP) and Temperature (Temp).
Input Characterization
The sensor also includes a PROM, (2), which is Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) that stores
"characterization" constants written at the factory, and calibration constants, which can be written at the
factory and/or at the user's site. The data in NVM is used in an algorithm in the microprocessor, (3), which
is executed continuously to calculate the input value.

Figure 3 Honeywell ST 3000 Smart Transmitter - Analog mode

The characterization constants, which are written at the factory, are derived from highly precise testing of
the sensor's response over a range of temperatures, and from the Lower Range Limit (LRL) to the Upper
Range Limit (URL) of the sensor. The purpose of the characterization constants is to compensate for very
small inaccuracies in the sensor that are introduced by variations inherent in construction materials, and to
ensure that the calculated input is a high-fidelity representation of the analog input (linear or square root),
with a precise "zero" reference.
Input Calibration ("Corrects")
To optimize accuracy, the PROM includes storage for calibration constants: Correct Input Zero, Correct
LRV, and Correct URV.
The corrects constants provide for optimum accuracy in that they enable fine-tuning of the input
calculations, by first correcting at zero input, then bounding the input calculations at the user's operating

Page 4 34-ST-25-20 MC Toolkit User Manual Release 3

9/06
 Introduction

range. That is, corrections are applied at the Lower Range Value (LRV) and the Upper Range Value
(URV).
Factory calibration can be specified in the purchase order. Also, if precision equipment, suitable
environment, and required skill are available at the user's site, input calibration can be done locally.
Reset Corrects
In some cases, the calibration procedure yields unsatisfactory results such that the Corrects constants must
be removed from memory. The Reset Corrects erases all three corrects constants, so that only the factory-
written characterization constants will be retained in the PROM.
Digital Communication Path
As indicated at key number (4) in Figure 4, the Honeywell Smart Transmitter includes a path for digital
communications between the sensor (via the microprocessor) and the 4-20 mA current loop that connects
the transmitter to external communications devices such as process control equipment ("receiver") and/or to
a MC Toolkit.

Digital to-Analog Conversion and Transfer

The digital-to-analog converter (D/A) shown at key number (5) in Figure 3 is shown as a box with a dotted
line to indicate that analog output mode is a user-selectable feature, for use in an application whose
receiving equipment requires an analog input.
Note that the Digital I/O (Comm) (communications) box is shown in Figure 3 with solid line to indicate
that the digital communications path is available at all times, even when analog mode is selected.

Honeywell Transmitter Output - Analog Mode

The diagram in Figure 4 provides an overview of a Honeywell transmitter operating in the analog mode.
Analog (PV Signal) Output

The vertical scale at the left of Figure 4 is an example of the available range (LRL to URL) of a pressure
transmitter sensor as built and characterized at the factory. The area of this scale that is highlighted in
white represents the configured process operating range (LRV to URV) - in this case, from 100 in H2O to
225 in H2O.
Note that Engineering Units (EUs) shown in Figure 4 are included here only for reference. The transmitter
does not perform any conversion of the base units value to Engineering Units. All conversion to EUs is
performed in the MC Toolkit and/or in other receiving devices such as operating panels associated with
control equipment. Default conversion is to inches-H2O @39F.)
The output of a Honeywell transmitter operating in the analog mode is a scaled value (0% - 100%) of
current (4 mA to 20 mA), whose lower and upper limits correspond to the configured operating range
(LRV-URV), respectively.
At the right of Figure 4, "PVEULO", "PV", and "PVEUHI" are examples of parameter names that appear
on Honeywell control equipment, which are used as follows.
Parameter Name Parameter Description Display Examples

PVEULO Process Value , Engineering Units, Low PVEULO 100 in H20

PV Process Value PV 175 in H20

PVEUHI Process Value , Engineering Units, Low PVEUHI 225 in H20

Transmitter/Communications Characteristics

URV

Figure 4 Honeywell Analog Value Scaling

Digital (Communications Signal) Input/Output

As indicated at the right of Figure 4, communications between the MC Toolkit and the Honeywell Smart
Transmitter consist of digital pulse strings, with rapid transitions of current level between (approximately)
4 mA and 20 mA.
Caution:
These rapid transitions provide for effective communications, but will interfere adversely with a transmitter
operating on-line in a control loop.
The MC Toolkit communicates digitally; exercise caution and good judgment when connecting the unit to
an on-line transmitter operating in the analog mode.

Honeywell Transmitter Output - Digital Enhanced Mode

Most of the operation of the Honeywell Smart Pressure Transmitter Digital Enhanced (DE) mode is similar
to that of operation in the analog mode. The essential characteristics of operation in DE mode are shown in
Figure 5.
As indicated at the right of Figure 5, output values of process variables, as well as digital communications,
are transferred to a receiving device digitally. The digital coding is Honeywell proprietary, which requires
the use of DE-capable Honeywell control equipment.
The use of DE mode offers several advantages:
process safety Unlike in the analog mode, communications devices do not "bump" the
value of the PV.

accuracy is retained with less Digital communications are relatively immune to small variations in
maintenance circuit resistance or supply voltage.
facilitates maintenance tasks Honeywell control systems include operating displays that enable direct
communication with transmitters operating in DE mode.

 Introduction

CAUTION:
Although it in not necessary to put a control loop in manual before communicating with a
transmitter operating in DE mode, caution is required if there is any potential for error in
identifying operating mode.

Honeywell HART Transmitters

Transmitters with HART capability have features that vary among manufacturers and with the
characteristics of specific devices. The MC Toolkit supports the HART Universal, Common Practice, and
Device Specific Commands that are implemented in Honeywell HART transmitters.
As the diagram in Figure 6 shows, the Honeywell HART Transmitter is virtually identical to non-HART
transmitters, except that the HART version includes a Digital I/O Modulator/Demodulator block (key
number (4) instead of the Honeywell DE communications block.
As indicated in Figure 7, the output of the HART includes two primary modes:

• Point-to-Point Mode, in which one transmitter is connected via a two-conductor, 4-20 mA current loop
to one receiver.

• Multi-Drop Mode, in which several transmitters are connected via a two-conductor network to a
multiplexed receiver device.
In point-to-point mode, the value of the primary PV is represented by a 4-20 mA current loop, almost
identical to that of the Honeywell Transmitter operating in analog mode. In this case however, the analog
signal is modulated by Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) methods, using frequencies and a current amplitude
that do not affect analog sensing at the receiver.
Note that the accuracy of the analog level must be precisely controlled for accurate sensing, but that HART
communications will not "bump" the process variables.
In multi-drop mode, up to 16 transmitters (addresses 0-15) can exist on the two-conductor network, which
precludes analog transmission methods. In this case, the same FSK modulation method is used for
conveying levels of PV (and other variables) and also for communications.

CAUTION:
Before connecting to a HART transmitter, ensure that the MC Toolkit is not set up for DE
communications, whose current amplitude can "bump" process variables in either point-to-
point mode or in multi-drop mode.

Non-Honeywell HART Transmitters and Devices

HART-capable transmitters from any manufacturer and for any specific purpose are designed to common-
agreement standards that provide for inter-operability.
Guidelines published by the HART Communication Foundation enables manufacturers to design devices
that communicate via a set of standard commands and responses.
The standard set of commands is an integral component of the Honeywell MC Toolkit that enables
communication with many HART transmitters from other manufacturers.
The MC Toolkit application software supports the HART Revision 5.0 Universal Commands and HART
Revision 5.0 Common Practice Commands. However, the MC Toolkit supports only a recommended
number of Common Practice commands. The MC Toolkit does not support device-specific commands for

non-Honeywell transmitters. For more information, refer to tables in the Reference Data section of this
manual.
It is recommended that the SDC 625 application software, based on DD-IDE/SDC-625 technology and
"OPEN" tools standard, be used with non-Honeywell HART devices. The SDC 625 is based on HART
Revision 5.0 and uses Device Descriptions stored in the Pocket PC to communicate to all universal,
common and specific device commands. MC Toolkit will come with all HART Registered (updated once
per quarter) Device Descriptions pre-loaded.

 General Procedures

Input Methods: Letter, Numbers, Symbols

The PDA includes four methods for character input: Block Recognizer, Keyboard, Letter Recognizer, and
Transcriber.
In the Keyboard method, the user selects a text field in display, and then selects a character at a time from a
virtual keyboard. Using the keyboard involves familiar concepts that will enable quick and accurate
entries.
In the other three methods, the stylus is used to write the desired input directly onto the screen, and each
requires some adaptation of user skills. Of these, the Transcriber is probably the most efficient and easiest
to use.

Procedural Considerations

Procedural Considerations
Input calibration
Input calibration of pressure transmitters should be done only when necessary, and should be done only
under conditions that will ensure accuracy:

• The transmitter should be taken out of service, and should be moved to an area with favorable
environmental conditions: clean, dry, and temperature-controlled.

• The source for the input pressure must be very precise, and certified for correct operation.

• The procedures should be done by qualified personnel.

Details of requirements and procedure are given in Table 4.

Output Calibration
The Loop Test procedure is intended as a check for continuity and condition of components in the output
current loop. The Loop Test procedure is given in Table 5.
The Trim DAC Current procedure calibrates the output of the Digital to Analog converter for minimum
(0%) and maximum (100%) values of 4 mA and 20 mA, respectively. This procedure is used for
transmitters operating on-line in analog mode, to ensure proper operation of the transmitter with all
associated circuit components (wiring, power supply, control equipment, etc). It is necessary to use
precision test equipment (an ammeter or a voltmeter in parallel with precision resistor). The Trim DAC
procedure is given in Table 6.
The Apply Values procedure uses actual Process Variable input levels for calibrating the range of a
transmitter. To measure a liquid level for example, a sight-glass can be used to determine the minimum
(0%) and maximum (100%) level in a vessel. The Process Variable is carefully adjusted to stable
minimum and maximum levels, and the LRV and URV values are then set by commands from the MC
Toolkit. The DE Apply Values procedure is given in Table 7.

This section contains procedures for using the MC Toolkit application software to communicate with
Honeywell and non-Honeywell Transmitters with HART communications protocol. In some cases, the
Honeywell transmitters differ somewhat from non-Honeywell transmitters, separate procedures are
provided as appropriate. It is recommended that you use SDC 625 application software when
communicating with non-Honeywell devices. For specific data relating to parameters involved in the

Procedural Considerations
The details of procedures vary with device type. This section contains a set of procedures for Honeywell
HART Transmitters, and separate set of procedures for non-Honeywell HART devices.

Input Calibration
Input calibration of transmitters should be done only when necessary, and should be done only under
conditions that will ensure accuracy:

• The transmitter should be taken out of service, and should be moved to an area with favorable
environmental conditions: clean, dry, and temperature-controlled.

• The source for the input pressure must be very precise, and must be certified for correct operation.

• The procedures should be done by qualified personnel.

For Honeywell HART devices, input calibration procedures are given in Table 12 through Table 14, and
for non-Honeywell HART devices, consult the manufacturer’s User Manual..

9/06
 MC Toolkit Software with Honeywell HART Transmitters

Output Calibration
The Loop Test procedure is intended as a check for continuity and condition of components in the output
current loop. The procedure for Honeywell HART devices is given in Table 15, and for non-Honeywell
devices consult the manufacturer’s User Manual.
The D/A Trim procedure calibrates the output of the Digital to Analog converter for minimum (0%) and
maximum (100%) values of 4 mA and 20 mA, respectively. This procedure is used for transmitters
operating on-line in analog mode, to ensure proper operation of the transmitter with all associated circuit
components (wiring, power supply, control equipment, etc). It is necessary to use precision test equipment
(a voltmeter and in-circuit resistor or an ammeter).
The procedure for Honeywell HART devices is given in Table 16, and for non-Honeywell devices consult
the manufacturer’s User Manual.
The Apply Values procedure uses actual Process Variable input levels for calibrating the range of a
transmitter. To measure a liquid level for example, a sight-glass can be used to determine the minimum
(0%) and maximum (100%) level in a vessel. The PV is carefully adjusted to stable minimum and
maximum levels, and the LRV and URV values are then set by commands from the MC Toolkit.
For Honeywell HART devices, the procedure is given in Table 17, and for non-Honeywell devices consult
the manufacturer’s User Manual.

This section contains procedures for using the SDC 625 application software to communicate to any device
with HART communications protocol. It is recommended that you use SDC 625 application software when
communicating with non-Honeywell devices. After double-clicking on the SDC 625 icon, the following
screen often appears. Choose “ignore”, it is an indicator that a configuration may have changed.

The following is the main screen for the SDC 625 application software. It is “Tree View” based solely on

As you browse through the “tree”, different values will appear in the bottom section of the main screen.
Since the DD (Device Description) file can be different for each field device, SDC 625 Main screen will
look different for many devices. Some field devices will require relatively few configurations commands
and therefore the main screen will have a simple structure. Other devices, which require more configuration
commands, will have a relatively complex main screen structure. The following table depicts the basic

 Reference Data

XML Database (Samples)

XML database files that can be exported from the MC Toolkit application to Documint (or other XML file
utility) includes thirteen items. The specific content of each file depends on the type of field device from which
it is exported, but the form of each item is the same for all devices.
Example:
<Field name="Bus Type">HART</Field>
<Field name="Parameter Name">Parameter Value</Field>
Two samples of XML files are given below - one for a Honeywell STT 3000 Smart Temperature Transmitter,
and the other for a non-Honeywell (or "generic") device by Smar.
An explanation of the parameters/values for each XML item is given in the table that follows the samples.

MC Toolkit Software Installation/Maintenance

MC Toolkit Software Installation/Maintenance

Overview
The MC Toolkit application software and SDC 625 application software, as well as all available HART
device Descriptions (DD), have been pre-loaded into the PDA’s memory chip at the factory. The MCT101
is ready to use once the necessary batteries (included) are installed in the DE/HART Modem and PDA. It is
recommended that you review the PDA manufacturer’s documentation for general use requirements such as
battery charging requirements and configuration options.
The MCT202 should be unpacked per the separate safety instruction sheet.
We have also included a CD-ROM that includes the MC Toolkit application software and SDC 625
application software, should you ever need to reload it.
To establish a partnership between your desktop PC and the PDA, follow the PDA manufacturer’s
documentation on how to install ActiveSync and establish a connection. The ActiveSync software is
provided on the PDA manufacturer’s CD-ROM disk, or it can be obtained directly from Microsoft at:
http://www.microsoft.com/pocketpc/downloads/activesync.asp

Note:
The handheld computer needs to be connected to the MC Toolkit Modem for the MC Toolkit software to
operate correctly. If the modem is not connected to the handheld computer, an error message will appear.
Use the short interface cable provided for this purpose.

DD Copier
The DD (Device Description) Copier can be used to place a Device Description (.fms file) into the right
folder in the MC Toolkit Device Description file structure.
1. Obtain the Device Description (.fms file) and place into an existing folder on the PDA. For
example, the. fms file could be placed in a folder on the Storage Card in File Explore. You can use
File Explorer to view folders/files.
2. Use File Explorer to find DD Copier. DD Copier will be in the following directory: My
Device\Storage Card\Honeywell SDC.
3. Selection DD Copier to open the program
4. Select File from the menu at the bottom, and select open.
5. Locate the stored .fms file from Step 1 above.
6. Select (highlight) the .fms file and select OK at the bottom of the screen. This will copy the .fms
file into the PDA’s Device Description file structure.
