5 Operating elements and display
The easy operating concept of the device makes it possible for users to commission the device
for many applications without a printed set of Operating Instructions.
The FieldCare operating software is a quick and convenient way of configuring the device. Brief
explanatory (help) texts provide additional information on individual parameters.

5.1.1 Local operation at the device

simultaneously for over 3 seconds.

Caution!
The device can assume undefined states while configuring with FieldCare! This can result in the
undefined switching of outputs and relays.
To configure the device with the FieldCare Device Setup software, connect the device to your
PC. You need a special interface adapter for this purpose, e.g. the Commubox FXA291.
The 4-pin connector of the interface cable must be plugged into the corresponding socket on the
rear of the device and the USB connector must be plugged into a free USB slot on the PC.
Connection establishment
To connect the device to FieldCare, proceed as follows:
1. Select the Communication DTM: "CDI Communication FXA291"
2. Set the baudrate: In the DTM settings, set the baudrate to 38400. This setting is not
mandatory, since the DTM automatically searches for the correct baudrate, the connection
establishment is faster this way, however.
