AI845 HART failure
Hi everybody,
i am trying to connect [System 800xA 5.1 FP4] using HART along with AI845 to a pressure transmitter [ABB 216GS], but i get the following error :
"Connect to HART device failed : Modulebus Error"
Everything is setup by the book i.e. according to 800xA Manuals [i hope ?]
Any suggestions ?

Check bus address in Property Management aspect of AI845 module. It should be same as its position in Control builder.
However there could be several other reasons for it to not work, you need to provide more details.

1. Have you enabled the Tool Routing Service on your controller ?.
2. when do you get this error at "Enable communication" or at "reading the device"
Need more information to help. Try to post a snapshot of the error.
Hi again,
thanks for your help.Now let me describe the problem and the solution :
1. i had build a hardware structure i.e. a CPU and some IO modulebus cards
2. AI845 IO original position was 5
3. later on using Control Builder i removed some IO cards and moved up AI845 at position 2
4. when i try to connect using HART i got the message "Connect to HART device failed : Modulebus Error"
5. i found out that the position of AI845 in aspect 'Property Management' was 5 and not 2 [the correct]
6. i removed AI845 and imported again and everything worked fine [the position of AI845 in aspect 'Property Management' was correct ]
thanks again for your help :)
best regards
Ok, now this might be your solution. Contact your ABB support line they will provide you the "Fieldbus Aspect Validator" to fix the problems with your fieldbus aspect.
If this is still in project level, try to create a new controller and follow the steps you will be able to connect.
