DCM-2 HART INTERFACE
 
Configuration and Setup
 
All drives are shipped completely configured 
to the customer’s specifications and are ready 
to be installed.  If the need arises to change 
the configuration of the drive (i.e., change 
one or more of the setup parameters that 
define how the drive operates), this may be 
accomplished utilizing the HART
®
 interface 
and a communications tool (model 275 or 375 
HART
®
 Communicator) as described in the 
Communications section of this manual.  This 
section of the manual covers how the drive is 
configured and gives instructions for changing 
each particular setup parameter available.  It 
is intended to build upon the Communications 
Section, which provides a detailed description 
of the HART
®
 Menu Tree and defines all the 
parameters and commands.  If unfamiliar with 
the HART
®
 communicator and Beck drives, 
please review the Communications section 
before proceeding.
 
There are a number of configuration setup 
parameters that can be changed to custom tailor 
the drive’s operation to the application needs.  The 
remainder of this section provides instructions 
for changing each of these parameters.  The 
instructions below assume that the user has a 
model 275 HART
®
 Communicator attached to the 
Demand wiring (at drive terminals AA and BB or 
anywhere across the wires all the way back to the 
source of the Demand signal), has established 
communications with a particular drive, and has 
a copy of the HART
®
 Menu Tree (Figure 1, page 
34) available. 
DRIVE SHAFT TRAVEL
 
Drive shaft travel refers to the direction the 
output shaft of the drive moves in response to 
an increasing Demand input signal.  The travel 
is either clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise 
(CCW).  The control loop operation and physical 
design of the final control element determine 
the drive travel suitable for an application.  If 
the drive travel needs to be changed, this is 
easily accomplished by changing the DCM-2 
configuration.  
Changing Drive Shaft Travel
 
STEP 1
 - From the HART
®
 communicator 
“Online” menu, move to the “General Setup” 
menu and select the “Drive Dir” parameter. This 
is accomplished by using the up and down arrow 
keys to select the appropriate item in each menu 
and then moving forward by pressing the right 
arrow key.  Follow the Menu Tree (Figure 1, page 
34) to navigate.
 
STEP 2
 - With the “Drive Dir” parameter 
selected, press the right arrow key to display the 
two entry choices: “CW incr” and “CCW incr”.  
Use the up and down arrow keys to select the 
desired parameter. 
 
STEP 3
 - With desired parameter selected, 
push the F4 function key, which is defined as the 
ENTER
 key at the bottom of the display.  Pushing 
this key enters the value and reverts the display 
back to the “General Setup” main menu.
 
STEP 4
 - At the bottom of the “General Setup” 
menu, the F2 function key should now be defined 
as the SEND key.  Push this key to execute the 
change.  
WARNING
Carefully follow the on-screen warnings 
and messages when proceeding, because 
changing this parameter will cause the drive 
to reposition.  This can adversely affect the 
process and cause potentially dangerous 
conditions.
STEP SIZE
 
The step size is the incremental movement 
of the drive shaft in response to signal changes.  
The step size is factory set at 0.15% unless 
otherwise specified at the time of order.  The step 
size is adjustable from 0.1% to 2.5%.  To adjust 
the step size, please follow the steps below. 
Changing the Step Size
 
STEP 1
 - From the HART
®
 communicator 
“Online” menu, move to the “General Setup” 
menu and select the “StepSize” parameter. This 
is accomplished by using the up and down arrow 
keys to select the appropriate item in each menu 
and then moving forward by pressing the right 
arrow key.  Follow the Menu Tree (Figure 1, page 
34) to navigate.
 
STEP 2
 - With the “StepSize” parameter 
selected, press the right arrow key to display the 
modifiable entry box, and using the alphanumeric 
keypad, type in the desired dead band value.  
Values between 0.1% and 2.5% are valid.
 
STEP 3
 - With the desired value correctly 
typed into the entry box, push the F4 function key 
which is defined as the ENTER key at the bottom 
of the display.  Pushing this key enters the value 
and reverts the display back to the “General 
Setup” main menu.
 
STEP 4
 - At the bottom of the “General Setup” 
menu, the F2 function key should now be defined 
as the SEND key.  Push this key to execute the 
change.
