Appendix D
Connecting with ProLink II Software
D.1
Overview
ProLink II is a Windows-based configuration and management tool for Micro Motion transmitters. It 
provides complete access to transmitter functions and data.
This chapter provides basic information for connecting ProLink II to your transmitter. The following 
topics and procedures are discussed:
Requirements – see Section D.2
Configuration upload/download – see Section D.3
Connecting to a Model 2200S transmitter – see Section D.4
The instructions in this manual assume that users are already familiar with ProLink II software. For 
more information on using ProLink II, see the ProLink II manual. The manual is available on the 
Micro Motion web site (www.micromotion.com).
Menu flowcharts for using ProLink II with the Model 2200S transmitter are provided in Figures 2-2 
through 2-4.
D.2
Requirements
ProLink II v2.8 or later is required. In addition, you must have either the ProLink II installation kit 
appropriate to your PC and connection type, or the equivalent equipment. See the ProLink II manual 
or quick reference guide for details.
D.3
Configuration upload/download
ProLink II provides a configuration upload/download function which allows you to save configuration 
sets to your PC. This allows:
Easy backup and restore of transmitter configuration
Easy replication of configuration sets
Micro Motion recommends that all transmitter configurations be downloaded to a PC as soon as the 
configuration is complete. See the ProLink II manual for details.
D.4
Connecting from a PC to a Model 2200S transmitter
The Model 2200S transmitter supports only HART/Bell 202 connections. You can connect to the 
HART clips on the transmitter’s user interface or to a HART multidrop network.
