isHRT USB

The interface isHRT USB is designed to provide a communication link between a desktop computer or PC notebook and the HART field device. The PC can be taken into the field and connected with the HART network within seconds thanks to the USB plug & play features. Mobile data acquisition as well as parameterisation are preferred operational areas.

The USB modem supports the HART specification standard. Its connector cable comes with a 2-pin terminal block to dual test clips. The modem can work as primary as well as secondary Master. The interface is available with opto-isolation to the HART network. The device isUSB-bus powered, thus not depending on external power supplies. The communication does not interfere with the normal operation of the field device. The interface is housed in a compact shell that attaches securely to the USB port.

The installation and configuration of the interface are done easily. With the included driver DLL user-specific applications can be integrated without expenses. Naturally the modem works together with the HART Server of the HART Foundation and with all current servers. Under Windows 2000 and XP the interface can work like a serial modem. Therefore it offers a serial COM-port so that already existing applications can be used without any changes.

Optionally a device type manager (DTM) is delivered. The DTM provides communication between devices on the HART bus and their DTMs. With its help set-up and configuration of the HART network can be done.
