isNet H@rt

Description HART-Ethernet-Gateway for setup, diagnosis and maintenance.

With the new isNet H@rt Module the main module isNet Cube can be extended to work as an HART-Ethernet-Gateway. The HART-Ethernet-Gateway is an up-to-date option to replace the widely used RS485 HART multiplexer solutions as it enables the direct connection to the existing data network of a plant.

As every channel provides its own modem, the very low data transfer rates often found in multiplexer solutions can now be The isNet H@rt modules are equipped with either four (single width) or eight (double width) channels. Up to five HART modules can be connected to the main module, so a maximum of 40 HART channels can be operated in parallel. Every channel provides galvanic decoupling from the HART line. Access to the HART network is achieved by 8 plug-in screw-type terminals.

Access to the data network is achieved by the RJ45 Ethernet connector in the main module. Its 100BASE-TX Ethernet port supports transfer rates of 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s.

Software The modules can be accessed via the isHRT CommDTM from ifak system. The DTM integrates the gateway into every FDT-frame application. To integrate already existing applications that rely on a multiplexer architecture a virtual COM-port was implemented that provides access to such solutions as AMS® or the HCF server.
