ICP DAS HART integration devices

ICP Electronics Australia has expanded its range of HART integration solutions with a range of HART converters, gateways and remote I/O modules from ICP DAS.

HART Field Communications Protocol extends the 4-20 mA standard to enhance communication with smart field instruments. The protocol preserves the 4-20 mA signal and enables two-way digital communications to occur without disturbing the integrity of the 4-20 mA signal. Unlike other communication technologies, the HART protocol can maintain compatibility with existing 4-20 mA systems with a backward-compatible solution.

ICP DAS has developed a range of products, including HART converters, HART gateways and HART I/O modules. The HART converter can be used to access HART devices via COM, USB or ethernet interfaces. The HART gateway can integrate HART communication to different protocols such as Modbus and Profibus. The HART I/O module can be used to access or control HART devices directly.

These devices allow users to easily and quickly integrate HART devices allowing data acquisition into SCADA, HMI or PLC systems. This design feature allows users to widely integrate this device into a number of applications such as remote data acquisition, control, process automation, and factory automation.
