Analog I/O Modules offer HART protocol.
Press Release Summary:
Designed for seamless compatibility with ControlLogix(TM) and Experion PKS(TM), 8-channel modules provide full analog capability and HART (highway addressable remote transducer) Protocol. Products maximize I/O performance by combining real-time HART data acquisition with analog acquisition and control. As HART master, modules allow communication with HART field devices, which may be interfaced directly to module.
Original Press Release:
Spectrum Controls Releases Four New 8-Channel Analog I/O Modules with HART Protocol
Maximize performance with real-time data from process instrumentation and operate a smart network
February 3, 2003-Bellevue, Washington-Spectrum Controls, Inc., the leading manufacturer of hardware and software for the industrial controls marketplace, is pleased to announce the release of four new 8-Channel Analog I/O Modules with HART Protocol. These modules were specifically designed for seamless compatibility with Rockwell Automation's Allen-Bradley ControlLogix(TM) and Honeywell's Experion PKS(TM).
These new modules provide full analog capability and the added benefit of HART (highway addressable remote transducer) Protocol in just one I/O module. The Analog I/O Modules with HART Protocol maximize I/O performance by combining real-time HART data acquisition in conjunction with standard analog acquisition and control-at a fraction of the cost.
Each module also acts as a HART master, allowing communication with HART field devices. Field devices may be interfaced directly to the module, eliminating the expense of additional external HART bridge devices or hand-held communicators. When used in conjunction with an asset management system (AMS), the Analog I/IO Modules with HART Protocol provide configuration, calibration, diagnosis and troubleshooting of smart field devices from a desktop PC. This ability can increase product quality and minimize unplanned downtime, while improving the productivity and profitability of the process.
Spectrum Controls' Analog I/O Modules with HART Protocol reduce wiring and simplify maintenance. Setup is convenient and easy with support from programming software. The result is maximum data access with a low total cost-of-ownership.
