HART Multi-drop Solutions from ProSoft Technology®
ProSoft Technology’s HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) multi-drop communication modules allow networks to access temperature, pressure and multi-variable units from up to 60 smart field devices using ProSoft Technology’s in-chassis modules and up to 120 devices using the ProLinx line of stand-alone gateways.
The HART modules provide access to temperature, pressure and multi-variable units, as well as, full access to digital configuration, diagnostics and maintenance information in each connected transmitter.ProSoft Technology’s HART Multi-drop Communication Solutions can be found in the following forms: inRAx for Rockwell Automation®: ControlLogix®, CompactLogix™, SLC™ 500, PLC-5® .jpg){kind=small}

ProLinx Gateways/Bridges: for such protocols as Modbus Master/Slave, Modbus Plus, Modbus TCP/IP, PROFIBUS DP, EtherNet/IP, DH-485, DF1 Master/Slave, and A-B Remote I/O Adapter. ProSoft Technology also offers a Wireless HART Multi-drop Gateway.HART modules are equipped with:
- Optimized for multi-drop field networks
- Read / Write Data
- 4-8 independent user-configurable HART master ports which can be user-configured as secondary masters (i.e. for handheld configuration devices)
- Supports available HART commands including Universal, Common Practice and Device-Specific commands
- Burst mode for faster update of data from a single slave (allows 3-4 data updates per second)
- Auto-polling (automatically senses and determines devices on the channel, allowing easy set-up and configuration)ProSoft Technology also offers other field support modules including the Honeywell DE communication modules featuring:
- Direct Connection to Honeywell DE Transmitters
- Single and Multi-variable support
- Supports up to 16 channels
