June 17, 2012 – ProComSol released the COM-TABLET, a PC based HART Communicator on the Tablet PC platform. It includes the Tablet PC loaded with the DevCom2000 Smart Device Communicator Software. It also includes the HM-BT-BAT-ER Bluetooth HART Modem which adds wireless convenience. The entire kit is contained in a hard plastic carrying case for ease of transport to the work site.
The COM-TABLET is fully configured and ready to work right out of the box. No software to install or hardware to configure. Simply turn on the HM-BT-BAT-ER HART Modem, connect the modem to a HART device, and then tap the DevCom2000 icon on the touch screen. HART Communications start right away. The included DevCom2000 software comes pre-loaded with all of the DDs registered with the HART Communication Foundation.
This enables users to use DevCom2000 immediately without the need to download DD’s from various instrumentation suppliers. The included tablet PC utilizes the Windows 7 operating system. This allows the use of programs with an interface that is already familiar - such as Office, Outlook, and Internet Explorer. The full keyboard is detachable which makes it lighter and more mobile, but can easily be reconnected to enter data or write reports.
According to Jeffrey Dobos, President of ProComSol, Ltd, “The COM-TABLET offers a smaller, lighter, and cheaper way to perform HART Communications in the field. The touch screen interface and wireless Bluetooth adds further convenience. Imagine having the small size of a traditional handheld with the ability to enter data using a full keyboard or touch screen. It is the perfect marriage between a PDA and a full PC.” ProComSol, Ltd was founded in 2005 and has become the leading provider of technically advanced, cost-effective communication solutions to the HART marketplace.
The president, Jeffrey Dobos, has more than a decade of experience developing products with HART technology. The company designs and manufactures both USB and Bluetooth HART modems, and DevCom2000 communication software that can be used to convert a PC or PDA/Smartphone into a HART Communicator.
