Embedded Host on commModule MBP for Handheld Tools

The commKit Host solution provides Foundation Fieldbus (FF) H1 Host and Profibus PA Master protocol software designed for Softing’s commModule MBP to be integrated into customer-specific hand-held tools. It supports the main range of FF / PA protocol features and allows very fast implementation of client systems.

Investment Protection due to Combination of Key Advantages

• Combination of high-performance portable FF-H1 Host Stack rsp. Profibus Master Stack with the widely known industry-proven commModule MBP hardware
• Deployment of compatible modules releasing the customer from component availability issues and obsolescence management

Fast Time-to-market

• Universal piggyback solution for protocol implementations reduces the time-to-market to a minimum
• The hardware is ATEX certified and has already passed the Physical Layer Tests for the fieldbus interface.

Extended Functionality

• Access to MBP networks within the field level by using an FF and / or PA enabled host application
• Direct connection to MBP based networks and thus instantaneous access to FF or PA devices

Easy of Use

• The built-in easyAPI dramatically reduces effort and required protocol know how especially for FF host applications
• Support in developing or acquiring individual host applications
• Both protocols are stored in parallel on the module and can be selected by initialization command at system startup
