What is a HART interface used for?

HART interface can be used to temporarily attach fieldbus segments or HART loops for individual interaction with field devices for commissioning parameterization & maintenance for field devices.

What is a PROFIBUS interface used for?

A PROFIBUS interface can give an interference-free access to running plants and can be used to enable commissioning parameterization & maintenance for PROFIBUS PA field devices.

What is a FOUNDATION fieldbus interface used for?

FOUNDATION fieldbus interface can be used to temporarily attach fieldbus segments for individual interaction with field devices for commissioning parameterization & maintenance for field devices.
