HART Multiplexer Software to Access Configuration & Diagnostics Data

Interface software to access HART devices from Emerson’s AMS and other HART-IP enabled applications.

smartLink SW-HT is a HART multiplexer that provides a simple and fast access to HART field devices without additional hardware. It is a software interface solution for HART devices connected to Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider Electric, R.Stahl or Turck HART IO modules. The integrated HART-IP server enables transparent access to the HART devices.

smartLink SW-HT enables remote asset management, device configuration and monitoring. It allows to access device identification, health, diagnostics, and process data.

smartLink SW-HT | Software HART Multiplexer

Overview

Access HART devices without additional Hardware

Use the existing infrastructure to access the HART devices
No additional cost for HART multiplexer hardware
No installation and maintenance of additional Hardware
Optional routing of the communication to the Allen-Bradley and Schneider Electric remote I/Os through the controller

Highly scalable business model

Pay only for the HART devices connected with smartLink SW-HT
Scalable license model based on the number of HART devices to access
Try it with 1 HART device for free

Transparent HART communication

The HART commands sent to the HART-IP server are forwarded to the HART devices
No limitation on the supported HART commands
Uses the open HART-IP protocol
FDT Communication DTM for the integration into FDT applications

Easy deployment

Easy to use on a Windows workstation with the VM deliverable
Web based configuration software is included in the container
