Embedded Host on commModule MBP for Handheld Tools

Foundation Fieldbus / Profibus PA Single-Channel Host Protocol Software

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.

Overview

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
