Intelligent HART Gateway

Description

The Intelligent HART Gateway may be used as a HART Modem with industry standard Asset Management Software such as PACTware, FieldCare, FieldMate and other device management software, or as a HART to Modbus converter allowing SCADA, DCS, PLC or PC based systems the ability to read and write data to field instruments via a traditional Modbus interface. Communications with the HG1 is supported over Ethernet and Serial interfaces (RS232, RS422 and RS485) and both Modem and Modbus features maybe used simultaneously.

General Features

• Supports for point to point or multi-dropped loops

• Compact size
• Low power

Advanced Features

• Bus extender mode
• Supports IPv6 networking
• SSL secure connections†
• Device health monitoring†
• Data logging and archiving†
• Email alerts and reporting†
• File transfer using ftp†
• Cloud device management†
• Remote access and configuration

Modem Features

• RS232, RS422 and RS485 two wire interface
• Virtual serial port over Ethernet interface
• Automatic RTS control
• Automatic support for multi-master environments
• Compatible with common packages such as PACTware

Modbus Features

• Modbus over Ethernet (TCP/IP)
• Modbus over serial (RS232, RS422, RS485)
• Supports multiple simultaneous Modbus TCP/IP connections
• Simultaneous Serial and Ethernet Modbus connections
• Supports all mandatory and common practice HART commands
• Read or write any transmitter variables via Modbus registers
• Supports device specific HART commands
• Can be configured as primary or secondary master
• Control over HART bandwidth usage to ensure critical data is obtained preferentially
• Automatic generation of Modbus maps suitable for direct import into Excel or SCADA systems

The DIN rail mounted HG1+ is rugged, compact and low power, making it an ideal solution for applications wanting to exploit the many advantages of Smart field instrumentation.
