Greater Flexibility and Interoperability in Accessing HART Data

smartLink SW-HT is a software solution that acts as an advanced HART multiplexer. It provides standardized, vendor-independent access to configuration and diagnostic data from HART field devices via Ethernet – without the need for additional hardware components.

Version 1.42 adds support for Emerson AMS Device Manager as a HART IP-enabled PAM application. In addition, the list of supported remote I/O modules has been significantly extended:

• SIMATIC CFU CIO HART
• 7 additional modules of the Siemens ET 200SP HA series
• Allen-Bradley 1794 Flex I/O with 5 modules
• 8 additional modules of the Allen-Bradley 1756 and 5094 series

Unique Solution for Diverse System Landscapes

smartLink SW-HT is currently the only solution on the market that enables HART data access for both PAM and Field Device Tool (FDT) applications — across remote I/O systems and controllers from manufacturers such as Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Schneider Electric, R. Stahl, and Turck.

The software can be quickly and easily installed on separate computers and allows parallel access to multiple devices. Integration takes place directly at the field level – securely and without interrupting ongoing operations. The structured display of the remote I/O hierarchy within asset management systems also simplifies navigation and increases operational efficiency – especially in complex, large-scale process environments.
