perform configuration and diagnostics of HART field devices using
third party software and the pass-through feature
The Smart Transmitter Interface Products create a communication interface
between programmable controllers and HART field devices. (See
Figure 1.10.)
The Smart Transmitter Interface is compatible with HART field devices
and with hand-held terminals capable of supporting the physical and data
link layers of the HART protocol.
Host computers can be any 100% PC compatible computers.
The following products have been tested in connection with the Smart
Transmitter Interface:
PLCĆ5 Family
PLC-5/11
PLC-5/15
PLC-5/20
PLC-5/25
PLC-5/30
PLC-5/40
PLC-5/60
PLC-5/250
You can connect one or more Smart Transmitter Interfaces directly to a
PLC-5 Remote I/O Port (in scanner mode) along with other I/O racks. In
addition, the Smart Transmitter Interface can also be connected to other
remote I/O scanner modules such as the 1771-SN I/O Subscanner module.
For details about which programmable controllers support the pass-through
feature, contact your A-B representative.
