A new Hart master driver option enables Sixnet's IPm line of embedded Linux based controllers and RTUs to gather variables and other data directly from Hart-compatible smart transmitters and devices.
The SXIPM-Hart is a new Hart master driver option that enables Sixnet's IPm line of embedded Linux based controllers and RTUs to gather variables and other data directly from Hart-compatible smart transmitters and devices.
The SXIPM-Hart software module puts variables and transmitter data into the Sixnet IPm I/O registers, making transmitter data directly available to applications running in the IPm unit (such as IEC61131 programs and Sixlog data logging), or other networked Sixnet devices through the standard peer-to-peer capabilities of Sixnet controllers.
The Hart data are also universally available as Modbus I/O registers using the Modbus master and slave drivers resident in all Sixnet controllers and RTUs.
Current compatible Sixnet product applications for the SXIPM-Hart software are the SixTrak IPm Open DCS controller, VersaTrak IPm Open remote terminal unit, and the OEM/Linux model SixTrak I/O controller.
SXIPM-Hart is a Linux based application that integrates with the IPm unit's embedded Linux firmware, and can be installed and configured using Sixnet's easy to use Windows utilities.
SXIPM-Hart can be purchased directly through Sixnet's web store.
