DevComDroid from Procomsol is the first Android-based Smart Device Communicator Application for HART instruments. The app uses the Device Descriptor (DD) for the connected HART device so the user has full access to every parameter and method. Combined with a Bluetooth HART modem, the app is a full-function HART Communicator. The entire DD Library from the HART Communication Foundation is included, and new DDs can be added very simply by the user. A HART communicator that uses DDs allows for the full configuration of valves, multi-variable devices and complex devices such as radar-level and Coriolis flowmeters. DevComDroid also allows the user to view and edit device parameters and even save all the device parameters as a PDF file. The PDF file can then be shared with anyone in the world via the mobile network connections in the Android device.
The Bluetooth wireless interface between the HART modem and Android device provides user safety and comfort. There are no wires to tangle or trip over. According to Jeffrey Dobos, president of ProComSol, Ltd., “Everyone is familiar with the convenience and power of smart phones in their daily life. This same power and convenience can now be applied to HART device functions in the plant. With just a few swipes of your finger, on hardware that fits in your pocket, full HART device configuration is now available. And saving and sharing HART device configurations is now faster and more convenient.”
The app is a mobile extension to ProComSol's line of HART communication products for the Process Control marketplace. Its DevCom2000 Smart Device Communicator, for example, lets users complete HART device configurations using a PC.
