Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) input and output modules provide your process automation system with the benefits of the HART protocol in an I/O module that can be used locally or remotely. The ControlLogix® modules offer 8 or 16 analog input or output channels with accompanying HART digital information. If you have a process application that contains HART field devices, the HART modules enable you to leverage your existing instrumentation investment by allowing you to:
• Connect directly to HART devices without external HART multiplexers or extra wiring
• Provide access to more field device data, such as HART Primary Value, Secondary Value, Third Value, Fourth Value with diagnostic and device status information
• Manage HART devices individually that are connected directly to the modules
• Document the device wired to each channel
The ControlLogix HART modules maximize your system performance by combining real-time analog data and HART data at a fraction of the cost. Simplify commissioning, operation and maintenance with increased insight to device status. You can use the digital data as the foundation of your asset management system.
