The HART multiplexer software smartLink SW-HT from Softing Industrial is a Docker container-based software application for accessing configuration and diagnostic data. It allows access to HART devices connected to remote I/Os that can be reached via Ethernet. No additional hardware is required. SmartLink SW-HT enables the use of remote I/Os from Allen-Bradley, Schneider Electric and R. Stahl. The current version 1.30 also supports ET200 remote I/Os from Siemens and the FDT DTM interface. Configuration and diagnostic data are accessed via Emerson's AMS device manager or other HART IP-enabled management applications. SmartLink SW-HT provides an Ethernet connection for tunneling the HART commands to the remote I/Os. Integration for smartLink SW-HT does not require a plant shutdown.
