Moore’s HCS converts HART digital protocol to Modbus RTU

Moore Industries reports that its HART Concentrator System (HCS) converts a HART digital signal to a serial (RS-485) Modbus RTU communication protocol. This permits up to 16 smart HART-capable transmitters and valves to interface with Modbus-based monitoring and control systems.

Moore Industries reports that its HART Concentrator System (HCS) converts a HART digital signal to a serial (RS-485) Modbus RTU communication protocol. This permits up to 16 smart HART-capable transmitters and valves to interface with Modbus-based monitoring and control systems.

HCS interfaces all HART parameters to Modbus. This includes ability to monitor primary and non-primary (second, third, and fourth) process variables from smart multivariable mass flow, pressure, pH, and temperature transmitters; Coriolis, magnetic, ultrasonic, and vortex flow meters; radar and hydrostatic level transmitters; valve positioners; and damper operators.

HCS also allows monitoring by a Modbus system of HART instrument diagnostics using field device status byte data available in HART’s digital information.
