A growing number of new remote I/O devices are using Ethernet instead of PROFIBUS to connect to the controller. The smartLink SW-HT solution responds to this trend by providing an Ethernet connection to tunnel the HART commands to the remote I/Os. As the only software interface solution on the market, smartLink SW-HT enables the use of remote I/Os from various manufacturers, including Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider Electric and R. Stahl. The new version 1.40 extends the support to Siemens ET 200iSP and Turck excom remote I/Os.

Configuration and diagnostic data are accessed via Emerson's AMS Device Manager or other HART IP-enabled Plant Asset Management applications. It provides an Ethernet connection for tunneling the HART commands to the remote I/Os. At the field level, smartLink SW-HT can be integrated easily and without risks. This integration can even be carried out during ongoing operations, and no additional hardware is required in the process. The application thus makes it easier for users to implement open, standards-based, and scalable system architectures. It also enables connectivity to be integrated into edge solutions managed by IT.
