HART-to-Wireless Adapter

SignalFire Wireless Telemetry, Marlborough, MA, introduced the Link Scout that wirelessly adapts to loop-powered 4-20mA HART® instruments for HART connectivity with asset management software. By tunneling HART traffic over the 900-MHz platform, the device allows users to configure, calibrate, and troubleshoot assets equipped with a HART-enabled instrument using DTM software. The HART-to-wireless adapter does not interfere with the operations of loop-powered devices as it is independently powered by a battery and wired in parallel with the existing signal.

Data Transceiver

The SCT2400 transceiver from CML Micro-circuits, Maldon, Essex, UK, is designed to sustain secure digital voice and data communication channels over ranges in excess of 12 km (line of sight). The integrated digital radio transceiver is based on spread spectrum modulation operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency range. The range of over 12 km with up to 100 mW of output power is achieved while consuming 10 mA in scan mode or 52 mA when receiving voice and 64 mA when transmitting voice.

I/O Modules

Acromag, Wixom, MI, offers The AP513 AcroPack I/O module based on the PCI Express mini card (mPCIe) standard with an isolated RS-232 communication module. It provides four individually isolated RS-232 serial ports on a 30 × 70-mm board. Each port is isolated to 250V from digital circuitry and 100V from the other three ports. The mezzanine modules deliver a SWaP-optimized solution for data collection, control, test, and simulation functions. A down-facing 100-pin connector securely routes the I/O through a carrier card without loose internal cabling.
