101-0007 MicroLink HART Protocol Modem USB Interface
MicroLink provides the hardware interface between Highway Addressable Remote Transducer devices (HART®) and a Windows® PC with a USB port. Universal Serial Bus (USB) drivers make MicroLink compatible with most software developed for RS232 serial port interface modems. MicroLink appears as an RS232 Com port to your software. Unlike using a USB to serial converter with an RS232 modem — MicroLink and included software drivers take care of timing and handshake issues unique to the HART protocol. A rugged design makes MicroLink an ideal choice for field engineers and technicians who service HART devices in an industrial environment. MicroLink is compatible with all certified HART devices and all leading HART configuration and monitoring software that us an RS232 serial port for the interface - PACTware is included free. MicroLink USB will appear in Windows as an RS232 COM port.
For a HART modem with an RS-232 interface see 101-0005.
