Built with a high-performance ARM microprocessor and a dedicated HART protocol modem chip, the SM100-M-16 HART data collector is a highly stable and reliable solution for industrial applications. It is engineered to bridge the gap between HART-enabled intelligent instruments and standard industrial control systems. By utilizing a standard RS485 interface and an integrated gateway, it facilitates real-time data transmission by converting data into MODBUS_RTU or MODBUS_TCP protocols, or by providing transparent communication with HART devices.
The device leverages the Bell202 Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) standard to superimpose digital signals onto the traditional 4-20 mA analog signal. This enables bidirectional digital communication without any interference to the analog current, making the SM100-M series an essential intelligent converter for modern industrial data acquisition and modulation.
