Description:
The PCB converts existing HART transmitters to the new Ethernet Advanced Physical Layer (APL) interface. The PCB offers an easy migration path for existing HART Transmitters. The PCB can be modified to incorporate custom features or size requirements (see
HART-APL-DEV).
Features and Benefits:
• Easily convert existing HART Transmitters to APL
• Can also quickly design “direct to APL” transmitters without HART
• Works with SLAA Class APL devices
• APL connection supplies power so no external power supply needed
• HART-IP protocol support included
• Small Form factor, 2.5” x 2.5” (63mm x 63mm)
• Low power consumption for integration into Hazardous Area designs
• External Analog I/O for connections to external sensors or other peripherals
• I2C and SPI flash available for device logs, DD file, FDI package, and other additional data
• Secure firmware updates for easy development updates
• Complete documentation and support
