HART-IP Gateway, 4 to 16 Channels, Now Available

LAKEWOOD, Ohio USA / 09-09-2025

ROCKY RIVER, Ohio USA – September 9, 2025 – ProComSol, Ltd (www.procomsol.com) today announced the release of its new 4 to 16 Channel HART-IP Gateway.  This device allows the user to perform HART communications using the plant’s Ethernet network infrastructure.  According to Jeffrey Dobos, President of ProComSol, Ltd, “Adding a HART-IP based gateway to the existing plant HART network provides a low cost and convenient way to access HART field device data for IIoT applications”.

The HM-GW-x mounts on the marshaling cabinet’s DIN rail.  Channel options are 4, 8, 12, or 16.  The Gateway connects to the HART field devices anywhere in the control loop.  These loop connections are easily made in the marshaling cabinet so wiring effort is minimal.  When the HM-GW-x is connected to the plant Ethernet network, the HART data becomes accessible wherever the network is available.  HART-IP is a standard protocol for encapsulating HART commands into Ethernet (TCP/IP) packets for communications over Ethernet networks. 

The typical use case is to have a network connected PC running a HART-IP client that collects the measurement and status data from the HART instruments. This information can stay in the plant or be sent to the cloud for backup and ease of sharing. 

Several software products exist for this task.  ProComSol offers their popular DevCom HART Communicator software for Windows, Android, and iOS that can collect the data, and the user can access the HART device as if they were next to the device with a traditional HART communicator.  This eliminates the need to leave the control room to configure the field devices.  Since DevCom is DD based, all field device parameters are available, including Methods.
