The new stack supports the latest HART® Protocol Revision 7.9 and has been verified with the FieldComm Group Test Suite Rev. 4.0. This provides MESCO with a state-of-the-art, practical solution for manufacturers looking to integrate HART functionality into new or existing field devices.
Efficient HART Integration into Embedded Systems
HART is a globally established communication protocol for industrial field devices and is used, among other applications, in pressure and temperature transmitters, flow and level measurement devices, analyzers, sensors, actuators, as well as pneumatic and electrical positioners.
The new MESCO HART Stack provides the central software foundation for integrating HART communication into custom devices. It supports various microcontrollers and HART modem components and is designed for optimized integration into modern embedded systems.
Comprehensive Support for HART Functions
The HART Protocol Stack Revision 7.9 includes, among other features:
- Support for the latest HART® Protocol Revision 7.9
- Verification with the FieldComm Group Test Suite Rev. 4.0
- Implementation of relevant FieldComm Group requirements
- Support for all Universal Commands
- Support for Common Practice Commands
- Templates for User-Specific Commands
- Preparation for Non-Volatile Memory (NVM)
- Support for various HART modem components
- Optimized integration into embedded systems
- Use in sensor and actuator applications
By providing essential HART functions as a ready-to-use software foundation, manufacturers can reduce their development effort and integrate HART communication into their product platforms more quickly.
From Software to a Certified Solution
MESCO supports companies not only with the HART Protocol Stack, but also throughout the development of HART-enabled field devices – from hardware and embedded software development through integration, pre-certification, and support during certification by the FieldComm Group.
For the development and testing of HART devices, MESCO operates its own test environment at the Fieldbus Competence Center. Among other capabilities, the Physical Layer, Data Link Layer, and Application Layer can be tested and validated there.
This gives manufacturers access to comprehensive HART expertise from a single source, helping them reduce development risks and accelerate the market launch of their HART-enabled devices.
