HART Multiplexer Network

A HART multiplexer network requires:

• One serial communication port for each HART multiplexer network.

• An RS-485 converter (see the Release Notes for supported models).

• One of the following types of multiplexers or I/O:

— Arcom

— Elcon

— 8000 BIM

— Pepperl+Fuchs

— Spectrum Controls I/O (this is an I/O module that connects to an Allen-

Bradley Programmable Logic Controller - displays as a multiplexer in AMS

Device Manager)

See the Release Notes for additional requirements for specific types of multiplexers.

For more information about multiplexer networks, refer to KBA NA-0400-0084.

8000 BIM
