STAHL HART
A STAHL HART Interface supports STAHL systems that communicate with HART field
devices. AMS Device Manager can read and write device information through existing
plant wiring by communicating with multiple devices through the STAHL network.
Various STAHL systems can coexist on a single STAHL network.
Preparing the STAHL system
No additional steps are needed to prepare the STAHL network for communication
with AMS Device Manager. After configuring the STAHL HART interface, AMS Device
Manager scans the STAHL network to determine its configuration and connected
HART devices. Refer to the STAHL documentation for device connection and network
setup instructions.
Configuring AMS Device Manager for a STAHL HART
Interface
To configure AMS Device Manager for a STAHL network interface:
1. Select Start > All Programs > AMS Device Manager > Network Configuration
from the Windows taskbar.
2. In the Network Configuration dialog, click Add.
3. In the Select Network Component Type dialog, select Stahl Network and click
Install.
4. Follow the prompts in the Add Stahl Network Wizard (see “Configuration
notes” on page 98).
5. Start AMS Device Manager to determine the network structure. See
“Determining the system interface structure and device data” on page 108.
Configuration notes
• The STAHL network may need to be set to Secondary HART Master if the control
system is set to Primary HART Master.
Note
The HART master selection for HART multiplexers, as shown in their Configuration
Properties, must match this setting.
