The new analog input and analog output modules provide full analog capability with the added benefit of HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) Protocol in just one module. These Analog I/O Modules with HART Protocol maximize I/O performance by combining real-time HART data acquisition in conjunction with standard analog acquisition and control—at a fraction of the cost.

Each module also acts as a HART master, allowing communication with HART-enabled field devices. Field devices may be interfaced directly to the module, eliminating the expense of additional external HART bridge devices or hand-held communicators. When used in conjunction with an asset management system (AMS), the Analog I/IO Modules with HART Protocol provide configuration, calibration, diagnosis and troubleshooting of smart field devices from a desktop PC. This ability can increase product quality and minimize unplanned downtime, while improving the productivity and profitability of the process.

The Analog I/O HART modules seamlessly integrate with Honeywell’s new process platform—the Experion PKS automation system—which controls, monitors and manages complex control processes. Setup is convenient and easy with support from PKS programming software.  

Experion PKS was designed for global manufacturers and mill operators throughout the energy, chemical and pulp/ paper and printing industries to increase productivity, safety and profitability. As an integral component of Honeywell’s complete Process Knowledge Solution^TM suite of knowledge-driven applications, Spectrum Controls’ Analog I/O Modules with HART Protocol reduce wiring and simplify maintenance. The result is maximum data access with a low total cost-of-ownership.
