Emerson Process Management has introduced communication options for the Micro Motion 2400S transmitter.
This sample code is available to the members of the Fieldbus Foundation as part of the HSE Packet Analyser Toolkit Professional (AT-442).
According to Stephen Mitchke, Fieldbus Foundation product manager, "The AT-442 gives developers a royalty-free, licensed sample source code to jump-start HSE device development".
John Berra, president of Emerson Process Management, said, "Emerson has long demonstrated its commitment to open interoperable standards from the donation of HART technology to the HART Communication Foundation - to our leading role as master editor of the original OPC specification and first president of the OPC Foundation - to our donations of DDL technology plus control-in-the-field patents to the Fieldbus Foundation.
Emerson will continue its dedication to develop open interoperable technologies for the value they deliver to process manufacturers".
"End-users employing Foundation fieldbus devices and permanently connected online asset management software need HSE performance," said Mitschke.
"As demand builds for HSE-based fieldbus solutions, manufacturers will not want to be left behind in the development of field devices and linking devices that utilise this advanced technology".
Previously, the Fieldbus Foundation released the AT-440 toolkit to expedite the development of HSE-based fieldbus products.
The AT-442 professional version retains the HSE packet analyser, HSE device implementation guide and sample HSE field device from the original toolkit, but also includes new, essential features that guide developers through the device development process.
These include simultaneous dual-port capture, an enhanced live list view with per device statistics, and a sample HSE stack source code.
A free demo of the AT-442 toolkit can be downloaded from www.fieldbus.org/at440demo.
An upgrade is also available for owners of the AT-440 Analyser Toolkit.
To purchase the AT-442 or an upgrade kit, or to receive a free demo CD by mail, please contact the Fieldbus Foundation. Request a free brochure from Emerson Process Management ...
