The new ProLinx 6000 Wireless HART Gateways from ProSoft Technology use a digital HART to wireless interface to bring high-speed connectivity to HART smart field devices

The new ProLinx 6000 Wireless HART Gateways from ProSoft Technology use a digital HART to wireless interface to bring high-speed connectivity to HART smart field devices, and enable the sharing of data between these devices "over-the-air".

The WA-HART Gateway utilises the proprietary ProSoft Wireless Protocol (PWP), which allows different industrial networks and protocols to share process and status data with a secure wireless connection.

The protocol driver is capable of supporting the HART protocol as a Master on up to 8 channels per gateway, each of which is individually configurable for point-to-point or multi-point applications and asynchronous from the network, providing a great deal of flexibility.

All ProLinx gateways are stand-alone, DIN-rail mounted, and aluminium-cased for maximum durability in the most extreme conditions.

For extended distances, the WA-HART can be used in conjunction with the RLX-500, a bi-directional Amplifier, which extends wireless distance up to 20 miles.

Other ProSoft Technology RadioLinx accessories include: antennas, cables and adapters.

The ProSoft Technology WA-HART Gateway functions as a wireless client, providing an ultra-fast, secure and reliable solution ideal for users who:.

* Need access to flow and process variables from HART devices (such as oxygen, pH, digital I/O, analogue I/O, flow or temperature gauges/meters/transmitters).

* Need an intrinsically safe network (such as Oil, Gas, and Petrochemicals).

* Would benefit from wireless capabilities.

Additional Products for the Oil and Gas Industry:.

In-chassis flow computers for Allen-Bradley or Schneider Electric.

* Modbus (Master/Slave, Plus, and TCP/IP) in-rack modules and gateway.

* RadioLinx 2.4 GHz Frequency Hopping or Industrial Hotspot modems.

* Wireless HART Multidrop Applications.

The Wireless ProLinx module offers one-to-one or one-to-many HART Multidrop interconnect scenarios.

It provides the "backbone" communication for various field devices using different networks including the following combination of applications:.

* Wireless extension of HART networks.

* Connection to multiple HART wireless remote device networks.

* Communication between multiple and separate networks.

* Connection between multiple wireless remote device networks to SCADA or any central system.

Certifications Include: UL, UL/C, CE, and ATEX.
