APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AUTODETECTION OF HART DEVICES OVER PROFIBUS

摘要

A master device is configured to perform a method that includes receiving highway addressable remote transducer (HART) device data of a HART slave device connected to PROFIBUS RIO Slave. The method also includes identifying a device description (DD) file associated with the HART slave device using the HART device data that is collected automatically based on the PROFIBUS slave Profile index before even configuring the HART device in the system. The method further includes performing one or more device communication functions with the HART slave device to collect the data automatically.

1. A method comprising:
before a completion of a software configuration of one or more highway addressable remote transducer (HART) devices, scanning the one or more HART devices connected to a PROFIBUS remote IO slave device and collecting HART device data about a HART slave device to choose a device description (DD) file configuration from a controller; identifying a DD file associated with the HART slave device using the HART device data; and performing one or more device communication functions with the HART slave device.
