USB type-A Hart Communicator VCI10-UH

USB type-A Hart Communicator VCI10-UH is a HART® communication interface for PCs with USB type-A standard connection. HART® network connection, making commission, operation, maintenance and calibration processes, diagnosis and data acquisition easier for any HART® device can be done.

The interface can operate on network or stand-alone modes, supplying device with current or voltage. This characteristic is very useful in bench work or initial configuration, when the HART® network is not yet established. VCI10-UH works with low power, isolated and compatible with HART® 7 protocol. Its power is supplied by PC USB port, with no need for any kind of external power source.

Benefits:
 

• USB-powered
• Low consumption
• Electrically isolated
• HART® protocol compatible
• Enables to power HART® device in LOCAL mode
• Work with EDDL and FDT/DTM tools
• Mobility with USB on PC devices
• Powers device with Voltage or current
• Output:
• 24 Vdc or 3,9 mA
• Communication Load: Integrated 250 Ohm (for transmitters)
• Indicative LEDs inform communication status
• Simple and intuitive use
