Moore Industries BULLET® WirelessHART® Adapter for Use with Wired HART® Field Devices
The BULLET WirelessHART Adapter enables new and existing wired smart HART field devices, non-smart analog field devices and remote HART I/O from any supplier to communicate with host applications using WirelessHART technology.
Handles All Registered Smart HART “Digital” Devices—Using the industry-standard HART protocol, the BULLET can be used to transmit the primary, secondary, third and fourth variable process data from smart HART devices, valves and I/O, as well as HART instrument diagnostics, alarm data and custom commands.
Just one or up to eight* HART (multidropped) devices connect to a single BULLET making it an economical choice for sending multiple HART signals on a single wireless data link. The BULLET can be connected directly to a HART device or anywhere along the HART 4-20mA loop at a junction box. It supports both HART MESH and STAR network configurations.
Non-Smart “Analog” Devices Too—The BULLET accepts an analog (i.e., 4-20mA) signal and provides a proportional digital value in scaled engineering units at the opposite end of the data link through a WirelessHART gateway and, ultimately, to a host system. This is ideal for converting non-HART legacy analog instruments to wireless devices.
Loop- or DC/Battery-Powered—The BULLET can use existing loop-power (scavenging), or can be powered directly by a DC power supply, or by an external battery/solar system. When loop-powered, the BULLET saves on the long-term cost of battery maintenance, replacement and disposal programs. With external battery power, the BULLET provides battery power management by cycling the HART capable field device power, and taking and transmitting periodic process readings, and diagnostic and alarm data.
