Dilli Posts: 122 Rating: (1)	Hello here! Need some help, who can suggest a solution to visualize value of transmitter FUS060 through HART protocol, could I use HART-MODEM WITH USB- INTERFACE 7MF4997-1DB ? Can this modem work with WinCC flex for example ?

The FUS 060 is available with Profibus PA (which takes the place of the 4-20mA primary output), but the FUS 060 has either HART or Profibus, where either is mutually exclusive of the other on any given device, meaning it's one or the other, not both. Profibus PA is not listed as compatible protocol (pg 218, SIMATIC HMI WinCC flexible 2008 Compact / Standard / Advanced User's Manual, 07/2008, A5E01024750-02 ), whereas Profibus DP is. I'm not a Profibus guy, so I can't tell you how Profibus PA-to-DP conversion is handled. But even if it is, it sounds like your flow meter has analog Hart, not Profibus PA. I searched the 4 or 5 documents that I have for WinCC for the term "hart" and "HART" got zero hits. From that, I conclude that in its native state, WinCC is not HART compatible. The same list of protocols that lists Profibus DP includes Modbus (page 218, above) One method to read HART data might be to use a HART to Modbus converter and have WinCC read it in Modbus - the Moore Industries HCS Hart-to-Modbus converter box; http://www.miinet.com/products/sg_hart.shtml - GIE SA's Hart-to-Modbus converter; http://hartmodbus.giemdp.com.ar/

It is posible to use our HRT2MDB Hart to Modbus protocol converter as a concentrator to read once a second the four dynamic variables or up to eight of the device variablesof any hart device and then get them from any Modbus OPC Server o SCADA software. In http://hartmodbus.giemdp.com.ar you will find my contact data for any question or further assistance.
