The Intelligent HART Gateway may be used as a HART Modem with industry standard Asset Management Software such as PACTware, FieldCare, FieldMate and other device management software, or as a HART to Modbus converter allowing SCADA, DCS, PLC or PC based systems the ability to read and write data to field instruments via a traditional Modbus interface. Communications with the HG1 is supported over Ethernet and Serial interfaces (RS232, RS422 and RS485) and both Modem and Modbus features maybe used simultaneously.
