Product Overview
The HCS/HART/MB485/9-30DC is HART Concentrator System (HCS), a dedicated protocol converter developed by Moore Industries. It acts as bidirectional gateway to convert HART digital signals from field transmitters into Modbus RTU data over RS-485 bus.
It can read primary variable (PV), secondary variables and comprehensive diagnostic data from HART instruments (pressure/temperature transmitters, positioners). Modbus master controllers (PLC/DCS) can directly access all HART measurement and fault information without handheld communicator on site.
Configuration is completed via dedicated Windows PC software. It supports continuous instrument health monitoring, sensor fault detection, and remote parameter modification of HART field devices. Control & instrument engineers deploy this gateway to integrate legacy HART instrumentation into Modbus-based automation architecture, avoiding large-scale replacement of field sensors during plant upgrade.
Application Scenarios
- Petrochemical Refinery Process Units: Collect multi-variable data from HART pressure, flow and temperature transmitters, transmit data to Modbus PLC monitoring system.
- Natural Gas Processing & LNG Plants: Real-time monitoring of HART valve positioners and process analysers, support remote diagnostics of field instruments.
- Thermal & Combined Cycle Power Plants: Connect boiler & BOP HART transmitters to Modbus-based auxiliary control systems.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment Plants: Integrate HART level and flow transmitters into distributed Modbus control network.
- Pharmaceutical & Chemical Batch Facilities: Centralized monitoring of HART sanitary instruments inside classified production areas.
