KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 28 (Bernama) -- Azbil Corporation has announced the release of the Smart HART Modem model AZ-1SHM (1SHM), which facilitates the configuration and adjustment of HART® communication–compliant field devices at plants and other manufacturing sites.

The 1SHM was launched in Japan and other regions on Oct 20, according to a statement.

A HART modem is a digital communication interface device for setting up and configuring HART communication–compliant field devices such as sensors and valves (HART devices), which are installed in large numbers at manufacturing sites.

In a new or expanded plant or during shutdown maintenance, maintenance personnel connect a host device via HART modems to HART devices to configure various parameters.

In some cases, a problem related to wiring, connection environment, device compatibility or the power supply may prevent a connection.

The new 1SHM solves these problems. In addition to communication interface functions, it is equipped with functions to identify the cause of communication problems during configuration and setup.

It also has wireless connectivity and a power supply function, allowing more efficient and safer maintenance.

Since the modem can be used with Azbil’s and other companies’ HART devices, maintenance workers can safely and quickly handle communication problems using a single 1SHM unit.

Azbil Corporation, formerly known as Yamatake Corporation, is a leading company in building and industrial automation.
