Softing smartLink SW-HT adds support for Turck and Siemens I/O

Tuesday, 28 November, 2023 | Supplied by: Softing Industrial Automation GmbH


A growing number of remote I/Os are using Ethernet instead of a fieldbus such as Profibus to connect to the controller. Softing’s smartLink SW-HT is designed to respond to this trend by providing an Ethernet connection to tunnel HART commands to the remote I/Os. It enables the use of remote I/Os from various manufacturers, including Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider Electric and R. Stahl. The latest version 1.40 extends the support to Siemens ET 200iSP and Turck excom remote I/Os.

Configuration and diagnostic data are accessed via Emerson’s AMS Device Manager or other HART IP-enabled plant asset management applications. smartLink SW-HT provides an Ethernet connection for tunnelling the HART commands to the remote I/Os. At the field level, smartLink SW-HT can be integrated easily and without risks, and the integration can be carried out during ongoing operations. No additional hardware is required in the process. The application thus makes it easier for users to implement open, standards-based and scalable system architectures. It also enables connectivity to be integrated into edge solutions managed by IT.
