New License-Free HART Handheld Configurator
Aug 14 2013
ABB’s (UK) new DHH805 lightweight handheld configurator significantly reduces the cost and complexity of configuring HART instruments in the field.
The DHH805 allows easy parameterisation of any manufacturer’s HART device provided its EDD (Electronic Device Description) is released from the HART foundation. There are no expensive license renewals as the EDDs necessary for the update can be downloaded directly from the HART foundation or a manufacturer’s website.
Device configurations can be created off-line, stored in the DHH805’s memory and uploaded to the device at another time.
Featuring ABB’s common HMI platform, the configurator can be powered up in less than 10 seconds. Its powerful battery provides 80 hours of continuous use before recharging.
The DHH805 is delivered with a Windows compatible PC-Tool that will notify users of firmware and software updates, which can be downloaded free of charge. With the DHH805 PC-Tool, users can activate and register their device; carry out EDD listing and uploading; and adjust configuration settings.
The device is fully certified for hazardous areas. Its 2 GB SD memory card can store up to 1000 HART EDDs, together with 200 separate device configuration files.
