General Description

The MicroLink 101-0032 is a USB to HART® protocol modem featuring standard 
DIN rail moun  ng. It provides the hardware interface between Highway 
Addressable Remote Transducer devices (HART) and a Windows

®

 PC with a 

USB interface. 

MicroLink is used for commissioning, diagnos  cs, monitoring, and tes  ng HART 

fi

 eld devices. Communica  ons direc  on control is handled internally so there 

is no need to control tricky request-to-send (RTS) handshake   ming, greatly 
simplifying so  ware development. 

Virtual serial port drivers allow the USB MicroLink modem to appear as an 
RS-232 com port to Windows and your HART so  ware for increased 
compa  bility. 

The DIN rail moun  ng clip is compa  ble with widely used 35 mm EN 50022 
rails. It can be snap mounted and removed from the moun  ng rail without tools 
for quick installa  on and servicing. A status LED provides con

fi

 rma  on of the 

transmi  ed and received HART packets to help you quickly troubleshoot your 
system and verify opera  on. Power is provided by the USB port so no external 
power supply is required.
