HART Device Configuration
Overview
The Bedrock Field Device Tool (FDT) provides the capability to configure a
Bedrock Secure OSA Remote to interface to smart field devices that support the
HART Communication Protocol. This chapter provides information on the
following topics and tasks related to configuration of HART field devices:
•
overview of the Bedrock FDT, Bedrock DTMs and third-party
DTMs
•
enabling OSA Remotes for HART communication in the Bedrock
IDE
•
configuration of Bedrock hardware in the Bedrock FDT
•
configuration of third-party hardware in the Bedrock FDT
Intended Audience
The information in this section is intended for use by engineers, programmers,
and technicians who need to configure HART devices for use with Bedrock
Secure OSA Remotes.
HART Communication
Protocol
The HART Communication Protocol supports bi-directional communication
and provides a digital communication link between host systems and smart field
devices.
HART passthrough is supported using the Bedrock FDT. For a list of available
HART variables, see Appendix D, “HART Variables”. The Bedrock IDE
provides the ability to map HART variables to your control program.
For more information on the HART Communication Protocol, see the HART
Communication Foundation website (
Bedrock Field Device
Tool
The Bedrock Field Device Tool is a frame application based on FDT technology.
The tool provides users with the capability to configure devices that support the
HART Communication Protocol so that the devices can be used with Bedrock
Secure OSA Remotes. The Bedrock FDT allows the user to scan their
environment for network cards, OSA Remotes, and field devices. Additional
information on the Bedrock FDT can be found within the Bedrock FDT help
content.
Prerequisite for Custom
Certificates
If using custom certificates, ensure that the certificates are available before using
the Bedrock IDE. The Bedrock IDE and Bedrock FDT use the same certificates.
See “Customer-specific OPC UA Security Keys” for more information.
