softHART
Faster firmware development for HART enabled devicesSoftHART is the industry-standard smart HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer Protocol) communications stack for industrial automation. HART is a bidirectional protocol and communicates over existing 4-20 mA analog current loops, extending communication capabilities without the inconvenience of installing additional wiring.
SoftHART is fully compliant with the latest Revision 7.5 of the HART standard and runs on a very broad range of hardware platforms and operating systems.
Features
- Written in C language
- Supports existing processors from Texas Instruments, Microchip Technology and ARM®
- Can be ported to any processor or hardware platform
- Small footprint size and highly efficient requires only 40 KBytes program memory and 4 KBytes of RAM
- Supports point to point, multi-drop and burst modes.
- Highly customizable
- Reliable and robust enough for any industrial environment
- Royalty-free
