Mobile solution for configuration and parameterisation of field devices in the process industry
The combination of Softing‘s mobiLink interface with the Field Xpert SMT70 or SMT77 Tablet PC from Endress+Hauser offers users a simple and safe system solution for configuring and parameterising field
devices for the most important process automation protocols – HART, PROFIBUS PA and FOUNDATION
Fieldbus.
The bundle includes a Field Xpert SMT70 or SMT77 tablet with pre-installed CommDTMs (HART,
PROFIBUS PA and FOUNDATION Fieldbus), a mobiLink interface that establishes the connection to the
tablet via Bluetooth, and optionally a license to use mobiLink for the configuration of FOUNDATION Fieldbus
and PROFIBUS PA field devices. mobiLink is now available from Endress+Hauser under the name FieldPort
SFP50.
Dr. Rolf Birkhofer, CEO of Endress+Hauser Digital Solutions: “mobiLink is seamlessly integrated into our
Field Xpert, which can be used as a powerful Tablet PC for device configuration in Zone 2, Zone 1 or in nonexplosive areas. It provides easy access to all field instruments and is a simple, touchable tool that allows
field instruments to be managed throughout their lifecycle.”
Peter Juengling, key account manager at Softing Industrial: “We are proud to be able to look back on a longstanding partnership with Endress+Hauser. We already offer a range of interface products that connect to
the Field Xpert SMT70 or SMT77 tablet for device configuration and to Endress+Hauser’s FieldCare SFE500
Plant Asset Management Software. With mobiLink we simplify mobile access to field devices for plant
operators, system integrators, device developers and other users in the process industry. Together with the
Ex-certified tablets from Endress+Hauser, we now have a cost-effective and easy-to-use all-in-one solution.
