 What about IO-link ?

IO-link is a communication interface especially designed for the sensors and actuators at the lowest field level.

It allows to communicate easily with smart devices, adding new and well adapted functionalities for operating, installing and maintenance.

Thus, it is not a field bus nor a sensors and actuators network, but can work with the most widespread industrial network, filling a gap where they find their limits.

 What is a HART modem ?

Basically, a HART modem is an interface used to exchange datas between a terminal and instrumentation devices over a current loop, according to the HART standard.

The HART modem modulates and demodulates the datas over the current loop used for the measurement signal. To do that, you have to know how cabling the wires of the HART modem.

The purpose of the HART modem is to exchange datas with measurement sensors to make easier the installation and the maintenance of devices.

A HART modem can be used to connect a terminal with a local instrumentation device, or to connect a terminal with a remote device over ethernet using the virtual serial port technology.
