Emerson Process Management and OSIsoft have introduced the OSIsoft PI Connector for HART-IP, a link between HART field devices and OSIsoft’s PI System enterprise software infrastructure for managing streaming sensor data in real-time.
The PI Connector for HART-IP automatically and seamlessly maps wired and WirelessHART devices to the asset structure in the PI Server, eliminating effort and chances for error.
The PI Connector for HART-IP leverages the widely used PI System to serve up information to these application suites and enables end users to gain benefits from their intelligent field networks faster, more easily, and at lower overall cost.
The connector was jointly developed as an integral extension of OSIsoft’s capability. The PI Connector for HART-IP reduces the cost and effort needed to access and use information from Emerson’s Smart Wireless Gateways and HART multiplexers.
With the PI Connector for HART-IP, all of the necessary linkages populate to their respective applications automatically, giving the user instant access to valuable process and diagnostic information.
The software is based on the widely used Microsoft operating system and is both modular and highly scalable. It can run on its own server or on the PI System infrastructure hardware. Information from wireless gateways and multiplexers goes directly to the PI System and is not dependent on the plant’s basic process control system.
