SMAR LD-301 Intelligent Pressure Transmitter (HART Protocol) (U01)
OPC Server Data Sheet

Devices Supported: Model LD-301Intelligent Pressure Transmitter with Control Capability
Device Manufacturer: SMAR
Profile Name: LD301.PRO
Profile Built For: UOS
Platform: Windows NT4.0 / 2000 / XP
Interface Type: Serial: RS232
Max Devices Supported: 15
Protocol: HART
Comment: U01 is comprised of the Universal OPC Server (UOS) for Serial and TCP/IP Devices and the LD301.PRO device profile. The U01 mnemonic is used to identify this unique combination. UOS will also support many other serial or TCP/IP device profiles. Please refer to our web site for the current list.
UOS is a stand-alone OPC Server that can be used with any OPC compliant Client such as Intellution’s FIX® or FIX Dynamics® or OA’s Enterprise Automation software. UOS has many advanced features like: DataView, DataScope, Serial and TCP/IP communications support, and multiple "different" device support. Please refer to our web site for more information on UOS capabilities.

Introduction

This document provides general information on the device commands supported by UOS and the LD301.PRO profile. If you have installed UOS, you should also review the sections titled About the I/O Driver, How Do I…, Setting up The I/O Driver, and Using the PowerTool in the UOS electronic documentation. To get there, click on Help and Help Topics on the PowerTool menu bar. The PowerTool is a client application with a graphical user interface that accesses the UOS OPC Server and lets you view and modify communications channel, device, and datablock properties.

Interface Modules:
Device Manufacturer: ANSCO, PO Box 24069, Minneapolis MN 55424
Interface: PRIMM modem, Bell-202 modem for HART protocol, RS-232 port powered.
Comment: HART protocol devices such as the SMAR LD-301 Pressure Transmitter requires a modem between the computer serial port and the device network. A PRIMM modem manufactured by Ansco, Inc. was used during testing.
