HART APL Transmitter Module
(Preliminary)
Introduction
SES HART-APL module makes it easier to convert your existing HART transmitters to support Advanced Physical Layer interface and reap the benefits of a connected Field Device. If you are a HART Transmitter manufacturer and need help migrating your design to HART-APL, SES HART-APL module can be an easy migration path for your existing designs and Smart Embedded Systems can help you with the migration. The hardware design can be customized, and firmware can be modified for the customer’s features. SES can also provide design help to develop FDI package for the APL transmitter designs.
