Fint’s DIN rail mounted protocol converters make HART and Modbus RTU transmitters communicate in a Profibus DP or Profibus PA network. The converters  support  Profibus PA profile 3.02 and NAMUR NE 107 diagnostics. The devices act as Modbus/HART  Masters and Profibus Slaves. Operation range is -40 C to 85 C.

You may connect up to 4 Modbus RTU/HART Slave instruments to each converter

Fint’s embedded protocol converter boards are designed for interfacing Modbus RTU and HART  transmitters to a PROFIbus PA network. For the Modbus version, there are options for using RS485, RS232 or pure CMOS UART communication.  The module reads up to four dynamic variables, the Primary Variables (PVs), from the instrument and converts these to dynamic variables on Profibus. Four Function Blocks are supported, each consisting of up to 32 bytes can be transferred in the cyclic frame. The software conforms to the PROFIbus PA 3.01 profile. Standard profile gsd files are used for communication purposes. If you need more functionality or a special lay-out, Fint’s design team doe the customization according to your particular specifications.
