Krohne introduces ProComSol smart communicator app

August 2016 Industrial Wireless

ProComSol has announced the release of a major update to its DevComDroid app, an Android-based smart device communicator application for HART instruments. The app uses the Device Descriptor (DD) for the connected HART device so the user has full access to every parameter and method. According to Jeffrey Dobos, president of ProComSol, “This update has significant user interface improvements that make it even easier to configure HART instruments in the field. With just a few swipes of your finger, on hardware that can fit in your pocket, mobile HART device configuration continues to get easier and faster.”

The Android app (DevComDroid), in combination with a Bluetooth HART modem, is a full functioned HART communicator. The entire DD library from the FieldComm Group is included. New DDs can be added very simply by the user. A HART communicator that uses DD’s can perform full configurations of valves, multi-variable devices, and complex devices such as radar level and Coriolis flow meters. The improved user interface is modern and intuitive. No training is required.

The Bluetooth wireless interface between the HART modem and Android device provides user safety and comfort. There are no wires to tangle or trip over.

DevComDroid allows users to view and edit device parameters and even save all the device parameters as a PDF file. The PDF file can then be shared with anyone in the world via the mobile network connections in an Android device. Saving and sharing HART device configurations is now faster and more convenient.
