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.”
DevComDroid, in combination with a Bluetooth HART modem, is a full functioned HART Communicator. The entire DD Library from the FieldComm Group is included, and the user can add new DDs. A HART communicator that uses DDs can perform full configurations of valves, multi-variable devices and complex devices such as radar level and Coriolis flowmeters. The improved user interface is modern and intuitive and no training is required.
The Bluetooth wireless interface between the HART modem and Android device provides user safety and comfort and there are no wires to tangle or trip over. DevComDroid allows the user to view and edit device parameters and even save all the device parameters as a PDF file. The 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.
ProComSol was founded in 2005 and has become a leading provider of technically advanced, cost-effective communication solutions to the HART marketplace. The company also designs and manufactures RS-232, USB, and Bluetooth HART modems. In combination with the modems, the company’s Smart Communicator Software is used to convert a PC, tablet, or smartphone into a full featured, DD-based HART Communicator. Krohne is an authorised distributor for ProComSol.
