1.3 HART INTERFACE CARDS AND HART INTERFACE MODULES
The ROC or FloBoss and HART devices create a Host/Slave network. The ROC or FloBoss is the Host
and each HART device is a Slave. There are two ways to send and receive HART messages between a
ROC and HART devices, depending on the type of ROC/FloBoss and HART interface being used.
HART Interface Card — The way first uses one HART Interface Card installed in a:
♦ ROC306 or ROC312 with a ROCPAC, firmware version 1.10.
♦ ROC306 or ROC312 with a FlashPAC, firmware version 2.0 or 2.1.
HART Interface Modules — The second way uses one or more HART Interface Modules (sometimes
called HART I/O Modules or HART Modules) installed in a:
♦
♦
♦
♦
ROC312 with a ROCPAC, firmware version 1.10.
ROC364 with a ROCPAC, firmware version 1.70.
ROC312 or ROC364 with a FlashPAC, firmware version 2.0 or 2.1.
FloBoss 407 with firmware version 1.04 or 1.06.
NOTE
In the case of the ROC312, it is not possible to use both a HART Interface Card and
HART Interface Modules. One or the other must be chosen. Either option requires
the correct HART user program to be loaded into the ROC.
NOTE
ROCLINK Configuration Software is required when using a ROC with a
FlashPAC, or a FloBoss 407 with firmware version 1.06. For ROCs with a
ROCPAC or a FloBoss 407 with firmware version 1.04, either the GV101 or the
ROCLINK Configuration Software may be used.
NOTE
In most cases, the FloBoss 407 and ROC300-series units are identical in operation.
Unless otherwise noted, the descriptions and procedures in this manual apply to all
FloBoss and ROC types. In areas where the operation differs, the differences are
described.
