CHAPTER 1:
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Introduction
the H@rt BluePack is a versatile interface which supports wire-
less (Bluetooth) and wired (USB) access to a HART network. It
can be employed as an up-to-date replacement for the still widely
used RS-232-HART modem solutions. Additionally to its
modem capabilities the H@rt Blue- Pack runs an embedded
HART master stack.
The active HART master stack guarantees compliance with the
HART timing requirements regardless of the speed of the PC
host application or the data transmission quality between the host
and the Bluetooth device. This can be of considerable advantage
if using the interface in multi-master environments or in connec-
tion with burst-mode slaves. The stack can be configured to work
as primary or secondary master.
The interface can be powered via the USB connection or 3
replaceable AAA cells. If operating in battery mode it can be
powered down by a push-button. To increase the life span of the
batteries the device switches to sleep mode if no Bluetooth com-
munication takes places. The activity on the HART network is
indicated by an LED. Access to the HART network is achieved
by two test clips.
Hardware Installation the H@rt BluePack

Figure 1: HART interface the H@rt BluePack
The interface supports the transmission speed of 1200 bit/s and
can work as primary Master as well as secondary Master. The
interface is available with galvanic-isolation to the HART net-
work. The device comes with a Windows DLL which allows the
easy integration of the modem into any applications.
The device can work like a serial modem. Therefore it offers a
serial COM-port so that already existing applications can be used
without any changes.
Optionally a device type manager (DTM) compliant to the cur-
rent version 1.2.1. of the FDT specification is delivered. It works
like a device driver witch allows the communication between
devices on the HART bus and their DTMs. With the help of the
DTM the start-up process of the HART bus can be done easily.

Power modi
Battery powered
You can power on the device by pressing the on/off-push button.
A successful start of the firmware is indicated by the LED flash-
ing quickly 3 times. For the next minute the isH@rt BluePack
will be visible to other Bluetooth devices, so if you intend to
install a Bluetooth connection, the device needs to be powered
off and on again before searching for the BluePack over Blue-
tooth adapter of your computer (refer to page 18). During this
period, the LED flashes quickly two times every 3 seconds.
After one minute, the device will fall into sleep mode, thus
reducing power consumption sharply. In this state the device will
be invisible to other Bluetooth devices. Nevertheless if you have
installed previously the Bluetooth connection, you still can con-
nect to the device. This state is indicated by a quick flash about
every 10 seconds. As soon as a HART client application has con-
nected to the BluePack and transmits a HART message the LED
will be switched on permanently (for the duration of the trans-
mission of the HART message).
You can power off the BluePack by pressing the on/off push but-
ton for about 2 seconds. The BluePack will confirm the shutdown
by switching off the LED.
USB powered
The push button will have no effect as the device will be powered
as soon as the device is plugged into a USB port. The LED
flashes quickly 3 times indicating the successful start of the
firmware. Afterwards, if the BluePack is not transmitting any
HART messages, the LED flashes quickly two times every 3 sec-
onds. While transmitting a HART message the LED will be
switched on permanently. While connected to USB, the
BluePack will be visible to other Bluetooth devices,allowing the
installation of a Bluetooth connection (refer to page 12).
Hardware Installation the H@rt BluePack

If connected to an USB port of a PC or laptop, the BluePack can
communicate either over USB or over Bluetooth.
It is not possible to switch between battery power mode and USB
powered mode 'on the fly'. A change of the power mode will
cause the reboot of the H@rt BluePack. An existing open Blue-
tooth connection is closed and must be opened again. The same
applies to the power saving modes of the PC or laptop. While the
PC changes into standby mode, the Bluepack shuts down even if
batteries are inside. An existing open Bluetooth connection is
closed and must be opened again after the PC has resumed from
standby mode.
