Hart on 1734 Point I/O

[Conor 4]

Hi guys, I have looked up the documentation and could find a Hart module for the 1734 Point I/O. I was wondering if anyone has done anything like this before. I have some new instruments that I am taking Analogue inputs to my Point I/O. These instruments are Hart enabled and I have been told by the instrument manufacturer that I will be able to take more process values if I was utilizing the Hart on the instrument. He has suggested using a Hart Multiplexer. This Multiplexer would then give me up to 4 Analogue outputs. I was wondering if there is another way of doing this? My Point I/O is connected to my PLC over Ethernet Thanks , Conor

It is not much help for Point I/O but for Control and COmpact Logix the Prosoft Hart Cards have worked for us. I also just saw another poster using the 1794-IE8H and 1794-OE8H modules which support Hart on Flex I/O. there is a 1794-enet module IIRC And now I find 1734-sc-IF4H from Spectrum Controls for the 1734 and hart.
