nnnn

In an effort to increase production and reduce

nnnn

costs, the Venezuelan national oil company PDVSA

nnnn

recently purchased a new interface module, which

nnnn

will allow them to communicate between Allen-

nnnn

Bradley ControlLogix using DF1 and the HART

nnnn

protocol. Approximately 40 new HART Multidrop (8

nnnn

channel) Serial Port Interface Modules from ProLinx

nnnn

Communication Gateways, Inc. will be installed in their

nnnn

crude oil production units in eastern Venezuela.

nnnn

The ProLinx HART modules allow up to 8 channels

nnnn

of multidrop HART communications (theoretical

nnnn

support for up to 120 instruments such as Mass Flow

nnnn

Meters, Differential Pressure Transmitters, Absolute

nnnn

Pressure Transmitters and Temperature Transmitters).

nnnn

It also provides full access to the digital configuration,

nnnn

diagnostics and maintenance information in each

nnnn

connected transmitter.

nnnn

"Since the ProLinx 4127 HART module allows one DF1

nnnn

port to connect to 8 HART channels, this interface

nnnn

provides maximum efficiency for HART networks,"

nnnn

said Franco Melchiorre, Latin American Regional Sales

nnnn

Manager for ProLinx Communication Gateways, Inc.

nnnn

"PDVSA has accepted the performance of this module,

nnnn

and are very pleased with the performance during

nnnn

factory tests."
