H1 Interoperability Test Kit (ITK) Version 5.1

Version 5.1 of H1 Interoperability Test Kit (ITK) supports temperature transducer blocks, device description 5.1 functionality, and field diagnostics profiles, enhancing organization and integration of device diagnostics (DD) within the manufacturer’s fieldbus systems. The kit verifies the functionality of an H1 (31.25 kbit/s) device and its conformity with the Foundation Fieldbus function block and transducer block specifications. It troubleshoots and debugs devices, and includes all hardware and software that are required to ensure complete device interoperability. The DD 5.1 enhancements include a cross-block device description, National Instruments (NI) communication driver 3.2.2, an updated viewer, and support for the FF-904 temperature transducer block specification (single and dual sensor) and FF-912 field diagnostics profile specification.
