MC0312 Modbus to HART-IP Embedded Core Module（over APL）Conversion Logic：

MC0312 Ethernet-APL built-in core module is an built-in module that can convert Modbusprotocoldevices into HART-IP protocol devices that support the Ethernet-APL physical layer. The MC0312moduleis built in Modbus protocol equipment (temperature, pressure, flow, level, actuator and other instruments)and is connected to the instrument through the TTL serial port. The communication protocol withtheinstrument is the Modbus-RTU protocol. The MC0312 module supports Modbus master stationandHART-IP slave station functions, and can convert data from data registers (such as input registersandholding registers) in Modbus devices into dynamic variables corresponding to HART-IPcommands. Forexample, the holding register with address 30000 (range 1-65536) in a flow meter storestheinstantaneous flow value, then we can configure the holding register to device variable 0 (range0-5)ofthe HART-IP module, Then specify device variable 0 as the main variable (or second, third, or fourthvariable). The conversion logic is shown in Figure :

Application of MC0312 Module in Pressure Transmitter

MC0312 Ethernet-APL embedded core module can adapt to all types of instruments on the market,such as temperature, pressure, flow, liquid level, actuator, etc. It can quickly upgrade traditional instruments to Ethernet-APL field devices without users even having to write a line. code. At present, the MC0312 module has been successfully used in Bowei's pressure transmitter products, so that the pressure transmitter supports the Ethernet-APL communication interface and the HART-IP communication protocol.
