Fieldbus Development Toolkit Development Procedure

Fieldbus Development Toolkit Testing Period 

After completing software development, the device is ready for testing. First it is the simple function testing, the user can select configuration software (e.g. HART Server).and then test the user function block functions via the online function testing via software. Also, the certification test is needed, such foundation testing. It requires the customers to be the foundation member and purchase testing environment. Please refer to “Development guidance for HART communication board”.

Documentation Collection 

HART development toolkit includes the documentation as following: 1) HART development toolkit brief introduction It is a fast guidance for HART development toolkit brief introduction. 2) Guidance for communication board development It is about the detailed description for communication board hardware and interface, it can help user to know the hardware architect in order to finish the development work for hardware interface. 3) Guidance for HART communication board development Based on software development, it can help user to know the software architect and interface configuration in order to finish the design and development work for software interface. 4) HART-STACK application program interface user manual It is the HART-STACK library user manual, including how to register function block, and initial HART-STACK, etc. The user must follow to the documentation description to operate when the user is developing HART device
