2.2.2 HART Connection
The HART connection can be divided to the following two types :
(1) ”Loop Power Source” Mode.
(2) ”External Power Source” Mode.

2.3 Terminator Resistor Settings
The DIP switch is used to provide HART network with 250 Ω (1/4 W)
resistor. When it is set to “On”, the resistor will connect to HART network.
Otherwise, it will disconnect the resistor from HART network. The default
position of the DIP switch is in “On”.

2.4 Init / Normal Jumper
Open the shell of I-7567 and there is a jumper (JP1) on the PCB of I-
7567 is used for firmware operation or firmware updating function of I-
7567 module.
Figure 2-7: Firmware Operation Figure 2-8:Firmware Updating
2.4.1 Firmware Update Mode
Please follow the below steps to complete the firmware update
process of I-7567.
(1) Set the jumper (JP1) to the firmware updating position like Figure 2-8
and reboot I-7567. Then I-7567 will work in the “Firmware Update
Mode”. In this mode, users can update the firmware of I-7567 module
via USB and the I-7567 will become a “USB Mass Storage” device like
Figure 2-9.

I-7567 USB/HART Converter User’s Manual (Ver 1.3, 2015/10/30) ------------- 14
Figure 2-9:USB Mass Storage Device (G:\)
(2) Execute the “FW_Update_Tool”utility. (Download from
http://ftp.icpdas.com/pub/cd/fieldbus_cd/hart/converter/i-7567/software/)
[1] Choose “USB”interface and “USB Disk”(like :J:).
[2] Click “Browser” button to choose FW file (like :I7567_v1.00.fw).
[3] Click “Firmware Update” button to start FW update process.
The result will show in “Firmware Update” field.
2.4.2 Firmware Operation Mode
In operation mode, users need to set the jumper (JP1) to the firmware
operation position like Figure 2-7 and reboot I-7567. In this mode, users

I-7567 USB/HART Converter User’s Manual (Ver 1.3, 2015/10/30) ------------- 15
can send / receive HART frame via USB port of PC.
2.5 LED Indication
There are three LEDs provided to indicate what situation the I-7567 is
in. The Figure 2-10 is the illustration of these three LEDs.
Figure 2-10:LED position of I-7567
2.5.1 LED function
(1) PWR LED :
When power on I-7567, if I-7567 is in the firmware operation mode,
then the PWR LED will be on permanently. If I-7567 is in the firmware
update mode, then all the LED will be off.
(2) Tx LED :
When I-7567 received the data from USB, then the Tx LED will flash
until the data transmission completed.
(3) Rx LED :
When I-7567 received the HART frame from HART device, then the Rx
LED will flash until the data transmission completed.

2.5.2 LED indication Table
2.6 Cable Selection
The HART bus is a balanced (differential) 2-wire interface running
over a Shielded Twisted Pair (STP), Un-shielded Twisted Pair (UTP), or
Ribbon cable. How to decide a cable type, cable length, and terminator in
the HART bus network, please refer to the following table.
Note: The AWG means a standard method used to measure wire. The
numbering system works backwards from what people would think, the
thicker (heavier) the wire, the lower the number.
