1. isHRT USB and isHRT USBeX – HART on USB
The interface isHRT USB is designed to provide a communication link
between a desktop computer or PC notebook and the HART field
device. The PC can be taken into the field and connected with the HART
network within seconds thanks to the USB plug & play features. Mobile
data acquisition as well as parameterization are preferred operational
areas. The modem can work as primary as well as secondary Master and
features galvanic decoupling from the HART line.
For the use in hazardous areas we deliver an intrinsic safe, ATEX
certified version: isHRT USBeX. It is functionally equivalent to the
standard type.

2. the H@rt BluePack – HART on Bluetooth/ USB
“the H@rt BluePack” is a versatile interface which supports wireless
(Bluetooth) and wired (USB) access to a HART network. It can be em-
ployed as an up-to-date replacement for the still widely used RS-232-
HART modem solutions. Additionally to its modem capabilities
the H@rt BluePack runs an embedded HART master stack.
The active HART master stack guarantees compliance with the HART
timing requirements regardless of the speed of the PC host appli-
cation or the data transmission quality between the host and the
Bluetooth device. This can be of considerable advantage if using
the interface in multi-master environments or in connection with
burst-mode slaves. The stack can be configured to work as primary
or secondary master.
The interface can be powered via the USB connection or 3 replaceable
AAA cells. If operating in battery mode it can be powered down by
an on/off-button. To increase the life span of the batteries the device
switches to sleep mode if no Bluetooth communication takes place.
The activity on the HART network is indicated by one LED.

2.3 Operation of the unit
2.3.1 Battery operation
2.3.1.1 Switch on the device
• There is a button at the front of the device, which can be used to
switch the device on. Switching on is signaled by the LED blinking
three times. After switching on, the device is ready for a Bluetooth
connection.
• The LED flashes briefly at regular intervals to indicate whether the
device is switched on or off.
Two different operating modes are signaled:
1. In the first minute after power up, the device is visible to other
Bluetooth devices, i.e. the H@rt BluePack can be paired with other
devices. This operating mode is indicated by two short flashes of
the LED every 4 seconds.
2. One minute after switching on the device becomes invisible to
other Bluetooth devices, so they can no longer find the H@rt
BluePack and thus no longer be paired to it. Of course, devices
that are already paired can continue to connect to the H@rt
BluePack. In this operating mode the LED flashes briefly every 10s.
2.3.1.2 Switch off the device
To switch off, press the button on the front of the device until
the LED switches on (approx. 3 seconds).
The LED signals the switch-off process by gradually darkening.
When the LED is completely dark, the device is switched off.
2.3.2 USB operation
• As soon as the device is connected to a PC via USB, the device is
switched on and active – the button has no function when the
power is supplied via a USB cable.
• Communication with the device can take place via USB or via
Bluetooth. It is also possible to pair with other Bluetooth devices
at any time.
• The use of USB power supply adapters for the power supply of
the H@rt-BluePack is not possible.

3. Installation of the driver software
The driver software should be installed before connecting the device.
Otherwise, the operating system can not find the interface to the associated driver.
The driver software package isHRT Multidriver contains a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) which allows the access to the
HART firmware under the operating systems Windows 7, 8 und 10.
The actual operating system is detected automatically by the driver DLL.
The configuration of the interface can be done with the configuration software isHRT Driver Configurator
which is installed into the Thorsis Technologies directory of the Start Menu.
Installation process:
• Login as administrator
• Insert the installation CD-ROM
• The setup starts with an autoroutine; proceed according to the instructions displayed on the screen.
Should Autorun be disabled on your machine, run the “isHRT_Driver_Setup.exe” on the installation CD.
The installation is done in the standard program directory of the target machine under:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Thorsis Technologies\isHRT Driver 64bit”.

4. Installation of the isHRT CommDTM
The operation of the software isHRT FDT requires the correct installation of the HART interface isHRT USB and isHRT USBeX respectively.
The driver software delivered with our interface permits the access to the HART Firmware.
The interface between application and HART firmware comes in the shape of a Dynamic Link Library (DLL).
The delivered software isHRT FDT supports the operating systems Windows Vista, XP and Windows 7, 8, 10 (32-bit/64-bit).
It is placed on the enclosed CD.
The installation follows the steps mentioned below:
• Insert the installation CD into your drive.
• Start “isHRT CommDTM v2 Setup.exe” and proceed according to the instructions displayed on the screen.
The software is installed in the default program directory of your computer under the subdirectory:
”C:\Program Files (x86)\Thorsis Technologies\isHRT CommDTM”.
Install the driver before connecting the modem!
Otherwise the modem may not be recognized correctly.

8. Configuration and commissioning
The configuration software isHRT Driver Configurator is provided
in order to adapt the DLL access to your hardware. It is installed
in the Start Menu. This dialog based application allows the easy
addition and removal of HART interfaces. It also checks the avail-
able resources of the system.
A device number is assigned to each USB interface which enables
the software to address it. Empty devices can be included in order
to allow gaps in the enumeration of devices; see section “8.3 Emp-
ty-Slot” on page 19.
Run this program as an administrator.

17
8.1 Add a USB device
Please press the button “Add”, choose the device type you would
like to add. Press “OK”, then make your settings.
The device has a unique serial number for clear identification.
The number is located on the bottom of the case. The configura-
tion software offers the possibility to search automatically for all
attached devices and to detect their serial numbers. Please fill in
the number in the intended field.
The device can work like a serial modem under the operating
systems Windows 7, 8 und 10. In order to facilitate this, it offers a
serial COM-port so that already existing applications can be used
without any changes. The serial COM-port can be selected. The
configuration software checks the available COM-ports to avoid
an address conflict.
Finish your settings by clicking “OK”.

18
8.2 Add a Bluetooth device
When you add a Bluetooth device, you can choose between USB
and Bluetooth connection.
If you select a USB connection, you must enter the serial number
or can let the program automatically search for a connected the

9. isHRT Test
The correct installation and functionality of isHRT USB can be
checked with the test application “isHRT Testprogram” in the
driver software.
The program searches for connected HART slaves.
10. FDT Communication-DTM isHRT CommDTM
The isHRT CommDTM is a CommDTM for the interfaces isHRT USB
and isHRT USBeX. The DTM offers communication access via the isH-
RT Channel as explained earlier. This chapter describes the configu-
ration of the isHRT CommDTM. The configuration can be accessed by
selecting the function “Channel Configuration” offered by the isHRT
CommDTM. The configuration dialog is only available in offline
mode, i.e. the DTM is not connected.
The software isHRT CommDTM can be integrated into any stand-
alone frame application (e.g. PACTware, FieldCare). After the instal-
lation of the software (see „4. Installation of the isHRT CommDTM“
on page 10), the CommDTM is ready for use. In order to actually use
the CommDTM, it is necessary to start the frame application. Then,
the device catalogue of the Frame Application has to be updated.
Now, the isHRT CommDTM is registered and ready for work.
