The software has a FOUNDATION fieldbus ITK 6.1.2 certification and is based on the Softing standard hardware solution FBK-2, which has already passed a physical layer and a conformance test (CTK). As a result, a FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 transmitter product, which has been developed based on the FFeasy kit, only requires the short and very cost effective re-certification process at a Fieldbus Foundation certification lab (private label ITK).
Currently, solutions for a fieldbus connection are available, which allow using an existing serial interface (UART) with MODBUS or HART protocol as FOUNDATION fieldbus connection. Hence, the FFeasy approach fits for a huge scope of HART- or MODBUS-enabled devices (i.e., transmitters for temperature, density, flow, level etc.).
