Key parameters
Measuring range
HART↔USB interface modem (not a sensor)
Output
USB signal per USB specification to PC; HART signal per HART specification to field devices
Supply
USB powered 5 V DC; current consumption < 20 mA
Process connection
USB to PC; polarity-independent 4 mm adapter bushing to transmitter (+ 4 mm/2 mm adapter cable supplied)
Housing
143 × 60 × 30 mm housing
Protection
Per EN 60529 housing design (see TI)
Fits PC commissioning of HART transmitters where you need an intrinsically safe Commubox FXA195 USB modem for FieldCare / ReadWin with switchable communication resistor.
Key advantages
- Function — HART↔USB interface modem (not a sensor)
- Power — USB powered 5 V DC; <20 mA consumption
- Connection — Polarity-independent 4 mm bushing; 4 mm/2 mm adapter cable supplied
- Software — FieldCare / ReadWin support; switchable communication resistor
- Approvals — ATEX, FM, CSA, CE; reactionless connection to SIL 2 4–20 mA loops (IEC 61508)
Typical applications
- Laptop configuration of HART field devices in the shop or field.
- Intrinsically safe loops needing a listed USB modem.
- FieldCare projects replacing older RS-232 HART modems.
Selection guide
- Loop type — Confirm HART on 4–20 mA; resistor switch as needed
- Hazardous area — Match ATEX/FM/CSA certificate to the area
- PC — USB host with FieldCare/ReadWin
- Cabling — Use supplied polarity-independent adapters
Common mistakes
- Treating FXA195 as a WirelessHART gateway — it is a wired USB HART modem.
- Forcing polarity on the 4 mm bushing — connection is polarity-independent.
- Skipping the communication resistor when the loop has none.
When to RFQ / what to tell us
- Hazardous-area certificate need.
- PC OS / FieldCare version.
- Quantity and ship-to.
