E+H Field Xpert SMT70 Field Communicator

Fits mobile configuration and diagnostics of HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, Modbus, and IO-Link field devices where you need an IP65 tablet host with an 11.6 in sunlight-readable display and optional Ex Zone 2 build.

Key advantages

Multi-protocol tablet — HART, FF, PROFIBUS DP/PA, PROFINET, Modbus, IO-Link plus Bluetooth/WLAN/Netilion.
11.6 in sunlight display — 1920×1080, 1000 cd/m², Gorilla Glass multi-touch.
IP65 field housing — Polycarbonate outer / AlMg inner; 1.2 kg with standard battery.
Ex Zone 2 options — Hazardous-area and non-Ex variants; 45 Wh / 86 Wh battery classes.

Typical applications

Mobile configuration and diagnostics of multi-protocol field devices.
Commissioning rounds that need a rugged sunlight-readable Windows tablet host.
Plants mixing HART, fieldbus, and IO-Link device fleets.

Selection guide

Role — Mobile device configuration tablet — not a process transmitter; connects to HART/FF/PA/PN/Modbus/IO-Link field devices.
Communication — HART, PROFIBUS DP/PA, PROFINET, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, Modbus, IO-Link, Bluetooth, WLAN; Netilion link.
Display — 11.6 in 1920×1080 LCD, Gorilla Glass, capacitive multi-touch, 1000 cd/m² sunlight readable.
Battery — 11.1 VDC; 3950 mAh (45 Wh) standard / 7800 mAh (86 Wh) optional; life up to 7 h (45 Wh) / 14 h (86 Wh).
Housing — Outer MN-3600 polycarbonate; inner AlMg AZ91D; IP65.
Ambient — Operating −10 to 55 °C (14 to 131 °F); storage −20 to 60 °C; humidity 5–95%; altitude max 4572 m.
Hazardous area — Ex Zone 2 and non-Ex variants.
Compute — CPU Intel Core i5-5200U or better; 8 GB RAM; 256 GB SSD (robust); Windows OS.
Weight — 1.2 kg (2.65 lb) with standard battery.
Approvals — Ex Zone 2 versions; CE.

Common mistakes

Treating SMT70 as a process transmitter — it is a configuration host tablet only.
Ordering non-Ex when the plant requires Ex Zone 2 (or the reverse).
Leaving battery class blank — 45 Wh standard vs 86 Wh optional changes shift length (up to 7 h vs 14 h).
Assuming every field protocol interface is in the base kit — confirm HART/FF/PA/PN/Modbus/IO-Link interface packages on the RFQ.
Ignoring IP65 and −10…55 °C operating limits for outdoor winter work.

When to RFQ / what to tell us

Ex Zone 2 vs non-Ex, and required field protocols (HART/FF/PA/PN/Modbus/IO-Link).
Battery class (45 Wh vs 86 Wh) and any Netilion/WLAN/Bluetooth workflow needs.
Quantity, ship-to, and Windows/image preferences if any.
