Thorsis isNet Lite Headstation

The isNet Lite is an Ethernet gateway. It supports the PROFINET, MODBUS TCP and HART over IP protocols. Depending on the application the isNet Lite is always used together with one or more fieldbus modules, where the isNet Lite is always the head module. Up to five different fieldbus modules can be connected to the isNet Lite.

You need a driver in the isNet Lite. It comes with HART over IP which will allow you to connect to HART instruments using any FDT or anything that has the HART IP server built in like SIMATIC PDM. In addition, you can add a license for either PROFINET or Modbus TCP by purchasing them.
