1. Introduction

The I-7567 is a USB to HART converter specially designed as the
master device of HART protocol. It allows users to access the HART slave
via virtual COM-port of PC and the baud rate must be set 1200 bps.

When connecting I-7567 to PC, PC will load the relevant device driver
automatically (hot plug & play). Therefore, users can make data collection
and processing of HART network easier and quicker by applying I-7567. In
addition, by using the I-7567 utility, users can configure module and test
HART communication easily.

The following is the application structure of the USB/HART modules.

2.2.2 HART Connection
The HART connection can be divided to the following two types :

(1) ”Loop Power Source” Mode.
(2) ”External Power Source” Mode.

2.3 Terminator Resistor Settings

The DIP switch is used to provide HART network with 250 Ω (1/4 W)
resistor. When it is set to “On”, the resistor will connect to HART network.
Otherwise, it will disconnect the resistor from HART network. The default
position of the DIP switch is in “On”.

2.4 Init / Normal Jumper

Open the shell of I-7567 and there is a jumper (JP1) on the PCB of I­7567 is used for firmware operation or firmware updating function of I­7567 module.

Figure 2-7: Firmware Operation Figure 2-8: Firmware Updating

2.4.1 Firmware Update Mode

Please follow the below steps to complete the firmware update
process of I-7567.
(1) Set the jumper (JP1) to the firmware updating position like Figure 2-8

and reboot I-7567. Then I-7567 will work in the “Firmware Update
Mode”. In this mode, users can update the firmware of I-7567 module
via USB and the I-7567 will become a “USB Mass Storage” device like
Figure 2-9.
