Chapter 2 - About mobiLink

Version EN-062018-1.01 7

2About mobiLink

mobiLink is a mobile communication device designed to configure and manage field devices

(HART, FOUNDATION fieldbus or PROFIBUS PA) in hazardous and non-hazardous areas from

PCs, tablet computers or smartphones by wired or wireless communication. Operation of

this communication device requires the use of suitable management tools like FDT frame

applications or configuration tools on Windows PCs or tablets or smartphones.

2.1 Intended use

mobiLink is used to interface with network segments to configure, commission and maintain

connected field devices (HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus or PROFIBUS PA fieldbus). mobiLink may

be used both in field installations and in bench applications. As mobiLink does not supply

power to the connected devices, a powered HART loop or powered fieldbus segment is

required when using mobiLink in bench applications.

mobiLink is certified for hazardous areas and can be connected to intrinsically safe field

devices. See the section Functional Description for details.

Note

Avoid interference with the operation system. Exercise utmost care when using

mobiLink in operational plants.

2.2 Scope of delivery

3Product overview

mobiLink combines a HART modem and a Manchester encoded bus-powered (MBP) fieldbus

interface in a single portable device. It features a full-blown HART master, a FOUNDATION

Fieldbus host and a PROFIBUS PA master and therefore supports all three major

communication protocols used with process field devices.

Host devices, tools and applications

mobiLink provides access to field devices from FDT frame applications and configuration

tools running on host devices (PCs, tablets or smartphones) connected via USB or Bluetooth.

If you connect mobiLink to a host device on the USB port, the mobiLink automatically starts

USB communication. Conversely, if you switch on mobiLink without a wired USB connection,

the device automatically activates wireless Bluetooth communication. It is not possible to

use Bluetooth while the USB cable is connected. If the USB cable is disconnected during

operation, mobiLink is powered off. Connecting the USB cable during Bluetooth operation

will cause mobiLink to reboot.

Power supply and consumption

mobiLink uses three AA batteries. The battery lifetime depends on the mode of operation.

Using Bluetooth communication, one set of batteries can last several working days. USB

mode increases battery life time, but cannot be used in hazardous areas. mobiLink does not

supply power to connected field devices. A powered HART loop or powered fieldbus

segment is required. When connected to a fieldbus segment, the mobiLink fieldbus interface

draws 10 mA from the fieldbus as required by the specification. To improve the battery

lifetime of mobiLink in bench host applications, the host application may set the power

drawn from the fieldbus to 18 mA in USB mode.

Chapter 3 - Product overview

Version EN-062018-1.01 9

HART or fieldbus communication

mobiLink can operate as HART modem, FOUNDATION Fieldbus or PROFIBUS PA fieldbus

interface. The two different electrical interfaces for HART and fieldbus operation share a

common socket. The mode of operation is selected by the host application. mobiLink checks

whether the electrical conditions on the interface match the selected mode. mobiLink must

therefore be connected to a HART device or fieldbus segment before the host application is

started. An LED marking the HART or Fieldbus socket indicates in which communication

mode mobiLink is running.
