Cornerstone Base Station manages the commissioning, calibration
and maintenance of industrial instruments. Base Station supports HART and
conventional instrumentation. Create your HART database simply by connecting
anywhere on the instrument loop. Base Station maintains a comprehensive instrument
data base, with individual histories of the configuration, test, calibration and
maintenance activities performed on each instrument.
Benefit from savings in the collection, recall and reporting of maintenance
information. Increase the accuracy and standardization of calibration practices.
Gain easy digital access to the improved features of HART instruments.
Customize tag, plant, and service data. Use Base Stations itemized record
keeping to support compliance with audit requirements. All of this at your
fingertips in an easy to use graphical interface in Microsoft Windows.
Base Station stays current with the standard HART tables distributed by the HART
Communication Foundation. Using these tables and the HART universal and common
practice command sets, Base Station can communicate with any HART compliant device, even
those not yet registered in the tables. Access to device specific parameters and
functions is accomplished through a Cornerstone Model Support Library customized to the
individual device.
Use Base Station to create a central HART maintenance station with remote access to
field devices over networks of HART compatible multiplexers. Periodically scanned
HART process data and device status retrieved over these network connections are then
accessible by other applications via Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE).
