G.M.I. HART Multiplexer System
Cost-effective HART Interface System

The new HART Interface System by G.M. International provides the possibility to
drastically reduce the number of multiplexer modules, yet maintain the
capability to control up to 7936 channels.
By splitting modem and multiplexing units it is possible to reduce costs for
modules, increasing the baud rate of the system at the same time.

Benefits at glance:
 Reduced cost and stock
 Less wiring
 Improved baud rate
 Certified for SIL 3 applications

Smart innovation

The new HART System Interface by G.M. International allows for many
advantages. In addition to increased system performance, other
benefits include:

 Reduced components: only 31 multiplexer modules GM5700 to

control 7936 channels
 Less spare parts: stock is substantially reduced
 Wirings are reduced: less components, less cables, less wirings
 Increased performances: 115.200 bps baud rate
 Certified for SIL 3 applications: our HART Multiplexer System is
suitable for SIL 3 applications according to IEC 61508 and IEC 61511
