A tool to test for
HART compliance
In April, the new enhanced HART
DDL/EDDL (electronic device description
language) Host Test Suite
v2.0 was released. The test suite is
used by suppliers and developers of
host products to test compliance of
their HART implementation and is
used by this foundation to verify and
validate compliance of host products
submitted for HART registration.
The new Suite v.2.0 includes: improved
Encoded Test DDs updated to
align with the current Test Specifications;
test report spreadsheets for
documenting test results; new and
improved Xmtr-MV v2.5; and other
ancillary files needed to facilitate
HART DDL/EDDL host testing. Hall

Save energy at data centers
and more with this suite
In December, this company introduced
its Decathlon suite including
software, hardware and services for
data centers to provide a single view
of IT, facilities and energy management
information for improved data
access and use, while making data
centers themselves more reliable and
energy efficient. Decathlon is said to
enable better control and proactive
maintenance of data center operations,
with access to information from
multiple systems, and provides potential
energy savings of 10 to 50%.
Decathlon provides realtime equipment
health status to ensure reliability
and proactive maintenance. It also
transforms energy consumption data
into valuable information so that data
center operators can optimize power
use while maintaining high levels of
productivity and reliability. Hall 11.1,

A tool to help design
heat-trace systems
Released at the end of last year,
TraceCalc Pro version 2.5 is an industrial
heat-trace-system design
software that provides users with a
step-by-step process to design an effective
and efficient heat-trace system
for pipes and vessels. Users can
input their heat-trace design parameters
(such as pipe size and material,
insulation type and thickness, service
voltage, maximum exposure temperature,
pipe length, the number and
size of valves and more) into TraceCalc
Pro. The software then provides
the information needed to complete
the heat-trace-system design process,
such as the amount of heat loss from
the pipe, types of heat-trace products
required, number of circuits used, and
electrical and thermal performance of
the system. - Tyco Thermal Controls,
