How to update the model name of a registered HART product:
Manufacturers may update the name of their device at any time before or after completing the registration. If a manufacturer desires to update the product name after completing the registration process, FieldComm Group will:
- Issue an updated Registration Certificate
- Issue an updated Conformance Report
- Update the Product in the Product Catalog
- Update the Product Name in the Common Tables Specification
A Product Name Update Fee ($480) applies per Registered Product name change.
If you would like to update a Product Name, please open a support ticket and specify the following:
- I need assistance with: Membership Support
- Details: Manufacturer ID/Device Type Request
- Additional Details: select the applicable technology/protocol
- Subject: Update Model Name
- Description: Include the previous name and the new name and the device type code.
We recommend that the Device Description files be updated and submitted with the new model name. Please see the EDD Registration articles for more information about EDD Registration. The Product Name Update Fee does not include EDD test or registration costs, these are separate fees.
Character Limit for Product Names:
The Long Tag is limited to 32 ISO Latin 1 characters for HART products.
The ModelName is limited to 32 ISO Latin 1 characters for FOUNDATION Fieldbus products.
It is recommended to use 18 characters or less for best visibility on displays.
Character Encoding Set:
ISO Latin-1 /IEC 8859-1 characters are acceptable. The codes within 128-159 are not allowed (i.e. Windows-1252 uses this range however this is reserved by ISO for legacy control characters).
The following characters may be excluded and removed from the registered device model name to maximize interoperability:
Copyright ©, trade mark ™, registered ®, and Em dashes – —.
Upon publishing the device in our Product Registry, the “More Information” field allows for these additional characters if you need to display them.
