Description of HART interface
8.1 General description
The open HART ® protocol, which can be used for free, is integrated into the signal converter for
communication.
Devices which support the HART ® protocol are classified as either operating devices or field
devices. When it comes to operating devices (Master), both manual control units (Secondary
Master) and PC-supported workstations (Primary Master) are used in, for example, a control
centre.
HART ® field devices include measuring sensors, signal converters and actuators. The field
devices range from 2-wire to intrinsically safe versions for use in hazardous areas.
The HART ® data are superimposed over the analogue 4...20 mA signal via FSK modem. This way,
all of the connected devices can communicate digitally with one another via the HART ® protocol
while simultaneously transmitting the analogue signals.
When it comes to the field devices and secondary masters, the FSK or HART ® modem is
integrated. If a PC is used, an external modem must be connected to the serial interface (USB
interface). There are, however, other connection variants which can be seen in the following
connection figures.
