Introducing The Smart Transmitter Toolkit

The PLC-5 processor sends and receives data from the 1770-HT1 as Smart
Transmitter Interface Packets. The HART field device sends and receives
data from the 1770-HT1 as HART packets. The 1770-HT1 converts the
packets that it receives to the required format before transmitting the
packets to their destination.

This diagram illustrates the relationship between the two packets.

Using a few pieces of data, the STT subroutine creates a Smart Transmitter
Interface packet and sends it to the 1770-HT1. The STT subroutine then
takes the response from the 1770-HT1 and decodes the Smart Transmitter
Interface packet to provide you with useful data.

Interface products, see the Smart Transmitter Interface Products (HART
Protocol) User Manual
