Cable Requirements
The Logix 1200 positioner utilizes the HART Communication
protocol. This communication signal is superimposed on the
DC 4-20 mA current signal. The two frequencies used by the
HART protocol are 1200 Hz and 2200 Hz. In order to prevent
distortion of the HART communication, cable capacitance
and cable length restrictions must be calculated. The cable
length must be limited if the capacitance is too high.
Selecting a cable with lower capacitance/foot rating will allow
longer cable runs. In addition to the cable capacitance, the
network resistance also affects the allowable cable length.
In order to determine if the loop will support the Logix 1200
positioner, perform the following calculation.
Voltage =
The calculated voltage must be greater than 12 VDC in
order to support the Logix 1200 positioner.
Example:

Voltage = 19 VDC - 0.020 A*(300

+ 25
Ω
)
= 12.5 VDC
The voltage 12.5 VDC is greater than the required
12 VDC; therefore, this system will support the Logix
1200 positioner. The Logix 1200 positioner has an input
resistance equivalent to 600
Ω
at a 20 mA input current.
In order to calculate the maximum network capacitance,
use the formula shown in the next column. (NOTE: To
control cable resistance, No. 24 AWG cable should be used
for runs less than 5000 feet. For cable runs longer than
5000 feet, No. 20 AWG cable should be used.)
