HART Protocol for Process Automation

The HART Communication protocol extends the standard 4-20mA analog current signal used for process automation equipment to allow for two-way digital communications without disrupting the analog signal. It preserves compatibility with existing 4-20mA systems and provides a backward compatible solution for digitally enhanced field communication. HART has become the established industry standard protocol for this purpose.

HART Communication

ABSTRACT:
For many years, the field communication standard for process automation
equipment has been a milliamp (mA) analog current signal. The milliamp
current signal varies within a range of 4-2OmA in proportion to the process
variable being represented. Li typical applications a signal of 4mA will
correspond to the lower limit (0%) of the calibrated range and 2OmA will
correspond to the upper limit (100%) of the calibrated range.Virtually all
installed systems use this international standard for communicating
process variable information between process automation
equipment.HART Field Communications Protocol extends this 4- 2OmA
standard to enhance communication with smart field instruments. The
HART protocol was designed specifically for use with intelligent
measurement and control instruments which traditionally communicate
using 4-2OmA analog signals. HART preserves the 4- signal and enables
two way digital communications to occur without disturbing the integrity of
the 4-2OmA signal.Unlike other digital communication technologies, the
HART protocol maintains compatibility with existing 4-2OmA systems, and
in doing so, provides users with a uniquely backward compatible solution.
HART Communication Protocol is well-established as the existing industry
standard for digitally enhanced 4- 2OmA field communication.
