HART - proven for process automation

© 2013 HART Communication Foundation, all rights reserved

Exploit the potential of HART with us as your partner:

• Over 20 years experience with a proven technology

• Comprehensive range of HART measuring instruments

• Advanced diagnostics and intelligent multivariable devices

• Simple commissioning and device management

• Simple integration into control systems

• Auxiliary hardware and handheld

• Worldwide service and support

There are three basic ways of integrating the measurements provided by HART devices into a control system:

• Point-to-point connection of the 4...20 mA signal

• Connection via a remote I/O or HART multiplexer to a superordinated bus system, e.g. PROFIBUS

• On rare occasions, connection of a HART multidrop bus to a HART I/O card

Only in the two latter cases is the full device information available to the control system.

HART device information (parameters, status etc.) can be accessed by:

• An FDT frame, e.g. FieldCare, which requires a so-called DTM for each device type

• A DD/EDD operating tool such as Field Xpert SFX350/SFX370 handheld, Asset Management Solution (AMS) and Process Device Manager (PDM)

We offer DTMs, DDs and EDDs for all our HART devices and ensure they are integrated into the above-mentioned tools.

The device description files and certificates can be obtained from the download area of each product.
