Hart

HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) is a communication protocol used in industrial process measurement and control, allowing for both analog and digital signals. It operates on a master/slave protocol, enabling two-way communication and providing benefits such as cost savings in commissioning, installation, and maintenance. WirelessHART extends this protocol to wireless applications while ensuring compatibility with existing HART devices.

What is HART?
•HART® protocol has been around for a long time late 1980s.

•HART is one of several different communications protocols used in plant


automation.

•HART ("Highway Addressable Remote Transducer") is a communication


protocol designed for industrial process measurement and control
applications.

•Products that use the HART protocol to provide both analog 4-20mA and
digital signals provided for communication with master and slave devices.
What are the Benefits?

the basis for HART's key benefits is the ability to carry this
added digital information on analog signal.

Cost saving in :
• Commissioning and installation
• Plant operations and improved quality maintenance.
How does Hart communication work?

• HART technology is based on a master/slave protocol, which means


that a smart field (slave) device only speaks when spoken to by a
master.

• Each field device communication is initiated by a host communication


device.
Host
Two hosts can connect to each HART loop.

Primary host
a) a distributed control system (DCS),

b) a programmable logic controller (PLC), or

c) a personal computer (PC).

Secondary host
It can be a handheld terminal or another PC.
Field devices
Field devices include:

 transmitters
 actuators
 controllers that respond to commands from the
primary or secondary host.

 HART devices can operate in one of two network


configurations—
• Point-to-Point
• Multi-drop
POINT-TO-POINT
• In point-to-point mode, one field devices is connected to the loop.
• The 4-20mA signal is used to communicate with field device for one process variable, configuration
parameters, and other device data transferred digitally using the HART Protocol (Fig 2).
MULTI-DROP
• The multi-drop mode of operation requires only a single pair of wires.
• Require safety barriers and an auxiliary power supply for up to 15 field devices (HART 5) or 62 field
devices (HART 7) (Fig 3).

• All process values are transmitted digitally.

• Use multi-drop connection for supervisory control and installations that are widely spaced operations
such as pipelines, custody transfer stations, and tank farms.
FREQUENCY SHIFT KEYING (FSK)
 The HART Communication Protocol is based on the Bell 202
telephone communication standard and operates using the
frequency shift keying (FSK) principle.

 The digital signal is made up of two frequencies: 1,200 Hz and


2,200 Hz representing bits 1 and 0, respectively.

 Sine waves of these two frequencies are superimposed on the


direct current (dc) analog signal cables to provide simultaneous
analog and digital communications (Fig 1).

 Get two or more digital updates per second from a smart field
device.

 Because the average value of the FSK signal is always zero, the
4-20mA analog signal is not affected.
FREQUENCY SHIFT KEYING (FSK)
Two-way communication
 Using an analog signal, information can sent only one way, either from the device to the host
(inputs) or from the host to the device (outputs).

 Digital information, on the other hand, can travel in both directions using the HART digital
communications signal.

 A transmitter that traditionally only sends a process variable to the host can now also receive
information such as configuration settings.
 Traditional analog and discrete devices communicate only a single
process variable — and typically have no easy way to tell if the
information they're sending is valid.

 With HART, you still get the process variable (4 to 20mA) and other
types of information.

 35-40 information items are standard in every HART device.


• Device Status & Diagnostic Alerts
• Process Variables & Units
• Loop Current & % Range
• Basic Configuration Parameters
• Manufacturer & Device Tag
 With additional information like this, HART devices that are
digitally polled by a host can tell you if they're correctly configured
and operating correctly.

 This eliminates the need for most routine checks — and helps you
detect failure conditions before they cause a major process
problem.
HART COMMANDS

The HART Command Set provides uniform and consistent


communication for all field devices.

Host applications may implement any of the necessary


commands for a particular application.

1. Universal
2. Common practice
3. Device specific
HART COMMANDS
UNIVERSAL
All devices using the HART Protocol must recognize and support the universal commands.

Universal commands are required to be implemented by all HART devices. They are primarily used
by a controller to identify a field device and read process data.

COMMON PRACTICE
Common Practice commands provide functions implemented by HART Communication devices.
These include commands to change the range, select engineering units and perform self-tests.

DEVICE SPECIFIC
Device Specific commands represent functions that are unique to each field device. These
commands access setup and calibration information, as well as information about the construction
of the device. Information on Device Specific commands is available from device manufacturers.
HART COMMANDS
Wireless HART
WirelessHART is a wireless mesh network communications technology for process
automation applications.

It adds wireless capabilities to the HART Protocol while maintaining compatibility


with existing HART devices, commands, and tools.

Each WirelessHART network includes three main elements:


1. Wireless field devices
2. Gateways
3. A Network Manager
