LED indication

The HART communication module has a LED that can display the following status:

 At start when power supply goes on, the LED remain fixed on.

 After five second, if the module is OK the LED blinking three times.

 At this point the LED flash on-off only during its transmission.

 General Description

HART (acronmimous of Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) was developed by Rosemount

in the mid-1980s, as microprocessor-based digital 'smart' instruments were first appearing.

HART allowed digital data to be superimposed on to conventional 4-20mA cable loops without
disturbing analogue signals since its average is zero.

HART is a master-slave protocol which means that a field device only replies when it is spoken to.
It is used to communicate digitally with the outside world for remote configuration, diagnostics
and management purposes.
HART can provide many 'fieldbus-like' functions and it retains full backwards-compatibility with
existing control strategies.When this option is installed it is possible to read the process data from
the Flow meter.

The HART protocol uses the Bell 202 standard frequency shift keying (FSK) signal to
communicate at 1200 baud.

The module supports HART commands including Universal, Common Practice and
Device Specific Command.

The Hart protocol implemented in the module is conforms to Hart revision 7.0.

The HART module mounted in the Electromagnetic Flow Meter is used for to connect the
converter to the HART fieldbus network.

The HART slave can be addressed by two Masters for example a permanent master and a
temporary Master like a hand held communicator.

When the HART fieldbus is in digital mode configuration (multi-drop) there can be two masters
(e.g.a control system and a hand-held communicator) and up to 15 devices connected to the
same bus.

The HART module mounted in the Electromagnetic Flow Meter does not implement the HART
Burst mode.

Wiring

Signal wiring not need be shielded, but twisted pair should be used for best results.In order to
ensure reliable communication, the wiring should be 24 AWG or larger and should not exceed 1
mile in length.
NOTE : Do not run signal wiring in conduit or open trays with power wiring, or near
heavy electrical equipment or motors or generators.

Signal wiring may be grounded at any one point in the signal loop, or it may be left ungrounded.

The negative terminal of the power supply is a recommended grounding point.

 Device Description File

To communicate with the converter with the HART module a Device Description File (DD file)
compatible with the Smart Device Communicator SDC 625 relased by the Hart Communication
Foundation is required. You can download the DD file at http://www.mccrometer.com/support/hart.
