HART Communications for the SITRANS LR 400

Highway Addressable Remote Transducer, HART, is an industrial protocol that rides on
top of a 4-20 mA signal. It is an open standard, and full details about HART can be
obtained from the HART Communication Foundation
The SITRANS LR 400 can be configured over the HART network using either the HART
Communicator 275 by Fisher-Rosemount, or a software package. There are a number of
different software packages available, and the SITRANS LR 400 should work well with
any of them. The recommended software package is the SIMATIC® Process Device
Manager (PDM) by Siemens.

HART Device Descriptor (DD)

In order to configure a HART device, the configurator must have the HART Device
Descriptor for the unit in question. HART DDs are controlled by the HART
Communications Foundation. The HART DD for the SITRANS LR 400 is available on the
SITRANS LR 400 page of our website at www.siemens.com/milltronics.
Older versions of the library will have to be updated in order to use all the features in the
SITRANS LR 400. If you do not see SITRANS LR 400 under Siemens Milltronics using the
configurator, you will need to download an update file from our website:

SIMATIC Process Device Manager (PDM):

This software package is designed to permit easy configuration, monitoring and
troubleshooting of HART and PROFIBUS PA devices. The HART DD for the SITRANS
LR 400 was written with SIMATIC PDM in mind and has been extensively tested with this
software. The HART DD for the SITRANS LR 400 is available on the SITRANS LR 400 page
of our website at www.siemens.com/milltronics.
