9 HART Communication

9 HART Communication
For ease of identification, each HART device features a configurable 8-character HART tag. In addition to
the HART tag, each device has a HART address (set to the default value 0). At this address, the device
operates in HART standard communication mode (point-to-point operation).
When an address in the range 1 to 15 is used, the device switches to HART multidrop mode. This
operating mode enables users to connect up to 15 devices in parallel to a power supply.
In multidrop mode, an analog output signal that matches the Primary Value is not available. The output
signal in multidrop mode is basically a constant 4 mA and is used exclusively for the power supply. In
multidrop mode, sensor or process data information is available as a HART signal only.
In addition to point-to-point and multidrop modes, the third type of HART communication is burst mode.
When Burst Mode is activated, the device transmits a HART telegram continuously, containing process
information approximately every 500 ms without prompting by a HART command – refer to page 69 for
further details of Burst Mode.

9.1 HART Device Type Codes

All HART products contain unique identifiers that specify the device type.
