Section 8: Safety Instrumented Systems (4-20 mA Only)
November 2014
The HART loop must be referenced to ground in one point located between the power supply
and the load resistor. Either the negative or the positive pole of the power supply can be ground
referenced, depending on the placement of the load resistor. See
