HART communication

B.1

HART communication for SITRANS Probe LR

Highway Addressable Remote Transducer, HART, is an industrial protocol that is
superimposed on the 4-20 mA signal. It is an open standard, and full details about HART can
be obtained from HART Communication Foundation (https://fieldcommgroup.org/).
SITRANS Probe LR can be configured over the HART network using either a HART
handheld Communicator, or a software package. There are a number of different software
packages available. The recommended software package is the SIMATIC Process Device
Manager (PDM) by Siemens.
B.2

HART electronic device description (EDD)

Note
SITRANS Probe LR cannot be configured using a generic EDD.
In order to configure a HART device, the configurator must have the HART Electronic Device
Description for the device in question. HART EDD's are controlled by the HART
Communication Foundation.
Please contact your local Siemens representative concerning the availability of the HART
EDD for SITRANS Probe LR. Older versions of the library will have to be updated in order to
use all the features in the SITRANS Probe LR.
B.3

SIMATIC process device manager (PDM)

This software package is designed to permit easy configuration, monitoring, and
troubleshooting of HART devices. The HART EDD for SITRANS Probe LR was written with
SIMATIC PDM in mind and has been extensively tested with this software.
The Device Description for SIMATIC PDM may be downloaded from the product page of our
website, under downloads.
