Appendix E: HART Communications
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 the HART Communication Foundation at
SITRANS LR460 can be configured over the HART network using either the HART
Communicator 375 by Fisher-Rosemount, 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.
HART Device Description (DD)
SITRANS LR460 cannot be set up using a generic DD. The configuration software needs
the HART Device Description for SITRANS LR460.
You can download the HART DD for SITRANS LR460 from the product page of our
website. Go to: www.siemens.com/lr460 and click on Downloads.
Older versions of the library will have to be updated in order to use all the features of
SITRANS LR460.
SIMATIC Process Device Manager (PDM)
This software package is designed to permit easy configuration, monitoring, and
troubleshooting of HART devices. The HART DD for SITRANS LR460 was written with
SIMATIC PDM in mind and has been extensively tested with this software.
