20 HART Menu Structure HART protocol (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) is designed for connecting industrial sensors. HART allows digital data and power to be transmitted over two wires while maintaining compatibility with analog 4-20 mA loop current sensors. A typical application for HART is in explosion-proof equipment, where the low power of the HART signal facilitates compliance with the requirements of standards for intrinsically safe electrical circuits.
