Reference Manual Connecting to the HART Communicator ® MS-00909-0200-4037 July 2024 2 Connecting to the HART ® Communicator The host connects to the detector via the two-wire 4–20 mA current loop or the Intrinsically Safe (IS) port. Refer to the SafEye Quasar 900 Manual for connection details.
Connecting to the HART Communicator Reference Manual ® July 2024 MS-00909-0200-4037 2.3 Connecting two HART Communicators ® (primary and secondary master) Note 4–20 mA current load resistor, defined in the HART standard as 250–600. 2.4 Multidrop mode Optical gas detectors are safety devices requiring a 4–20 mA loop current to transmit important detector status data.
Reference Manual HART Device Description Language (DDL) ® MS-00909-0200-4037 July 2024 3 HART Device Description Language ® (DDL) The HART protocol incorporates a concept called the DDL that enables all suppliers of HART instruments to define and document their products in a single, consistent format. This format can be read by hand-held communicators, personal computers (PCs), and other process interface devices, regardless of manufacturer, allowing full functionality from any HART device.
