    5.3 HART HART Introduction The ONICON’ Model F-5500 transmitter complies with HART Protocol Revision 7.1. This section specifies all the device-specific features and documents HART Protocol implementation details (e.g., the Engineering Unit Codes supported). The functionality of this Field Device is described sufficiently to allow its proper application in a process and its complete support in HART-capable Host Applications.
  • Page 75 Primary Variable. HART Communication is supported on this loop. The 4-20mA output of the F-5500 should be configured for flow rate when using HART. If the 4-20mA output is set to report temperature, HART communication will report the 4-20mA value for temperature rather than flow.
