b. Device Description
The HART (Highway Addressable Remote
Transducer) Communicator is a hand-held
communications interface device. It provides a
common communications link to all microproc-
essor-based instruments which are HART com-
patible. The hand-held communicator contains
an 8 x 21 character liquid crystal display and 25
keys. A pocket-sized manual, included with the
HART Communicator, details the specific func-
tions of all keys.
To interface with the IFT 3000, the HART Com-
municator requires a termination point along the
4-20 mA current loop, and a minimum load re-
sistance of 250 ohms between the communica-
tor and the power supply. The HART
Communicator accomplishes its task by use of a
frequency shift keying (FSK) technique. With the
use of FSK, high-frequency digital communica-
tion signals are superimposed on the 4-20 mA
transmitter current loop. The communicator
does not disturb the 4-20 mA signal, since no
net energy is added to the loop.
The HART Communicator may be interfaced
with a personal computer, providing special
software has been installed. To connect the
HART Communicator to a PC, an interface
adaptor is required. Refer to the proper HART
Communicator documentation in regard to the
PC interface option.
