C.1 HART communications
Highw
ay 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 website:
HART Communication Foundation (
https://eldcommgroup.org/)
The r
adar device can be congured over the HART network using either the HART
Communicator 375 by Fisher-Rosemount, or a software package. The recommended
software package is the SIMATIC Process Device Manager (PDM) by Siemens.
C.2 HART communication protocol
This device supports HART
communication protocol. Signals are processed using Process
Intelligence which has been eld-proven in over 1,000,000 applications worldwide (ultrasonic
and radar).
C.3 SIMATIC PDM
This software package is designed to permit easy conguration, monitoring, and
troubleshooting of HART devices. The HART EDD for this device was written with SIMATIC PDM
in mind and has been extensively tested with this software. For more information, see Operating
via SIMATIC PDM (Page93).
C.4 HART Electronic Device Description (EDD)
In order to congure a HART device, the conguration software requires the HART Electronic
Device Description (EDD) for the instrument in question.
