HAR
T conguration
• Depending on the system design, the power supply may be separate from the PLC, or integral
to it.
• HART resistance [total loop resistance, that is, cable resistance plus 250 Ohm (resistor)] must
be limited according to the allowable operating area as shown in graph under Technical
reference (Page201).
A HART network requires a polling address be congur
ed.

It is recommended that only HCF registered modems be used.
Polling address
P
olling address (4.1) (Page145) (or poll ID) is a unique identier for the device on a HART
network.
Setting 0 to 63 (Se
t within range of 0 to 15 if HART 5 master used.)
Default 0
Prior to HART 6, the polling address was set to 0 for point to point operation. For HART
multidr
op mode, the device was set to any value other than 0 within the range. (Setting a
non-zero address forced the device into xed current mode.)
With HART 6 and above (version 7.6 supported by SITRANS LR500), multidrop mode no
longer depends on the polling address. However, it is recommended that a non-zero address
be set to avoid confusion based on previous HART requirements.
To put SITRANS LR500 into multidrop mode, disable Loop current mode (2.4.1) (Page120).
When Loop current mode is disabled, a low xed current is used, allowing for multiple
devices to be connected. (A custom xed current value can be entered in Loop current value
in multidrop mode (2.4.2) (Page120).)
