Digital communication
Communication HART protocol
G00419
The HART protocol is used for digital communication between a
process control system or PC, a handheld terminal and the FAM540.
All meter and measuring point parameters can be transmitted. In
reverse direction, the integrated converter can also be configured in
this manner.
The digital communication utilizes an AC signal superimposed on the
analog current output (4 ... 20 mA) that does not affect any meters
connected to the output.
HART communication is performed via FSK modem with point-to-
point or multidrop operation.
Transmission method
FSK modulation at current output of 4 ... 20 mA based on the Bell
202 standard. Max. signal amplitude 1.2 mA
