 Abstract

For many years, the field communication standard for process automation equipment
has been a milliamp (mA) analog current signal. The milliamp current signal varies within a
range of 4-20mA in proportion to the process variable being represented. Li typical
applications a signal of 4mA will correspond to the lower limit (0%) of the calibrated range
and 20mA will correspond to the upper limit (100%) of the calibrated range. Virtually all
installed systems use this international standard for communicating process variable
information between process automation equipment. HART Field Communications Protocol
extends this 4-20mA standard to enhance communication with smart field instruments. The
HART protocol was designed specifically for use with intelligent measurement and control
instruments which traditionally communicate using 4-20mA analog signals. HART preserves
the 4-20 signal and enables two way digital communications to occur without disturbing the
integrity of the 4-20mA signal. Unlike other digital communication technologies, the HART
protocol maintains compatibility with existing 4-20mA systems, and in doing so, provides
users with a uniquely backward compatible solution. HART Communication Protocol is
well-established as the existing industry standard for digitally enhanced 4-20mA field
communication.
