HART Communication Protocol


Why HART protocol ? 4-20 ma is tried, tested and widely used standard but only limited amount of information is sent by a 4-20 ma signal. HART (Hiway Addressable Remote Transducer) protocol enhances these operations by transmitting digital data along with the 4-20 ma signal without interfering with it ! HART permits two-way communications. It also has all digital mode that allows instrument to be connected to a single cable, cutting installation costs dramatically.

HART : Features
     Field proven concept that is easy to understand and use. Compatible with existing 4-20 ma systems. 4Simultaneous point-to-point 4-20 ma and digital point-to4communication. Alternative multi-drop mode. multiMeasured variables, tag no. , range and span settings, device information, diagnostics and simple messages transmitted. Digital response time of 500 msec; burst mode response of 300 msec. Open architecture; freely available to any vendor and every user.

 

HART : Method of Operation

The Hart protocol operates using the FSK principal. The digital data is made up from two frequencies 1200 Hz and 2200 Hz representing bits 1 and 0 respectively. Sinusoidal waves of these frequencies are superimposed on the DC analog signal cables to give simultaneous analog and digital communications

HART : Protocol Structure

HART follows the basic Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model, developed by the International Organization for Standard (ISO). The HART protocol uses a reduced OSI model, implementing only layers 1,2 and 7

HART : Protocol Layers


Layer 1, the physical layer, operates on the FSK principle Data transfer rate: 1200 bit/s Logic 0 frequency: 2200 Hz Logic 1 frequency: 1200 Hz the vast majority of existing wiring is used for this type of digital communication. Layer 2, the link layer establishes the format for a hart message. HART is a master/slave protocol. the structure of these messages is given below: Pream ble SD AD CD BC Statu Dat Parit s a y

SD start character. AD display terminal and field addresses. CD HART instruction. BC Byte count. Status Field device and communication status (only from field device to master) The individual characters are : 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 bit for odd parity and 1 stop bit.

HART : Protocol Layers


Layer 7, the application layer, brings the HART instruction into play. The master sends messages with requests for specified values, actual values and any other data or parameters available from the device. The field device interprets these instruction as defined in the HART protocol. The response message provides the master with the status information and data from the slave. For slave devices, logical uniform communication is provided by the following command sets: Universal commands understood by all field devices. Common practice commands provide functions which can be carried out by many, though not all, field devices. DriveDrive-specific commands provide functions which are restricted to an individual device.

HART : Technical Data


DATA TRANSMISSION Types of data transmission : Transfer rate 0 bit information frequency : 1 bit information frequency : Signal structure for odd parity, 1 stop bit. Transfer rate for simple variables : (poll/response) Frequency shift keying (FSK) : 1200 bit/s. 2200 Hz 1200 Hz : 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 bit Approximately 2/s

DATA INTEGRITY Physical layer : Error rate destination circuit : 1/(10^5) Link layer : Recognizes : all groups up to 3 corrupt bits and practically all longer and multiple groups. Application layer : Communication status terminated in a response message.
