History of HART?
HART was developed by Rosemount in 1986 for their smart transmitter. After continued development and expansion to support other devices it was made an open protocol in late 1989. 18 users (manufacturers) started using HART protocol in 1989 Group increased to 79 users in 1993. In 1993 the HART Communication Foundation (HCF) was formed & Fisher Rosemount transferred ownership of the HART protocol to the HCF. The HCF is an independent, non-profit corporation, organized to serve growing industry interest in the HART protocol and the needs of HART users. Its mission is to coordinate, promote and support the application of HART technology worldwide.
Field proven concept that is easy to understand and use Compatible with existing 4-20 mA systems Simultaneous point-to-point 4-20 mA and digital communication Alternative multi-drop mode Measured variables, tag number, range and span settings, device information, diagnostics and simple message transmitted. Digital response time of 500 ms; Burst mode response of 300 ms Open architecture; freely available to any vendor and every users

Method of Operation
Method of Operation
The HART protocol operates using the frequency shift keying(FSK) principle, which is based on the Bell 202 communication standard The Digital signal is made up from two frequencies - 1200Hz and 2200 Hz, representing bits 1 and 0 respectively
Sine waves of these two frequencies are superimposed on the direct current (DC) analog signal cables to provide simultaneous analog and digital communication. Average value of the FSK signal is always zero, hence the 4-20 mA analog signal is not affected.
Communication Modes
Master-Slave Mode During normal operation, each slave (field device) communication is initiated by master communication device. Two master can connect to each HART loop. Primary Master : DCS / PLC / Personal Computer Secondary Master : Handheld terminal or PC (Dedicated for HART configuration) Slave device include transmitter, actuator, and controller etc..
Burst Mode
The master instructs the slave device to continuously broadcast a standard HART reply message (e.g. the value of the process variable).
The master receives the message at the higher rate (3-4 data updates per second) until it instructs the salve to stop bursting.
