HART Transmitter Calibration Application Note
HART Transmitter Calibration Application Note
In today’s process plants, most new field instruments are smart digital instruments. Smart implies a microprocessor-based instrument with extra functionality and digital compensation, supporting multiple sensor types or multiple variables. These instruments generally offer better accuracy, long-term stability, and reliability than conventional analog instruments.
The most common class of smart instruments incorporates the HART protocol, with more than five million HART instruments in use in 100,000 plants worldwide. HART, an acronym for Highway Addressable Remote Transducer, is an industry standard that defines the communications protocol between smart field devices and a control system that employs traditional 4-20 mA wiring.
Two capabilities are required to properly service HART instruments: precision analog source and measure capability and digital communication capability. Until recently, this required two separate tools, a calibrator and a communicator. Today, the capabilities of those two tools are available in a single HART Documenting Process Calibrator that can help you quickly and effectively service HART instruments.
