HART Pressure Transmitters

Hi there,

Yes you can. If you want to use the HART functionality - your input card would need this facility. The HART signal is only superimposed over the 4-20mA which is what you are interested in.

Just as a matter of interest, most trasmitters today come with HART already, but not many people use the actual functionality.

So in a nutshell - you can definately use the instrument as you would in a conventional 4-20mA loop.

Yes you can, without anydoubt.

The Hart functionnality will remain there and you can access to them via a pocket.

The Hart signal is a digital protocol which is carried (as an FSK signal) over the 4-20mA signal.

Yes, as all the others above have indicated.

Check-out the Wikipedia page on the Hart Protocol for confirmation reading. It's a calibration/transmission system that is superimposed upon the 4-20mA analog loop without interference between them - that's the beauty of it. The transmitter will behave just like a non-Hart transmitter if the Hart stuff isn't in use. Come to think of it, it will do the same if the Hart stuff is in use as well.
