HART Address
When field devices respond to HART polls they send packets with the
same short or long frame address format used in the poll. The field device
sets or clears the master address bit depending on which master the
response is for. If the device is also bursting data, it sets the burst mode
address bit; otherwise it clears this bit. You must program the host
processor to verify that the address field in a HART Response packet is
correct before it processes the remaining data in the packet.

Preamble
When the host processor requests data from the Burst Data table, the
packet that is received contains either a short frame or long frame address,
depending on the field device which sent that data to the Smart Transmitter
Interface. The master address bit may also be in either state, as field
devices alternate this bit between primary and secondary master when
bursting data.
