Appendix F: HART Communications
Highway Addressable Remote Transducer, HART, is an industrial protocol that is
superimposed on the 4-20 mA signal. It is an open standard, and full details about HART
can be obtained from the HART Communication Foundation at www.hartcomm.org
SITRANS LR560 can be configured over the HART network using either the HART
Communicator 375 by Emerson, or a software package. The recommended software
package is the SIMATIC Process Device Manager (PDM) by Siemens.
SIMATIC PDM
This software package is designed to permit easy configuration, monitoring, and
troubleshooting of HART devices. The HART EDD for SITRANS LR560 was written with
SIMATIC PDM in mind and has been extensively tested with this software.
For more information, see
Operating via SIMATIC PDM
on page 37.
