HART
Monitors Extract Data
from Smart Instruments - Simple Modules Expand Transmitter Usefulness
- Greg Feliks - The
HART digital signal often contains additional
process measurements and other variables that may
include instrument status, diagnostic data, alarms,
calibration values and commands. In many cases,
HART instruments were installed simply because they
could be configured and diagnosed easily with a
handheld HART communicator device. For
a variety of reasons, the rest of the HART data often
goes unused. One reason is because of the prohibitive cost
of installing a plant-wide HART monitoring system.
Another reason is the lack of familiarity with alternatives.
A simple and cost effective solution for gathering HART
information is to use a HART interface device only
in the specific instances where it is needed most. Fortunately,
HART interface devices, available from several manufacturers,
make acquiring HART data a fairly simple
proposition. This HART data is then made available to
the control system via analog signals, discrete outputs
or serial communications. From our

v Foundation Fieldbus – The Facts and
the Real Difference -Jim Russell - Thanks to ICEweb
The question is often asked “Why should I install Foundation Fieldbus™ when
the features are all available with HART?” This White paper addresses this
question, provides some of the answers and covers the following;
- The Technologies
- Differences, Advantages and Disadvantages
- Why some Manufacturers / Suppliers continue to push HART
and put up a “Smokescreen”
