What is a communication protocol?Communication protocol refers to the specification for data exchange between different devices. In pressure transmitters, communication protocols are used to enable data transmission between the transmitter and other devices. The design of a communication protocol takes into account a variety of factors, including the speed of data transmission, data format, error detection, etc.
HART is a digital communication protocol used for communication between field smart meters and control room equipment. HART communication devices provide communication with relatively low bandwidth and moderate response times. The HART protocol establishes bidirectional communication between a 4~20mA sensor and a controller with a bidirectional HART communication circuit. The pressure sensor can send a digital signal to the controller via the HART protocol, and the controller can send commands to the sensor for parameter setting and adjustment.
The HART communication protocol of the pressure transmitter provides two simultaneous communication channels: 4~20mA analog signal and one digital signal. The 4~20mA signal uses a 4~20mA current loop to transmit the main measured value.
The HART protocol allows the transmission of digital information on a 4~20mA transmission loop, so the coexistence of digital and analog signals can be achieved without adding equipment. The HART protocol can transmit both analog and digital signals at the same time, so it is widely used in practical applications.
HART communication uses a digital signal superimposed on top of the pressure transmitter’s analog signal to transmit information about the pressure transmitter’s other devices. The digital signal of the pressure transmitter contains information from the device, including the status of the device, diagnostics, additional measurements or calculated values, etc. The combination of these two communication channels provides a low-cost, highly reliable, complete field communication solution for pressure transmitters that is easy to use and configure.
There are many ways to communicate with pressure transmitters, but intelligent pressure transmitters using the HART communication protocol are widely used in various industrial fields for pressure measurement in liquids or gases and in the process industry.
