HART1 Communications for the SITRANS LC 500

Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) is an industrial protocol that rides on top of a 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

The SITRANS LC 500 can be configured over the HART network using either the HART Communicator 275 by Fisher-Rosemount, or a software package. There are a number of different software packages available.The recommended software package is the Simatic Process Device Manager (PDM) by Siemens.

HART Device Descriptor (DD)

In order to configure a HART device, the configurator must have the HART Device Descriptor for the unit in question. HART DD’s are controlled by the HART Communications Foundation. The HART DD for the SITRANS LC 500 will be released in 2003. Please check availability with the HART Communications Foundation. Older versions of the library will have to be updated in order to use all the features in the SITRANS LC 500.

Simatic Process Device Manager (PDM)

This software package is designed to permit easy configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of HART and Profibus PA devices. The HART DD for the SITRANS LC 500 was written with Simatic PDM in mind and has been extensively tested with this software.
