HART Communications for SITRANS LR 400

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
SITRANS LR 400 can be configured over the HART network using either the HART
Communicator 275/375 by Fisher-Rosemount, or a software package. The recommended
software package is the SIMATIC® Process Device Manager (PDM) by Siemens.
SITRANS LR 400 should work well with any of the different software packages available.
HART Device Description (DD)
The SITRANS LR 400 cannot be set up with a Generic DD. To configure a HART device,
the configurator must have the HART Device Description for the SITRANS LR 400. All
HART DDs are collected by the HART Communication Foundation (HCF) and are placed in
the HCF library. Please see the manufacturer of your configurator for an updated HCF
library.
