What Is A Wireless Hart Adapter? |
|
Answer» There are more than 35+ million 4-20 mA/HART devices in operation. For most of them, only the analog 4-20 mA signal is used in DAILY operation. The digital communication was only used for CALIBRATION and configuration at the time of commissioning. After that, HART often went unused because most legacy systems support only 4-20 mA, without HART communication pass-through. By installing a WIRELESS HART adapter on the 4-20 mA/HART transmitter, intelligent device management software can continuously monitor diagnostics to alert operators and TECHNICIANS to failures that could translate into process problems. That is, a WirelessHARTadapter can unleash the power of 4-20 mA/HART devices by communicating process variables and stranded data to device monitoring and asset management applications. The Wireless HART adapter connects to the 4-20mA / HART device or anywhere on the 4-20mA loop. The adapter may communicate information from a single HART-enabled device or MULTIPLE devices. The adapter may also be battery, loop or direct powered and may also provide the power to the device. There are more than 35+ million 4-20 mA/HART devices in operation.
