Appendix C: Hart Communications; Hart Electronic Device Description (Edd) - Siemens SITRANS Probe LU Operating Instructions Manual

Appendix C: HART Communications

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
SITRANS Probe LU can be configured over the HART network using either the HART
Communicator, or a software package. There are a number of different software
packages available, and the SITRANS Probe LU should work well with any of them. The
recommended software package is the SIMATIC Process Device Manager (PDM) by
Siemens.

HART Electronic Device Description (EDD)

SITRANS Probe LU (HART) cannot be configured using a generic EDD.
Note:
In order to configure a HART device, the configurator must have the HART Electronic
Device Description for the device in question. HART EDD's are controlled by the HART
Communication Foundation.
Please contact your local Siemens representative concerning the availability of the HART
EDD for SITRANS Probe LU. Older versions of the library will have to be updated in order
to use all the features in the SITRANS Probe LU.
