HART

Industrial Ethernet

HART makes use of the known 4 – 20 mA standard signal for analogue data transmission. HART communication is modulated as additional signal to the analogue signal. Advantages: The digital HART signal can be transmitted simultaneously to the digital signal. The existing 4 – 20 mA infrastructure is thus also available for digital communication. Consequently, this allows for reading additional parameters and diagnostic data from field devices.

HART is based on the host-field device principle. The optional multidrop HART topology essentially complies with the line structures of fieldbus systems. In most cases, the conventional 4 – 20 mA point-to-point communication is used.

Product

Fieldbus

Communication systems

Many different fieldbus systems are available on the market. Certain preferences have evolved on a regional level or specifically to certain plant applications. Since AUMA actuators are implemented in all types of technical process plants around the globe, they are available with interfaces for the different established fieldbus systems within the process automation industry.

• Profibus DP
• Modbus RTU
• Foundation Fieldbus

Overall, AUMA devices are available with digital and analogue inputs to connect additional sensors to the fieldbus.
