HART COMMUNICATIONS
The HART Communicator interfaces with any HART instrument from any wiring termination point in a
4–20 mA loop, provided a minimum load resistance of 250 ohms is present between the communicator and
power supply. The HART Communicator uses the Bell 202 frequency shift keying (FSK) technique. This
technique superimposes high-frequency digital communication signals on the standard 4–20 mA transmitter
current loop. Because the net energy added to the loop is zero, communication does not disturb the 4–20 mA
signal.
