Hart Protocol Specifications

The HART Protocol defines commands and specifications to ensure communication between HART-enabled devices from various suppliers. It includes universal commands for basic operations, common practice commands for widely used functions, and device specific commands for unique device features. The protocol is structured in layers according to the OSI model and is currently at revision 7.3, ensuring backward compatibility with previous versions.

HART PROTOCOL

COMMANDS &
SPECIFICATIONS
▪ In order to make certain any
HART-enabled device from any supplier
can communicate properly and
HART respond to a command with the correct
information, the set and types of
PROTOCOL
commands are defined in the HART
COMMANDS Specifications and implemented in all
HART registered devices.
TYPES OF
HART
COMMANDS
▪All devices using the HART
Protocol must recognize and
support the universal commands.
UNIVERSAL ▪Universal commands provide
access to information useful in
normal operations (e.g., read
primary variable and units).
Common Practice
commands provide

COMMON functions implemented by


many, but not necessarily
PRACTICE
all, HART Communication
devices.
▪ Device Specific commands represent
functions that are unique to each field
device.

▪ These commands access setup and


DEVICE calibration information, as well as
information about the construction of the
SPECIFIC device.

▪ Information on Device Specific commands is


available from device manufacturers.
▪ The protocol is updated then and
there, it is updated in a way that
ensures backward compatibility
with previous versions.
HART
▪ The current version of the HART
PROTOCOL Protocol is revision 7.3.

LAYERS ▪ The “7” denotes the major revision


level and the “3” denotes the minor
revision level.
▪ The HART Protocol implements layers 1,2, 3,

4 and 7 of the Open System Interconnection

(OSI) 7-layer protocol model:

HART ▪ HART Physical Layer

▪ HART Data Link Layer


PROTOCOL
▪ Network Layer
LAYERS
▪ Transport Layer

▪ Application Layer
HART
PROTOCOL
LAYERS
▪ The HART Physical Layer is based on the
Bell 202 standard, using frequency shift
keying (FSK) to communicate at 1200 bps.

▪ The signal frequencies representing bit


HART values of 0 and 1 are 2200 and 1200Hz
respectively.
PHYSICAL
▪ This signal is superimposed at a low level on
LAYER the 4-to-20mA analog measurement signal
without causing any interference with the
analog signal.
▪ The HART Data Link Layer defines a
master-slave protocol – in normal use, a
field device only replies when it is
spoken to.
▪ There can be two masters, for example, a
HART DATA control system as a primary master and
a handheld HART communicator as a
LINK secondary master.
▪ Timing rules define when each master
LAYER may initiate a communication
transaction. Up to 15 or more slave
devices can be connected to a single
multidrop cable pair.
▪ The Network Layer provides routing,
end-to-end security, and transport
services.
NETWORK
▪ It manages “sessions” for end-to-end
LAYER communication with correspondent
devices.
▪ The Transport Layer: The Data-Link
Layer ensures communications are
successfully propagated from one device

TRANSPOR to another.

▪ The Transport Layer can be used to


T LAYER
ensure end-end communication is
successful.
▪ The Application Layer defines the commands,
responses, data types and status reporting supported by
the Protocol. In the Application Layer, the public
commands of the protocol are divided into four major
groups:

APPLICATIO 1. Universal Commands – provide functions which must


be implemented in all field devices

N LAYER 2. Common Practice Commands – provide functions


common to many, but not all field devices

3. Device Specific Commands – provide functions that


are unique to a particular field device and are specified
by the device manufacturer
