Further information on the HART topic can be downloaded
from the homepage of the HCF user organization (HART
COMMUNICATION FOUNDATION) at www.hartcomm.org
The HART protocol can be implemented by any
manufacturer and it can be freely used by any user. This
open communication protocol between operating and field
device is supported by the HART Communication
Foundation (HCF). The HCF also provides technical
support for the user. Among other things, the HCF monitors
the openness of the protocol and manages device
descriptions of all devices approved for operation.

14.3 HART Operating Mode (Polling/Burst) for Point-
to-Point Connections and Multidrop Networks
Point-to-Point Connection (PTP)
For a point-to-point connection, connect a HART field
device (slave) to the HART operating device (master). The
master communicates with precisely one HART device via
one pair of wires. For this reason, the device address "0"
must be set for the HART field device (cf. Figure 5 and
Figure 6 on page 10).
Multidrop Network
In a multidrop network, the HART operating device
communicates with up to 5 HART field devices being
connected in parallel to the master via an individual wire pair
each (cf. Figure 7). The device address of each slave
determines which slave is addressed by the master. This
device address is to be preset according to the range from
1 to 15. Please make sure
– NOT to set the device address "0" for slaves
– NOT to assign device addresses twice.
Burst Mode Operation
Burst mode operation is only possible for point-to-point
connections. Here the slave is requested by the master to
send a standard HART response telegram (burst telegram).
This burst telegram is sent continuously by the HART slave
until the master cancels the request.
The command number of the response is variable and is
transmitted via the CONTROL object. This command
number is sent to the HART slave via command 108. After
this, burst mode operation is enabled via command 109.
The current response can be read via the POLL/
BURST_RESPONSE_CHANNEL_x_SLAVE_1 object.
In this operating mode a timeout is maintained:
If no response telegram is received within 800 ms, the
object length is set to 0.
When sending the burst command number or the burst
enter command, the first status byte of the response is
checked. If the HART device responds negatively to
commands 108 or 109, the response is made available in

Preamble: The preamble is used to synchronize the
HART devices.
SC: Start byte
The start byte indicates the sender (master,
slave, slave in burst mode) and whether a long
or a short address is used.
AD: Address
Length: 5 bytes = long address
1 byte = short address
Via this address the two masters are
distinguished, burst telegrams and field
devices are identified.
HC: HART command
The HART command encodes the master's
commands.
BC: Byte count = ST + DA
This byte indicates the number of transmitted
status and data bytes.
ST: Status
The response message of a HART slave
contains two status bytes. It indicates whether
the data was received without errors (= 0) and
the current field device status.
DA: Data
The maximum data length is 26 bytes,
depending on the HART command.
CS: Checksum of the entire telegram.
