HART Communication Protocol

Engineers at Rosemount created HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) in the late 1980s to replace the older 4-20 mA method for sending a process variable from analog instruments with a digital signal. It has since become the most widely adopted protocol in process automation worldwide.

Drawing on eighteen years of experience in HART technical support and product development, author James Powell offers a hands-on handbook for anyone who works with the protocol. Rather than treating it as a theoretical subject, the book focuses on applying HART correctly in real installations, with the goal of helping readers get their projects right.

The guide is aimed at the people who design, integrate and maintain HART-based systems, and it concentrates on practical use from the field's point of view.
