It is supported by the HART Communication Foundation (HCF). Unlike the other “open” digital communication technologies applied to process instrumentation, HART is compatible with existing systems.

For many years, the process automation and control industry is dominated by 4-20 mA analog signal to carry process variable (PV) and control signals to and ...
