The possible lead length depends on the total capacity and 
the total resistance and can be estimated based on the 
following formula.

Avoid installing the cable together with other power leads (with 
inductive load, etc.), as well as the vicinity to large electrical 
installations. 
The HART handheld terminal can be connected to any 
connection point in the circuit if a resistance of at least 250 Ω 
is present in the circuit. If there is resistance of less than 250 
Ω, an additional resistor must be provided to enable 
communication. The handheld terminal is connected between 
the resistor and transmitter, not between the resistor and the 
power supply.

Modbus communication 
Using the Modbus protocol allows devices made by different 
manufacturers to exchange information via the same 
communication bus, without the need for any special interface 
devices to be used. 
Up to 32 devices can be connected on one Modbus line. The 
Modbus network can be expanded using repeaters.
