HART (Highway
Addressable Remote
Transducer) Protocol
HART is an open protocol designed for process control
instrumentation.
The HART protocol combines digital signals with analog signals to
ready the digital signal for the process variable (PV). The HART
protocol also provides diagnostic data from the transmitter.
