What to do if Emerson Measuring Instruments have communication problems with HART-based Communicator?
- MMaria BaileyAug 4, 2025
If you're experiencing communication issues, begin by ensuring a minimum of 10.8 Vdc at the transmitter terminals. Verify the communications loop with a HART-based communicator and check for a loop resistor between 250 to 1000 ohms. Measure the loop resistor value (R) and source loop power supply voltage (V). Confirm that [V - (R x 0.024)] > 10.8 Vdc. Also, check if the transmitter is in multidrop or burst mode. If you have a three-wire pulse installation, remove the pulse connection. If problems persist, consider replacing the electronics.
