function block diagram An IEC 61131 language that describes a function between input variables and
output variables. Input and output variables are connected to blocks by
connection lines. See 'limited variability language'.
functional safety The ability of a system to carry out the actions necessary to achieve or to
maintain a safe state for the process and its associated equipment.
G

HART HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) is an open protocol for
process control instrumentation. It combines digital signals with analogue
signals to provide field device control and status information. The HART
protocol also provides diagnostic data. (For more details of HART devices refer
to the HART Application Guide, created by the HART Communication
Foundation, and their detailed HART specifications. You can download
documents from www.hartcomm.org.)
high demand mode Where the Safety Instrumented Function in the Safety System only performs
its designed function on a demand, and the frequency of demands is greater
than one per year.
hot swap See live insertion.
I
I/O base unit A backplane assembly which holds up to three I/O modules and their
associated termination assembly or assemblies in an AADvance controller.
Part number 9300. See 'I/O module' and 'termination assembly'.
