COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.

The HART Signals and communication protocol has become a widespread solution, allowing for convenient and efficient parameterization of smart (intelligent) measuring devices. Additionally, device-specific diagnostic signals and data can be read which provides information about the device's physical health and allow for predictive maintenance. Monitoring various device parameters is also possibility with the HART signals and protocol.

This course introduces participant to the technology, circuitry, signaling, command set, and device description language (DDL) of HART protocol. participant also learn about HART-compatible field devices such as transmitters, process receivers, and field controllers.

Further, the course will also discuss the operation of process control loop; the HART signals and protocol; the HART device networks covering HART-highway addressable remote transducer, 4-20 mA analog signal, point-to-point and multidrop modes, packet structure and master/slave protocol; the HART field devices, HART networks, HART performance summary, wireless HART and HART signals security; and the HART architecture covering device identification, electronic device description language (EDDL), accessing data, wiring parameters and commanding devices.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the HART communication modes comprising of request and response, burst mode, events and event notification, block data transfer and features of block data transfer; the HART network topologies including point-to-point network, multidrop network wireless mesh; the wireless HART commands and HART communication stack consisting of HART communication layers and wired protocol; the HART-compatible field devices covering transmitters, valve positioners, field controllers, configuration, installation, checkout, monitoring, control and safety; and the HART devices, monitoring current loops and the proper application and future trends.
