DETCON MODEL SERIES 700 UNIVERSAL HART BRIDGE MODBUS HRT BRIDGE MODBUS

The HRT Bridge PCA is a bi-directional digital communication interface that provides data communication between the Model 700 sensors and HART-enabled devices. The HART(Highway Addressable RemoteTransducer) Communication Protocol is a standard for sending and receiving digital information across analog wires between smart devices and a control host or monitoring system. A host can be any software application from a technician's hand-held device or laptop to a plant's process control, asset management, safety or other system using any control platform. The HARTCommunication Protocol makes use of the Bell 202 Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) Standard tosuperimpose digital communication signals on the 4-20mA signal utilized by the Model 700 sensors. This enables two-way communication and makes it possible for additional information to be transferred to and from the sensor. The HRT Bridge PCA communicates with the Model 700 sensors via its Modbus interface and transfers that information to the HARTCommunication Protocol along with the 4-20mA Signal. This provides the abilityfor a HARTHost System to communicate with the Model 700 sensor. This communication includes theability for the Host to: • Configure or re-configure the sensor • Perform sensor diagnostics• Troubleshoot the sensor • Read additional information from the sensor • Determine the sensor’s health and status
