7.3.2 Digital Output (Communication)

A malfunctioning digital output can indicate a defective communication circuit. More commonly,

however, these problems are caused by an incorrect or poor installation. It is possible to install a

transmitter such that the 4-20 mA signal is correct, yet the digital HART signal is not.

The most common symptom of a communication problem is the inability to locate a transmitter on the

loop using a HART Master Device, such as the HART Communicator. Typical messages from the HART

Communicator include: device disconnected, no device found, or communication error.

If communication problems occur, check the following. Refer to the specifications in Section 9 and to

Section 4 Installation as necessary.

• Check that loop resistance is between 250Ω and 1100Ω.

• Check that electrical noise on the loop is not excessive: power supply ripple should not exceed 12

mVp-p.

• Check that there are no high inductance devices in the loop (I/P for example). Install a HART

communication filter across such a device.

• Check that the power supply voltage is high enough for the installed total loop resistance. Refer to

Section 4 Installation.

• Refer to Section 4 Installation and confirm that loop cable length is not excessive.

• Check that the HART Master is connected across a load.
