HART device
A device that communicates information using the HART protocol.
HART loop
A communication network in which the master and slave device are
HART-smart or HART-compatible.
HART protocol
Highway Addressable Remote Transducer communication protocol.
An industry-standard protocol for digitally enhanced 4-20 mA
communication with Smart devices.
HART tag
An 8-character field used to identify a device. A 32-character long tag
is also possible with HART Universal Revision 6 or higher devices.
