• Service-proven analog measured value transmission
• Simultaneous digital communication with bidirectional data transmission
• Possibility of transmitting several measured variables from one field device (e.g. diagnosis, maintenance and process data)
• Connection to higher-level systems such as PROFIBUS DP
• Easy installation and startup

Use in conjunction with SIMATIC PDM

• Cross-vendor operation of all HART devices by means of standardized parameter records
• HART field devices that are described by HART DD are integrated in SIMATIC PDM through the HCF catalog. HART DD (Device Description) is standardized in SIMATIC PDM, multi-vendor and very widely used. Other HART field devices are integrated in SIMATIC PDM through EDD (Electronic Device Description)
• Easy operation and startup of field devices, also in
• hard-to-reach locations
• Expanded diagnosis, evaluation and logging functions
