What are the problems faced while testing HART instruments?..

Answer / carl_ellis

Failure to connect with HART can be a laundry list of
issues, the most common of which is the

lack of minimum 230 ohm resistance in the loop.
Other reasons can be
- HART probes connected across the DC power supply, not in
the loop
- failed DC power supply
- electrically noisy DC power supply
- HART modem lacks installed PC driver or internal setup
(serial modems were touchy)
- HART device not at expected HART address (address zero for
point-to-point comm)
- device does not have HART option or HART option has been
disabled.
- HART option replaced by different fieldbus comm card (it's
happened! !)
- Connecting across the test terminals on a pressure
transmitter where there's no HART signal
- HART communicator is dysfunctional or its batteries are
discharged
- lack of DD in communicator/program limits access to the
common commands

A temperature sensor (RTD) connected via a temperature transmitter is adjusted to give an output of 4ma at 60 deg and 20 ma at 600 deg. This output (4-20ma) from the transmitter is connected to an IGBT-inverter to control a high speed (-12,000 to +12,000 RPM) DC motor. And in the inverter it is programmed as, for 4ma the motor speed will be -3,000 RPM and for 20ma the motor speed will be +10,000 RPM. The question is : If the motor speed is +5,500 (RPM), what will be the temperature? (-sign indicates that the motion is in reverse direction).
