what is the difference about HART, and 4-20mA signal?

Answer Posted / khaled khreim

The HART Protocol is an acronomy of Highway Adressable
Remote Transducer,it uses the frequancy shift koeying
standard to impose digital communication on top of the 4-
20mA signal.
this enables a two way field communication to take place,
making it possible for additional info rather than the
process variable only.
Hart protocol is a Master/Slave protocol, the HART protocol
can be used in different modes like point to point or
multidrop for communicating info from/to smart fiel device
and the controller, the field device and the controller
should be HART enabled.
In general HART protocol opens two communication channels:
the first one is the 4-20mA normal signal for the measured
value using the 4-20mA current loop. And the second chanel
is the digital signal whic is imposed on the analog one.The
digital signal gives additional info about the field device
such as device status, diagnosis, and other types of info

A PLC is programmed to drive three motors A, B and C as follows : After running motor A for an hour, motor B should get ON and motor A should get OFF. And after running motor B for an hour, motor C should get ON and motor B should get OFF. And after running motor C for an hour, motor A should get ON and motor C should get OFF. (That is, a cyclic repetition with time period one hour) Now, the second condition is: If any motor gone faulty and is tripped, the consecutive motor should get ON and the faulty (tripped) motor should be eliminated from cyclic repetition. The remaining two motors should bear the cyclic repetition of one hour each. (For healthy motor take logic as high and for tripped motor take logic as low) Now, the third condition is: When motor A load(Amps) exceeds 60% of its rated load, motor B should get ON in parallel to motor A. And when both motors A & B are running in parallel, and if their load exceeds 60% of their rated load, motor C should also start in parallel to A & B. [Here the cyclic repetition is eliminated, until their loads become normal(40%)] [Take logic high(1) for load at 60% and logic low(0) for load at 40%] Now draw a flow chart or a ladder diagram to fulfill the above condition.
