Smart vs Conventional transmitters
Conventional
A conventional 4-20ma transmitter regulates the loop
current and provides only a process variable signal.
The zero and span adjustments are analog adjustments. n
the case of fixed range transmitters the zero and span
adjustments are limited to about plus/minus 2-3% of the
fixed zero or span values. Some conventional transmitters
have an adjustable turndown range, but calibrating a
turndown range requires a simulated process variable (an
applied calibration pressure or a simulated temperature
(RTD or thermocouple) electrical signal). Turndown is
generally limited to about 5:1 or 6:1.
Smart
A smart transmitter provides a process signal but can also
send/receive information about the instrument itself, e.g.
zero and span info, tag (instrument loop identification),
diagnostics, or even multiple process variables using a
digital protocol.
Configuration changes are done either with a keypad and
display or through a protocol like HART, which is
superimposed on the 4-20mA signal, so no additional wiring
is needed for smart communication. HART communication is
accomplished with a handheld communicator or a modem and
software.
Turndown rangeability can be as high as 100:1 (with reduced
accuracy at the low end); 15:1 or 20:1 with stated accuracy
and can be accomplished without applying an external
calibration signal, reference or supply.
Smart transmitters can communicate via a Fieldbus,
Foundation Fieldbus or Profibus.

We Have Two Field bus Pressure Transmitters of Different Sensor Range (I.E One is of Lower range and Another is of Higher Range).Is same Process Line. My Question is Can i provide Saturation Limit to my field Bus Transmitter as We can provide Saturation current limit to HART Instruments. As During Low Pressure Both Working OK ,But During High Pressure, transmitter with Lower sensor range Goes to Fault mode as Beyond its Sensor Limit it can Measure, So may I provide Saturation point Some where to Suppress This Fault during High Pressure.
