We can save money with this setup because the protocol needs fewer cables than a traditional current loop installation. In the HSE version, you have ten megabits per second to integrate high-speed controllers, subsystems, servers, and workstations. The H1 link has The H1 also allows many devices to connect to a single wire pair, reducing the cost of installation. We can also set up redundant systems and equipment for backups.

The use of existing cabling and multipoint connections provides significant savings in the costs of installing the network. What is HART? HART is the oldest and most widely used communication protocol. Can save cable through using multidrop Reduces operating costs via improved management and utilisation of smart instrument networks.
Multidrop Capability. HART provides a single pair of wire to each field device and powers the device over the 4 to 20 ma signal current. FF is a true multidrop technology with a theoretical limit 32 devices which is practically Use in Safety Instrumented Systems. Presently HART is the only option and all devices are wired individually.
This is one of the key decision makers in brownfield plants staying with HART ie. The Fieldbus Foundation is working on FF safety systems, however it needs a very robust approach. The FF specification is now in place and first devices are likely in Control in the Field and Advanced applications. This control is very fast and synchronous compared to traditional non-synchronous DCS control.
It also has less failure modes. FF is the only fieldbus technology capable of supporting the deployment of control strategies into field-devices using standard and advanced function blocks e.
The result of this is that it;. HART does actually have this feature, however it is available in digital mode only and not well accepted by industry. FF however has instruments already available such as multiple temperature interfaces, pressure and temperature plus flow.
This feature has huge potential, for example how about one transmitter which gives you level, temperature, pressure, sg. Whilst not available to date only FF has the processing power to make it possible. HART has a very limited ability to look at one transmitter only whereas FF if configured correctly means that once you plug in an instrument you can access all its details and get playing! Footprint and Hardware Savings. If you require full functionality HART adds to hardware, multiplexers are required to source information from several devices and this generally creates a more complex interface.
Commissioning Speed. Any training must cover all disciplines, process and technical personnel. Otherwise you will find Instrument Technicians who utilise analogue techniques and tools. Then a FF installation will be difficult and take longer than an analogue one.
Generally commissioning times are approximately as follows;. HART — Up to 4 hours for individually wired devices and physical intervention is required to source signal via handheld, which is a disadvantage.
FF — The networking capability of FF allows the user to commission an FF field device in minutes, this has been proven in many installations. Full Specifications- In the Device. In some FF devices the full specifications are embedded at the factory and thus these travel with the instrument and give the advantages that they can be uploaded directly to Asset Management software.
