Notes, Tips & Tricks 12.3 HART applications 12.3 HART applications System environment Implementation of intelligent field devices with HART functionality requires the following system environment (see the figure below): ● Current loop 4 - 20 mA ● HART configuration tool: The HART parameters can be set using an external handheld panel (HART Handheld) or a HART configuration tool (SIMATIC PDM).

Page 233: Appendix
Appendix Communication Problems If communication problems occur, you should check for the following: Connecting ● Configuration – Is the programming device or PC interface configured correctly? The SIMATIC Manager menu command Options > Set PG/PC Interface or the Windows Control Panel can be used to set the PG/PC interface parameters.

Page 234 Appendix A.1 Communication Problems ● Consistent project engineering and configuration in the CPU and CP – The project engineering settings loaded to the CPU or to a CP must match the configuration. The routing tables for the project/multiproject must have been created and all components loaded in the network configuration (NetPro).
