Why we use 250 ohm resister in series
hart communicator?

Answer Posted / carl_ellis

Answer #2 is not correct because the HART communicator is
not an analog input, it does not use a 1-5Vdc signal. A
HART communicator gets and display a transmitter's primary
variable (or other variables) as a digital value; NOT as an
analog value, not as a 1-5Vdc signal developed across an
analog input's resistor. I repeat, HART communications is
NOT analog in nature, it is digital.

The HART Foundation specifies a minimum resistance of 230
ohms, as described in answer #1, in order to develop the
1200 baud HART signal, that rides on top of the DC loop
current signal.

It's easy to prove that 250 ohms (for 1-5Vdc) is not a
requirement for HART communications as a bench test.

Take a 2 wire loop powered HART transmitter, connect a DC
power supply and use a 330 ohm resistor in series in the
loop. The communicator will work and the primary process
variable will be correct. Then try a 470 ohm resistor.
The 470 ohm resistor will work, as well, and the primary
variable will be correct.

Calculate the maximum pressure drop that can be allowed to occur across a control valve, so that we can prevent cavitation / flashing from occurring. Use the following formula: Δ P allow = Km (P1 – PvapourA) where, Δ P allow - the maximum allowable differential pressure for sizing purposes, or terminal pressure drop; Km- the valve recovery coefficient from the manufacturer’s catalogue; P1 - absolute inlet fluid pressure; PvapourA - absolute fluid vapour pressure at the inlet temperature; Use Atmospheric pressure = 101.3 kPa, P1 = 1200 kPa(g), PvapourA = 4 kPa, KM = 0.72
