There is a problem with our HART475 it is not communicating
with smart devices error becomes "NO DEVICE FOUND"we have
insert 250ohm resistance as per requirement but invain plz
tell me the solution?

Answer Posted / carl_ellis

1) How do you know that the device talks HART? Many field transmitters talk Brain, Honeywell DE, Foundation Fieldbus, Profibus or 4-20mA only.

Have you confirmed the HART functionality on that device?

2) Point-to-point (communicator-to-transmitter) is usually done with the device at address 0 and with the communicator polling address 0.
Is the communicator polling address 0?
Is the device at address 0?

3) On many transmitters, HART can be disabled. Is HART enabled on this transmitter?

4) The transmitter has to be powered, initialized and in its operating mode in order to communicate via HART. Sometimes transmitters are not powered, but when connecting from the a marshalling panel, it is obvious, because the transmitter is remote location. Is the transmitter powered and operating?

5) Are connections across the dropping resistor or across the transmitter's (+) or (-) terminals? Connecting across a pressure transmitter's 'test' terminals will not work properly for HART communication.

6) A loop isolator module that is not specifically designed for HART will strip off the HART signal, but pass the 4-20mA current signal. If a loop isolator is installed in the loop, is it designed for HART operation.

7) If the power supply ripple and noise exceeds the HART specification, the power supply noise will interfere with HART or prevent communication entirely.

8) The 475 can have 3 terminals at the top where the banana plug field cable plugs in. 2 terminals are for HART, 2 terminals are for Foundation Fieldbus (FF). If the cable is plugged into the 2 terminals for FF, HART communications will be blocked by not having a cable in the correct port.

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.
