5.3.1 Network Power Supply Requirements
Type Network Power Supply
A Required
B Required
C Must not be used.
D Not required, but may be used.
Note: The ProSoft 5107/5207 HART interface may be used with any HART field device.
Connections for HART Devices (Types A, B, C and D)
The ProLinx HART interface card has power supply input terminals for powering
the devices in a network. This external power supply must be properly sized to
supply current to all the HART devices in the network. A good rule of thumb is
that each HART device may require as much as 20mA. Therefore, if you plan to
place 10 HART devices in a network, you must provide a 24VDC power supply
that can supply at least 200mA of output current.
WARNING: Whenever the HART module is used in multi-drop mode (2 to 15 instruments per
channel), each of the instruments 4 to 20mA analog signal is lost.
Notes
1 All four channels on the unit must be either Master Powered (Power Mode A)
or must be Loop or Self powered (Power Mode B). You cannot mix Power
Mode A and Power Mode B on the same unit. You can mix Loop powered
and Self powered instruments on the same unit. However, you cannot mix
Loop powered and Self powered instruments on the same channel.
2 For Master Powered, Multi-drop Mode and Point to Point Mode, a 1K, 1W
resistor must be connected across the + and - input terminals of each HART
channel. Resistors are supplied with each product.
3 When configuring loop powered instruments in a Power Mode B type multi-
drop network, use only one power supply per HART channel if you wish to
maintain channel to channel isolation. If channel to channel isolation is not
required, the same power supply may be used for all four channels. However,
a separate series resistor is required for each channel. An appropriately sized
resistor must be connected in series with the power supply for each channel.
The value and power rating of the resistor is dependant upon the number of
instruments in the loop and the length and gauge of the pair of wires
connecting the instruments to the unit. 250 Ohm, 3 Watt is a good, first
choice value.
4 If field instrument wiring is shielded, terminate shields at the ground terminals
of the HART connector. Do not terminate the shields at the instrument.
