(field device) communication is initiated by a master communication device. Two masters can connect to each
HART loop. The primary master is generally a distributed control system (DCS), programmable logic controller (PLC),
or a personal computer (PC). The secondary master can be a handheld terminal or another PC. Slave devices include
transmitters, actuators, and controllers that respond to commands from the primary or secondary master.in this
session we are going to discuss about Basics of Hart Communicator

THEORY

The HART Communicator is a menu driven system. Each screen provides a menu of options that can be selected
as outlined above, or provides direction for input of data, warnings, messages, or other instructions.
When the HART Communicator is turned on, one of two menus will appear.
If the HART Communicator is connected to an operating loop, the communicator will find the device and display
the Online Menu (see below).
If it is not connected to a loop, the communicator will indicate that no device was found. When you press OK
(F4), it will display the Main menu.
The Main Menu provides the following options:
Offline–saves or retrieves transmitter configuration information.
Online–connects the communicator to a compatible device
Frequency Device–The Frequency Device option displays the frequency output and corresponding pressure
output of current-to-pressure transmitters.

Utility–The Utility option provides access to the contrast control for the HART Communicator LCD screen and 
to the auto poll setting used in multidrop applications.

HART Communicator is connected to an active loop and can detect an operating transmitter.
On-line mode is used for direct evaluation of a particular meter, reconfiguration, changing parameters,
maintenance, and other functions.
The keys of the HART Communicator include action, function, and alphanumeric and shift keys.

Action Keys

ON/OFF Key Use this key to power the HART Communicator.

When the communicator is turned on, it searches for a transmitter on the 4–20 mA loop.
If a device is not found, the communicator displays the message, “No Device Found. Press OK.”

If a HART-compatible device is found, the communicator displays the Online Menu with device ID and tag

Directional Keys

Use these keys to move the cursor up, down, left, or right.
The right arrow key also selects menu options, and the left arrow key returns to the previous menu.

HOT Key

Use this key to quickly access important, user-selectable options when connected to a HART-compatible device.
Pressing the Hot Key turns the HART Communicator on and displays the Hot Key Menu.

See Customizing the Hot Key Menu in the HART Communicator manual for more information

Use the four software-defined function keys, located below the LCD, to perform software functions. On any Search
given menu, the label appearing above a function key indicates the function of that key for the current menu.
As you move among menus, different function key labels appear over the four keys. Search … S
For example, In menus providing access to on-line help, the label may appear above the F1 key. Simply press
the key to activate the function.

Data Entry

Some menus require data entry. Use the alphanumeric and shift keys to enter all alphanumeric information into
the HART Communicator. If we press an alphanumeric key alone from within an edit menu, the bold character
in the center of the key appears. These large characters include the numbers 0 through 9, the decimal point (.), Corrugated Pipe Price Lis
