HART Assimilates Universal Standard: HART-IP delivers HART data to high-level applications via Internet Protocol

摘要

Industrial use of Ethernet and TCP/IP is growing rapidly, outpacing conventional industrial communications protocols, according to a 2013 IMS Research study, because it runs on widely available and standard physical and wireless media, and is often easier to integrate with office and information systems. So it's no surprise that many fieldbus specifications have adopted corresponding industrial Ethernet protocols. In 2012, the HART Communication Foundation officially added a HART over Internet protocol (HART-IP) capability to the HART Protocol, a specification for transmitting the HART Protocol over the increasingly common IP using either Transmission Communication Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
