 Input/Output Channels 

(3HRT04/3HTSG4) 

 

The FB3000 RTU supports a HART

®

 (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) module with four 

(4) channels. This allows the FB3000 to communicate with external HART devices such as 
transmitters. 

 

DANGER

 

Ensure the RTU is in a non-hazardous area. Never open the enclosure in a hazardous area.   

 

 

DANGER

 

EXPLOSION HAZARD: Ensure the area in which you perform this operation is non-hazardous. 
Performing this operation in a hazardous area could result in an explosion.  

 

Insert the 3HRT04 module in any base chassis slot except slot 1 and insert its corresponding 
3HTSG4 module below it.  

Note: 

The 3HRT04 module requires a chassis of Revision H or newer.

 

The 3HRT04/3HTSG4 modules cannot be used in an extension chassis. 

You can configure a channel for point-to-point operation in which case it communicates with a 
single HART device. Alternatively, you can configure a channel for multi-drop operation in which it 
communicates with up to five (5) HART devices in parallel.

An individual HART channel can be configured in FBxConnect as either 
an input or an output, but not both. 
 
A HART input supports either point-to-point or multi-drop mode 
 
A HART output supports only point-to-point mode; in multi-drop mode, 
there is no analog signal output available.

DANGER

 

Ensure the RTU is in a non-hazardous area. Never open the enclosure in a hazardous area.
