HART on PROFIBUS
The PROFIBUS specification provides an open solution for incorporating HART
in PROFIBUS systems specifically. Here, the HART protocol is taken into
account in the specification as a PROFIBUS profile, which is also referred to as
“HART on PROFIBUS” for short.
This solution includes the use of the PROFIBUS communications mechanisms
without change to the PROFIBUS protocol and services, the PDUs or the state
machines and functional characteristics.
The HART client application is integrated within a PROFIBUS master and the
HART master within a PROFIBUS slave, the latter serving as a multiplexer and
handling the communication with the HART devices.
