Abstract
The majority of smart field devices installed worldwide today are HART-enabled. The HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) Protocol is the global standard for sending and receiving digital information across analog wires between smart devices and control or monitoring system. It is a bi-directional communication protocol that provides data access between intelligent field instruments and host systems. HART technology offers a reliable, long-term solution for plant operators who seek the benefits of intelligent devices with digital communication. Most automation networks in operation today are based on traditional 4-20mA analog wiring.  HART technology serves a critical role because the digital information is simultaneously communicated with the 4-20mA signal. The HART protocol directly contributes to cost savings in: Commissioning and installation, Plant operations, Maintenance. Transmitter that supports HART protocol is known as Smart Transmitter.
Today’s smart transmitters go beyond reporting a single variable. They use microprocessors to archive a variety of information, including calibration settings, operating conditions, and other diagnostic data.  Authors discuss the design of HART modem on AVR microcontroller without using a dedicated HART modem chip.
