What is BS EN 62453-309 – HART protocol about?
BS EN 62453-309 is a part of the IEC 62453 multi-series that discusses FDT interface specification. This European standard helps its users to understand the concepts of FDT interface and implement it in their organizations.
BS EN 62453-309 provides information for integrating the HART® technology into the FDT standard (IEC 62453-2).
BS EN 62453-309 specifies communication and other services.
Note: BS EN 62453-309 neither contains the FDT specification nor modifies it.
Who is BS EN 62453-309 – HART protocol for?
BS EN 62453-309 on FDT interface specification is useful for:
- Manufacturers of field devices and network components
- Application developers
- System integrators
Why should you use BS EN 62453-309 – HART protocol?
With the integration of fieldbuses into control systems, there are a few additional tasks to be performed. They may result in a large number of fieldbus- and device-specific tools in addition to system and engineering tools. Integration of these tools into higher-level system-wide planning or engineering tools is an advantage.
BS EN 62453‑302 when used in conjunction with BS EN 62453-2 provides you with extensive guidance on HART® technology and its protocol specific behaviours, protocol-specific usage, network management data types etc. These guidelines help you to understand the applications and their benefits for your organization.
Overall, BS EN 62453-2 helps you to incorporate HART® technology in your manufacturing operation efficiently.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 62453-309:2017 replaces BS EN 62453-309:2009, The main changes are provided in order to provide improved support for updates of the HART protocol (see 6.7 and the updated datatypes in Clauses 9, 10, and 12) and to support the introduction of the technology according to IEC 62453-42 [1] (see Clause 4).
