HART multidrop network
wiring
The Bell 202 physical layer is used for digital communication with the
HART protocol. Devices in a HART multidrop network communicate by
sending and receiving signals to and from one another.
Up to 15 transmitters can be connected using the Bell 202 standard.

transmitters can also participate in
a HART network.
• Using multiple transmitters in a HART network requires assigning a
unique address from 1 to 15 to each transmitter. Assigning an address
of 1 to 15 to the RFT9709 causes the primary mA output to remain at a
constant 4 mA level.
• A HART-compatible control system can communicate with any device
in a HART network over the same 2-wire pair.
Configuration switches on the RFT9709 allow the choice of Bell 202 or
RS-485 physical layers for HART or Modbus
®
communications. Make
sure switches are set as instructed in Section C.2, page 47, before
attempting to use the RFT9709 in a HART multidrop network.
Figure 2-11 shows how to connect multiple transmitters to a host
controller for Bell 202 HART digital communication.
• The Bell 202 standard requires twisted-pair wire.
• SMART FAMILY devices require a minimum loop resistance of
250 ohms. Loop resistance must not exceed 1000 ohms.
• Connect the mA outputs from each transmitter together so they
terminate at a common load resistor, with at least 250 ohms
impedance, installed in series.

For optimum HART communication, make sure the
output loop is single-point grounded to instrument
grade ground.
