Structural Characteristics Standard Ovation I/O card form factor. Rear gold plated edge connector plugs into rack backplane. Front panel fitted with extraction handle and LED indicators. PCB layout separates analog 4-20mA signal circuit, HART communication circuit and digital backplane communication circuit. Each channel has independent HART modem circuit.

Working Principle Field HART transmitter outputs 4-20mA current carrying process value, and superimposes HART digital frequency-shift keying signal on the current loop. The module’s signal conditioning circuit samples 4-20mA analog current. A/D converter converts analog signal to digital primary variable. The HART modem demodulates digital HART data from the loop, reads secondary variables and device diagnostic information. All data is transmitted to Ovation controller and asset management software via backplane bus. The module continuously monitors loop current and HART communication status, and reports fault upon communication failure or wire break.

Installation Requirements

  1. Insert VE4005S2B18CH4-20MA,HART into rack guide slot, push fully and lock front handle.
  2. Use shielded twisted pair cable for HART transmitter wiring. Keep signal cable separated from high voltage power cable.
  3. Configure HART enable and channel range in Ovation engineering workstation.
  4. Complete loop test and HART device communication test before commissioning.
  5. Ensure cabinet protective grounding is reliable, grounding resistance less than 4 ohms.
  6. Confirm each HART loop has proper loop resistance to meet HART communication requirement.

Usage Precautions

  1. Do not connect high voltage signal to analog input terminals. Overvoltage destroys channel circuit.
  2. Maintain proper loop resistance for HART communication. Too low or too high resistance causes HART communication failure.
  3. Hot swap must follow Ovation official maintenance procedure.
  4. Do not touch gold plated connector pins by hand.
  5. No field repairable components. Replace whole module on failure.
  6. Prevent metal debris falling into rack slot during installation.
