The industrial control market involves the monitoring and control aspects of both complex and simple processes. Common trends within the industry, notably the drive for increased efficiencies, better robustness, higher channel densities, and faster monitoring and control speeds, subsequently drive new technology advancements for semiconductor manufacturers. This session aims to give a broad overview of the system requirements for both field instruments (sensors/actuators) and control room (analog input/output) modules, and demonstrates a typical I/O module configuration with HART® (highway addressable remote transducer) connectivity.

9. Two Categories of Transmitters
Loop-Powered
 2-wire connection supplying both power and communication
 Power is supplied over the current loop from the control room
 Entire transmitter must operate on <3.2 mA for a standard transmitter and
<2.7 mA for a HART enabled transmitter
Non Loop-Powered
 4-wire connection, two for power and two for communication
 No power consumption limitations
 Used in situations where sufficient power cannot be derived from the
current loop

Industry Trends:
 Need for more diagnostics
 Need for asset management
 Need for more communication
Traditional Analog 4 mA to 20 mA

 “Digital” communication option
 Analog 4 mA to 20 mA compatible
 Widely accepted, often implemented by
field instruments vendors
 Recently, wider adoption by PLC/DCS
vendors
 One of the trends in the process control
