We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "HART",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Radar level transmitter for any solid medium from
Siemens Process Instrumentation, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Sitrans LR260 is the new 2-wire continuous level radar-based transmitter now available for use on virtually any stored solid medium from Siemens Industry
Automation".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Review of uses for 'Valve Position Transmitters' from
K Controls: "Position transmitters are used to monitor the position of modulating control valves or the opening and closing characteristics of critical isolating valves".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Baumer Group
concerning its FlexTop
- take a look at Individually configurable temperature transmitter
which says: "With the FlexTop series, Baumer Process Instrumentation offers configurable temperature transmitters communicating either with a standard 4 to 20 mA output, a HART or a Profibus PA interface".
Take a look also at the news release from ProSoft Technology, New ProLinx gateway EtherNet/IP to HART,
as well as The 60 Stories people have read the most from SPECIAL REPORT by the Editor,
and StatoilHydro Ormen Lange facility honoured from Hart Communication Foundation.
