1. INTRODUCTION
The MultiCONT unit is a universal interface between NIVELCO’s HART-capable intelligent level transmitters and the other elements of the process control system
like the PC-s , PLC-s, displays and the actuators. Besides its role as an interface, the MultiCONT ensures the powering of the 2-wire transmitters while being capable
of complex control tasks. The MultiCONT unit supports communication with a maximum of 15 standard or 4 Ex certified NIVELCO’s HART-capable 2- and / or 4-wire
transmitters. If MultiCONT is used with NIVELCO’s MicroTREK microwave level transmitters the maximum number of transmitters in a loop should not exceed 8 pcs.
for normal transmitters and 2 pcs. for Ex version transmitters. If a system contain more transmitters than one MultiCONT can handle, further MultiCONT units can be
wired in series via an RS485 line. Remote programming of the transmitters and downloading of the parameters and measured data is possible using the MultiCONT.
The various outputs such as 4 … 20 mA, relays and digital outputs can be controlled using measured values and new values calculated from the measured values.
Measured values (Primary Value and three additional values) are able to be logged.
Large DOT matrix LCD panel facilitate a wide variety of display functions including tank content visualisation. The type and number of outputs of the basic unit can be
expanded with external (relay and/or current output) PJK-100 type Universal Interface Modules. The total number of relays included in the MultiCONT and in the
modules must not be more than 64, while that of the analog outputs (4…20 mA outputs) can be maximum 16. A further restriction is that there can be a maximum of
32 Universal Interface Modules.
Explosion proof certified versions of the MultiCONT should be installed outside the hazardous area.

1.1. THE HART SYSTEM
The HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer – bus addressable field devices) is a digital communication protocol developed by ROSEMOUNT for industrial
measurement applications. A digital signal of small amplitude is placed on the widely used standard 4…20mA output current, and due to its symmetric sinusoidal
nature and its small amplitude, it does not affect the accuracy of the output current. Since no extra cable is needed for signal transfer, the already existing cable can
be used to realize the transfer. The identification, programming and querying of the transmitters can be done using this communication.
This diagram shows the output signal of a
4…20mA transmitter (device) and the
superimposed HART signal, which is essentially a
0.5 mA modulation of the output current..

The enlarged picture shows that HART
communication uses frequency modulation, and
logical „1” is assigned to 1200 Hz, while „0” is
assigned to 2200 Hz. This is called FSK
(Frequency-Shift Keying) modulation. The
communication is realized with systematic series
of impulses above described.
1.1.1. The Communication
The HART communication is basically a master-slave type, which means that the transmitter – slave – only sends a response when the master (of which there can be
only one in the system) sends a query. The master can be a Hand-held Communicator, a PC with a HART modem or a universal interface, in this case, a MultiCONT
(naturally, only one can be active). The communication uses standard commands (see chapter 1.1.3)
1.1.2. The structure of the system
The system must contain a 230..1000 resistor to guarantee that the HART signal of small amplitude will not load the power supply of unknown output impedance.

prw2101a0600p_01  7 / 105
1.1.2.1 Point-to-point connection
When a master (communicator or HART modem with PC or MultiCONT) and a slave are alone in a system, we talk of a point-to-point connection

In this case the flowing current is the output current of the transmitters, so if permitted by the loop voltage, even a local indicator can be included into the loop.
Essentially, the minimal voltage specified in the manual must be kept on the terminals of the transmitters.
Since the speed of transfer is 1200bit/sec, communication is slow, because the master queries and the slave responds. This can be speeded up if the querying is left
out, and the slave responds continuously every given period of time until the master stops the transfer in the break between 2 data transmissions. This is called “burst
mode”.

prw2101a0600p_01  8 / 105
1.1.2.2 Multipoint connection (Multidrop). Multiple slaves connected in parallel.
HART’s addressing system can handle 15 devices whereby they are wired in parallel. In this case, the current is the sum of the currents of all the devices in the loop,
which has not informative value. So in this case, the output current of the transmitters should be set to multidrop mode, which means a constant current of 4mA. This
automatically happens when the polling address is set between 1..15. (if the polling address is 0, then we should have only one transmitter with 4…20mA output, if
the polling address is 1…15, then we will have a constant 4 mA). There is a deviation possibility for transmitters whose output current can be programmed to an
arbitrary fixed value, however in this case, the minimal voltage drop on the terminal of the transmitters must be the minimum specified voltage, otherwise the
transmitter(s) will not be able to work (measure or respond)

1.1.3. Properties of HART-capable devices
These are programmed into the unit during manufacturing, some can be configured using a HART MASTER, others cannot (they can be reconfigured only by the
manufacturer)
Short TAG 8 character device ID. Can be reconfigured.
Short address Used to differentiate the 0…15 devices. There cannot be 2 identical „short addresses” in one system. Can be reconfigured
Message A max 32-character arbitrary comment that can be assigned to the device and is generally operation-related.
Can be reconfigured
Descriptor A max 16-character arbitrary comment that can be assigned to the device and is generally material-related.
Can be reconfigured
Date Date. Can be assigned to the device. Can be reconfigured
Factory ID Factory ID. For NIVELCO devices: 151, cannot be reconfigured
Device type ID Device type ID, cannot be reconfigured
Device ID The manufacturer’s electronic production number, cannot be reconfigured
The Factory ID, the Device Type ID and the Device ID together form the “Long Address”.
SW version ( Software version ): Software version of the device (see device manual)
HW version ( Hardware version ): Hardware version of the device (see device manual)
Apart from this, they provide the specification of the HART version according to which the device’s commands work
1.1.4. HART Command set
We have seen how to build up a HART system. Using the HART commands, we can decide what the devices should do. Naturally, an ultrasonic transmitter needs
commands different from those of a temperature transmitter or maybe a valve, so quite a large number of commands would be needed. Every command has a one-
byte identifier. The 31st command enables expansion, and in this case the next 2 bytes form the code of a command (0…65535). HART commands can be divided in
to 3 classes:
universal commands 0..30
general commands 32..121
device-specific commands 128..253
In all cases, the commands contain an address (this can be short, long address, TAG), which determines the corresponding device.
Two devices with the same address cannot be connected together!!

prw2101a0600p_01  10 / 105
1.1.4.1 Universal commands
These are commands understood by all devices, and to which all devices give the same reply.
0. Read unique identifier
the addressed device provides the following in it’s reply:
Manufacturer’s code (provided by the HART foundation, see appendix)
Product code (provided by manufacturer, see chapter 5.2.1.1)
Universal command table code ( HART 5 )
Device ID
Software version
Hardware version
Device status
1. Read primary variable
This reads the digital value (Primary Value) that the transmitter sends to the 4…20 mA output.
The unit also belongs to the numeric value.
2. Read output current in mA and in percent of range
3. Read output current and four dynamic variables
The primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary variables are transmitted.
The secondary, tertiary and quaternary variables are specified in the manual of the given device.
6. Modify (short) polling address (Write polling address)
If there is more than one device in the loop (multidrop), each device must have a different address.
In this case, the address should be configured before connecting the device to avoid errors caused by devices with the same addresses replying at the same
time.
11. Read unique device identifier associated with tag
Devices are queried based on their short TAG and not based on their addresses.
As a result, there must not be more than one device with exactly the same short TAG.

prw2101a0600p_01  11 / 105
12. Read device message
This reads the 32 character message stored in the non-volatile memory of the device (e.g. T18 35% HCL TANK)
13. Read the 8 character ”short TAG”, 16 character descriptor and date
14. Read PV sensor information
15. Read output information
16. Read final assembly number
17. Write 32 character message
18. Write the 8 character ”short TAG”, 16 character descriptor and date
19. Write final assembly number
1.1.4.2 General commands
These commands do not need to be understood by all devices. If not understood, nothing happpens, however, if understood, then it must be interpreted according to
the standard. Many such commands exist, the most important ones are the following:
34: damping (writing settling time)
35: measurement range (writing of upper and lower limits, and/or dimension)
36: Upper limit now! (sets the upper limit – 20 mA)
37: Lower limit now! (sets the lower limit – 4 mA)
40: setting constant current output (can be very useful during testing)
41: Device self-test, sends back the result.
42: Master reset (setting factory default)
50: Reading assignment status of the primary variable (PV), the secondary variable (SV), the tertiary variable (TV) and the quaternary variable (QV). This can
not always be read unambiguously, in most cases it can be found in the manual of the device.
109: Switching „Burst” mode on and off.
1.1.4.3 Device –specific commands
These commands are specified by the manufacturer. A description of the commands can be found in the device manual.

Shielding of the connecting cable between the transmitter and the controller should be grounded at one end, connected either to the internal or external part of the
earthing screw.
Intrinsically safe (Ex) transmitters should be connected through the terminals L+, L– to the controller. These points are galvanically isolated from the other parts of the
electronics. Power supply for the Ex transmitter is current-, voltage- and power-limited.
