Introduction
This is the user’s manual for the Moore Industries
HCS HART® Concentrator System. It contains all of
the information needed to configure, install, operate
and maintain this instrument.
About this Manual
Pay particular attention wherever you see a “Note”,
“Caution” or “WARNING ”.
Note– Information that is helpful for a procedure, condition or operation of the unit.
Caution– Hazardous procedure or condition that
could damage or destroy the unit.
WARNING– Hazardous procedure or condition that
could injure the operator.
The HCS
The HCS HART® Concentrator System converts
a HART digital signal to a serial MODBUS RTU
(RS-485 or RS-232, depending on Output type
ordered) communication protocol. This allows HART
transmitters and valves to interface directly with
MODBUS-based monitoring and control systems.
The HCS uses the following HART commands to
collect its data.
Command 0 Read transmitter unique identifier
Command 3 Read all dynamic variables and current
Command 13 Read tag, descriptor, date
Command 48 Read additional transmitter status
The 3rd generation HCS is now compatible with HART
7 protocol by the release of new HCS firmware v5.2.
This version of the HCS is compatible with HART
5, 6 and 7, however it does not support ALL of the
new features available in HART 6 and 7. Appendix
B provides more details of HART compatibility for all
generations of HCS.
Model and Serial Numbers
Moore Industries uses the model and serial numbers
of our instruments to track information on each unit
that we sell and service. If a problem occurs with
your HCS, check for a tag affixed to the unit listing
these numbers. Supply the Customer Support
representative with this information when calling.
Inputs
The HCS is equipped with one input channel. This
handles up to 16 HART devices in multidrop mode.
In a digital multidrop HART network, up to 16 HART
instruments digitally communicate on the same wires.
The HCS can be set to monitor any or all instruments
and/or valves within the network. Only one MODBUS
address and one communication link is needed to
send the process and diagnostic data from up to 16
HART devices to a MODBUS host.
The instrument is equipped with a READY LED to
indicate the health of the unit and an INPUT LED
to indicate status of HART communication to the
attached HART devices.
Outputs
The HCS offers a standard RS-485 or RS-232 port
(depending on Output type ordered) that supports the
MODBUS RTU protocol.
MB232
Allows for standard MODBUS RTU protocol interface
over a RS-232 port.
MB485
Allows for standard MODBUS RTU protocol interface
over a RS-485 port.

HCS
HART® Concentrator System
HART-to-MODBUS RTU Converter
Configuring the HCS
One of the benefits of the HCS is that there are no
internal or external controls to adjust or settings to
change. All operating parameters are set using the PC
Configuration software.
Once these software settings are made, they are
downloaded to the instrument in the form of a
Configuration File and stored in the unit’s nonvolatile
memory. You can choose to save a backup copy of
the file on your PC hard drive or external media. The
HCS communicates with the PC through a proprietary
communications cable to the PC’s serial (COM) port or
optional proprietary USB cable to the PC’s USB port.
Installing the Configuration Software
Refer to Table 2 for the equipment needed.
1. Insert the Moore Industries Interface Solution
PC Configuration Software CD into the CD
drive of the PC. Access the CD and open the
“HCS PC Configuration Software” folder.
2. Double-click the installation program located
in the folder. Follow the prompts to correctly
install the program.
Connecting the HCS to the PC
HCS can be connect to PC one of two ways:
• using the propr ietary communications cable to
connect to PC’s serial (COM) port
• using the optional proprietary USB cable to
connect to PC’s USB port
See Table 2 for information on the necessary
equipment.
Selecting Model Type
User must select unit type when the software is
opened without a unit connected as shown below. Unit
type is determined by software version. When unit is
connected software will select the correct software on
automatically.
Once the Configuration Program is installed onto your
PC, the HCS can be connected into a system and
become operational.

The HCS PC Configuration Software can be used to
program all of the instrument’s parameters. Once the
default configuration has been saved, it is safe to program other parameters.
The PC Software is composed of these sections:
1. Menu Bar/Tool Bar–Dropdown menus and corresponding icons allow you to perform various functions
throughout the PC Configuration Program. Refer to
the Menu and Tool Bar Legend section for a complete
description.
2. Program Status–This portion of the program displays the activity (idle, monitoring, downloading, uploading) of the connected unit.
HCS Status–Notifies of any errors or conditions which
are outside of the tolerance range. Displays HCS OK
if the unit is operating normally.
HCS Tag–A phrase used to identify an HCS (eight alphanumeric characters, maximum).
HCS Device Info–Displays the individual characteristics of the attached HCS, such as the device ID, hardware and software revisions and the last date that the
device was programmed.
Progress–This bar stays in motion any time the HCS
is monitoring, uploading or downloading, to notify that
a process is occurring.
Communications–Indicates current PC connection/
communications status.

Slave Devices
Once you have selected the number of HART slaves
to be used in the loop, use this section to assign a
specific address for each. Ensure that the address
matches the address of the device you connected in
the loop. Each must be a unique address between
zero and 63. However, Address 0 is an analog
address. Current readings at this address can vary
from 3.6mA to 23.6mA.
Master Mode
The HART protocol allows for two communications
masters on the loop: a Primary Master and a
Secondary Master. Setting the HCS to function as the
Primary HART Master in the application means that
any other HART device in the loop must be configured
either as a HART Secondary Master (1 per loop), or
as a HART Slave (up to 16 per loop). Conversely, setting the HCS to function as the Secondary HART Master allows other HART devices to function either as a
Primary Master, or as Slaves. Configuring more than
one device on a single loop as a Primary or Secondary HART Master will cause a communications failure.
Number of HART Devices
Using the up and down arrows, or by manually entering the value from your keyboard, select the number
of HART devices (16 maximum) that you will introduce
into your loop. The number you have chosen will
appear as enabled in the Slave Devices parameter.
Note:
A HART hand-held communicator is typically a
Secondary Master.
Number of Retries
The Number of Retries can be set between 1 and
3, and will determine how many times the HCS will
attempt to poll the HART transmitter (without success),
before it indicates a HART communication failure.
Burst Mode
Allows selection of Normal or Burst modes.
Burst mode can only be used with a single HART
device (slave).
The HCS can operate in one of two modes: Normal
or Burst. In each of these modes the HCS attempts to
find a HART transmitter. If the designated slave (or
slaves) is found, the HCS will also read the device’s
Tag.
12 The Interface Solution Experts
Page 13
HCS
HART® Concentrator System
HART-to-MODBUS RTU Converter
In Normal mode, the HCS polls the HART loop for a
transmitter, then polls the HART instrument twice per
second, requesting the current process status and
the HART instrument’s diagnostic status. The HART
instrument responds with the requested data.
In Burst mode, the monitored HART instrument
continuously transmits its process variable and health
status. The HCS samples the continuous HART data
three times per second.
The instrument will operate in Normal Mode by default.
Selecting the Burst Mode button will enable Burst
Mode reception in the HCS. An error is declared if no
burst messages are received by the HCS.
HCS Units with firmware version 4 or earlier will send
commands to the slave, configuring and enabling burst
mode.
HCS Units with firmware version 5 or later do not send
commands to configure the slave. The slave must be
configured (using a handheld configurator, or by other
means) to have burst mode enabled, and to burst
either HART command 1 or 3. If the HCS is able to
communicate with the slave but does not receive burst
messages, the Input LED will alternate red and green.
MODBUS
Figure 7. MODBUS Tab
The MODBUS tab allows you to set the MODBUS
communications parameters.
Communications Settings
The Communications Settings include three areas:
Additional Status
Checking the Acquire Additional Status box will
allow Additional Status information to be displayed
on the Status of HART Devices screen and also in
the corresponding MODBUS register (refer to Tables
3 and 4). If the box remains unchecked, Additional
Status information will be unavailable.
For software version 5.0 and greater, all 25 additional
status bytes (0 to 24) are displayed and available in
Modbus registers 1000-1024 (see Tables 3.1 and 4.1)
If this information is not needed, it is good practice to
keep the box unchecked in order to keep polling of the
additional status bytes from occurring. This will help
maintain faster response times.
MODBUS Address (Decimal)
The MODBUS Address is the number that the HCS
monitor uses to identify itself on the MODBUS
network. The MODBUS address is configurable
from 1 to 247. By default, it will assume a MODBUS
address of 1.
Baud Rate
The Baud Rate is the speed of MODBUS data
transmission. It should be set to match the baud rate
of the attached controller. The interface supports the
following baud rates: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800,
9600 and 19200.
Parity
The HART monitor supports even, odd and no Parity.
The data format is one start bit, 8 data bits and one
stop bit.

30,000 / 40,000 Register Formatting
This section includes the following areas:
Register Grouping
This allows you to select the manner in which to group
the MODBUS registers.
Selecting By Variable Type, the registers are grouped
in order of variables, i.e. all primary variables (PV) are
grouped together, followed by secondary variables
(SV), third (TV) and then fourth (FV).
Using By HART Slave Device grouping places your
registers in order numerically. It groups a HART
slave device’s variables in contiguous registers. For
example, your first HART device’s primary, secondary,
third and fourth variables (PV1, SV1, TV1 and FV1)
are grouped together. Next in the order are your
second HART device’s primary, secondary, third and
fourth variables (PV2, SV2, TV2 and FV2) and so on.
Floating Point Word Order
By default, the HART Concentrator will use the
Standard LSW (least significant word) floating point
word order format. This stores the most significant
bits in the second register and the least significant bits
in the first register. Selecting Swapped MSW (most
significant word) will reverse the order, storing the
most significant bits in the first register and the least
significant bits in the second register.
Integer Number of Decimal Points
The MODBUS integer registers are 16 bit signed
integers and have a range of -32767 to 32768.
To obtain better resolution, the “Integer Number of
Decimal Points” setting may be used. This can be set
from 0-3, and will multiply the PV by 10n where n is
the number of decimal points. Care should be taken in
selecting the resolution since the higher the resolution,
the smaller the PV range which can be represented
ie. for n=3 the maximum range is -32.767 to +32.768.
Depending on the nature of the data obtained from
the slave and the required resolution, this may be
unacceptable and in this case, floating point registers
should be used.
The table below shows the PV range for the selected
number of decimal points and a PV example.
Number of
Dceimals
Allowed PV Range
Example PV = 12.345
Displayed
Integer
Failed HART Device’s Register Value
You may select what would occur to a HART device’s
register value in the event that communication is lost
with the HCS.
If selecting Hold Last Value and a failure is detected,
the last measured value before the failure occurred is
held.
Entering a user-set value in the Preset to text box
recalls that value when a slave device failure is
detected.
Selecting NaN (Not a Number–as put forth by the
IEEE-754 standard) causes the floating point NaN
value to be stored in the registers used for holding
floating point values.

These are read-only screens that display the device
number and its associated address, tag and the
Primary, Second, Third and Fourth variables.
Note:
This displays the 8 character Tag and not the 32

When the HCS is in Monitor mode, all four variables
constantly update. However, the Ta g only updates
once power is reapplied (upon a loss of power) or
when communication with the HART device has been
re-established.
Status of HART Devices
Figure 9. Status of HART Devices Tab
This screen displays Status the Additional Status and
Information regarding the selected device. Use the
HART Devices selection box to choose which device
to view.
For software version 4.0 and less only the first six
bytes (0-5) of additional status are available. For
software version 5.0 and greater, up to 25 additional
status bytes (0-24) are displayed and available in
Modbus registers 1000-1024 (see Tables 3.1 and 4.1).
The display will only show the additional status bytes
sent by the slave (from 0 to 25).

HCS
HART® Concentrator System
HART-to-MODBUS RTU Converter
Installation
Installation consists of physically mounting the unit,
grounding the instrument, and completing the electrical connections.
Mounting the HCS
The HCS is designed to snap easily onto 32mm, Gtype (EN50035) or 35mm Top Hat (EN50022) DIN
rails.
Making the Electrical Connections
After mounting, you are ready to connect the HCS to
the loop. Each unit comes equipped with a transmitter
excitation terminal which allows it to supply power to
the monitored HART instrument, if necessary.
Figures 2 and 3 shows the connection diagram for
an HCS.
Recommended Ground Wiring
Practices
Moore Industries recommends the following ground
wiring practices:
• AnyMooreIndustriesproductinametalcase
or housing should be grounded.
• Theprotectiveearthconductormustbe
connected to a system safety earth ground
before making other connections.
Note:
Some of Moore Industries’ instruments can be
classified as receivers (IPT2, IPX2, etc.) and some
can be classified as transmitters (TRX, TRY, etc.)
while some are both a receiver and a transmitter
(SPA2, HIM, etc). Hence, your shield ground
connections should be appropriate for the type
of signal line being shielded. The shield should
be grounded at the receiver and not at the signal
source.
CE Conformity
Installation of any Moore Industries’ products that
carry CE certification (Commission Electrotechnique)
must adhere to the guidelines in Recommended
Ground Wiring Practices (above) in order to meet the
requirements set forth in applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) directives 2004/108/EC, EN
61326. Consult the factory for the most current information on products that have been CE certified.
Power Sourcing Parameters for General
Locations, Intrinsically Safe and NonIncendive/Type N Applications
The input terminals must be connected to and/or
supplied from a certified energy limiting Class 2 or a
Separate Extra Low Voltage (S.E.L.V.) power supply
separated from all mains by double/reinforced
insulation.
• Allinputsignalsto,andoutputsignals
from, Moore Industries’ products should be
wired using a shielded, twisted pair wiring
technique. Shields should be connected to an
earth or safety ground.
• Forthebestshielding,theshieldshouldbe
run all the way from the signal source to the
receiving device. (see Note below)
• Themaximumlengthofunshieldedinputand
output signal wiring should be 2 inches.

Operation
Once programmed, calibrated, installed, and supplied
with the correct power, the HCS begins to operate
immediately. Depending upon environmental
conditions, it can be expected to operate unattended
for extended periods of time.
There are 2 leds which indicate the unit and input
status:
INPUT LED: (Red/Green)
Green: Input is present and normal
Red: Input signal is not found
Red/Green blinking: HCS is in burst mode but
the slave is not
READY LED: (Red/Green)
Green: Instrument is ready for operation and
configuration
Red: Instrument has encountered an internal
problem
Maintenance
Moore Industries suggests a check for terminal
tightness and general unit condition every 6-8 months.
Always adhere to any site requirements for
programmed maintenance.

Appendix A: Configuring the Legacy HCS
The following information applies only to units with
firmware version older than 4.0.
Note:
All tables and figures within Appendix A relate only
to this Appendix A unless otherwise mentioned.
Configuring the HCS
One of the benefits of the HCS is that there are no
internal or external controls to adjust or settings to
change. All operating parameters are set using the PC
Configuration software.
Once these software settings are made, they are
downloaded to the instrument in the form of a
Configuration File and stored in the unit’s nonvolatile
memory. You can choose to save a backup copy of
the file on your PC hard drive or external media. The
HCS communicates with the PC through a proprietary
communications cable to the PC’s serial (COM) port or
optional proprietary USB cable to the PC’s USB port.
Installing the Configuration Software
Refer to Table 2 for the equipment needed.
1. Insert the
PC Configuration Software
of the PC. Access the CD and open the “HCS
PC Configuration Software” folder.
2. Double-click the installation program located in
the folder. Follow the prompts to correctly
install the program.
Once the Configuration Program is installed onto your
PC, the HCS can be connected into a system and
become operational.

Connecting the HCS to the PC
HCS can be connect to PC one of two ways:
• using the proprietary communications cable to
connect to PC’s serial (COM) port
• using the optional proprietary USB cable to
connect to PC’s USB port

Slave Devices
Once you have selected the number of HART slaves
to be used in the loop, use this section to assign a
specific address for each device. Ensure that the address matches the address of the slave you connected in the loop. Each must be a unique address
between zero and 63. However, Address 0 is an analog address and is not used in HART multi-drop loops.
Current readings at this address can vary from 3.6mA
to 23.6mA.
Master Mode
The HART protocol allows for two communications
masters on the loop: a Primary Master and a Secondary Master. Setting the HCS to function as the Primary
HART Master in the application means that any other
HART device in the loop must be configured either as
a HART Secondary Master (1 per loop), or as a HART
Slave (up to 16 per loop). Conversely, setting the HCS
to function as the Secondary HART Master allows
other HART devices to function either as a Primary
Master, or as Slaves. Configuring more than one device on a single loop as a Primary or Secondary HART
Master will cause a communications failure.
Number of HART Slaves
Using the up and down arrows, select the number of
HART slaves (16 maximum) that you will introduce into
your loop. The number of slaves you have chosen will

MODBUS Register Definitions
Tables 2-5 define the MODBUS input and holding
register assignment. These tables are zero based,
your MODBUS host may require you to enter the
MODBUS register. Often registers have an offset of
“1” from the MODBUS address. For example, a
MODBUS address listed below of 256 may have to be
entered as 257 in your host. Please refer to your

compatibility
To configure this new version of HCS you must also
use the newest version of the HCS PC Configuration
software (v3.6 or newer).
The Moore Industries HCS was updated in February
2014 to be multi-version compatible with HART 5, 6
and 7 devices by the release of new HCS firmware
v5.2. It communicates with HART 5, 6, and 7
compliant devices in both multi-drop and single point
This version of the HCS PC Configuration software
is also backward compatible with all earlier versions
Note:
of the HCS.
networks. The HCS fully supports networks where
HART slaves and other hosts have different HART
versions. While this version of the HCS is compatible
with HART 5, 6 and 7 it does not support ALL of the
new features available in HART 6 and 7.
The HCS uses the following HART commands 0, 3, 13
and 48 to collect its data.
Command 0 Read transmitter unique identifier
Command 3 Read all dynamic variables and current
Command 13 Read tag, descriptor, date
Command 48 Read additional transmitter status
Table B-1. The following table outlines how each generation of HCS works with HART devices:
3RD GENERATION

Type
Additional Status

Error Bits
If Burst mode is selected on the HCS it will NOT
send a command to the attached HART slave to
set it into Burst mode.
If there is a power cycle on the HART loop the
HCS will NOT send a command to the attached
HART slave to set it into Burst mode.
Note: If you know your HART slave boots up in the
Poll/Response mode you should configure the
HCS for Normal Mode communication to avoid
having to reconfigure the slave after power upsets.
HART 5 supports 1 byte per HART slave; HART 6
and 7 support 2 bytes per slave. This version of
HCS will read HART 5, 6, and 7 slave
Manufacturer ID and Device Type.
HART 5 supports 6 bytes per HART slave; HART
6 and 7 support 25 bytes per slave. This version
of the HCS reads the 6 Additional Status Bytes in
HART 5 slaves and reads all 25 Additional Status
Bytes in HART 6 and 7 slaves.
When communication from the HART slave to the
HCS fails, only the Device Malfunction bit is set.

HCS Firmware v3.x and earlier (1
If Burst mode is selected on the HCS it will send
a command to the attached HART slave to set it
into Burst mode.
If there is a power cycle on the HART loop the
HCS would again send a command to the
attached HART slave to set it into Burst mode.
HART 5 supports 1 byte per HART slave; HART
6 and 7 support 2 bytes per slave. This version
of HCS will ONLY read HART 5 slave
Manufacturer ID and Device Type but will NOT
read the ID and Device Type from HART 6 and 7
slaves. This limitation with HART 6 and 7 slaves
does not affect communications.
HART 5 supports 6 bytes per HART slave; HART
6 and 7 support 25 bytes per slave. This version
of the HCS only reads the first 6 Additional
Status Bytes in HART 5, 6 and 7 slaves. This
limitation with HART 6 and 7 slaves does not
affect communications.
Not supported in 1
When communication from the HART slave to
the HCS fails, ALL error bits are set.

HART 6 and 7 Features not currently
supported:
Long Tag:
32 character tag. Only the regular 8 character tag is
supported. The 8 character tag and the 32 character
tag are completely different data objects and will not
interfere with each other. The 32 character tag can be
programmed in the slave without having any effect on
the HCS operation, but it will not be read by the HCS.
Multi-Variable Statuses:
Provides “output quality” information for all variables.
This information is not yet read by the HCS.
Enhanced Multi-Variable Communication (8):
Increases device output capability from 4 to 8
variables using command 9. Only 4 variables
(Primary, Secondary, Third and Fourth) are currently
read by the HCS using command 3.

To return equipment to Moore Industries for repair, follow these four steps:
1. Call Moore Industries and request a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number.
Warranty Repair –
If you are unsure if your unit is still under warranty, we can use the unit’s serial number
to verify the warranty status for you over the phone. Be sure to include the RMA
number on all documentation.
Non-Warranty Repair –
If your unit is out of warranty, be prepared to give us a Purchase Order number when
you call. In most cases, we will be able to quote you the repair costs at that time.
The repair price you are quoted will be a “Not To Exceed” price, which means that the
actual repair costs may be less than the quote. Be sure to include the RMA number
on all documentation.
2. Provide us with the following documentation:
a) A note listing the symptoms that indicate the unit needs repair
b) Complete shipping information for return of the equipment after repair
c) The name and phone number of the person to contact if questions arise at the factory
3. Use sufficient packing material and carefully pack the equipment in a sturdy shipping
container.
4. Ship the equipment to the Moore Industries location nearest you.
The returned equipment will be inspected and tested at the factory. A Moore Industries
representative will contact the person designated on your documentation if more information
is needed. The repaired equipment, or its replacement, will be returned to you in accordance
with the shipping instructions furnished in your documentation.
