2.1Device Versions
This manual describes the following devices:
•HART multiplexer master KFD2-HMM-16, hereinafter referred to as the multiplexer master
•HART multiplexer slave KFD0-HMS-16, hereinafter referred to as the multiplexer slave
2.2Function
The HART multiplexer system consists of one HART multiplexer master KFD2-HMM-16 and
several HART multiplexer slaves KFD0-HMS-16. The HART multiplexer system is used
to establish a HART connection to analog field devices and thereby maintain the conventional
analog 4 mA to 20 mA circuits. The devices of the HART multiplexer system act as gateways
between the field devices and the control side.
The devices of the HART multiplexer system can be used in the Zone 2 hazardous area or
in the non-hazardous area. The devices are supplied with 24 VDC. The devices are connected
to a maintenance station or the process control system via an RS-485 interface.
The supply, the analog signals, and the RS-485 interface are galvanically isolated from each
other. The individual HART channels are decoupled. This does not affect
the 4 mA to 20 mA signal.
Using the configuration software, you can search for available field devices automatically and
query the HART variables of the field devices automatically.

3.1The Basic Principles of HART Communication
The HART protocol is supported by many conventional 4mAto20mA field devices that use it
to enable digital communication for configuration and maintenance purposes. Many of the
device parameters, and the measured value itself, can be digitally transferred to and from
the device. This digital communication runs in parallel to the 4 mA to 20 mA signal on the same
line. This is enabled via current modulation, which is superimposed on the desired signal.
Figure 3.1
The high-frequency HART signal consists of the sine frequencies 1200 Hz and 2200 Hz.
The average value of the signal is 0 and can therefore be filtered through the standard circuit of
the analog input. This does not affect the analog signal.
The HART protocol is a master-slave protocol. This means that a field device responds only
when it is addressed. Burst mode is an exception. The message duration is a few hundred
milliseconds, meaning that two to three messages can be transferred per second.
The HART commands are divided into 3 groups:
•Universal commands
These commands must be supported by all field devices.
•Common practice commands
These commands correspond to common practice and are suitable for many field devices.
•Device-specific commands
These commands are only suitable for certain field devices.
All three types of commands are used in the HART multiplexer system. This document
includes a list of commands. See chapter 9.1.
Note!
Additional information can be found in /1/, /2/, /3/, see chapter 9.3.

3.2Possible Applications
General Applications
In process engineering plants, many field devices are distributed over a large area.
The characteristic values of these field devices must be monitored and logged or adjusted if
process variables are changed.
The HART multiplexer system from Pepperl+Fuchs enables communication between a
computer or a process control system and field devices that support the HART protocol.
The following figure shows the basic system structure.

Field devices
Figure 3.2Basic structure
HART-compatible field devices allow information such as the measuring range and device
address to be saved in the field device itself. Access to this data is usually achieved with a
handheld. This means that a connection to the field device must be established manually for
each value to be changed.
If certain data has to be logged as part of quality assurance processes, this increases the effort
for the process control system. For example, the relevant data has to be requested cyclically
and saved in a database by the system.
The HART multiplexer system establishes the connection between the computer and the
HART-compatible field devices. All access to the field device takes place parallel to the
transmission of the 4 mA to 20 mA signal and therefore has no affect on the processing of
measured values by the process control system.
The system provides a subordinate service level. The HART multiplexer system can also
detect measured values. For field devices that are mounted in hazardous areas,
the connection takes place on the non-hazardous side of the control unit.
Pepperl+Fuchs offers corresponding control units, e. g., KCD2-STC-**, KCD2-SCD-**.
The HART multiplexer system can also be connected to control units from other
manufacturers. Existing plants can therefore be extended very easily, taking full advantage of
the HART communication.
2018-04
The system can consist of a maximum of 31 HART multiplexer devices that are connected to a
computer via an RS-485 interface. Each multiplexer master can manage up to
15 multiplexer slaves. Each device, regardless of whether it is a multiplexer master or
multiplexer slave, establishes the connection to 16 field devices. One computer can therefore
be used to address up to a maximum of 7936 field devices.
Operation using a handheld is still possible, since the HART protocol accepts two masters in
one system, i. e., a computer and a handheld.
11
HART Multiplexer System KFD*-HM*-16
System Description
Maintenance Station
A computer is often used as a maintenance station to operate and maintain the
HART multiplexer system. The computer is used to fulfill parameterization functions or logging
functions independently of the process control system. For this computer, operating software
that fulfills the required purpose is available from various manufacturers. See chapter 3.3.
However, in some cases, no computer is used as a maintenance station. Instead,
the process control system communicates with the field devices directly via an
RS-485 interface using the HART multiplexer system. The low speed of the
HART communication imposes limitations on this method of operation.
3.3Integration into Operating Software
The full functionality of the HART multiplexer system unfolds through the integration into
modern asset management systems such as PACTwa re (open source), SIMATIC PDM
(Siemens), AMS (Fisher-Rosemount), Cornerstone (Applied System Technologies), and Valve
Manager (Neles Automation). These operating tools integrate the device functions of the
devices in the multiplexer system into a standardized interface and convenient operation in
the form of menu commands. However, the representation and designation of the functions in
the individual operating tools may vary greatly. A representation that is valid generally is not
possible at this point.
Information regarding the configuration, parameterization, operation, and diagnostic options
of the HART multiplexer system can be found in the manual "Installation and Configuration
Device Type Manager (DTM)".
3.4System Structure
The field devices and the devices of the HART multiplexer system are connected to
the process control system using termination boards. The following chapters describe
three basic connection options. These connection options serve as examples as there are
many other connection options.
Note!
For further information about the connection layout of the termination boards used, see the
corresponding datasheets.
The following accessories are available for the HART multiplexer system:
•14-pin ribbon cable K-HM14 for connecting the multiplexer master with the
multiplexer slaves.
•26-pin ribbon cable K-HM26 for connecting the multiplexer master or the multiplexer slave
with the termination board.
•Interface converter in different variants depending on the available interfaces
•Cordset for the connection between the termination board and the process control system.
This cordset is available in different variants depending on the available interfaces and
the control system manufacturer.

Danger!
Explosion hazard from damaged electronic components
Premature wear of electronic components in a device that was previously used in a general
electrical installation can cause sparks that can ignite the surrounding potentially explosive
atmosphere.
Never install devices that have already been operated in general electrical installations in
electrical installations used in combination with hazardous areas!
Danger!
Explosion hazard from pollution
An excessively polluted surface of the device can become conductive and consequently
ignite a surrounding potentially explosive atmosphere.
Ensure that you install the device only in environments with a pollution degree 2 or better
according to IEC/EN 60664–1.

4.2Power Rail
To reduce wiring and installation costs, Power Rail is the optimum solution. The Power Rail is a
DIN mounting rail with plastic insert, that delivers power to the devices (24 V DC) and transfers
bus signals and a collective error message.
The Power Rail is factory-equipped with cover and end caps. These parts cover empty and
open segments of the Power Rail. Thus, the Power Rail is protected from contamination.
Additionally the cover and end caps prevent that electrically conductive parts come in contact
with the Power Rail.
Power Rail UPR-03
The Power Rail UPR–03 has 3 conductors.
•2 conductors for power
•1 conductor for collective error messaging

Caution!
Risk of electric shock or property damage due to inadequate grounding
If the cable shield is not connected to the protective earth correctly, this may result in potential
equalization currents. These currents may injure operating personnel or cause property
damage.
Ground the cable shield at only one end of the line. Observe the applicable laws, standards,
and directives for the operating location.
Note!
To connect the multiplexer master and computer, you need an interface converter.
Different interface converters are required depending on the connection on your computer.
We recommend the following converters:
•Interface converter from RS-485 to RS-232: Telebyte model 285, from Telebyte
•Interface converter from RS-485 to RJ45, Com-Server++, from W&T
•Interface converter from RS-485 to USB: I-7561-CR, from ICP
Connecting the Multiplexer Master to a Computer
1. Connect a computer or a process control system to terminals 13, 14, and 15.
Observe the tightening torque for the terminal screws. The tightening torque is
0.5 Nm to 0.6 Nm.
Do not exceed a maximum cable length of 1200 m. Use a shielded, twisted, two-core cable.
2. In the case of long cable lengths and high baud rates, install a terminator at each end of the
RS-485 line. Use terminators of 120 to 220 .
If the RS-485 line ends at the multiplexer master and is not routed to other devices, use the
second RS-485 connection at terminals 20 and 21 to connect a terminator.
If you use an interface converter, install a terminator on the interface converter and an
interface converter at the other end of the line.
In the case of short cable lengths and low baud rates, no terminators are required.
Observe the RS-485 specifications.
3. Connect additional participants to terminals 19, 20, and 21.
Observe the tightening torque for the terminal screws. The tightening torque is
0.5 Nm to 0.6 Nm.
Do not exceed a cable length of 1200 m. Use a shielded, twisted, two-core cable.

Danger!
Explosion hazard from using of non-intrinsically safe circuits in intrinsically safe circuits
Using non-intrinsically safe devices in intrinsically safe circuits suspends the type of
protection. This can ignite the surrounding potentially explosive atmosphere.
Do not use HART multiplexer devices and HART termination boards in intrinsically safe
circuits.
Danger!
Explosion hazard from live wiring of circuits
If you connect or disconnect energized circuits in a potentially explosive atmosphere, sparks
can ignite the surrounding atmosphere.
Only connect or disconnect energized circuits in the absence of a potentially explosive
atmosphere.
Danger!
Danger to life from electric shock
Absent or insufficient insulation can result in electric shock.
Only connect supplies that provide protection against electric shock to power feed modules
(e.g.SELVorPELV).
Danger!
Danger to life from electric shock
Absent or insufficient insulation can result in electric shock.
•Maintain sufficient distance between the connection lines, terminals, housing, and
the environment.
•Insulate connection lines, terminals, and the housing from the environment.
Danger!
Danger to life from incorrect installation
Incorrect installation of cables and connection lines can compromise the function and
the electrical safety of the device.
•Observe the permissible core cross section of the conductor.
•When using stranded conductors, crimp wire end ferrules on the conductor ends.
•Use only one conductor per terminal.
•When installing the conductors the insulation must reach up to the terminal.
•Observe the tightening torque of the terminal screws.

Commissioning
5Commissioning
Checklist for Commissioning
The commissioning of the multiplexer master is summarized in the following checklist.
The steps required for commissioning the multiplexer master refer to the chapters where
the respective procedure is described.
1. Installation of field devices
2. Selection and connection of the termination boards, see chapter 3.4
3. Selection and connection of the control units
4. Connection of the process control system
5. Connection of the multiplexer master, see chapter 4.4
6. Connection of the maintenance station.
If necessary, use interface converters, see chapter 4.4.3.
Observe the polarity of the RS-485 connection, see chapter 4.4.3.
Specify the RS-485 address and the baud rate.
7. Wait for the switch-on process, see chapter 5.2.4.
8. Perform parameterization, see chapter 5.2.5.
9. Specify the multiplexer devices used in the module table, see chapter 7.1.2.
10. Build signal loops, see chapter 7.1.5.
11. If desired, activate the scan function, see chapter 7.1.6.
5.1Data Access to the Connected Field Devices
The operating tool used determines how data on the connected field devices is accessed.
The field devices are generally found in a project tree beneath the multiplexer slaves.
The multiplexer master integrates the slave unit with slave address 0. Device data,
device parameters, and device diagnoses can be accessed via the project tree.
For the structure of a project tree, see chapter 6.8.
The data, parameter, and diagnostic windows display the data of the underlying
HART commands that differ according to the field device. Only universal commands and
common practice commands have the same function for all devices. The information about the
devices themselves, the process values, and some diagnostic information can thus be
represented in a uniform manner.
5.2Configuration of the Multiplexer Master
5.2.1Connection to the Maintenance Station or to the
Process Control System
28
The connection to the maintenance station or to the process control system is via a multidropenabled RS-485 interface, see chapter 4.4.3. The baud rate for this interface can be set via the
DIP switch. The device address for communication via RS-485 is also set via the DIP switch.
When setting the address, make sure that no address is assigned more than once, as
otherwise this may lead to communication faults and even communication failure. The
baud rate set must match that of the maintenance station.
