3.1 HART History and the FieldComm Group

HART was established by Rosemount Incorporated in the mid-1980s. This protocol is based on the Bell 202 modem communication standard. Rosemount is now a subsidiary of Emerson Electric Company.

Rosemount developed HART as a proprietary communication standard to add smart capability to field instruments. As this communication standard became popular, the standard developed into HART and became an open protocol. Since 2015, the HART protocol has been governed by the FieldComm Group. FieldComm maintains the protocol and oversees any changes or modifications. HART is currently on Revision 7.

HART compliant devices are also registered by the FieldComm Group. Registration is completed after testing the device for compliance to the protocol and a paid registration fee.
