Important Technical Notes

  1. HART Device Certification:​ All HART field devices in the hazardous area must be certified as intrinsically safe and compatible with the 7728+'s entity parameters.

  2. RS-485 Network:​ Requires proper termination (120Ω at both ends) and correct polarity. Maximum network length is 1200m at 9600 baud.

  3. Power Supply:​ The 24V DC power supply must provide sufficient current for the multiplexer plus all connected field devices. Calculate total loop power requirements.

  4. Configuration:​ The 7728+ requires configuration for baud rate, parity, Modbus address, and HART parameters. Use configuration software or direct Modbus commands.

  5. Grounding:​ Follow manufacturer's grounding instructions. Proper grounding is critical for RS-485 network stability and noise immunity.

  6. HART Communication:​ HART communication shares the same wires as 4-20mA signals. Ensure proper HART network design and avoid ground loops.

  7. Update Rates:​ The multiplexer polls each channel sequentially. Total update time for all 8 channels is approximately 4 seconds at default settings.

  8. Burst Mode:​ Enabling HART burst mode on field devices can significantly reduce polling overhead and improve response times.

  9. Diagnostics:​ Monitor device status registers for early detection of field device issues.

  10. Certification Compliance:​ Verify that the 7728+'s certifications match the hazardous area classification of your application. The "+" version may have enhanced certifications.
