Abstract
A data recorder contains a HART multiplexer with channels that are provided with coupling members for capacitive coupling to multiple HART field devices supplied via current loops, wherein a HART modem is arranged downstream of the HART multiplexer, and downstream of the HART modem is a processor with an interface that controls HART communication of the data recorder, where to automatically and quickly identify changes in the connection configuration of field devices capacitively connected to the HART multiplexer, a pulse discriminator is connected at each channel that detects signal pulses induced by the loop current on the channel being interrupted and/or switched on and which differ from HART signals and upon detection generates an interrupt signal for the processor, and in response to the interrupt signal, the processor terminates HART communications on the channel and generates a HART command for requesting identification of a HART field device on the channel.
