Thanks for considering. It is my first question/post in this forum.

I am designing a HART mux in the form of arduino Shield. I have found AnalogDevices, OnSemi, Maxim and MicroFlex
have a solution. The most complete is the Microflex's. It includes isolation to avoid ground loop usually found in
industrial enviroments.

I have this idea sketched to have HART-protocol communications with multiple transducers on the plant. Ideas?
Is feasible? Obviously, just one transducer will be accessed every time. We should disconnect before we connect
to another transducer.

Both AnalogDevices and Onsemi have options but MicroFlex's is 0.1" pitch ready and ready to communicate via UART.

Ideas?

Thanks again.
