Endress+Hauser's WirelessHART

February 2012 Fieldbus & Industrial Networking

It is well-known that important process and diagnosis ­information is often stranded in the instrument: inaccessible, unused and ultimately, worthless. This data can now be unlocked by using Endress+Hauser’s WirelessHART solutions, allowing users to make a quantum leap in plant availability and transparency.

The use of WirelessHART communication in process plants allow the user to benefit from its advantages without any loss of integrity:

* Monitoring of important but previously inaccessible measuring points.

* Asset management solutions.

* Inventory control in remote locations without an electrical infrastructure.

Endress+Hauser’s wireless portfolio comprises:

* WirelessHART Adapter.

* WirelessHART Fieldgate DTMs and DDs for system integration.

* Project management and engineering services to deploy WirelessHART projects.

The battery-powered WirelessHART Adapter can be added to any HART or 4-20 mA device, where necessary also providing the power. The adapter allows information from remote, difficult-to-access and mobile measuring points to be accessed centrally. This retrofit solution is particularly cost-effective.

The WirelessHART Fieldgate collects the data and integrates it into existing plant architectures through Modbus/OPC via Ethernet and RS485. The network is self-organising and self-healing, i.e. it detects broken data paths and finds alternatives routes.
