- WirelessHART offers a cost efficient solution. Measured values become available on a regular basis, which leads to increased quality and more economical operation of process plants.
- In a WirelessHART based network, every participating device simultaneously works as a signal source and a repeater. Through the routing of the individual signals across the entire network, a wide network structure becomes possible.
- Pepperl+Fuchs offers several modules to connect sensors to a control system or asset management system with a wireless network. These WirelessHART products support the installation of field devices from different manufacturers without the need for additional wiring effort and costs. A reliable, interference-free communication is established with the following components.
Networks
- In a WirelessHART based network, every participating device simultaneously works as a signal source and a repeater. Through the routing of the individual signals across the entire network, a wide network structure becomes possible.
- The Network Manager determines the best primary and alternative paths between the single wireless sensors. It also determines which sensor is allowed to send a message on a specific channel. Network wireless communication is organized and optimized to provide the best performance in terms of speed, throughput, and energy consumption.
Adapters
- WirelessHART adapters can be connected to every conventional HART or 4 mA … 20 mA field device directly or with a short cable. They read the data of the field device via HART or translate the 4 mA … 20 mA signal to a digital value and transmit the data to the WirelessHART network. These highly flexible solutions turn every field device into a WirelessHART field device.
