Abstract

WirelessHART - "one single" standard for wireless process measurement and control devices? To answer this question, NAMUR started a technological study for wireless sensor networks. A first step of this study is a field test with WirelessHART-compliant devices at BASF's Ludwigshafen site. The WirelessHART field will offer manufacturers like ABB, Emerson, Endress+Hauser, MacTek, Pepperl+Fuchs and Siemens, a platform for demonstrating the performance of their equipment. In addition to the manufacturers, the HART Communication Foundation will also support the test. With this manufacturer-independent field test, the requirements for Wireless Automation defined in the NAMUR recommendation NE 124 are to be reflected with the specifications of the WirelessHART standard. The objective of the prototype applications in production plants is the validation of laboratory results in the industrial environment as well as a "proof of concept" for the new wireless standard.
