FieldComm Group to Host a May 10 Webinar Detailing WirelessHART Deployment Guidelines

Summary

May 3, 2023 - Austin, Texas - FieldComm Group provides conformance testing and registration for leading industrial instrumentation communication technologies used throughout the process automation sector. These include HART, WirelessHART, HART-IP and Ethernet-APL.
 
FieldComm Group is pleased to offer a webinar on Wednesday May 10 from 7AM to 8AM US Central Time, covering essential topics and guidelines associated specifically with WirelessHART deployments. Speakers include Robert Assimiti, co-founder and CEO of Centero and Shane Hale, Global Business Development Director–Pervasive Sensing, Emerson.
 
The HART communication protocol, working over traditional 4-20mA analog current loops, has long been the leading wired bi-directional digital information exchange protocol between a smart field device and a host platform, such as a distributed control system or an asset management system.
 
WirelessHART field devices working over a mesh network via WirelessHART gateways provide a convenient way for users to implement scalable systems with minimal infrastructure investment required, extending the reach of digital systems beyond wired constraints, while preserving investments in proven HART data structures.
 
Attendees will learn about WirelessHART deployment topics including:

• When to choose WirelessHART
• Defining requirements during the network planning process
• Detailed tasks for the network design phase
• Considerations for network deployment and commissioning
• Recommended performance criteria for acceptance testing
• Best practices for ongoing network support and maintenance
• Practical pointers based on real-world deployments

WirelessHART plays an important role for many process automation plants and facilities, and FieldComm Group is committed to helping end users develop successful high-performance networks.

About the FieldComm Group

The FieldComm Group is a global standards-based organization consisting of leading process end users, manufacturers, universities and research organizations that work together to direct the development, incorporation and implementation of new and overlapping technologies and serves as the source for FDI (Field Device Integration) technology. FieldComm Group’s mission is to develop, manage, and promote global standards for integrating digital devices to on-site, mobile, and cloud-based systems; provide services for standards conformance and implementation of process automation devices and systems that enable and improve reliability and multi-vendor interoperability; lead the development of a unified information model of process automation field devices while building upon industry investment in the HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus and FDI standards. Membership is open to anyone interested in the use of the technologies.
