So what is WirelessHART?
- WirelessHART:
- Is an open & interoperable standard
- Is based on the established HART protocol
- Uses known tools and procedures for configuration,
maintenance, & diagnosis
- Requires minimal training
- Allows wireless access to existing field devices
- Can be used worldwide without any license

A Network that works
The WirelessHART network is a mesh network where each sensor acts as both a router and repeater. The range of the network doesn’t depend on the location of the central gateway, allowing set up of large distributed network structures.

Essential Components
WirelessHART GATEWAY WirelessHART FIELD DEVICE ADAPTER WirelessHART Devices
Serial RS485 & Ethernet interface Modbus & HART protocol Redundant power supply Upgrade installed field devices Battery powered Powers the transmitter Operates as a router in a larger installations single of dual channel converter Inputs for AI,AO, DI, DO Battery powered LED & pushbuttons for status & set up
The WirelessHART gateway is the core element of a wireless mesh network. It serves as the interface between the mesh network and the plant’s process control or asset management. The WirelessHART adapter can be connected directly to the interface
- f any field device. This can be a
conventional 4…20 mA or an intelligent HART device. The WirelessHART devices
- ffers multiple ways to connect
physical variables. They are designed to transfer measurements directly to the network.
