-
WirelessHART is a wireless sensor networking technology based on the Highway Addressable Remote Transducer Protocol (HART). WirelessHART was defined for the requirements of process field device networks.
- Practical
-
Developed as a multi-vendor, interoperable wireless standard, WirelessHART was defined for the requirements of process field device networks. The standard was initiated in early 2004 and developed by 37 HART Communications Foundation (HCF) companies that - amongst others - included ABB, Emerson, Endress+Hauser, Pepperl+Fuchs, Siemens which form WiTECK an open, non-profit membership organization whose mission is to provide a reliable, cost-effective, high-quality portfolio of core enabling system software for industrial wireless sensing applications, under a company- and platform-neutral umbrella.
