WirelessHART
An overview
What is?
WirelessHART is the first open wireless protocol to be certified
for industrial applications.
WirelessHART provides a backward compatibility with the
widely used HART technology.

WirelessHART Main Features
Mesh Topology
- Routers
- Spatial diversity
WirelessHART Main Features
Channel hopping
- Frequency diversity
- Only nodes in the network
know next channel
WirelessHART Main Features
Acknowledgment
- Synchronous
operation
Non broadcast messages have ACK which also is use as a sync
mechanism among the nodes in the network.
WirelessHART
It is a simple, reliable and secure protocol!
 Built on proven industry standards
 Created by industry and technology experts
 Multi-vendor support and interoperable devices
 Uses existing devices, tools and knowledge
 Process monitoring, control and asset management
 Health, safety and environmental compliance monitoring
Why wireless?
Why wireless?
 Costs savings (installation, infrastructure and cables)
 Easy installation (flexible, fast and future changes)
 Better access to information (hard-to-reach areas)
 Processes improvement
 Broad potential applications
