WirelessHART was first presented at the 2008 Hanover Fair and has made it from the R&D laboratories to a range of available products. In user field tests WirelessHART was proven to be a sustainable technology that can be used in mobile and flexible applications. WirelessHART is the first open standard for wireless communication between field devices in the process automation industry.
Many manufacturers already offer WirelessHART products which emphasizes that WirelessHART is ready to become a widely accepted industry standard.
At the 2010 Hanover Fair, Pepperl+Fuchs presented the first available WirelessHART infrastructure components including the WirelessHART Gateway, the WirelessHART Adapter and the WirelessHART Temperature Converter. These components enable the easy setup of a wireless network.
