WirelessHART field devices

摘要

Today, the use of wireless industrial field devices (FDs) is gradually increasing because they are easy to install in difficult places, they ease the design of modular machines, they support mobility, they are less expensive to install and have greater flexibility than wired devices, and they reduce modification time. In addition, there is no downtime due to maintenance of network cables or connectors. Studies that have been conducted highlight these advantages [1]. Among all of these advantages, the easy installation when compared with wired devices seems to be the most attractive to factory and plant managers.
