Testing procedure document outlines testing and registration requirements
for WirelessHART devices
Austin, TX, USA (11 August 2009)-The HART® Communication Foundation (www.hartcomm.org) announces the release of the WirelessHART(TM) Device Registration Procedure document that outlines the testing and registration requirements for WirelessHART devices. The Procedure is an integral part of the HART Device Registration Program. The program is designed to ensure device interoperability of both wired and wireless HART-enabled devices.
"The release of the registration procedure is the crowning achievement in our progress toward delivering fully interoperable wireless products based on the HART Standard," says Ed Ladd, HART Communication Foundation Director of Technology Programs. "The requirements it sets forth assure the interoperability of wireless devices in a multi-vendor environment and the conformance of those devices to the requirements of the HART Communication Protocol Specification."
Manufacturers are required to fully test their devices using the tools available and the procedure outlined by the Foundation prior to submitting their devices for Foundation registration. The Foundation independently validates that the device and data submitted meets the Protocol requirements.
Testing and registration of a device ensures the quality of the HART device and the interoperability of all devices that claim HART compliance. Devices that successfully pass the registration requirements are allowed to carry the "HART Registered" mark.
The HART Communication Protocol is the leading communication technology for intelligent process measurement and control field devices and systems with more than 30 million devices installed worldwide.
The HART Communication Foundation is an international, not-for-profit, membership organization supported by more than 230 companies worldwide. Founded in 1993, the Foundation is the technology owner, standards setting body and central authority on the HART Protocol and provides global support for application of the HART technology. The Foundation establishes and controls the HART Communication standards including new developments and technology enhancements that benefit and support the needs of the industry.
