Cooperative effort to improve wireless technology

Monday, 08 October, 2007

Fieldbus Foundation, HART Communication Foundation, and Profibus Nutzerorganisation have begun a cooperative effort to improve implementation of wireless technology in the manufacturing and process industries.

The group issued a statement saying: "As part of the wireless initiative, the three industry organisations will develop a specification for a common interface to a wireless gateway. They have agreed to base their work on the WirelessHART technology of the HART Communication Foundation and the emerging ISA SP100.11a standard."

According to the statement, the group has also agreed to develop a common set of compliance guidelines to incorporate into their respective product registration processes.

In the statement, the organisations acknowledge that introduction of wireless technology into the industry sectors will require suppliers, end users and international standards bodies to address technical issues related to wireless applications.

Fieldbus Foundation said it will post updates on the project.
