February 13, 2014 - The HART Communication Foundation and other field communication protocol organizations – FDT Group, Fieldbus Foundation, ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute, OPC Foundation and PI (PROFIBUS & PROFINET International) – will support and promote the Field Communication Lounge exhibit at the 2014 Hannover Messe (7-11 April, Hannover, Germany), one of the world’s largest automation trade shows. Inside the exhibit (Hall 9, Stand D68) these organizations and their members will display their process and factory automation communication and integration technologies in a co-located demonstration and display area.
By creating a single exhibit area, the Field Communication Lounge makes it easy for visitors to learn about and experience the latest in field communication and integration technologies and to discuss how these are used to deliver powerful results that may quickly improve a company’s profitability, safety, energy usage, compliance, quality and more. In one stop, show visitors will have the opportunity to:
- discuss the leading automation communication protocols and integration technologies: their advantages, applications and their relevance in practice;
- see practical demonstrations of field communication and integration solutions including WirelessHART, the first standard wireless technology designed for process applications, FDI, and FDT technology;
- find new intelligent field devices, device configuration solutions, asset management and control solutions;
- experience wireless and device information integration technologies that lower the cost of new measurements; and
- learn how the information in intelligent field devices can lower cost and improve plant performance and reliability.
Member companies from all six protocol organizations will participate in the Field Communication Lounge including major suppliers such as: ABB, Emerson, Endress+Hauser, Honeywell, Hilscher, Phoenix Contact, Siemens, R.Stahl, Yokogawa and others. The HART Communication Foundation is the technology owner and standards organization for the HART Communication Protocol. Founded in 1993, the Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit, membership organization providing support for the HART Communication technology and standards worldwide. The Foundation is supported by a global membership of more than 300 companies.
HART Communication is the leading technology for process measurement and control with more than 40 million HART-enabled devices installed worldwide.
