The WirelessHART (EC 62591) is a reliable, secure, cost-effective, multivendor, interoperable international wireless standard based on the Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) protocol [35]. This standard supports operation in the 2.4 GHz ISM band using EEE 802.15.4 standard radios with data rate up to 250 kbps and is characterized by a time-synchronized, self-organizing, and self-healing mesh architecture. In WirelessHART, TDMA is used with 10-ms duration for each time slot to ensure contention-free transmission and a channel-hopping scheme for added system data bandwidth and robustness is employed. There are up to 15 radio frequency channels (16 with ISAlOO.lla in some world areas). OQPSK is used. Although the use of the WirelessHART standard is supposed to be easy, the implementation is more complex than the wired counterpart.

Because the HART protocol is widely used due to its similarity to the traditional 4- to 20-mA field signaling, it represents a safe, controlled transition to wireless field communications as an alternative to fieldbus. The HART protocol is principally a master/slave protocol, which means that a field device (slave) speaks only when requested by a master device. An optional communication mode, burst mode, allows a HART slave device to continuously broadcast updates without stimulus requests from the master device, which is an important attribute for wireless data transmission. 

Study Protocols. Historically, the ferret has been used more often in teratology (Hoar, 1984), reproductive (Hoar, 1984), and acute safety studies than in repeated dose studies (4-52 weeks in duration). More consideration, however, is now being given to the use of the ferret in pivotal repeated-dose safety assessment testing (Thornton et al., 1979 Hart, 1986 Haggerty et al., 1989). 

A particular field network protocol known as HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) is the most widely used field network protocol. It is estimated that as of 2004 there are more than 14 million HART-enabled devices installed globally and that 70 percent... 

HART-enabled devices are provided by the valve device manufacturer at little or no additional cost. The HART network is compatible with existing 4- to 20-mA applications using current plant personnel and practices, provides for a gradual transition from analog to fully digital protocols, and is provided by the valve device manufacturer at little or no additional cost. Contact the HART Communication Foundation for additional information. 

The mass flow rate is calculated directly by multiplying the time difference or the phase shift with the calibration constant of the flowmeter thermal effects on the mass flow and density reading have to be included as well. This is commonly done with a microprocessor. The primary output from a CMF is mass flow. However, most electronic designs are also capable of providing temperature, density, and volumetric flow data. Further, totalizers provide mass or volume totals. Analog (4 to 20 mA) and digital output protocols are supported (e.g., PROFIBUS, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, HART, Modbus, scaled pulse, and others). 

For safety instmmentation functions, fieldbus systems pass beta testing. (Prototype designed product tested at customer site for evaluation of the product.) Also, safe fieldbus systems are required to meet the lEC 61508 standard for functional safety systems for specified SIL so that suppliers can build their systems on the same. Also, protocols are subject to diird-party approval for safety applications. There are a number of fieldbus systems recognized in the world. Also, there are other system integration tools and protocols such OPC and HART, respectively. HART is a protocol, while OPC is a standard described in brief in Fig. IX/2.0.2-1. Now, initially each of them has their own ways and means to communications in intelligent way. There are some similarities in their network protocol but there was no common platform. These made it rather difficult to integrate various control systems, which is of tremendous demand not only from technological point of view but also from economical point of view. In 2003, major players in fieldbus systems joined hands and...
