HART submits communication standard to IEC
The WirelessHART Communication specification (HART 7.1) has been submitted to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for approval as a Publicly Available Specification (PAS).
"This rigorous registration and testing process guarantees interoperability between different device suppliers," says HCF Director of Programs Ed Ladd: "This is the only way for a manufacturer to obtain a "HART Registered" certificate and users can be confident that a device caring this mark is a verified HART-enabled device".
Using HART-built test tools, suppliers test their device to confirm conformance and submit a report and the device to the Foundation.
The HCF audits the report and conducts an independent test to confirm communication compliance to the HART Protocol Specification.
"We are very excited to register what we hope is only the first of many "HART Registered" devices to come from our member companies in China," Ladd says.
