HART protocol training workshops
announced
Training on the HART Field Communications Protocol is being offered by the HART Communication Foundation in both the USA and EU throughout 2008
The training workshops focus on HART Fundamentals and Writing Enhanced Device Descriptions and are designed to help engineers take full advantage of all the capabilities of the technology Manufacturers of process control instrumentation and engineers who are thinking of implementing the HART Protocol or are currently developing HART-based field devices and host system interfaces can benefit from this training

HART Fundamentals and QA Testing 2008 workshops are scheduled as follows.
* March 17-20 in Austin, Texas.
* April 14-17 in Austin, Texas.
* June 9-12 in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Writing Enhanced Device Descriptions 2008 workshops are scheduled as follows.
* Apr 7-10 in Dusseldorf, Germany.
* May 12-15 in Austin, Texas, * June 16-19 in Austin, Texas.
* August 11-14 in Austin, Texas; * October 6-9 in Dusseldorf, Germany.
* December 1-4 in Austin, Texas.
The HART Fundamentals course covers all aspects of the HART Protocol and is offered as a 2-day or a 4-day session.
The first two days provide a technical overview of HART, WirelessHART and the HART DDL technology for non-technical vendors and users.
4-day attendees receive the additional information necessary to develop new HART-compatible products, support existing products, design systems that utilise HART, and to test and register their device.
Writing Enhanced Device Descriptions is a comprehensive, hands-on course covering advanced aspects of DD development.
Attendees learn how to improve device integration using Device Descriptions based on the EDDL (IEC61804-3) and leave with a step-by-step process for building a Device Description that can be used across all DD-enabled host platforms.
