Point to Point Wiring
Bus Networking
Wireless
This curve represents where different technologies are on the life cycle.
Point to Point (conventional wiring) still has the highest volume level, but these are laggards when it comes to newer technologies.
Bus Networking is leaving the early adopter stage and moving into early majority.
Wireless has the lowest volume levels and are utilized by those who fall into the innovators arena.

20. Networking Introduction Questions
Answer True or False
A communication protocol is completely defined by the type of topology and the network voltage & current levels.
Drop connectors may contain protection circuits to prevent field device short circuits from affecting the bus trunk.
Usually one bus network is optimal for process field applications.
AS-interface would generally be best suited for simple devices like on/off valves and Foundation Fieldbus for more complex devices such as flow meters and modulating control valves.

22. Process Applications for Wireless
Valve Monitoring/Automation
I/O
Transmitters
Diagnostics
Typical Applications:
- Inside tanks or compartments
- Remote areas
- Mobile equipment
- Redundancy
- Low incidence monitoring (Manual valves, safety showers etc.)

23. Wireless Applications for Valve Automation
Important considerations:
Latency
Battery Life
Data requirements
Signal integrity
Hazardous area requirements

26. Wireless Network

27. Wireless trends
ISA SP100.11a standard Supports multiple protocols (Hart, Profibus, Modbus, FF etc) - Defines an entire wireless architecture (sensor level is ) - Supported by Honeywell
WirelessHart is gaining momentum
- Supports Hart protocol (Over 30 million installed) - Uses 2.4 GHz; Emerson - Endress + Hauser - ABB - Siemens

28. Hart Wireless Highlights
Uses same software as Hart 7 protocol; Physical layer and data link layer are changed from hard wired to wireless.
Wireless transmission defined by using 2.4 GHz Band
- Up to 100m line of sight transmission distances - Same physical medium as ZigBee (Assures high volume)
- Utilizes mesh networking
- Low power consumption and latency (powers up quickly to send message)
Utilizes mesh networking to reinforce signal
