Answer» No. Wireless HART is designed to COMMUNICATE using the HART protocol. A Wireless HART network will ALLOW only Wireless HART devices even if the other devices use the same wireless radio for many reasons including SECURITY. With the majority of all intelligent smart devices installed world-wide being HART-enabled, Wireless HART is designed to provide a means of MAXIMIZING these installed assets and protecting the investment in training and tools. The output of the Wireless HART gateway varies DEPENDING on the supplier but may include Modbus, OPC, HART-IP or others. No. Wireless HART is designed to communicate using the HART protocol.
