Can Multiple Wireless Hart Networks Co-exists In One Plant? |
|
Answer» Yes. A LARGE plant can deploy hundreds or even THOUSANDS of Wireless HART devices. For large installations, USE separate gateways for each PROCESS unit or plant area, joined using a HART-IP network over Ethernet or Wi-Fi. This totals up to large numbers of devices, yet logically sub-divided per plant area and WORK responsibilities – just like the DCS controllers are today. Yes.
