One technique that is being used to support this modular design is WirelessHART. WirelessHART includes a wide range of measurement devices, a growing number of wireless actuators, and THUMs, which may be added to wired HART devices, which in-effect converts them to WirelessHART devices. This presentation addresses how to apply WirelessHART to modular design. A combination of event triggered, and periodic execution is used to address control of faster processes such as liquid and gas flow using wireless transmitters and wireless valves. Examples are used to demonstrate how this capability has been incorporated into working systems. Information will be provided on the control performance achieved in field applications using wireless transmitters and/or wireless throttling valves.
