Emerson Process Management, a global business of Emerson, applauds the International Electrotechnical Commission’s (IEC) unanimous vote to certify WirelessHART technology as the first global standard for wireless communications for industrial process measurement and control. The new standard was developed by major process automation suppliers, including Emerson, working within the not-for-profit Hart Communication Foundation. To be known now as IEC 62591, the standard makes it easier for refineries, chemical plants, energy producers, and other process businesses to add wireless technologies to their operations, at substantially lower cost than traditional wired technology. It also provides customers with multi-vendor interoperability and protects their technology investment. T.
