ISA Expo 2003: HART demonstrates asset management solutions

Houston, TX— The HART Communication Foundation (HCF, Austin, TX) is demonstrating at ISA Expo 2003, Oct. 21-23, how its Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) technology enables asset management to improve plant operations, increase plant availability, lower maintenance costs, and aid regulatory compliance. HCF is located at Booth #1331 at ISA Expo.

“Real-time connections deliver the HART of Asset Management,” says Ron Helson, HCF’s executive director. “The powerful capabilities of installed HART devices are an untapped resource that is often overlooked. Our focus is educating users on how to avoid downtime and lower operating costs by communicating with their HART-smart devices full-time.”

The interactive HART exhibit features the latest HART-capable solutions from leading process automation systems and device suppliers. These solutions show practical ways to leverage the intelligence in HART-smart devices using 4-20mA and digital communication channels to deliver continuous, real-time advanced device diagnostics and valuable process information.

HCF member companies are exhibiting a variety of instruments, systems and HART-smart solutions and presenting technical and educational mini-sessions to explain the value and benefits of HART in all phases of the plant lifecycle. Participating companies include: ABB, Emerson Process Management, Endress+Hauser, Fisher Controls, Fluke Corporation, Harold Beck and Sons, Honeywell, Invensys, J-TEC Associates, MACTek Corporation, Masoneilan, Meriam Process Technologies, Moore Industries, MTL, P+F/Elcon, Rosemount Analytical, Siemens, Smar, Spectrum Controls, Westlock Controls, Yamatake, Yokogawa and other suppliers.
