Embodiment Construction

[0017] figure 1 An example process control system 100 is illustrated in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. exist figure 1 The embodiment of the process control system 100 shown in is for illustration purposes only. Other embodiments of the process control system 100 may be used without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

[0018] In this example, the process control system 100 includes a plurality of wireless field devices 102a-102n. Wireless field devices 102a-102n represent components in a process or production system that may perform any of various functions. For example, wireless field devices 102a-102n may represent sensors capable of measuring one or more characteristics of a process or production system. Wireless field devices 102a-102n may also represent valves or other actuators capable of performing one or more actions for altering a process or production system. Each wireless field device 102a-102n includes any suitable de...

Abstract

An apparatus is provided for facilitating integration of a wireless field device (such as a wireless sensor or actuator) and a wired protocol that is used in a process control system. The apparatus supports a wireless field device protocol for communicating with the wireless field device. The apparatus also supports a wired field device protocol for communicating with other components of the process control system over a network. The apparatus could map a wireless application model associated with the wireless field device protocol to a wired application model associated with the wired field device protocol. The apparatus could actually support multiple mappings from the wireless application model to wired application models associated with multiple wired field device protocols. As particular examples, the wired field device protocol(s) could include the HART, Foundation Fieldbus, Profibus, and / or Modbus protocols. The network could represent an Ethernet network or a serial network.
