WirelessHART Network Planner Tool

The key to a successful wireless network installation is in proper planning.  This includes This includes determining the correct products, appropriate device placement, and radio path prediction.

Phoenix Contact’s WirelessHART Network Planner software tool is used to design WirelessHART networks to deliver optimum wireless connectivity among the WirelessHART devices planned in the network on a predefined floor map.
This planner tool is capable of predicting the link qualities between WirelessHART devices and aiding in optimal placement of the devices.

When completed a report will be generated that contains the following items:

• Bill of Material
• Image of layout of devices
• Network bottlenecks

WirelessHART Network Commissioning Tool

When initially commissioning a system it is beneficial to ensure the data is being transmitted from the instrument to the control system reliably.  The WirelessHART Network Commissioning tool is a simple tool to test the initial setup and ensure modbus data is being transmitted reliably by trending the data over a user specified amount of time.  The Network Commissioning tool also displays the network structure to show bottlenecks of the system.
