VISITOR PRESENTATIONS:
Tom Devine: Tom Devine, 7640 South Shore Drive. I just wanted to comment on the adoption
of the article on the well heads just a moment ago, and I want to express my appreciation of the
city working with the neighborhood association, the feedback and the constructive, what we felt
was constructive criticism that went into the process of planning where that wellhead was going
to be and minimizing what was originally part of the plan to build a long driveway and a long
retaining wall and scale it back from what it was initially and they were very cooperative and we
look forward to working and finishing the process of doing that. Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Anyone else for visitor presentations this evening? Seeing nobody, we'll move

CONSIDER ADOPTION OF THE 2008 BUDGET AND LEVY AND THE 2008-2012
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
Greg Sticha: Good evening Mayor and members of council. Well this is the final step in the
budget process that seems like it's taken quite a while. It takes a lot of our time between August
and December, but the final step in the budget process. Just to give kind of some people an idea
of where we've come from, we set a preliminary levy in September. That preliminary levy was
set at $9,854,000. After that we had work session discussions in October and November to
discuss the department's budgets in detail. We held a Truth in Taxation hearing last Monday that
was based on the original preliminary levy in September. The Truth in Taxation statements sent
out by the county in November went out based on the preliminary levy that was set in
September. We held that hearing last week, and tonight we are here for final adoption of the
budget and CIP for 2008. The budget and levy then need to be certified to the county by
December 28"of this year. With that I'm going to go over a power point presentation, a brief
one similar to the presentation that I made last week. If we could switch. Thank you. First part
of the power point that I'm going to go through is the general fund expenditures and revenues

Angie,
The radios we use in our wireless sensor devices use IEEE -802.15.4 radios which are approved for use in the
Industrial, Scientific and Medical bands (ISM), specifically the 2.40-2.48 GHz ISM band. The ISM bands are set
aside for public use and are regulated by the FCC, but site specific licenses are not required. Another type of
radio used in this same ISM band are the 802.11 b/g radios used in Wi-Fi enabled wireless internet products
commonly used in homes and businesses for wireless internet interconnectivity. Another type of radio in this 2.4
GHz ISM band are Bluetooth radios commonly used for wireless headsets. All these types of radios in the ISM
band do not require FCC licensing, since the bands are license free for the general public to use.
We do have FCC approval on our radio. Testing and certification and been done to assure that they meet all the
technical requirements for 2.4 GHz ISM band use, for example that they stay in band and do not have spurious
emissions into adjacent frequencies.
The FCC Programmatic Agreement requirements for licensed band operation, such as for cell phone towers, do
not apply to ISM devices so we do not require review by the MN Historical Commission for our JUP application for
the wireless sensor network testing.

PROPOSAL SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting an hiterim Use Permit (IUP) for a 25 -foot mast/antenna on the roof of
the southwest office building located on the Rosemount property. The request is to allow the
antenna to extend above the trees and adjacent buildings, in order to transmit signals from wireless
sensors located in various areas of the City for testing purposes. City code limits roof -mounted
antennas to 15 feet above the roof and requires an Interim Use Permit for heights exceeding 15 feet.
Concurrently, the City is revising the zoning ordinance to require an IU? for antermas mounted on
roofs exceeding 15 feet in height.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
• Chapter 20, Article IV, Division 5. Interim Use Permits.
• Section 20-1515 (1). Antennas mounted on roofs, walls, and existing towers.
The property is located on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 2d Addition, which
is zoned Industrial Office Park (IOP). Rosemount is a supplier of process automation
technologies which are developed and tested on site. Rosemount has developed a new
monitoring device that is ready for the testing phase. Staff contacted the Carver County Historical
Society, who concluded that the masttanterma. will not impact any historical site or building.
Attached is an email from Wendy Biorn, Carver County Historical Society, dated November 14,
2007.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting an Interim Use Permit (lUP) to install a temporary 25 -foot roof -
mounted mast/antenna. City Code permits roof -mounted antennas up to 15 feet in height and
requires an [UP for antennas exceeding the 15 -foot limitation. The purpose of the IU? is to
extend the antenna above the treetops to allow for optimal remote transmission to test a new
battery powered, wireless mesh, network technology.

Rosemount is in the testing phase of development for the
wireless mesh network technology and has located several
remote transmitters at various locations throughout the City,
which include Bandimere Park, Power Hill Park, Lake Ann Park,
the Water Treatment Plant, Highway 312 (the Lakeside
Development) and another location which is yet to be
determined, as illustrated in the network schematic to the left.
The two-story building on which the mast/antenna will be
mounted is 32 feet high. Should the Interim Use Permit be
approved, the antenna will be permitted to achieve a total height
of 57 feet above grade.
If die antenna was mounted to a freestanding tower, the maximum
height allowed for the tower including the antenna is 150 feet and
would require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The applicant
contemplated applying for a CUP to install a fivestanding tower to
allow for a greater height; however, since the proposed antenna is
needed only temporarily, they would prefer to mount it on the
roof.
City Code allows temporary antermas and/or towers for test
purposes for up to 72 hours without a height limitation. However,
the proposed temporary tower exceeds the 72 -hour limitation. As
an example of the proposed mast/antcnna the applicant
photographed a temporary mast/anterma used for testing purposes.
The proposed mastlantenna will be less visible as it will be grey in
color, constructed of metal and steel materials
The nearest residential subdivision is Lake Susan Hills West,
which is in excess of 1300 feet from the southwest building in
which the mast/antenna is proposed to be located. In addition, the
proposed site is surrounded by dense vegetation.
The antenna structure will not be substantially visible outside the boundaries of the Rosemount
property. The antenna is a vertical, monopole design and is 20 inches Iong, 5/8 -inch diameter
and weighs 8 ounces. It will be mounted on a 25 -foot tall metal mast/antenna that is estimated to
be less than 2 inches in diameter. The mast/antenna will be anchored by multiple steel guy wires

to the roof of the two-story office building, which is 32 feet in height. It will be designed and
certified to meet all applicable building codes as well as approval from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and any appropriate state
review authority. The mast/anterma will not impact any historically significant site or building.
A building permit will be required prior to installation of the mast/antenna. It is staffs opinion
that locating the temporary anterma on the roof will have a far less visual impact than a free-
standing tower. Granting of the IUP is reasonable given the mast/anterma is intended for
temporary use as well as the unique site characteristics.
Site Characteristics
The site is surrounded by mature trees, buildings and higher elevations which will interfere with
the radio transmission line of site which is required for extended range capabilities,
approximately I mile. A 15 -foot tall antenna atop the two-story office building would allow
only point-to-point wireless testing and would not allow the extended range testing of wireless
mesh, network technology, which is a key element of the new wireless sensor network.
Preliminary testing has shown that a 25 -foot tall mast/antenna atop Rosemount's two-story office
building is needed in order to conduct extended range testing over a period of two to six months
of Rosemount's battery -powered, wireless sensor products and their associated wireless mesh,
network technology.
Permitted Use
An antenna is a permitted use in the IOP district. However, the height is limited when mounted
on a roof. The maximum height is 15 feet above the roof and 10 feet from the roof edge. An
IUP is required for heights exceeding the 15 -foot height limitation. Due to the topography of the
site and the surrounding area, a 15 -foot tall antenna will not reach above the trees. The trees and
surrounding buildings will interfere with the wireless signals that are required to adequately and
accurately test the product to its fall potential.
FINDMGS
The Planning Commission and the City Council shall grant an Interim Use Permit only if it finds
that such use at the proposed location complies with the General issuance standards of Section
20-323 of the Chanhassen City Code:
a. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general
welfare of the neighborhood or the city.
Finding. The mastlanterma will be mounted on top of the Rosemount roof It will be located
entirely on the property and is inaccessible to the general public. Granting the IUP will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of die
neighborhood or the city.
b. Will be consistent with the objective of the city's comprehensive plan and this chapter.

Sharmeen,
Thank you for contacting me regarding the proposed temporary tower at 8200 Market Blvd in
Chanhassen. Based on our conversation, the closest possible historic property is an 1897
property owned by Al Klingelhutz. This property is approximately 2,699 feet from the proposed
location of the 25 foot tower.
The property is not on the national register and to my knowledge has not been assessed for
possible edibility. I will investigate the situation more fully and contact you regarding it, in the next
few days.
Thanks for keeping us and historic properties in mind

Planning Case 07-25
M
Planning Commission Meeting - November 20, 2007
McDonald: Of the detached structure which exceeds 1,000 square feet.
Larson: Which exceed 1,000 square feet. Okay. With that a second, okay.
McDonald: Now, does anyone else wish to make a recommendation? Does anyone wish to push
forward the city's recommendation? Staffs recommendation. Okay, then we will vote on
Debbie's recommendation.
Larson moved, Undestad seconded that the Planning Commission approve Planning Case
07-28 for a 177 square foot variance from the maximum 1,000 square foot detached
accessory structure for an addition to a detached garage on Lot 2, Block 3, Pioneer Hills
Addition, based on the amended findings of fact stating there are pre-existing standards in
the neighborhood of detached structures which exceed 1,000 square feet. All voted in
favor, except Keefe who opposed, and the motion carried with a vote of 5 to 1.
McDonald: Okay, so it passes 5-1. Okay, and I take it that this will probably go up before City
Council.
Aanenson: No it won't unless somebody appeals it.
Generous: Unless it's appealed within 4 days.
McDonald: Okay. If you guys want to appeal. So the motion is approved. The variance is
granted.
John Hart: Thank you.

BOULEVARD. APPLICANT: ROSEMOUNT, INC., PLANNING CASE 07-25.
Angie Auseth presented the staff report on this item.
McDonald: Kathleen?
Thomas: I don't have any questions, thanks.
Keefe: What happens at the end of 6 months... Do they apply for another...
Auseth: They can formally request to expand.
Keefe: Expand it, or require them to take it down or how does that.
SCMNED
Planning Commission Meeting - November 20, 2007
Aanenson: That's correct. It has a termination date and then if they can request an extension, of
you can deny the extension and they'd have to take it down.
Keefe: So in either case, if they...
Aanenson: Correct. Correct.
McDonald: Kevin.
Dillon: You know the only question I had is answered by the letter from the distinguished
technologist.
McDonald: Okay. Debbie?
Larson: I think it's covered everything.
McDonald: Mark?
Undestad: No. Good.
McDonald: Okay. I have just one question. I'm not sure if you answered it or not. I don't think
I saw it in the report. After what we went through with the cell phone tower, has anybody
looked to see if there are any federal requirements that are going to have to be gone through in
this?
Auseth: We have done that. We've contacted the Minnesota State Historical Society. At this
point there aren't any historical impacts.
McDonald: Not so much historical. Do we get in with like the FCC or anybody else that
governs transmissions within the air?
Auseth: That was addressed with the email that was passed around and the applicant can answer
more to that.
McDonald: I apologize for not reading my ernails. Thank you. I have no further questions. Is
there an applicant here to present the case before us?
Kelly Orth: Hello. My name is Kelly Orth. I work for Rosemount, Incorporated. I'm the one
that fills out the application and setting up this test network. This is a product line that we've
developed and we're trying to create a wireless sensor network. The sensors are a variety of
sensors. Pressure, temperature, level or slow, and the idea with the wireless network is that they
can form a mesh network so that all these battery powered sensors, if they can't communicate to
a base station in a typical system, a point to point system, or base station off to each device. So
if they can't communicate to the base station, they can communicate to their neighbors. Form a
mesh network and the messages can hop from unit to unit to get back to where it needs to do. So
we've introduced these products and the systems in the marketplace and they have limited range
Z
Planning Commission Meeting - November 20, 2007
right now. 300 to 500 feet so what we're in the process of adding some higher beam antennas
and elevating the antennas at the 25 foot point, as we mentioned, just to extend their range.
Possible applications are in oil and gas exploration where wells are located around on different
sites. City wide water and waste systems as Chanhassen might have where you might want to
monitor your pumping stations and your lift stations. And by using wireless systems like this,
the costs are much lower because there's no electrical hook-up. There's no internet hook-up. It's
all done wireless. So we're in the process of doing the testing, as Angie mentioned. She's been
very helpful in formulating the proposal and by the way I'd like to take time to thank the City of
Chanhassen and the various people within the city for allowing us to allow some of the city's
facilities. Specifically Todd Hoffman, the city Park and Rec Director and most recently Paul
Oehme, the Public Works so we can spread out. Obviously we don't own property within a mile
radius of our plant. We have to rely on our good neighbors to allow us to use their facilities.
And we intend, we intended all along just to make this temporary. It's not meant to be a
permanent system. It's just for test purposes. Whenever you tell us to take it down, you know
well take it down. It's not a big deal. We've done some preliminary testing with the 72 hour
clause so we put our antenna on the roof up for 72 hours and take it down later and then come up
with a different scheme to figure out how this stuff really works because it's kind of black magic
and test some more. So we're learning but what we really want to do is put it up and get some
long term reliability capability of the test network. We were up last night during the fog and we
learned that it works just fine in A mile visibility so that's the kind of thing that we want to be up
for right now. Change of season. Different weather conditions and different circumstances so
again, it's just a temporary facility. We have no intention in making it permanent.
McDonald: Okay, questions? Mark?
Undestad: Yeah, just a couple. On the frequency's you're using on there are the same used in
like WiFi, things like that?
Kelly Orth: Yeah.
Undestad: What kind of range is your antenna going to have on there?
Kelly Orth: The frequency we use is a 2.4 gigahertz band which is a public set aside band for
WiFi and Blue Tube and these Zigby networks. Maybe you've heard of Zigby and so we use the
same radios as Zigby radio network would use. They're regulated by the FCC. It has to meet all
the pretty significant requirements. All the power transmission level requirements. But the nice
thing about the ISM band, the 2.4 gigahertz band, that it does not require a site license. If you
have the license, every particular site, everybody that has a WiFi intemet system in their home
would have to get an FCC license and it would make it pretty hard to do.
Undestad: Is there any chance of any interferences with neighbors or WiFi?
Kelly Orth: The extent of co -existent testing and interference testing, we use a different radio
technology even though it's in the same frequency band. It actually does frequency hopping so it
shifts around and uses different parts of the band at different times.
10
Planning Commission Meeting - November 20,2007
Undestad: So you don't program in your frequency and it picks up or interferes with.
Kelly Orth: No, we've tested it where a WiFi internet system and our Zigby type radio network
system are within you know half a meter apart and there's no interference.
Undestad: And the antenna you had out in the yard out there for a while, what was that one?
That was just another test deal out there?
Kelly Orth: I've got some samples if I could.
McDonald: Okay, yes.
Kelly Orth: This is our normal unit with an integral antenna and this is a temperature transmitter
that will help to do the display and cover goes on this side. The battery goes in this side, so it's
all battery powered. It doesn't hook up to electricity or anything and this is a high V antenna for
the V antenna. And what we're going with our wireless testing, this is putting a remote
connection on the device and then we're using a high beam remote antenna with a coax cable
between them and as you know on radio waves, if you get it up in the air you get better
reception. So basically this is what we're trying to test in conjunction. With our standard units
sprinkled around to form these devices... So the application is to be able to put one of these
antennas on a 25 foot pole. 25 foot to the tip as Angie had pointed out, and we would leave it up.
So I think we promised to get it down by Memorial Day so that we get all this stuff out before
the school's out.
Undestad: And this is going to go on the south side of your building somewhere?
Kelly Orth: Yeah. It goes up on the roof because it's higher there. You know we're kind of low
over by the lake there so to get up over the other buildings around us and some of the
neighboring elevations.
Undestad: How big is your building there again?
Kelly Orth: Well we own about 54 acres. The building, we're putting it on the two story office
building. I don't even know how big that is.
Aanenson: That alone is 60,000 so.
Undestad: So your 20 foot antenna is going to be just back there somewhere?
Kelly Orth: Yeah. It's kind of hard to see unless you really know where to look for it.
Larson: So the intention is really just to have this on your property and nowhere else?
KellyOrth: No. These units are already installed in some of the parks. If you noticed there's
one of these units right on City Center Park Field 1.
I I
A
Planning Commission Meeting - November 20,2007
Larson: I'm getting that Big Brother feel.
Kelly Orth: No, no. It's just, they talk in 4 millisecond bursts and they send a little data packet
over the air to the other device. It's just a little data packet which tells what the name of the unit
is to test that...
Larson: It's ... data you're collecting. I'm looking for these units all over the place.
Kelly Orth: Just how reliable... How many data packets are sent and how many are received so
we're just testing the wireless capability. So we can monitor over the air, we can monitor the
path stability of each point. The ones right here talks to the roof top unit when we put our
antenna up.
Larson: What's the major purpose of the whole idea...
Kelly Orth: When you mesh networks in these sensors?
Larson: Yeah.
Kelly Orth: Just to lower the install cost to be able to monitor pumps and motors and valves and
be able to do data acquisition of these extensive infrastructure systems. You know there's a lot
of money invested in all this equipment and if it starts to break down, bad stuff can happen.
Larson: So are you talking this with this company or are you talking city wide? I mean like, just
to pull some weird, obscure example out. We read meters on houses for gas.
Kelly Orth: Yeah, there could be devices. We don't make meter reader, gas meter readers but
Zigby type devices are out there that you can put in a mesh network and read meters once a
month.
Larson: ... basically that's all I have.
McDonald: Kevin, any questions?
Dillon: No questions.
Kelly Orth: I want to thank you for your time and I hope you approve and I really want to thank
the City of Chanhassen.
McDonald: Before you go, just a second. Kathleen, you have any questions?
Thomas: I don't have any questions. I actually find it very interesting ... thank you.
McDonald: The City is recommending only a 6 month window. Is that going to work?
12
Planning Commission Meeting - November 20,2007
Kelly Orth: Yeah, that will work fine. Yeah. I wanted to be out there in the change of seasons
and we've been able to gather enough data now with our 72 hour windows here and there that we
feel that this is a viable way to do it and over the course of a few months here we want to gather
a lot of reliability that the devices are going to stay online no matter what because reliability is
paramount in our industry.
McDonald: Okay. I have no further questions then. Thank you for addressing us. At this point
I will you know throw the meeting open to the public. Anyone wishing to make comment,
please come up to the podium and address the commissioners. Seeing no one come forward,
we'll close the public meeting and we'll bring it back up before the commission for comments
and Kathleen.
Thomas: I don't have any issue at all. I think it's a great idea and it's a very good thing so I'm for
it.
Keefe: No issues.
McDonald: Kevin.
Dillon: No issues.
McDonald: Kathleen.
Larson: Me?
McDonald: Debbie. Kathleen's down there. Debbie.
Larson: She was here last time.
McDonald: That's why you keep changing people on me and I'm sure they're doing that on
purpose.
Larson: Yeah...
McDonald: I have no problems either. At that point we'll open it up to the commissioners for
someone to put a recommendation forward.
Keefe: I'll make a motion the Planning Commission recommends approval of Planning Case 07-
25 for an Interim Use Permit to install a 25 foot mast antenna on top of a two story office
building in Rosemount located on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Lake Susan Park 2 nd Addition as
shown on plans dated received November 2, 2007, based on the Findings of Fact in the staff
report and subject to conditions I through 3.
McDonald: Can I have a second?
Dillon: Second.
13
I
Planning Commission Meeting - November 20,2007
Keefe moved, Dillon seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of
Planning Case 07-25 for an Interim Use Permit to install a 25 foot mast/antenna atop the
two story office building at Rosemount, Inc., located on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes
Business Park 2nd Addition, as shown in plans dated received November 2, 2007, based on
the Findings of Fact in the staff report and subject to the following conditions:
I . A building permit must be approved prior to installation of the mast/antenna.
2. The interim use permit is valid for a period of six (6) months from the date of building
permit approval. Should the interim use permit need to be extended, the applicant will
need to request a formal extension 60 days prior to the expiration date of the permit.
Approval of this application is contingent upon City Council approval of the zoning
ordinance amendment to Section 20-1515, Antennas mounted on roofs, walls, and
existing towers requiring an Interim Use Permit (lUP) for antennas in excess of 15 feet in
height.
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 6 to 0.
PUBLIC HEARING:
ORDINANCE AMENDMENT: CHAPTER 20, ZONING.
Angie Auseth presented the staff report on this item.
McDonald: Kathleen, questions for staff.
Thomas: I don't think I have any at this moment.
Keefe: Quick question just in regards to you know your second point it just says, you know must
be constructed of material or color which matches the exterior of the building or structure. Is
that recommended as opposed to say the natural sky color or surrounding landscape or something
along those lines?
Auseth: Yes, and that's currently in the city code. So that it blends in with the site and isn't an
eyesore.
Keefe: I almost prefer that language than what's in here. That it sort of blends in with the
surroundings versus sort of matches the exterior color of the building because perhaps it's up
against a bunch of pine trees and it's just painted green.
McDonald: Kevin.
Dillon: So we talk about the height. Is there anything in here that addresses the diameter of the
antenna or the guide wires or anything like that that need to hold it in place? I mean is that,
should that be included? Do we care?

PROPOSAL SUNMARY
The applicant is requesting an Interim Use Permit (IUP) for a 25 -foot mast/antenna on the roof of
the southwest office building located on the Rosemount property. The request is to allow the
antenna to extend above the trees and adjacent buildings, in order to transmit signals from wireless
sensors located in various areas of the City for testing purposes. City code limits roof -mounted
antennas to 15 feet above the roof and requires an Interim Use Permit for heights exceeding 15 feet.
Concurrently, the City is revising the zoning ordinance to require an TUP for antennas mounted on
roofs exceeding 15 feet in height.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Chapter 20, Article IV, Division 5. Interim Use Permits.
Section 20-1515 (1). Antennas mounted on roofs, walls, and existing towers.
BACKGROUND
The property is located on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 2nd Addition, which
is zoned Industrial Office Park (10P). Rosemount is a supplier of process automation
technologies which are developed and tested on site. Rosemount has developed a new
monitoring device that is ready for the testing phase. Staff contacted the Carver County flistorical
Society, who concluded that the mast/antenna will not impact any historical site or building.
Attached is an email from Wendy Biom, Carver County Rstorical Society, dated November 14,
2007.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting an Interim Use Permit (IUP) to install a temporary 25 -foot roof -
mounted mast/antenna. City Code permits roof -mounted antennas up to 15 feet in height and
requires an IUP for antennas exceeding the 15 -foot limitation. The purpose of the IUP is to
extend the anterma above the treetops to allow for optimal remote transmission to test a new
battery powered, wireless mesh, network technology.

Rosemount is in the testing phase of development for the
wireless mesh network technology and has located several
remote triansmitters at various locations throughout the City,
which include Bandimere Park, Power Hill Park, Lake Ann Park,
the Water Treatment Plant, Highway 312 (the Lakeside
Development) and another location which is yet to be
determined, as illustrated in the network schematic to the left.
The two-story building on which the mast/antenna will be
mounted is 32 feet high. Should the Interim Use Permit be
approved, the antenna will be permitted to achieve a total height
of 57 feet above grade.
If the antenna was mounted to a freestanding tower, the maximum
height allowed for the tower including the antenna is 150 feet and
would require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The applicant
contemplated applying for a CUP to install a freestanding tower to
allow for a greater height; however, since the proposed antenna is
needed only temporarily, they would prefer to mount it on the
roof
City Code allows temporary antennas and/or towers for test
purposes for up to 72 hours without a height limitation. However,
the proposed temporary tower exceeds the 72 -hour limitation. As
an example of the proposed mast/antenna the applicant
photographed a temporary mastlantenna used for testing purposes.
The proposed mast/antenna will be less visible as it will be grey in
color, constructed of metal and steel materials
The nearest residential subdivision is Lake Susan Hills West,
which is in excess of 1300 feet from the southwest building in
which the mast/antenna is proposed to be located. In addition, the
proposed site is surrounded by dense vegetation.
The antenna structure will not be substantially visible outside the boundaries of the Rosemount
property. The anterma is a vertical, monopole design and is 20 inches long, 5/8 -inch diameter
and weighs 8 ounces. It will be mounted on a 25 -foot tall metal mastlanterma that is estimated to
be less than 2 inches in diameter. The mast/anterma will be anchored by multiple steel guy wires
to the roof of the two-story office building, which is 32 feet in height. It will be designed and

certified to meet all applicable building codes as well as approval from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and any appropriate state
review authority. The mastlantenna will not impact any historically significant site or building.
A building permit will be required prior to installation of the mastlantenna. It is staff's opinion
that locating the temporary antenna on the roof will have a far less visual impact than a free-
standing tower. Granting of the IUP is reasonable given the mast/antenna is intended for
temporary use as well as the unique site characteristics.
Site Characteristics
The site is surrounded by mature trees, buildings and higher elevations which will interfere with
the radio transmission line of site which is required for extended range capabilities,
approximately I mile. A 15 -foot tall antenna atop the two-story office building would allow
only point-to-point wireless testing and would not allow the extended range testing of wireless
mesh, network technology, which is a key element of the new wireless sensor network.
Preliminary testing has shown that a 25 -foot tall mast/antenna atop Rosemount's two-story office
building is needed in order to conduct extended range testing over a period of two to six months
of Rosemount's battery -powered, wireless sensor products and their associated wireless mesh,
network technology.
Permitted Us
An antenna is a permitted use in the IOP district. However, the height is limited when mounted
on a roof. The maximum height is 15 feet above the roof and 10 feet from the roof edge. An
IU? is required for heights exceeding the 15 -foot height limitation. Due to the topography of the
site and the surrounding area, a 15 -foot tall antenna will not reach above the trees. The trees and
surrounding buildings will interfere with the wireless signals that are required to adequately and
accurately test the product to its full potential.
FINDINGS
The Planning Commission shall grant an Interim Use Permit only if it finds that such use at the
proposed location:
a. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general
welfare of the neighborhood or the city.
Finding. The mast/antenna will be mounted on top of the Rosemount roof. It will be located
entirely on the property and is inaccessible to the general public. Granting the IUP will not be
detrimental to the public health, safAy, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the
neighborhood or the city.
b. Will be consistent with the objective of the city's comprehensive plan and this chapter.
Finding. An antenna is a permitted use in the IOP district and is consistent with the
comprehensive plan as well as the zoning code.

c. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so to be compatible in appearance with
the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential
character of that area.
Finding: The nearest subdivision is in excess of 1,300 feet west of the proposed antenna.
Visibility of the mast/antenna will be significantly limited. The site is also surrounded by dense
vegetation to the south. In addition, the mastlantenna will be less than 2 inches in diameter and it
will be grey in color as it will be constructed of metal, which will have minimal visual impact.
d. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or planned neighboring uses.
Finding: The antenna structure will not be substantially visible outside the boundaries of the
Rosemount property. The mastlantenna is a vertical, monopole design and is 20 inches long,
5/8 -inch diameter and weighs 8 ounces. It will be mounted to a 25 -foot tall antenna mast that is
estimated to be less than 2 inches in diameter. The antenna mast will be anchored by multiple
guy wires to the roof of the two-story office building which is 32 feet in height. In addition, the
nearest residential subdivision is located in excess of 1,300 feet away from the proposed site.
e. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and
fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems and schools; or
will be served adequately by such facilities and services provided by the persons or agencies
responsible for the establishment of the proposed use.
Findings. The building for which the mast/antenna will be located currently exists and is
adequately served by public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection,
drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems.
f Will not create excessive requirements for public facilities and services and will not be
detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
Findings. The primary use is currently constructed on the site. The proposed mastlantenna will
have little or no impact on the economic welfare of the community.
g. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation
that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare due to excessive
production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, rodents, or trash.
Findings. Tbc mast/anterma will be located entirely on the Rosemount property atop of a two-
story building. The mastlanterma. will transmit sigrials to remote antennas in various locations
throughout the city. It will not be detrimental to any person or property or the general welfare of
the communit3r, there will not be an increase of traffic, noise, smoke, finnes, glare, odors,
rodents, or trash.
h. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which do not create traffic congestion or
interfere with traffic or surrounding public thoroughfares.

A variance is required to erect a 40 foot tall antenna/ antenna mast atop the roof of the two-story
office building on the Rosemount, Inc. property at 8200 Market Blvd (PID #251890010).
Standard building code allows only a 15 foot tall antenna which has proven insufficient for our
needs.
Findings for granting a variance to allow a 40' tall antenna atop the two-story office building on
the Rosemount, Inc properties at 8200 Market Blvd, Chanhassen, MN.
• Because of the topography of the surrounding area, a 40 foot tall antenna atop
Rosemount's two-story office building is needed in order to conduct extended range
testing over a period of 2-6 months of Rosemount's battery -powered, wireless sensor
products and their associated wireless mesh network technology. As it is today, a 15 foot
tall antenna atop the two-story office building would allow only point-to-point wireless
testing and would not allow the extended range testing of wireless mesh network
technology, which is a key element of the new wireless sensor network. Adjacent
properties directly to the north and to the east of the Rosemount, hic. Chanhassen
property are at higher elevation and have taller structures that block the line of sight radio
transmission path required for extended range (—I mile). Preliminary testing has shown
that a 32 foot tall antenna mast is not sufficient to provide relief in all directions, but it is
believed a 40 foot tall antenna would be satisfactory.
• Adjacent properties to the north and to the east are at higher elevation and have taller
structures, so that standard a 15 foot tall antenna atop their buildings would provide
considerably better radio reception than at the Rosemount, Inc property.
• The purpose of the variation is to conduct temporary wireless sensor network testing and
the requested variance is not intended to increase the value or the income potential of the
land.
• The difficulty is due to topography and height of surrounding buildings and is not a self-
created hardship.
• Since the site for the antenna is entirely on Rosemount, hic property and is inaccessible to
the general public, granting the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare nor
will it be injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood.
• The variance will not impair an adequate supply of light or air to adjacent properties. Not
will it substantially increase the congestion of public streets, increase the danger of fire,
endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the
neighborhood. The antenna structure will not be substantially visible outside the
boundaries of the Rosemount, Inc property. The actual antenna is a vertical, monopole
design and is 20 inches long, 5/8 inch diameter and weighs only 8 ounces. It will be
mounted atop a 40 foot tall antenna mast that is estimated to be less than 2 inches in
diameter. The antenna mast will be anchored by multiple guy wires to the roof of the
two-story office building which is 32 feet in height. It will be designed and certified to
meet all applicable building codes.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a 25 -foot height variance from the
15 -foot maximum height requirement for a roof antenna for the purpose of product testing.
Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet.
LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAIUNG: The City's discretion in
approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the proposed project meets the
standards in the Zoning Ordinance for a variance. The City has a relatively high level of
discretion with a variance because the applicant is seeking a deviation from established
standards. This is a quasi judicial decision.

PROPOSAL SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting a variance to allow a 40 -foot mast and antenna on the roof of the
southwest office building located on the Rosemount property. The requested height is to extend the
antenna above the treetops and adjacent buildings in order to transmit signals from wireless sensors
located in various areas of the City for testing purposes. City code limits roof -mounted antennas to
15 feet above the roof
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
• Chapter 20, Division 3, Variances
• Section 20-1515 (1). Antennas mounted on roofs, walls, and existing towers.
BACKGROUND
The property is located on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 2 d Addition, which
is zoned Industrial Office Park (IOP). Rosemount is a supplier of process automation
technologies which are developed and tested on site. Rosemount has developed a new
monitoring device that is ready for the testing phase.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting a 25 -foot variance from the 15 -foot maximum height limitation for a
roof -mounted antenna to allow a temporary 40 -foot mast/antenna. The purpose of the variance is
to extend the antenna above the treetops to allow for optimal remote transmission to test a new
battery -powered, wireless mesh, network technology.

Rosemount is in the testing phase of development for the
wireless mesh network technology and have located several
remote transmitters at various locations throughout the City,
which includes Bandimere Park, Power Hill Park, Lake Ann
Park, the Water Treatment Plant, Highway 312 (the Lakeside
Development) and another location which is yet to be
determined, as illustrated in the network schematic to the left.
The two-story building on which the mastlanterma will be
mounted to is 32 feet high; the proposed variance will give the
antenna a total height of 72 feet above grade.
If the antenna were mounted to a freestanding tower, the
maximum height allowed for the tower including the
antenna is 150 feet. The applicant contemplated applying
for a Conditional Use Permit to install a freestanding tower
to allow for a greater height; however, since the proposed
antenna is needed only temporarily, they would prefer to
mount it on the roof.
Staff researched past Planning Commission minutes and City
Council minutes to determine the masoning for the 15 -foot
height limitation and was unable to find any discussion.
City code allows temporary antennas and/or towers for test
purposes for up to 72 hours. There is not a height
limitation for temporary towers; however, the proposed
temporary tower exceeds the 72 -hour limitation. As an
example of the proposed mast/antenna the applicant
photographed a temporary mast/antenna used for testing
purposes. The proposed mastlanterma will be less visible
as it will be grey in color, constructed of metal and steel
materials
While the applicant's intention of the mast/antenna is temporary, granting of the variance will
allow permanent use, i.e. a 40 -foot mast/anterma atop the roof, a time limit cannot be placed on a
variance. Staff was unable to pursue an Interim Use Permit because antermas are a permitted use
in the IOP district; therefore, the applicant is requesting a height variance.

The nearest residential subdivision is Lake Susan Hills West, which is in excess of 1300 feet
from the southwest building in which the mastlantenna is proposed to be located. In addition, the
proposed site is surrounded by dense vegetation.
The antenna structure will not be substantially visible outside the boundaries of the Rosemount
property. The antenna is a vertical, monopole design and is 20 inches long, 5/8 -inch diameter
and weighs 8 ounces. It will be mounted on a 40 -foot tall metal mastlanterma that is estimated to
be less than 2 inches in diameter. The mast/antenna will be anchored by multiple steel guy wires
to the roof of the two-story office building, which is 32 feet in height. It will be designed and
certified to meet all applicable building codes as well as approval firom the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and any appropriate state
review authority. A building permit will be required prior to installation of the mast/antenna. It
is staffs opinion that locating the temporary anterma on the roof will have a far less visual
impact than a free-standing tower. Granting of the variance is reasonable given the unique site
characteristics.
Site Characteristics
The site is surrounded by mature trees, buildings and higher elevations which will interfere with
the radio transmission line of site which is required for extended range capabilities,
approximately I mile. A 15 -foot tall antenna atop the two-story office building would allow
only point-to-point wireless testing and would not allow the extended range testing of wireless
mesh, network technology, which is a key element of the new wireless sensor network.
Preliminary testing has shown that a 32 -foot tall antenna mast is not sufficient to provide relief in
all directions; however, a 40 -foot tall mastlantenna atop Rosemount's two-story office building
is needed in order to conduct extended range testing over a period of two to six months of
Rosemount's battery -powered, wireless sensor products and their associated wireless mesh,
network technology.
Permitted Use
An anterma. is a permitted use in the JOP district. However, the height is limited when mounted
on a roof The maximum height is 15 feet above the roof and 10 feet from the roof edge. Due to
the topography of the site and the surrounding area, the antenna will not reach above the trees.
The trees and surrounding buildings will interfere with the wireless signals that are required to
adequately and accurately test the product to its full potential.
The Planning Commission shall not grant a variance unless they find the following facts:
a. That the literal enforcement of this chapter would cause an undue hardship. Undue hardship
means that the property cannot be put to reasonable use because of its size, physical
surroundings, shape or topography. Reasonable use includes a use made by a majority of

comparable property within 500 feet of it. The intent of this provision is not to allow a
proliferation of variances, but to recognize that there are pre-existing standards in this
neighborhood. Variances that blend with these pre-existing standards without departing
downward from them meet these criteria.
Finding: Due to the topography of the surrounding area, a 40 -foot tall mast/antenna atop
Rosemount's two-story office building is needed in order to conduct extended range testing over
a period of two to six months of Rosemount's battery -powered, wireless sensor products and
their associated wireless mesh network technology. A 15 -foot tall antenna atop the two-story
office building would allow only point-to-point wireless testing and would not allow the
extended range testing of wireless mesh, network technology, which is a key element of the new
wireless sensor network. Adjacent properties directly to the north and to the east of the
Rosemount property are at higher elevation and have taller structures that block the line of sight
radio transmission path required for extended range, approximately I mile. Preliminary testing
has shown that a 32 -foot tall antenna mast is not sufficient to provide relief in all directions, but
a 40 -foot tall antenna would be satisfactory.
b. The conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are not applicable, generally, to
other property within the same zoning classification.
Finding Adjacent properties to the north and to the east are a higher elevation and have taller
structures, so that a standard 15 -foot tall antenna atop their building may provide considerably
better radio reception than at the Rosemount property.
c. The purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income potential
of the parcel of land.
Finding. The purpose of the variation is to conduct temporary wireless sensor network testing
and the requested variance is not intended to increase the value or the income potential of the
land.
d. The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship.
Finding. The difficulty is due to topography and height of surrounding buildings and trees and
is not a self-created hardship. The variance is requested to conduct testing on a wireless mesh
network with remote sensors located at various points throughout the City. The product cannot
be tested to its full capabilities unless the sight radio ftansmission path is unobstructed.
e. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other
land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located.
Finding. Since the mastlantenna will be mounted on top of the Rosemount roof; it will be
located entirely on the property and is inaccessible to the general public, granting the variance
will not be detrimental to the public welfare nor will it be injurious to other land or
improvements in the neighborhood. In addition, the mast/antenna will be constructed of metal

and be grey in color. The nearest subdivision is in excess of 1300 feet from the proposed
antenna and visibility of the mast/antenna will be significantly limited.
f. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property
or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger of fire or
endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the
neighborhood.
Finding: The variance will not impair an adequate supply of light or air to adjacent properties,
nor will it substantially increase the congestion of public streets, increase the danger of fire,
endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the
neighborhood. The antenna structure will not be substantially visible outside the boundaries of
the Rosemount property. The mast/antcnna is a vertical, monopole design and is 20 inches long,
5/8 -inch diameter and weighs 8 ounces. It will be mounted to a 40 -foot tall anterma mast that is
estimated to be less than 2 inches in diameter. The antenna mast win be anchored by multiple
guy wires to the roof of the two-story office building which is 32 feet in height. It will be
designed and certified to meet all applicable building codes as well as approval from the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and
any appropriate state review authority.

c. The purpose of the variation is to conduct temporary wireless sensor network testing and the
requested variance is not intended to increase the value or the income potential of the land.
d. The difficulty is due to topography and height of surrounding buildings and trees and is not
a self-created hardship. The variance is requested to conduct testing on a wireless mesh
network with remote sensors located at various points throughout the City. The product
cannot be tested to its full capabilities unless the sight radio transmission path is
unobstructed.
e. Since the mastlantenna will be mounted on top of the Rosemount roof, it will be located

proposed antenna and visibility of the mast/antenna will be significantly limited.
f. The variance will not impair an adequate supply of light or air to adjacent properties, nor
will it substantially increase the congestion of public streets, increase the danger of fire,
endanger the pubhc safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the
neighborhood The antenna structure will not be substantially visible outside the boundaries
of the Rosemount property. Ile mast/antenna is a vertical, monopole design and is 20
inches long, 518 -inch diameter and weighs 8 ounces. It will be mounted to a 40 -foot tall
antenna mast that is estimated to be less than 2 inches in diameter. The antenna mast will be

A variance is required to erect a 40 foot tall antenna/ antenna mast atop the roof of the two-story
office building on the Rosemount, Inc. property at 8200 Market Blvd (PID #251890010).
Standard building code allows only a 15 foot tall antenna which has proven insufficient for our
needs.
Findings for granting a variance to allow a 40' tall antenna atop the two-story office building on
the Rosemount, Inc properties at 8200 Market Blvd, Chanhassen, MN.
• Because of the topography of the surrounding area, a 40 foot tall antenna atop
Rosemount's two-story office building is needed in order to conduct extended range
testing over a period of 2-6 months of Rosemount's battery -powered, wireless sensor
products and their associated wireless mesh network technology. As it is today, a 15 foot
tall antenna atop the two-story office building would allow only point-to-point wireless
testing and would not allow the extended range testing of wireless mesh network
technology, which is a key element of the new wireless sensor network. Adjacent
properties directly to the north and to the east of the Rosemount, Inc. Chanhassen
property are at higher elevation and have taller structures that block the line of sight radio
transmission path required for extended range (-1 mile). Preliminary testing has shown
that a 32 foot tall antenna mast is not sufficient to provide relief in all directions, but it is
believed a 40 foot tall antenna would be satisfactory.
• Adjacent properties to the north and to the east are at higher elevation and have taller
structures, so that standard a 15 foot tall anterma. atop their buildings would provide
considerably better radio reception than at the Rosemount, Inc property.
• The purpose of the variation is to conduct temporary wireless sensor network testing and
the requested variance is not intended to increase the value or the income potential of the
land.
• The difficulty is due to topography and height of surrounding buildings and is not a self-
created hardship.
• Since the site for the antenna is entirely on Rosemount, Inc property and is inaccessible to
the general public, granting the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare nor
will it be injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood.
• The variance will not impair an adequate supply of light or air to adjacent properties. Not
will it substantially increase the congestion of public streets, increase the danger of fire,
endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the
neighborhood. The antenna structure will not be substantially visible outside the
boundaries of the Rosemount, Inc property. The actual antenna is a vertical, monopole
design and is 20 inches long, 5/8 inch diameter and weighs only 8 ounces. It will be
mounted atop a 40 foot tall antenna mast that is estimated to be less than 2 inches in
diameter. The antenna mast will be anchored by multiple guy wires to the roof of the
two-story office building which is 32 feet in height. It will be designed and certified to
meet all applicable building codes.

A variance is required to erect a 40 foot tall antenna/ antenna mast atop the roof of the two-story
office building on the Rosemount, Inc. property at 8200 Market Blvd (PID #251890010).
Standard building code allows only a 15 foot tall antenna which has proven insufficient for our
needs.
Findings for granting a variance to allow a 40' tall antenna atop the two-story office building on
the Rosemount, Inc properties at 8200 Market Blvd, Chanhassen, MN.
• Because of the topography of the surrounding area, a 40 foot tall antenna atop
Rosemount's two-story office building is needed in order to conduct extended range
testing over a period of 2-6 months of Rosemount's battery -powered, wireless sensor
products and their associated wireless mesh network technology. As it is today, a 15 foot
tall antenna atop the two-story office building would allow only point-to-point wireless
testing and would not allow the extended range testing of wireless mesh network
technology, which is a key element of the new wireless sensor network. Adjacent
properties directly to the north and to the east of the Rosemount, Inc. Chanhassen
property are at higher elevation and have taller structures that block the line of sight radio
transmission path required for extended range (— 1 mile). Preliminary testing has shown
that a 32 foot tall antenna mast is not sufficient to provide relief in all directions, but it is
believed a 40 foot tall antenna would be satisfactory.
• Adjacent properties to the north and to the east are at higher elevation and have taller
structures, so that standard a 15 foot tall antenna atop their buildings would provide
considerably better radio reception than at the Rosemount, hic property.
• The purpose of the variation is to conduct temporary wireless sensor network testing and
the requested variance is not intended to increase the value or the income potential of the
land.
• The difficulty is due to topography and height of surrounding buildings and is not a self-
created hardship.
• Since the site for the antenna is entirely on Rosemount, Inc property and is inaccessible to
the general public, granting the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare nor
will it be injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood.
• The variance will not impair an adequate supply of light or air to adjacent properties. Not
will it substantially increase the congestion of public streets, increase the danger of fire,
endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the
neighborhood. The antenna structure will not be substantially visible outside the
boundaries of the Rosemount, Inc property. The actual antenna is a vertical, monopole
design and is 20 inches long, 5/8 inch diameter and weighs only 8 ounces. It will be
mounted atop a 40 foot tall antenna mast that is estimated to be less than 2 inches in
diameter. The antenna mast will be anchored by multiple guy wires to the roof of the
two-story office building which is 32 feet in height. It will be designed and certified to
meet all applicable building codes.

Expanding the Possibilities
By Ron Helson, Executive Director, HART Communication Foundation
As the technology owner and standards -
setting body for the HART Protocol, the
HART Communication Foundation was in a
unique position to develop a wireless communication
standard for process measurement and control applica-
tions. We were able to draw on the technical resoturces
and expertise of more than 200 member companies to
create a new technology that expands the capabilities of
the HART Protocol while protecting the global installed
base of 24+ indlion HART devices.
WirelessHART— Corrunuirrication is a new
capability defined in the HART 7 specifications
that establishes the first open and interoperable
wireless communication standard for the process
automation industry. WirelessHART focuses on
the needs of the industry by providing a simple, N
reliable, and secure technology for wrreless transitussion of
process and diagnostic data from intelligent field devices.
This new wireless standard builds on established and
field -proven technologies, including the HART protocol,
IEEE 802.15.4 radios, frequency -hopping, and mesh
networking. These standards allowed us to create a
solution that is easily deployed by instrumentation pro-
fessionals�preserving the HART-enablcd devices, tools,
training, and work procedures used today.
WrrelessHART— is fully backward-comparible with
existing instrumentation, extending the value of installed
HART -enabled devices. It complements, but does not
replace, wired HART technology, providing an additional
capability that can benefit both your existing wired ap-
plications and new monitoring and control applications.
Why wireles�s? Wireless provides a cost-effective ad-
ditional communication path for many legacy control
systems, enabling access to the intelligent information
in field devices. And new measuement and control
devices can be quickly and easily deployed without the
physical limitation and expense of signal wire.
Soon suppliers will introduce HART 7 -enabled devices
at will provide a new way to monitor, manage,
and diagnose existing and new measurement and
control instruntentation—allowing your intel-
0 t,
ligent field instruments to communicate valuable
information to provide significant operational
cost reductions, enable process improvements,
and facilitate regulatory compliance.
HART Communication is stronger than ever. Mil-
lions of HART -enabled devices are purchased and
installed each year. The HART protocol continues to
be the technology of choice for smart instrumenta-
tion. WirelessHARI— is yet another example of how
the Foundation continues to strengthen and enhance
the technology to ensure that it supports your needs
and protects your investment.
The following articles provide an overview of the new
enhancements to the HART Protocol standard. You will
learn what WirelessHART— is, where it cam be used, how
it expands the benefits of HART technology, and what
you need to know to start expanding the possibilities!

0 f the 24 million -plus HART -enabled de-
vices currently installed around the globe,
only about 10 percent are delivering �ffieir
full diagnostic potential, a state of affairs that
is poised for change," says Ron Helson, HART
Communication Foundation (HCF) Executive
Director. "Development of the WirelessHART,-
standard, along with the new enhanced DDL
capabilities, opens the door to the untapped func-
tions in HART devices and simplifies the task of
integrating instrumentation from multiple vendors
into plant asset optimization systerns�"
ENHANCING HART
Since 1990, millions of HART devices have been
installed, and most remain in service today. Pro-
tecting that installed base was paramount when
the HART Foundation, with the assistance of end
users and ABB, Adaptive Instruments, Coronis,
Dust Networks� Elpro, Emerson Process Manage-
ment� Endress+Hause; Flowserve, Honeywell,
MACTek, Onmex, Pepperl+Fuchs, Phoenix Con-
tact, Siemens, Smar, and Yokogawa, defined the
requirements for WirelessHART.—
Emerson Process Management's director of HART
and Fieldbus Technology, Marty Zielinski, says, "The
Wireles5HART' standard effort has produced a fully
digital protocol that u consolidated mechanisms
to reduce communications overhead and adds im-
portant capabilities to the HART standard, including
alarms, alerts, status with measurements, and time
synchronization, just to name a few"
The results are seen in the key technical fea-
tures of the recently released HART Protocol
Revision 7 (HART 7) standard:

HART FOR PROFIT. USING THE DATA
From its very beginning, the HART protocol has
provided far more capabilities than configuring
field devices. First, it provides real-time device
diagnostics as well as multivariable device infor-
mation. When effectively used, HART information
has repeatedly enabled companies to lower operat-
ing cost and increase plant availability and reli-
ability, thereby improving plant competitiveness.
"Yes, we're going to move into WirelessHART;r"
says Rob Brooks, process control supervisor,
PPG Industries, Lake Charles, La., who has been
experimenting with wireless for three years. "We
already have an AMS system. Ease -of -use -wise
and cost -wise, wireless is the way to go."
In a traditional hardwired HART installation, a
pair of wires connects the HART field instrument
with a host system. On that pair of wires are two
signals, a 4-20mA analog signal that carries the
primary process measurement — flow, pressure,
temperature, etc. Simultaneously riding on that
same pair of wires is an all-digital signal that
contains HART device information — secondary
measurement values, device health, and other
process and diagnostic information.
The release of the HART 7 standard added
WirelessHART' as an additional means of com-
municating the all-digital HART diagnostic and
multivariable device information and even the
basic process variable, if required.
"While developing the WirelessHART— stan-_
dard, the committee remained vigilant of two
key requirements," says Wally Pratt, the HART
Communication Foundation's chief engineer. "It
must be easy to deploy, and it must be easy to use.
There should be no need for users to learn about
radio technologies, communication linking or
become antenna experts."
With the help of experts in process applications,
wireless technologies and the HART protocol, the
HCF thoroughly investigated wireless technolo-
gies, assembled the best elements, and added them
to the popular HART specification. The result is
that WirelessHART' complements wired HART;
it does not replace it-

UNCHAIN YOUR DATA!
HOW IT WOPKS
Hesh Kagan, Invensys' director of technol-
ogy, explains, "WirelessHART- and SPIOO use
the same radio and mesh networking stacks.
Though WirelessHART' has some underlying
differences, it could certainly be run as one of
SP100's protocols."
WirelessHART' technology is based on
the international radio technology standard,
IEEE802.15.4 2AGHz. These are low-power
radios, making them ideal for industrial environ-
ments, and they are cost-effective and available
from multiple sources. Conforming to interna-
tional regulations, a +lOdBm amplifier is used
that allows a device -to -device communication
range of approximately 650 ft. (200m). All
WirelessHART— field devices are required to be
capable of routing messages from one device to
another, effectively increasing the reach of a net-
work beyond a single transmission link.
Major features of the WirelessHART— proto-
col include:
• Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) — This
technique provides scheduled transmissions over
the network in a series of 10ms time slots. This
coordinates data transmissions, reduces power
consumption, and eliminates data collisions
within the network, effectively using bandwidth
and reducing communication latency.
• Frequency -Hopping — These techniques continu-
ally switch transmissions among different bands.
This prevents potentially disruptive radio signals
from blocking WirelessHART" transmissions.
S-18 A&crtisingsupplemmt to CONTROL
WirelessHART" uses the IEEE -defined media
access control (MAC) header, further ensuring
robust, reliable co -existence with neighboring
wireless networks.
• Fully redundant mesh networking — Wire-
lessHART— permits each device to transmit its
own data and relay information from other
devices in the network, giving highly reliable
end-to-end data communication. Each transmit-
ting device has two routes to send data to the
network gateway. The alternate (self -healing)
route is automatically established anytime a por-
tion of the primary route is temporarily blocked
either physically or by electrical interference.
• Enhanced security — WirelessHART' employs
robust, industry -standard authentication security
techniques that help ensure that both the net-
work and its data are protected at all times. This
includes message confidentiality (end-to-end
encryption), message integrity checking, authen-
tication (message and device), and secure proce-
dures for devices requesting to join a network.
Thomas Holmes, president of MACrek de-
scribes the potential of WirelessRART,' saying,
"It expands the possibilities for users to gain
access to valuable device information already sit-
ting in their installed field devices. Access to this
information provides the key to lowering operat-
ing costs while remaining competitive. In many
cases, WirelessHART— will allow users to have
access to critical diagnostics and alarm informa-
tion that would not be available using traditional
wired HART technology." 0
What WirelessHART TM
Can Do For You
When facing new operational challenges, innovative companies
find solutions using wireless technologies.
WirfelessHART- is not just another piece
• manufacturing bling---the equivalent
• of
f the newest "must have" cell phone
or MP3 player that, in reality, consumers can do
just fine without. Rather, it -extends the power of
wired HART and has the potential to become an
essential part of your process plant's communica-
tions network. It opens up new possibilities for
measurement, testing, quality control, asset man-
agement, and safety. What follows is an explora-
tion of some of these potential uses.
NOT JUST "PART-TIMEff HELP
The truth is, and always has been, that HART
communication does aid device commissioning
and troubleshooting, but it is a "full-fime" re-
source, providing multivariable process data as
well as device status and health information. And
now, with the introduction of WirelessHART,'
each and every one of those features and benefits
are easier than ever to collect.
Gareth Johnston, a Fieldbus communication
specialist with ABB, says "The low cost of install-
ing WirelessHART- will result in the end user
being able to install short-term or ad hoc process
measurements to improve the view of the process,
perhaps to solve quality issues."
Marty Zielinski, Emerson Process Management's
director of HART and fieldbus technology, concurs.
"WirelesslIART"� can also be used to add new
wireless measurement points at up to 90 percent
lower installed cost than conventional wired points."
Whether you need additional monitoring, easier
ways to calibrate field instruments, better records
of instrument configuration changes and calibra-
tion records, online insight into instrumentation
status, health and performance, assistance in
S-12 Advertising supplernerst to CONTROL
diagnosing and troubleshooting instrumentation,
speedier commissioning, monitoring of critical
data, or even supervisory process control, wired—
and now WirelessHART-- is able to meet each
and every one of those requirements- - -
THE WAY IT COULD BE
Some major industrial users, such as BP and PPG,
are installing prototype projects. Both companies
have installed Emerson's wireless systems, that
company spokespersons have said are intended to
be pre -standard WirelessHART— devices that can
easily be upgraded once the standard is completely
released and certified devices are available- Other
vendors, such as ABB, Honeywell, and Yokogawa,
have also had beta test sites.
But because WirelessHART— is so new, real-
world examples are not available. So to explore
the benefits of WirelessHART,— we have provided
four fictitious companies with real problems
found in real process operations and that demon-
strate the kinds of solutions WirelessHART— can
provide. Here are the real-world challenges faced
by these fictitious companies.
* Everyday Chemicals wants to expand its prod-
uct offerings and quickly learns that it also needs
better visibility into its processes.
* Faced with aging instrumentation, no visibility
about instrumentation health and performance,
and ever-increasing customer demands for water,

able, cost-effective solution that can be updated
over time and will reuse as much of its existing
instrumentation infrastructure as possible.

between planned maintenance shutdowns, but to
do so and remain OSHA (Occupational Safety
& Health Agency)-comphant, it needs a way to
extend the full proof -testing intervals of its safety
instrumented systems (SIS).
AD HOC MEASUREMENTS
Sometimes the addition of new measurement points
can help improve product quality, process reh-
abflity or plant safety. Many modern analytical
instruments provide multiple variables that are
accessible via WirelessHART.— By replacing
obsolete, single -purpose instrumentation with
HART -aware devices and adding self -powered
WirelessHAR'r" adapters, new and/or secondary
process measurements can be provided easily
and cost-effectively.
For example, Everyday Chemicals will replace
several single -measurement temperature transmit-
ters with dual -measurement tools. For each new
transmitter, the original (primary) temperature
measurement used the existing wiring and 110
channel and appeared on the operator's graphic
exactly like the old temperature measurement. The
new (secondary) temperature measurement will be
collected and reported via WirelessHART" com-
munication. Because of the case of installation,
Everyday Chemicals will be able to replace the
old transmitters with new ones while the process
remains operational.
When Everyday analyzes the cost savings of not
having to add long runs of conduit and wire, not

ment points that increase process visibility. Armed
with new process insights, the operators will be
able to significantly improve Everyday Chemicals'
product quality.
AGING INSTRUMENTABON
When you read articles in trade publications or at-
tend conferences and user group events, it's easy to
forget that not everyone has installed cutting-edge
digital fieldbus. In fact, there are still many plants
with decades -old pneumatic instrumentation.
A significant number of process control instal-
lations have yet to make it to the 4-2OmA analog
electronic era, and there are boatloads of pre -
HART 4-2OmA instruments and another boatload
of HART instruments that are under-utilized
throughout the world.
Because WirelessHART" is fully backward -
compatible, it opens up all sorts of opportunities
to use those thousands of miles of existing wire to
ease replacement of aging instrumentation as well
as begin using HART information to improve pro-
cess reliability, availability, and plant utilization.
Like many utilities and municipalities, Mega -
Metropolis Water Treatment cannot justify a
rate increase to cover the cost of upgrading to
digital fieldbus technologies. However, it also
cannot afford to maintain the status quo; it
needs a reliable, cost-effective solution that can
be updated over time and reuse as much of the
existing instrumentation infrastructure as pos-
sible. Enter WirelessHART.'
By conducting an in-depth instrumentation
audit, Mega -Metropolis will be able to develop
When asked about the benefits of using HART process and
device information to extend safety system proof -testing
intervals, exida founder and recognized safety instrument
ed system expert, William Goble, said, 'I believe that the
use of HART in SIS for purposes of performing proof -testing
or semi-automatic proof -testing could be very valuable -
I see an increasing number of SiS manufacturers adding
HART Al/A0 input modules. The downside of HART is that
configuration variables can be accessed and changed via
handheld communicators. Some safety transmitters require
that HART be disconnected during safety operation, as the
devices' software and hardware do not provide specific
protection against that possibility."
S-18 Ad,�,fisi.-,s.ppl,��.ttoCOi%'TROL
Mega -Metropolis will develop a three-year plan
to replace aging, but critical existing instruments
with new HART instruments, each fitted with
WirelessHA-RT— adapters.
Less critical instruments will be placed in the
.replace -on -failure -pay -out -of -maintenance"
category. Anytime one of these instruments fails
or otherwise qualifies for replacement, Mega -Me-
tropolis will purchase a HART instrument with
a WirelessHART— adapter and pay for it using
money from its maintenance budget.
Because this plan uses existing wiring, instru-
ment replacements will be easy to install, calibrate,
and commission. After a minor upgrade to existing
handheld configuration devices, Mega -
Metropolis also will be able to configure the new
Wirek.ssHART- parameters. With rare exceptions,
a measurement will be offline for less than one
hour. Armed with new process information, Mega-
Metropolis'Water Treatment will find it can im-
prove filter efficiency and thus filter maintenance,
thereby maximizing chlorine effectiveness. The
ability to analyze HART information also will en-
able Mega -Metropolis to reduce filter maintenance
frequency� thereby freeing up more maintenance
dollars to purchase additional HART instruments.
MANAGING ASSETS
The efficient management of a business's assets
is really what CEOs are expected to do, and how
well they do it is what Wall Street analysts use to
reward or punish a company's stock.
Asset management information is a critical
predictive maintenance component, but that's only
one of its benefits. It can also capture important
institutional knowledge.
Like an increasing number of companies, Really
Cool Inks specializes in producing "designer prod-
ucts"; that is, products designed to meet specific
customer and/or niche markets. The upside of de-
signer products is the potential for greater profits;
the downside is that frequently a significant amount
of time elapses between production batches, and
product formulations aren't well-documented or
universally understood by operators.
Really Cool Ink's new plant manager understands
that in order to capitalize on the upside of designer
products, his plant needs to minimize the downside
impacts, and that means establishing a robust asset
, WIRELESS CUTS THE CHAINS
management infrastructure that can capture the
deep process knowledge that resides in experienced
operators, maintenance technicians, and senior
automation engineers.
Using a similar, but a more aggressive approach
than Mega -Metropolis Water Treatment, Re-
ally Cool Ink's plan includes using the control
system and a robust process -variable historian to
identify the "gold production standard" for each
product, with full recognition that because some
products are so infrequently produced, it will
take years to develop the entire gold -standard
library. Nevertheless, Really Cool Ink's initiative
isn't about quick profits; this asset management
endeavor is viewed by the entire company as
strategic to its long-term success. Therefore, the
chief executives are committed to the tactical
implementation of the plan.
To-ensuLe thatasmuch in -process information
as possible is captured, Really Cool Inks is identi-
fying the critical measurements and replacing all
the non -HART instruments with HART -enabled
and WirelessRART— devices and adapters. During
the initial instrumentation audit, Really Cool Inks
has been pleasantly surprised to find that many
of its instruments are already FLART-capable, but
because they had been installed to help simplify
commissioning and calibration, device diagnostic
and process information has not been collected
from a single instrument.
Really Cool Ink is still in the early stages of
its plan to capture exactly what is required to
become more efficient, agile, and profitable in the
delivery of designer products. However, it knows
one thing for sure; WirelessHART- is one of the
critical components to its success.
Few, if any, process plants use only one instrument com-
munication means. Older plants still have miles and miles
of wire- Plants using digital fieldbus communications (Le.,
DeviceNET, Foundation, Profibus, etc.) likely have installed
different communication protocols to meet different
requirements. The result is often a plant with a fittle-of-
this and a little -of -that. which when examined as a whole,
produces the simple question, 'is there an easy way to get
information from these multiple communication protocols
into one collector (repository) device?"
Now, with the introduction of industrial wireless, the
answer has become much simpler, You bet there is and
WirelessHARr is part of that solution!

SAFETY INSTRUMENTED SYSTEMS
During the past couple of years, process indus-
try safety standard IEC 61511/ANSI/ISA 84.0.1
and its related safety instrumented systems (SIS)
have been grabbing more and more headlines. At
the same time, ever-increasing energy demands
are forcing companies like Giganto Refining to
seek ways to extend the interval between planned
maintenance shutdowns (outages) while remaining
OSHA regulation -compliant.
While examining what will be required to
extend the interval between planned outages, one
of the problems Giganto engineers have identified
is the safety criteria used to design its SISs. Unless
Giganto's engineers can find a way to extend the
interval between when the SIS is fully proof -tested
— a complex test that requires the process to be
shut down — it will not be possible to extend the
interval between planned outages.
Consistent with good engineering practices,
Giganto uses hardwired instruments as SIS inputs.
To facilitate commissioning and calibration ef-
forts, HART instruments have been purchased and
installed. Though Giganto's engineers are aware
of the process and device diagnostics available in
HART devices, efforts to collect and analyze the
information have yet to be undertaken.
Now, with an urgency to extend the interval
between full proof -testing, Giganto's engineers are
taking a hard look at HART information, espe-
cially clause 3 of the IEC 61511 standard.
Clause 3 defines, among other things, the safe
failure fraction (SFF): the fraction of safe failures
and dangerous detected failures in relation to the
total failures. After consulting with safety system
consultants, Giganto's engineers are convinced
that by adding asset management software and
WirelessHART" adapters to its existing SIS
HART devices, they will be able to use the HART
process and device diagnostics to improve the
system's SIFF and thereby extend the time be-
tween full proof -testing.
What makes the WireLessHART' adapters espe-
cially attractive is that each can be added anywhere
along the transmitter wires, and the new devices do
not introduce any common -cause faults.
To minimize the possibility that the HART con-
figuration variables of the safety system transmit-
ters might be inadvertently changed via a handheld
communicator, Giganto engineers will place each
safety system transmitter in a double -locked instru-
ment enclosure and place one key under the control
of the maintenance shop foreman and the second
under that of the operations supervisor.
Through the use of WirelessHART,— asset
management software and some clever physical
transmitter configuration security plans, Giganto
Refining will be able to improve the SET of its
safety systems, thereby extending the interval be-
tween full proof -testing and, in turn, extending the
interval between planned maintenance shutdowns
(outages), all while remaining OSHA regulation -
and IEC 61S11- conformant.
ADDITIONAL WIRELESS OPPORTUNITIES
Though early deployments of Wireless]AART' are
expected to be adaptors installed on hardwired
devices, the HART 7 standard does provide for
fully wireless HART deployments.
Beyond process monitoring, wireless is a natural
fit to provide a cost-effective means for health, safety,
and environmental monitoring in such areas as area
gas detectors, water effluent, gas emissions, relief
devices, steam traps, and safety showers.
AREA GAS DETECTORS
Many process plants require numerous gas detec-
tors throughout the plant to ensure that the air is
safe to breathe and to work in. Wireless detectors
will not only provide an efficient means of provid-
ing an alert to operators, but also to monitor the
operational status of the devices.
WATER EFFLUENT, GAS EMISSIONS,
AND RELIEF DEVICES
The quality of any liquid or gas leaving a pro-
cess facility is vitally important to maintaining
environmental quality. Regulations are requiring
more measurements at more frequent intervals
to ensure compliance and decrease the num-
ber of fugitive emissions. Specifically, Wire-
lessHART— devices could be used to monitor
the opening of relief valves or the condition of
rupture disks. By connecting the wireless data
to the environmental monitoring software for
the plant, WirelessHART' devices can provide
an easy, cost-effective way to audit the required
measurements without extensive modifications
to existing control systems and plant wiring.
Since many effluents aren't located conveniently
close to the center of the plant, the ability of
WirelessHART' devices to operate on batteries
and completely wirelessly makes these measure-
ments possible after all.
STEAM TRAPS
As energy prices rise, it becomes increasingly
important to limit the amount of energy wasted.
Plants often have many steam traps, and these
can be easily monitored for unusual steam flows,
allowing notification of a need for correction of
faulty operation that might otherwise go unno-
ticed for some time.
"We're doing some temperature profiling on a
stagnant steam line that is out in the middle be-
tween two major parts of the plant," says PPG's
Rob Brooks, "where there aren't even junction
boxes." WirelessHART--enabled sensors can
save thousands of dollars in steam costs for
very little outlay.
SAFETY SHOWERS
In the United States, OSHNs First Alert Response
guidelines require that plant operators be alerted
within 10 seconds of an activated safety shower.
Many remote safety showers are located in haz-
ardous locations with no existing signal wiring. A
self -powered WirelessHART' pressure transmit-
ter could be used and would only be required to
switch on its radio when the safety shower is oper-
ated or for remote diagnostic checking.
PROCEED WMi CONFIDENCE
WirelessHART- is an extension of the well-
known, widely accepted and proven -in -use
HART Communication Protocol that has helped
improve thousands of process control facilities
worldwide. You already have the instruments;
now you can unchain the data in them. By updat-
ing the device description file, the same tools you
already use become suitable for use with Wire-
lessHART' devices. WirelessHART' devices can
be configured wirelessly too. WirelessHART—
uses the experience and knowledge gained using
HART to minimize training and simplify mainte-
nance and support activities.
With Wirelessl-IART— you are assured of the
same attention to interoperability and robustness
you've come to expect of wired HART. You get to
use the same instruments in the same way, and you
get the extra benefits. ldke its wired counterpart,
WtrelessHART— technology ensures your invest-
ment will be protected well into the future. 0

Deploying any industrial wireless network requires addressing physical
and security related issues, however WirelessHARTTm offers several
advantages over other wireless alternatives.
ICCMany control systems do not
provide access to HART data,"
says Yokogawa's Manager; Field
Instruments, Kaoru Sonoda, "and wireless technol-
ogy can be a practical and cost-effective solutiom"
The solution is not to require control system
vendors to revise, or end users to rip and replace
existing control systems, but rather to enable
them to do an end run around the problem. But
increased demands on operators and maintenance
demand a simple, effective solution.
Enter wireless.
"Wireless technology has now been tested," Sono -
da continues, "and we believe it is capable of meeting
the critical demands of the process inclustrim"
Gareth Johnston, fieldbus communication specialist
with ABB, says, "WirelessHART— has been designed
to simplify commissioning and lifetime support. The
specification team always had it in mind to keep it as
simple as 4-20mA. The result is that users can employ

FLEXIBIUTY BY DESIGN
According to Guido Stephan, director technology
and processes, automation, and drives, sensors
and communication, R&D technology & pro-
cesses, Siemens AG, "WirelessHART' commu-
nication will not replace wired HART, but it will
offer access to diagnostic features of field devices
and will allow additional applications not pos-
sible with wired devices."
WirelessHART,— part of the new HART 7
standard, provides four ways to acquire data from
field devices.
The first two are the traditional wired methods,
with the primary physical variable on the 4-20
mADC loop, and the digital data (diagnostics,
secondary physical variables, alarms, etc.) carried
on the wire and pulled off at the control system or
by a handheld calibrator.
The two new ways are
1) Wireless adapters for existing field device,
2) WirelessHART" field devices, with or
without wires.
The wireless adapter is designed to retrofit
any of the more than 24 mflhon existing HART
devices and provides wireless access to both the
primary process variable and all the digital data
from the device. A Wirele.55HART" field device
can be installed with or without 4-20 mA loop,
can operate on battery powe4 and provides the
same data access as the adapter. The wireless data
is transmitted to a gateway, which connects to the
control or asset management system.
As with all previous upgrades to HART standards,
HART 7 and WirelessHART" are completely back-
ward compatible to any installed field device.
Now is probably a good time to reiterate that
HART information — diagnostics, health, second-
ary variables, etc. — is communicated digitally
on the same pair of wires as the 4-20mA pri-
mary measurement signal. Implementing Wire-
lessHART' simply provides another means of
accessing that same HART information and more.
WirelassHART— technology is based on IEEE
802.15.4 2.4GHz radio technology. The low power
requirements of radios designed to this standard
make them inherently suitable for low- power mesh
networks, and because of international standards,
these radios are cost-effective and available from
multiple sources. To ensure conformance to inter-
national regulations, each radio includes a +10dBm
amplifier that supports a clear -path transmission
range of approximately 650 ft. (200m). Additionally,
to extend the reach of the wireless network, each
field device is required to communicate its own data
messages, as well as being capable of passing on data
messages received from neighbonng devices. (See
Figure 1.) The flexibility of WirelessHART' provides
multiple options for device placement to extend both
the reach and reliability of the network.
PLANNING
Though the underlying technology of Wire-
kssHART- all but eliminates the need to conduct
complex site surveys, no one is so naive as to
believe that network robustness, maintenance,
and ease of future expansion (scalability) can be
achieved without some degree of up -front planning.
To ensure a WirelessHART— installation meets
performance expectations, users should examine
these four areas:
1) Physical layout,
2) Reliability, security and coexistence,
3) Commissioning,
4) Operation and maintenance.
PHYSICAL LAYOUT
When users begin planning an industrial wireless
network, a plant walk-through reveals the physical
difficulties of achieving clear -path transmissions of
MESH NETWORK ARCHITECTURE

IessHAKr to unchain the valuable diagnostic and process
data locked inside existing systems and provides for future
expansion with a choice of wired or wireless field devices.
even a few hundred feet. Beta testers have reported
that they have installed a gateway and carried a
wireless instrument around to check location and
quality of signal, rather than doing an extensive
survey. Typically process plants have both inter-
mittent and permanent obstacles that are likely to
reduce, often times significantly, a user's ability to
establish wireless communication between field -
mounted devices. WirelessHART"s mesh network
simplifies this issue by providing multiple paths
around obstacles, including the ability to go point-
to-point, not just mesh.
Having the flexibility to locate HART wireless
adapters anywhere along the wire can simplify
installation, maintenance, and security signifi-
cantly, as in the case of the wireless adapters inside
a marshalling cabinet where distances are minimal
and intrinsic safety isn't an issue (Figure 2). Like-
wise, a transmitter can be placed in an otherwise
inaccessible location, say, under a large reactor,
and the adapter located in a location where clear -
path transmission is available. No other wireless
methodology provides this flexibility.
Once a physical WirelessHART— device layout
plan is developed, the next step is to examine reli-
ability and security requirements.

GETTING UNCHAINED
I GMING YOUR FEET WET
You may have 50 or 5000 HART -enabled devices in Your plant,
and all of them are working, doing their jobs. You might not want
to do anything to disturb them while they work until you have
some more experience with the new WirelessHART'" technology.
So what to do?
You can gain experience with unchaining your HART data one
of two ways. First, you could find a place where you'd like to
monitor process variables, but because of the expense, you've
never been able to justify doing it before.
This field device is installed at PPG Industries' Lake Charles,
La., facility and transmits HART data entirely wirelessly. (Photo

PEUABIUTY, SECURITY & COEXISTENCE
Understandably, reliability and security ranked
high among end-user concerns during initial
discussions about deploying wireless technolo-
gies within the process industry To that end
Wirele.ssHART— addresses rehability and security
concerns by using robust, well -proven, and highly
effective techniques. In fact, when combined with
built-in good neighboritolerant neighbor co-
existence features, WirelessHART"s use of fully
proven mesh network routing techniques make
it highly reliable.
Like any good neighbor, WirelessHART" de-
vices try to avoid bad behaviors, such as talking
(transmitting) too loudly, talking too often, talking
too long and/or using the entire frequency band,
that affect others. Tolerance is a second charac-
teristic of being a good neighbor. Within a wire-

one of the beauties of the
WirelessHART' standard is
that the wireless
adapter does not need to be
located at the transmitter.
BP's Cherry Point, Wash., refinery did that in the most publi-
cized beta test of Emerson's SmartWireless system.
SmartWireless was designed as a WirelessHART- precursor;
that is, the system was designed to take HART data wirelessly,
using hardware and firrnw6T that approximated a best -estimate
about the final standard- Emerson publicly stated at the time and
has reiterated since, that SmartWireless was capable of and in -
was released and products were certified and available for sale -
Marty Gering, wireless data collection coordinator and wire-
less worker administrator for the refinery was in charge of the
demonstration installation. Although Cherry Point is actually
the second -newest refinery in the U.S., there are many locations
where large bodies of uncaptured data exist.
"This data is valuable," Gering said at Emerson Exchange 2006
when he discussed the installation, "butwe can'ttouch it because
of the expense of wiring and running conduit. Lube oil and beading
temperatures, among other values, are just left out of the picture"
Gering is at work on another project now: the tank farm.
Cherry Point was built to be a 95,000 bbllday refinery and
less network, tolerance means that receiver nodes
tolerate interference caused by other nearby radio
frequencies or the occasional mistake, doing what
is necessary to prevent data loss. WirelessHART-
transmitters can also use a power turn -down fea-
ture to reduce the reach and/or range of the signal
to avoid network conflicts.
WirelessHART's robust security measures
protect the network and its data at all times.
They include message confidentiality (end-to-
end encryption), message integrity checking,
message and device authentication, and secure
procedures for devices joining the network.
Industry standard techniques are used to
provide authentication and encryption. Wire-
IessHART- also gives users the flexibility to apply
their own network security strategy while prevent-
ing security from ever being disabled.

WirelessHART— network
using adaptors for
existing instruments
has now become a 245,000 blal/day refinery just by increasing
throughput and optimization- The tank farm was built with
only level and, in some cases, temperature sensors, and Gering
wants to access that information wirelessly.
Ve're beginning a new project to connect those tanks whe-
lessly with backup level.We also have hundreds of valves that we'd
like to have positioner information on, as well as other pressures
and temperatures," Gering announced. "We have mixem with mo -
tars we'd Ii ke to monitor current on, and lots of other things. We're
looking at 300 points. We want to finish the engineering this year
and have a big start on implementation by the end of 2007.
As you prepare to install and then commission
WirekssHART— systems, remember that your expe-
rience, training, and tools used for HART -enabled
devices apply to WirelessHART."
WirelessHART- devices are configured and
installed in much the same way as they have
been in the past, protecting your investment and
maintaining the HART experience of being easy
to use. After the WirelessHART— adapters are in-
stalled, commissioning can begin. Actually there
are two parts of commissioning—network com-
missioning and device commissioning.
NETWORK COMMISSIONING
Network commissioning begins when the gateway
device is powered up and begins advertising. Being
the first device in the network, the gateway estab-
lishes its own schedule that synchronizes nodes as
WirelessHART—
gateway
to
or
Cal
In addition to the wireless field device Gering is using,
the second path to unchaining HART data is only now be-
coming available. One of the beauties of the WirelessHART—
standard is that the wireless adapter does not need to be
located at the transmitter. It can be located anywhere along
the 4-20 mA current loop -
As soon as adaptors become certified for compliance, you'll
be able to buy and try them out on existing wired HART instru-
ments where you already know you want the data inside them -
This will require NO rewiring and will not require taking the
instruments or control valves out of service at all.
each one joins the network.
But first, the network manager, which may or
may not be hosted in the gateway device, must be
configured with the correct network ID and device
password(s). Once that is done, die network
manager will automatically adjust the network's
schedule based on the requirements reported by
each device as it joins the network.
Because WirelessHART' provides an additional
means of collecting HART information, the com-
missioning procedure is similar to that for wired
systems. Using existing HART configuration tools,
such as a HART handheld configurator or per-
sonal computer (PC) application, users only need
to configure three additional parameters—device
password(s), network ID and device refresh rate.
Existing handheld or PC applications can also
provide a status display of the joining process

. GETTING UNCHAINED
and will quickly help pinpoint any communica-
tion issues. These devices also can provide access
to diagnostics and supporting device calibration
and maintenance operations.
DEVICE COWASSIONING
The final step to commissioning a Wire-
lessHART' network is to complete device
verification and conduct a loop test of any wired
devices. WirelessHART' devices need no 4-20
mA loop, and have a maintenance port for test-
ing. Commissioning and maintenance are done
via standard commands or DDL.
When so specified on the purchase order, device
manufacturers put device tags and other identifi-
cation and configuration data requested the user
into each field instrument prior to shipment. After
installation, the instrument identification (tag and
descriptor) can be verified in the host system using
a configurator (handheld communicator or PC).
Some field devices provide information on their
physical configuration (e.g., wetted materials). These
and other configuration data can also be verified,
thereby ensuring the installed instrument is suitable
for the application. Such verifications are important
for regulatory health, safety, and environmental con-
formance, as well as ISO quality requirements.
Loop integrity is important when connamssion-
ing a device. For HART -enabled devices, analog
loop integrity can be checked using a loop test
feature, available in many HART devices. The
loop test feature enables the analog signal from a
HART transmitter to be fixed at a specific value
so total loop integrity from device to indicators,
recorders, and operator displays is correct.
Additional integrity can be achieved if the ana-
log value of the primary variable (PV) is compared
to the digital value being reported from the device.
For example, someone might have provided an
offset to the 4-20rrLA analog value that has not
been accounted for in the control system. Compar-
ing the digital value of the PV to the analog value
verifies the entire loop is properly calibrated.
Consistent with wired HART, theWire-
lessHART' specification allows wireless devices
and wired devices using adapters to simulate a
process value to accommodate loop testing, al-
lowing verification of data across the network,
through the gateway, and into a host application.
A wireless device can be set to transmit a fixed
value in order to conduct this important test.
Many HART configurators prmde easy ways of
collecting, archiving, and/or printing commissioned
device information. Because WirelessHART uses
the same configurators; as hardwired HART, existing
procedures for collecting and recording "as -installed"
device configuration data, calibration records, and
other device records remains essentially unchanged.
WirelessHART— is the first open and interoper-
able wireless communication standard designed to
address the critical needs of process industry users.
It has been carefully designed and thoroughly
tested to provide reliable, robust, and secure wire-
less communication in real-world industrial plants.
WirelessHART"" provides new ways to gather
information on process parameters and monitor
the performance of plant assets in areas that have
previously been difficult to achieve either techni-
cally or cost-effectively. It extends the power of
HART into areas that were difficult to reach with
conventional wired systems, and it provides low-
cost digital access to existing HART devices. *
