Why go wireless?
Project costs Endress+Hauser’s Wireless solutions provide
you with more information about your process and plant.
Your project costs are also reduced thanks to more efficientplanning and rapid installation.
• Process monitoring and optimization
Wireless technology allows you to better monitor yourprocess. With the additional information it provides, yourprocesses can be more precisely monitored and optimized.
This results in increased efficiency and higher flexibilityof production, as well as reduced energy consumption.
Measuring tasks that are normally not realized due to thehigh cost of wiring, e.g. tank farms, now become feasible.
• Plant Asset Management
Critical points in a plant, e.g. valves, can be more
efficiently integrated into your maintenance strategy byusing wireless technologies. The improved data flow andadditional diagnostic information favor predictive
maintenance. This increases the reliability and safety ofyour plant, while reducing repair costs and unplanned
shutdowns.
• Tank Monitoring / Inventory Control
Working as part of a wireless system, connected devices
acquire measured levels or material flow at regularintervals. The system transmits the information obtained
to SCADA or inventory management software and,depending on application, onward to an ERP system.
As a result, your inventory cost can be reduced and gaps
in supply chains can be closed. This allows you tomaintain your competitiveness in an increasingly
globalized production environment.

Advantages of wireless technology:• Remote and difficult-to-access measuring points
connected without expensive cables• Simple planning, rapid installation, quick integration
into the plant infrastructure• High level of reliability due to redundantcommunication paths• Easiest upgrade of Endress+Hauser and 3rd party
devices• Optimal point of installation in every application
thanks to the flexible adapter concept• Autonomous operation of the field device due tobattery operation• Simple parameterization and monitoring of entire

Wireless portfolio
Our wireless products offer cost-efficient integration of moving, changing andremote measuring points. They provide an extremely flexible method of
integrating measuring points into monitoring systems. The wireless products
can be used in systems subject to regular expansion (e.g. well heads), those
constantly on the move, as well as on rotating or moving machinery. As thesystems are self-organizing, they require a minimum of time to set up, integrate
and commission. Endress+Hauser’s adapter concept also allows wirelesscommunication to be quickly added to the existing infrastructure.

Supported wireless technologies

WirelessHART - flexibility in process management
Reduce your project costs thanks to more efficient planning and rapid
installation.
WirelessHART is a wireless technology specifically conceived forprocess automation. It adds wireless capabilities to the HART protocol
while maintaining compatibility with existing HART devices, commands
and tools. WirelessHART has a number of features, e.g. self-organizationand self-healing, that ensure reliable operation, flexibility and quick
installation. Security and integrity are guaranteed by time synchronizedcommunication, key management and encryption according to AES128.
Advantages:• Remote and difficult-to-access measuring points connected without
expensive cables• Simple planning, rapid installation, quick integration into the plant
infrastructure• High level of reliability due to redundant communication paths• Easiest upgrade of Endress+Hauser and 3rd party HART devices• Simple parameterization and monitoring of entire plant sections
using DTM and DD technology with e.g. FieldCare, Plant AssetManagement software

Bluetooth® - simple, secure device communication
Bluetooth® technology is a wireless communication standard that allows
devices to exchange data over short distances using radio waves.
It operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM (industrial, scientific, and medical) bandand is designed for low power consumption, making it suitable forbattery-powered devices.
The technology supports various profiles, which are sets of protocols
that define the capabilities and communication methods between
devices. These profiles include audio streaming (A2DP), file transfer(FTP), hands-free calling (HFP), and many others.
Advantages:• Wireless convenience with easy setup and arrangements ofdevices - enabling seamless data transmission• Reduced costs associated with cabling and physical connectors• Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) supports prolonged battery life for
IIoT devices• High interoperability thanks to seamless integration into your plant• Enhanced security with secure data transmission for industrial IoT
applications

Cybersecurity and security

Security at the highest level
Cybersecurity at Endress+Hauser is taken very seriously
Through our cybersecurity program, we ensure a holistic
approach of security for our products, processes andinfrastructure.

Cybersecurity at all levels

LibraryThis commitment is underlined by the security certifications
we maintain. To ensure that the products you are using inyour plant are securely developed, our secure development
lifecycle process has been certified by TÜV Rheinland against
the IEC 62443-4-1, an established security standard for theindustry.
Furthermore, the environment in which the products aredeveloped is under constant scrutiny. In the context of ourcloud offering Netilion, Endress+Hauser went the extra mile
and achieved certification by the SQS, that the processes andsystems behind this offering are compliant to ISO 27001, oneof the most accepted standards for IT security. For Netilion
itself we are also following industry best practices stated in
ISO 27017, a cloud security control catalog.

HealthFieldCare

Keep your plant secure with Endress+Hauser’s expertise

Combining these disciplines in one certification strategy,
validated through independent certification bodies,
Endress+Hauser aims to provide you with all the reinsurance
possible to qualify as your trusted partner for a secure
process automation.

Secure connection with Bluetooth® Low Energy
and CPace

CPace
Bluetooth® Low Energy

All our measuring instruments with Bluetooth® connection are supported

Secure Bluetooth® connection by Endress+HauserThis secure low energy technology for the process industry
developed was by Endress+Hauser, as convenient wirelessaccess to field instruments is of increasing interest.
Significant security risks emerge with the growing frequency
with which instruments are accessed remotely. Developmentsin the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are leading tointerconnected process control components. To tackle this,we have developed a security layer for Bluetooth® that
protects the passwords, using CPace as its core component.
With CPace, notorious attacks on the Bluetooth® pairingstep are prevented.
Secure WirelessHART connection
WirelessHART employs robust security measures to protect
your network and secure data at all times. These measures
include the latest security techniques to provide the highest
levels of protection available.
Security features associated with privacy aim to prevent
eavesdropping by unauthorized devices inside or outside
the network. A WirelessHART sensor network provides
end-to-end CCM mode 128-bit AES encryption at the
network/transport layer for every message in the network.
In addition to individual session keys, a common network
key is shared among all devices on a network to facilitate
broadcast activity as needed. Encryption keys can berotated to provide an even higher level of protection.
A separate 128-bit join encryption key is used to keep data
private that is sent and received during the joining process.
