Endress+Hauser, the Swiss-based instrumentation and automation manufacturer, and SMAR, the Brazilian-based instrumentation company specialized in field communication, announced that they will cooperate strategically in the area of field communication technologies. The two companies have already been working together on Foundation Fieldbus solutions.

Within their strategic technology alliance SMAR and Endress+Hauser will focus the scope of their cooperation to field communication in general, including Foundation Fieldbus, Profibus, Hart and other standardized technologies in order to provide open solutions to their customers. Both companies have a tradition of stressing open connectivity from field devices to control architecture and the MES.

SMAR is recognized as a pioneer with highly advanced software and hardware technologies in Foundation Fieldbus. Endress+Hauser has the widest range of Profibus PA, Hart and Foundation Fieldbus instruments on the market.

"Foundation Fieldbus is one of the most important digital communication bus standards used in Process Automation plants today", says Klaus Endress, CEO and the Endress+Hauser group's chief operating officer. "The great experience that SMAR has in Foundation Fieldbus in particular will strengthen the range of process automation solutions that we can offer to our customers worldwide."

"We can draw on the experience with many thousands of digital instruments operating in Fieldbus Foundation controlled process loops", stresses SMAR's President Edmundo Gorini. "Endress+Hauser is an ideal partner for SMAR. Our cooperation will result in advanced Foundation Fieldbus solutions being available to a broad range of customers who will benefit from this top technology as well as from an extended range of open communications solutions for the market".
