What is Wireless instrumentation:

The term “Wireless Instrumentation” is used to describe autonomous battery powered sensor systems that integrates wireless technology to enables remote sensor values to be reported to a central hub. The central hub can be a Field Gateway that interfaces to a PLC or RTU systems; or directly to Cloud SCADA host.

Wireless Instrumentation is battery powered to provide rapid deployment with minimum installation costs.  These battery powered systems are designed to operate from 1 to 5 years between battery changes.

Why wireless instrumentation ?

Increasing numbers of companies are taking advantage of wireless instrumentation networks for process monitoring due to the many benefits compared to wired infrastructure:

• Low cost installation

• Ability to obtain process measurements from moving equipment, such as rotary drum dryers, mobile carts, etc.)

• Ability to “try” process measurements in a variety of areas to obtain the optimum location

• Low cost of adding a wireless measurement allows a company to add process data measurements that could not be economically justified with wired installations

• All of the information provided by wireless measurements can now be brought into the automation system for monitoring, alarming, historization and improved operations — as well as for real-time control in certain applications.

  
  

WirelessHART provides self-organizing, adaptive mesh communication and offers high-speed, reliable, secure and redundant wireless communications.

Security of the data transfer:

The security of the data transfer is protected by encryption, authentication, verification, anti-jamming and network key management.
