Wireless Infrastructure

Eliminating the wire using wireless transmitter is the perfect solution for rotating equipment. It establishes data collection between the transmitter and the gateway by reliable communication even though the dryer was rotating.

In plant sites, there are various places such as those affording an unobstructed view like tank yards, and others surrounded by metal pipes and equipment obstructing the view (hereafter referred to "pipe jungles"), often seen in oil refinery and chemical on-site plants. The frequency band of radio waves used for field wireless communication is 2.4 GHz, which has high straightness and its ability to go around things can hardly be expected.

Optimizing automated equipment condition monitoring calls for a different wireless protocol than that used with process instruments.

Wireless instrumentation represent solutions for many of the issues that process plants face today. In this episode, Sean interviews Simon Lillie. They discuss myths around the history of ISA100.11a and some of the interesting challenges wireless instrumentation can solve.
