Real-Time MonitoringWith a Smart Wireless solution forsafety mustering, during emergenciesand drills, personnel entering amustering station are automaticallyconfirmed and recorded via an RFIDWi-Fi tag that they wear. Instantreports and map identification can

be viewed in order to monitor theevacuation in real-time.

Location awareness... ...helps you nd and protect yourpeople and your assets.

rkforce safety is your highestority. Having full visibility tosonnel location and hazardousas is extremely critical to ancient evacuation in case of anergency. Accounting for yourple in a real emergency with

pboards and walkie-talkies is time

suming and difficult when everyment matters.

Location tracking of people,equipment, or goods providesbetter visibility and enhances plantsafety. Emerson’s Smart Wirelesssolution for location tracking usesreceivers, annunciators, and RFIDtags to accurately monitor peopleand asset locations. The solutionintegrates Wi-Fi, chokepoint, andRFID technologies in a singlenetwork infrastructure to addressdifferent location tracking needs.

Specified Area LocationChokepoints within specified areasof the plant are monitored usingRFID annunciators. Operatorsviewing an onscreen dashboard of the site can see which area a personor asset is located in. Chokepointtechnology provides instant andaccurate alerts of movement fromone area to another, includinghazardous or restricted areas.

General Area LocationReceived Signal Strength Indication(RSSI) within a general area Wi-Fimesh infrastructure enables personnelor asset location estimation within a

general area. Location information isdisplayed to central control roomoperators, allowing them to locate aspecific asset or direct the nearestperson to a plant anomaly ormaintenance situation.

General area Wi-Fi coverage alsoenables Distress Alerting. PersonalRFID tags equipped with a panicbutton can send an immediate alert tothe control room along with real-timelocation of the person in distress.

Precision LocationTime Delay of Arrival (TDOA)receivers within a pervasive Wi-Fimesh network accurately pinpointpeople or asset whereaboutsthrough RFID tag signals moreprecisely.

With a pervasive TDOA locationtracking solution, Injury Alerting ispossible. If a person is not in motionfor a pre-determined amount of time the personnel tracking systemcan immediately alert the controlcenter of the problem so thatassistance can be sent quickly andefficiently.

The benefits of location tracking include:• Location of distressed or injured person• Location of assets and equipment• Workflow process enhancement• Determination of a workers “presence”• Enforcement of Authorized Area Restrictions

Event RecordingReports provide accurate musteringdata and event recording. You canautomatically view personnel statusas signed-in, mustered, or off-site.

Regulatory ComplianceA wireless safety mustering solutioncan reduce or eliminate finesresulting from poor performance inregulatory safety drills.

Is wireless reliable?Yes. Emerson’s Smart Wireless solutions use mesh technology that is self-organizing. The intelligent mesh protocol dynamically optimizes the best route to the wired network, mitigates interference and ensures high network capacity.

Is wireless secure?

Yes. Emerson’s Smart Wireless solutions go beyond the basic use of authentication and encryption toensure secure communications. Emerson provides “Defense in Depth” to secure your network against all known forms of wireless intrusion.

What is the difference between a wireless plant network and a wireless field network?Wireless field networks are focused on process applications like measurement or sensing, processcontrol and diagnostics. Wireless plant networks implement applications like video, mobile worker,and location tracking. Each have unique technical requirements. See pages 4-5 for more detail.

Can my wireless field and plant solutions coexist?Yes. Emerson’s Smart Wireless standards-based architecture addresses radio frequency interferencebetween wireless solutions by using mesh network technology and other proven methods to providehigh levels of communication reliability at both the field-network and plant-network levels. To see awhite paper on this topic, go to www.EmersonProcess.com/SmartWireless.

Are wireless field applications interoperable with wireless plant applications?Yes. Wireless field and plant networks are seamlessly joined together. The WirelessHART gateway communicates via well-known process industry Ethernet protocols such as Modbus TCP, OPC, HART TCP – all of which additionally support SSL protected communications. The wireless plant applicationsutilize IEEE standards-based protocols that share the same Wi-Fi network.

Is a site survey required? A site survey is not required for wireless field applications because they use self-organizingWirelessHART technology, making wireless signals immune to possible obstacles or barriers. However,a professional site assessment is critical to the successful implementation of wireless plant solution.

Emerson wireless experts offer a comprehensive site assessment.Can wireless solutions be deployed in a hazardous environment?Wireless field devices are ATEX Zone 0/Class 1 Div 1, and the Smart Wireless Gateway is ATEX Zone 2/ Class 1 Div 2.Wireless plant mesh access points are ATEX Zone 2/Class 1 Div 2. Solutions that require ATEX Zone 1/ Class 1 Div 1 mesh access points are available as an engineered solution.

Should I start with a wireless plant solution or with a wireless field application?Emerson’s Smart Wireless solutions allow you to start anywhere. Simply start with the wirelessapplication(s) you require. If you only need wireless field instrumentation for a specific process unit in your plant, you do not need to set up Wi-Fi coverage for plant network applications – and vice versa.
