Why use wireless?

Reduces cost of cable installation1

Installation in a chemical plant: $50 per ft. Installation in nuclear power plant: $2,000 per ft.

Reduces installation time Eliminates trenching costs Saves time (money) for processes that

relocate Mining operations Drilling rigs

Why use wireless?

Eliminates leasing telephone lines No reoccurring monthly charges Saves $ Thousands per year Better reliability (no service calls)

Communicating to (very) remote sites No need for telephone service installation Productivity improves as remote process is part of plant

network Cost effective data monitoring (e.g. EPA regulations)

Major benefit for utilities and SCADA systems

Why use wireless?

Communication to equipment on moving platforms Cost effective and less maintenance than:

Slip rings, Cable reels, FestooningRails, Inductive tracks

All PLCs are part of plant network Excellent solution for condition monitoring

Wireless provides new ways to improve productivity

PLR580 Applications

Water/wastewater SCADA systems Petro-Chem production and distribution

Pipelines, offshore rigs, tank farms, etc.

Power generation and distribution Material handling (cranes, moving platforms) Remote PLC programming/diagnostics Remote supervision and monitoring

Why Diagnostics?

Primarily radio network analysis Radio network startup In-service troubleshooting Network benchmarking Network reconfiguration or tuning

Secondarily linkage for OPC clients Radio network event detection and alarming Correlate radio network and process events Historical / trend data archiving Predictive and preventative maintenance
