A family of products for WirelessHart communication

| By Chemical Engineering

Siemens Industry Automation

For the first time, this firm has developed products for WirelessHart communication. The new product family comprises two transmitters, a gateway to Industrial Ethernet and software, as well as an adapter for process instruments in preparation. Both the new Sitrans P280 pressure transmitter and the Sitrans TF280 temperature transmitter (photo) feature a WirelessHart interface and a graphical display with backlight function. All other process instruments from this firm that do not have WirelessHart interfaces can be integrated into WirelessHart communication with the Sitrans AW200 adapter. Finally, the new IE/WSN-PA Link gateway manages the WirelessHart network with all the nodes and establishes the connection to the Simatic-based automation and control system via Industrial Ethernet. — Siemens Industry Automation Division, Nuremberg, Germany
