The launch of full redundancy for Smart Wireless monitoring

| By Chemical Engineering

Available with the DeltaV S-series digital automation system, full redundancy (photo) protects the wireless network from any single point of failure by allowing primary failover to ensure that data are always delivered, even if there is a malfunction. The enhancements include redundant wireless I/O, power and communications and a redundant Smart Wireless Remote Link. The Remote Link can be mounted in class 1/Div. 1/Zone 0; it easily links the wireless field network into a DeltaV system, which makes an optimized PID available for wireless control. The new full redundancy increases the strength of Smart Wireless technology as a complement to wired and bus approaches of capital projects. — Emerson Process Management, Baar, Switzerland
