23. 23 | ISA Oct. 2008 | Ira Sharp | Interface | 10/21/2008 Application Wireless I/O (Long Distance)
Application
An analog signal needs to be collected from a remote pumping station. Which reports the level of the water tank.
Problem
Laying cable and conduit is simply to costly. The distance was 5200’ and cable must be run under two roads.
24. 24 | ISA Oct. 2008 | Ira Sharp | Interface | 10/21/2008 Application Long distance communications at 5200 feet
Wire in/ Wire out need
25. 25 | ISA Oct. 2008 | Ira Sharp | Interface | 10/21/2008 Application Wireless I/O (Short Distance)
Application
Collect data from various sensors located on machinery that will be used for predictive maintenance.
Problem
There is no easy way to wire sensors located on the machinery back to a PLC to be monitored. There are many obstructions and this is a high noise environment that does not lend well to parallel wiring.
26. 26 | ISA Oct. 2008 | Ira Sharp | Interface | 10/21/2008 ApplicationProprietary Wireless Solution Make a wired sensor, wireless
Wire in/ Wire out technology can make this happen today
Radios must be wired for power or solar powered
27. 27 | ISA Oct. 2008 | Ira Sharp | Interface | 10/21/2008 ApplicationWSN Solution Wired sensors can still be made wireless
The WSN radios will “Mesh” in small clusters
WSN radios are battery powered. No hard wiring needed.
WSN is made for short distances a Long Hall radio will be needed
28. 28 | ISA Oct. 2008 | Ira Sharp | Interface | 10/21/2008 Application Serial
Application
Tank levels must be monitored from a verity of tanks. This information must be collected by a PLC.
Problem
The tanks are spread over a vary large area and it is simply to costly to run cable and conduit to each location.
29. 29 | ISA Oct. 2008 | Ira Sharp | Interface | 10/21/2008 Application I/O is collected at each tank, reported to the radio, Then sent to the master PLC.
This can be more reliable then wired connections as there is no worry that a trenched cable will become damaged over time.
30. 30 | ISA Oct. 2008 | Ira Sharp | Interface | 10/21/2008 Application Ethernet
Application
An existing security system has become antiquated. This system needs updated and new cameras must be installed.
Problem
The locations where new cameras must be installed are to difficult or expensive to wire for connection.
31. 31 | ISA Oct. 2008 | Ira Sharp | Interface | 10/21/2008 Application Ethernet Cameras or Analog cameras processed with a video server can be connected to the Ethernet Radios
The video will be streamed to the master radio and can be archived or viewed at the master station
32. 32 | ISA Oct. 2008 | Ira Sharp | Interface | 10/21/2008 Application Serial and IO
Application
The contents of trucks transporting various materials needs to be monitored for temperature, quantity, and location for quality purposes.
Problem
The trucks transport these materials around the United States and Canada. Currently a PLC is used to monitor temperature and quantity of the material although this data can only be downloaded when the truck is parked at its destination.
33. 33 | ISA Oct. 2008 | Ira Sharp | Interface | 10/21/2008 ApplicationGSM/GPRS Data-loggers or PLCs are used to collect and archive data
GSM/GPRS modem will provide international access to the cellular network. This allows for monitoring of the truck and its contents.
34. 34 | ISA Oct. 2008 | Ira Sharp | Interface | 10/21/2008 ApplicationsDifferent applications have different requirements Things to consider
How far does the signal need to go?
Feet, Miles, Country, World
What is the density of the nodes?
Remote, Dense
What update times are required?
Days, Hours, Minuets, Seconds, Milliseconds
What type of data will be communicated?
I/O, Serial, Kbps, Mbps, Gbps
Is power available?
Hardwired, Battery, Solar
