 MARIETTA, GA – 07/2010
-
Siemens Industry has announced the
U.S. introduction of a new family of WirelessHART products for
wireless communication, including two new transmitters, the Sitrans
P280 and the Sitrans TF280. The Sitrans P280 transmitter for pressure
measurement and the Sitrans TF280 transmitter for temperature have
a WirelessHART interface as well as a graphical display with backlight
functions and are easy to operate via push buttons. An integrated
battery supplies the transmitters with power for up to five years, with a display that shows the exact number of
remaining days.
Additionally, all other Siemens process instruments without WirelessHart interfaces can be integrated into
WirelessHART communication with the new Sitrans AW200 adapter. The Sitrans AW200 adapter has an
integrated battery, which can also power a connected process instrument. If an external power supply is used,
up to four conventional process instruments can be connected to the WirelessHART adapter simultaneously.
The new IE/WSN-PA LINK gateway manages the WirelessHART network with all its nodes, and it establishes
the connection to the Simatic-based automation and control systems via Industrial Ethernet. The gateway is
easy to configure via the integrated Web interface.
The new transmitters and the adapter are commissioned and serviced using Simatic PDM (Process Device
Manager), which provides a simple, graphical and interactive setup. Additionally, with Sitrans MDS
(Maintenance Diagnostic Station) software, diagnostics data can be displayed transparently in a maintenance
station. The new WirelessHART product family was developed through collaboration by Siemens with the
HART Communication Foundation (HCF).
The new WirelessHART components are an integral element of the entire Industrial Wireless Communication
portfolio from Siemens, available for a wide variety of sectors and covering a diverse range of industrial
requirements regarding bandwidths, power consumption, safety and security, availability, distances to be
covered and speed.
