Emerson Process Management has introduced the Smart Wireless gateway 1552WU, a Wi-Fi access point that connects WirelessHART sensors to the control network. The gateway enables a full featured wireless solution based on a single platform for both WirelessHART sensors and Wi-Fi applications, helping to lower costs and reduce deployment time.
Jointly developed as an integral part of Cisco’s IoT systems, the 1552WU is a fully-featured mesh access point that simplifies Wi-Fi and WirelessHART installations, lowers costs and reduces deployment time. Users no longer have to run fibre optic cables for Ethernet communication to every WirelessHART gateway. The 1552WU seamlessly connects to neighbouring access points allowing complete wireless coverage, with only local power wired to the gateway.
“Customers get the combined industry and technical expertise of Emerson and Cisco in a high-performing, secure, scalable gateway that safeguards data integrity,” said Alexandre Peixoto, industrial wireless manager, Emerson Process Management.
“We are pleased to continue our collaboration with Emerson,” stated Tony Shakib, vice president, IoE Vertical Solutions Engineering for Cisco. “By integrating Emerson’s WirelessHART Gateway with Cisco’s outdoor, hazardous location qualified access points, the 1552WU provides customers with the efficiency, scalability, and security of a single wireless network solution that can be utilised for multiple use-cases, including plant control, worker mobility, and safety. This solution extends to meet the demands from both Operational Technology and Information Technology, in industrial environments to realise the Internet of Things vision.”
The 1552WU is another example of how simplifying the installation with wireless technology enables customers to apply pervasive sensing strategies to improve plant performance and reliability. As obtaining data from hard to access locations becomes easier and more cost effective, process manufacturers are better able to address concerns such as corrosion, energy consumption, health and safety and the environment.
