WirelessHART™ IEC 62591 RTU Interface
The WirelessHART RTU Interface is an integrated wireless solution that transforms the way operations are managed. It integrates easily with our ControlWave models to address the needs of the upstream and midstream oil and gas markets. The wireless interface module allows instrument data to be directly integrated with the RTU database and control logic. Configuration is seamless and occurs without the need to map data between the RTU and the wireless gateway.
Product Features:
- Eliminate gateway mapping for faster startup and lower installation costs. No trenching, conduit, or cabling required.
- Enhanced visibility and process knowledge of your field eliminating unnecessary trips and minimizing time spent at remote sites
- Implement encryption, authentication, verification, anti-jamming and key management methods to ensure that data transmissions are secure
- Optimized for low power environment, minimizing additional power infrastructure investments
- Improved safety, increased reliability, and enhanced operating performance
