Connectivity is created with an adapter and edge device

Simultaneous data transmission Our measuring devices already have numerous digital interfaces, e.g. 4 to 20 mA HART, PROFIBUS and PROFINET. Many sensors are also available with Bluetooth® and WiFi interfaces. With the new FieldPort SWA50 adapter, existing 4 to 20 mA sensors can be connected in accordance with the Namur Open Architecture (NOA) concept without placing any strain on existing communication channels or interfering with the system architecture. Our portfolio is supplemented with edge devices and gateways. Simple adapter solution The new NOA-compliant FieldPort SWA50 adapter brings existing metrology equipment in analog networks quickly and cost-effectively into the cloud via gateways and edge devices. The wireless adapter connects existing 4 to 20 mA HART field devices to digital services easily by converting all HART signals into wireless signals. Either via Bluetooth® or WirelessHART, all HART signals from field devices can be transmitted to the cloud in parallel to the measured value – even those from third-party manufacturers.

Highlights • Digitalization of existing and brownfield systems • Connection without interfering with existing system architectures • Data transmission via second communication channel • Simple transmission of analog signals thanks to adapter solution • Immediate access to measurement and diagnostic parameters via mobile devices Application Industry 4.0 concepts can be implemented comparatively easily in the latest generation of process plants. In the digitalization of existing or brownfield plants, however, the challenge is to ensure connectivity of data from field devices. This is because, for the successful digitalization of plants, the connectivity of the data suppliers is the key element. The solution: transmission of additional digital data from the field level in parallel to the measured data via a second communication channel.

Our range of system components can be found on p. 70 onwards.
