Adapters and edge devices make the potential of digital data from field devices accessible in existing plants

Link to the cloud Edge devices are literally at the boundary between the field and the cloud. They regulate the transfer of field data to the digital services. With the FieldEdge SGC200 edge device, Endress+Hauser offers a cost-effective and compact device that collects data via Bluetooth® and then transfers it to the cloud via the mobile network. The FieldEdge SGC500 edge device was developed for industrial use. It enables simple connection of industrial plant field devices to the cloud. At regular intervals, it requests data from the field devices and transfers it to the digital services via encrypted communication.

In the latest generation of process plants, Industry 4.0 concepts can be implemented relatively easily. When digitalizing existing or brownfield plants, on the other hand, the challenge is to ensure the connectivity of data from the field devices. That's because, for the successful digitalization of plants, the connectivity of the data suppliers – the sensors and actuators – is the key element. The solution: Additional digital data from field level is transferred via a second communication channel, simultaneously with the transfer of measured data. This means even existing plants can be made Industry 4.0-capable with little effort. Simultaneous data transfer Our measuring devices already have countless digital interfaces, such as 4–20 mA HART, PROFIBUS and PROFINET. Many sensors are also available with Bluetooth® and WiFi interfaces. With the new FieldPort SWA50 adapter, existing 4–20 mA sensors can be connected based on the "Namur Open Architecture" (NOA) concept without placing any strain on existing communication channels or interfering in the system architecture. Our portfolio is supplemented with edge devices and gateways. Thanks to data transfer via a second communication channel, there is no longer anything standing in the way of the digitalization of brownfield plants. Simple adapter solution The new, NOA-compliant FieldPort SWA50 adapter brings existing measuring technology in analog networks quickly and cost-effectively into the cloud via gateways and edge devices. The wireless adapter connects existing 4–20 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 transferred to the cloud simultaneously with the measured values – even those from third party manufacturers. Via the smartphone app, users can gain immediate access to measurement and diagnostic parameters.
