Technology – Spread Spectrum  Direct sequence (DSSS)  High data rates (54 Mbps+)  Low latency  technology  Short to medium range  Wide channels prone to crowding  Frequency hopping (FHSS)  Moderate data rates (.1 to 1Mbps)  More latency  Proprietary technologies  Long range (25+ miles)  Excellent interference immunity

Distance & Throughput Note: RF speed is higher than actual throughput speed.

Impact of RF Link Quality Degradation Note: Link quality can be degraded for many reasons including increasing RF noise or worsening LOS.

Why use wireless?  Reduces cost of cable installation 1  Installation in a chemical plant: $50 per ft.  Installation in nuclear power plant: $2,000 per ft.  Reduces installation time  Eliminates trenching costs  Saves time (money) for processes that relocate  Mining operations  Drilling rigs 1Using PCs for Machine Condition Monitoring, Plant Engineering December 6, 2004

Example: Power Generation Plant Wireless communication through cooling tower walls PLC 5 Vibration SensorEthernet Cooling tower wall Cooling Tower Fans Power Plant Control Room

Why use wireless?  Eliminates leasing telephone lines  No reoccurring monthly charges  Saves $ Thousands per year  Better reliability (no service calls)  Communicating to (very) remote sites  No need for telephone service installation  Productivity improves as remote process is part of plant network  Cost effective data monitoring (e.g. EPA regulations)  Major benefit for utilities and SCADA systems

Example: Victor Valley Water Utility Repeater Master Slave Server Slave 12 Remote Pump Stations (serial PLCs) Primary Master Station Secondary Master Station Ethernet Serial

Why use wireless?  Communication to equipment on moving platforms  Cost effective and less maintenance than:  Slip rings, Cable reels, Festooning  Rails, Inductive tracks  All PLCs are part of plant network  Excellent solution for condition monitoring  Wireless provides new ways to improve productivity

Example: Steel Mill Arc Furnace Control Room and Plant Floor Crane 1Crane 2Crane 3 Overhead Cranes Cranes travel over 500 feet Lots of obstructions (steel) High EMI/RFI

Why use wireless?  Portability  Plant network access where needed  Improves maintenance capabilities  Mobile HMI (e.g. MobileView)  Ideal for contractors (SIs) during start ups
