Wireless Equipment
Wireless Mesh Access Point (MAP)
The MAPs deployed in your plant are Class I, Div 2 or
ATEX Zone 2 certified equipment. The Smart Wireless
Gateway is installed near the MAP with a wired Ethernet
connection. The MAP wirelessly connects the video
stream back to the plant network. The MAP’s IEEE
802.11n radio can also be enabled to give your field
personnel “hot spot” Wi-Fi access to your plant or office
network applications. The Root AP (RAP) connects the
wireless network to the wired one. The Smart Wireless
Gateway 1552WU can also be part of the Wireless
Remote Video Monitoring solution as compatible
equipment for the Wi-Fi infrastructure.
Managed Switch
The managed switch is the device which connects the
wireless network with the wired network. The wireless LAN
controller and wireless control system are also connected
through the managed switch.
Wireless LAN Controller
The wireless LAN controller is the device that is
responsible for network-wide wireless functions such as
security policies, intrusion prevention, RF management,
Quality of Service (QoS), and mobility.
Wireless Control System
The optional wireless control system allows network
managers to design, control, and monitor enterprise
wireless networks from a single location, simplifying
operations. It oversees a series of wireless LAN
controllers. This software provides network management
including diagnostics and troubleshooting tools to keep the
wireless network running smooth.
Certifications
Emerson can deploy Class 1 Div 2 or ATEX Zone 2
certified MAPs as a standard solution, or we can provide
Class 1 Div 1, ATEX Zone 1 MAPs as an engineered
project solution if required.
Class 1 Div 1 or 2 and ATEX Zone 1 or 2 cameras are
available.
Additional Wireless Plant Solutions
Field Data Backhaul.
Using the same Wi-Fi MAPs
for your video monitoring, Emerson can wirelessly
connect your remote Smart Wireless field instruments
back to your central control room.
Mobile Worker.
Depending on your needs,
Emerson can provide Wi-Fi access throughout your
process plant or just in specific locations to connect
field personnel with Wi-Fi enabled PDAs or laptops to
plant or office network applications.
Safety Mustering.
Instead of taking a time-
consuming role call in an emergency, a Safety
Mustering solution can electronically determine the
mustered status of all personnel in the process plant.
Location Tracking. Plant personnel or assets can be
tracked throughout the plant site with varying degrees
of accuracy depending on your site’s needs.
Emerson’s location tracking solution is flexible to
provide a good, better, or best capability depending
on your site’s needs and budget.
