Get Process Data from Remote, Hostile Environments

The new Foxboro® Accutech line of wireless field instrumentation from Schneider Electric includes a complete range of self-powered level, flow, pressure, temperature, and control devices that communicate wirelessly with a centralized gateway. The Accutech line is ideal for cost-effective monitoring of processes in remote or harsh locations where the cost of wiring is prohibitive or power is unavailable. When linked to a local Accutech base radio, a local network of up to 100 field instruments can report continuous status data back to a centralized location for analysis. Individual Accutech field devices can transmit signals up to 3,000 feet (approx. 1,000 m), and can connect, configure, and communicate quickly using a 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz license-free spectrum. For instrument networks spanning larger areas, Accutech instruments can be optionally equipped with extended-reach Trio data radios that support 256-bit AES-data encryption.
