TECHNICAL FACTS WIRELESS Ten Years of Helping Customers Profit from Wireless Technology Based on standard Ethernet technology, HIMA’s SafeEthernet protocol has a successful 10-year track record for use in transmitting data over conventional SIL 3-compliant wireless technology that conforms to the SIL 3 safety standard. While numerous customer references underscore the reliability of wireless in data transmission, is it right for your application? Can it be cost-effective and not compromise safety? HIMA is ready with the technology and expertise to help you apply the advantages of wireless in appropriate applications – safely, cost-effectively, and securely. In many cases, the HIMA safety system and wireless technology make significant cost savings possible: Potential • Connections to additional measurement points • Overcomes geographic hindrances such as rivers and railways • Temporary installations are now feasible • Mobile installations are now feasible • Enables cost-effective linking of fill level, temperature, pressure, flow rate and other parameters in hard-to-reach applications such as fuel depots Benefits • Replaces trailing cables and other costly specialized cables • Utilizes the diagnostic potential Mobile installations in sewage treatment plants Large fuel depots Connections both onshore and offshore Remote pipeline stations of field devices • Cost-effective installations • Fast start for operations • Rapid

TECHNICAL FACTS WIRELESS Widely accepted in factory automation, wireless solutions are predicted to become well established in the processing industry by the year 2020. Wireless will not replace classic field cables, but will be used in settings where traditional cables are difficult to place. Enabling this transition is the wide acceptance of wireless HART and ISA 100.11a specifications for non-safe applications. Technical Requirements HIMA always finds a suitable solution for: • Reliability • Interoperability • Simple operation • Robustness • Access protection • Electro-magnetic tolerance •...
