Product catalog summary
Overview of Wireless Communication

Area of Application: Wireless communication devices are essential for transferring measured values from remote monitoring stations or mobile tanks to data collection centers. They are particularly useful with the VEGA Inventory System for automatic inventory monitoring and enable wireless remote diagnostics and maintenance of connected sensors.

Principle of Operation: The system requires only a transmitting unit connected to sensors via a serial bus cable or a standard 4-20 mA/HART signal cable. This unit supplies voltage to the sensors, reads measured values, and transmits them via the local mobile network.

Advantages: The system offers simple operation using open and standardized frequency bands, high flexibility with network choice, and fast, maintenance-free setup with the VEGA service package.

PLICSMOBILE T61:

Application: This external GSM/GPRS radio unit is used for transmitting measured values and remote parameter adjustment of plics® sensors, suitable for mobile vessels and deep well measurements.

Benefits: Universal use with quadband technology, high user flexibility, and economical battery optimization.

Technical Data: Includes GSM/GPRS technology, PACTware/DTM adjustment, and various mounting options.

WirelessHART-Gateway:

Application: Acts as a gateway from WirelessHART networks to control systems, supporting up to 250 network participants with RS485 and Ethernet interfaces.

Benefits: Simplifies connection of existing devices to WirelessHART networks, ensuring investment security and easy retrofitting.

Technical Data: Includes supply voltage, power consumption, communication protocols, and mounting details.

WirelessHART-Adapter:

Application: Enables retrofitting of a WirelessHART interface for conventional 4-20 mA/HART sensors, simplifying connections in modern tank farms.

Benefits: Facilitates simple connection and retrofitting for existing devices.

Technical Data: Includes supply voltage, loop voltage, ambient temperature, and protection details.

WirelessHART Accessory:

Application: Provides a mounting set for WirelessHART adapters and batteries for retrofitting.

Benefits: Suitable for wall or tube mounting and compatible with all WirelessHART adapters.
