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 ¨ 1 Using PCs for Machine Condition Monitoring, Plant Engineering December 6, 2004

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

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 Primary Master Station Ethernet Serial Repeater Secondary Master Station Master Server Slave 12 Remote Pump Stations (serial PLCs) Secondary Master Station

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 Overhead Cranes Crane 1 Crane 2 Crane 3 • Cranes travel over 500 feet • Lots of obstructions (steel) • High EMI/RFI Control Room and Plant Floor

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