Water Industry benefits from Industrial Wireless Solutions

• Reduce or eliminate altogether the wiring costs for remote locations. Many times, data gathering involves remote sites (e.g. wells, pumps, storage tanks) scattered over a large area and sometimes with no access to power. In that case the long-distance, high-penetration 900MHz Eurotherm/Action wireless solution can be very effective. These radios can be powered by solar panels and can be provided with NEMA 4x enclosures for protection.

• Quick and more accurate access to data for decision-makers. Having a wireless solution eliminates the need for manual data-reading and the associated delay required to send someone to read that data Basically the information is provides in almost in real-time, with a high degree of accuracy.

• Faster installation compared with wired solutions.  The time required to wire a couple monitoring points is much longer that the time required to install a WiModPak point-to-point wireless system (up to 16 I/O) Minimum software settings are necessary. WiModPak devices have built-in RSSI indicators (receiver signal strength indicator) for easy and proper installation.

• Easy to expand with minimal cost Our radio devices have built-in I/O's but also have modular construction and adding a couple I/O per node requires just adding an expansion module. (up to 6)

• Secure WiModPak offers a high level of encryption (256bit)

• Bus Communication capabilities WiModPak radios have Modbus/Profibus compatibility for easy integration with higher level monitoring and control systems if necessary.

• Improved life-span of monitored assets through better maintenance scheduling Wireless devices can be used to monitor and quickly detect equipment (e.g. pumps) malfunctions and initiate a shut-down procedure, therefore preventing complete and costly damage.
