Emerson's Field Starter Kit Includes Wireless Enabling Devices
March 11, 2010
Flexible kit now features the Smart Wireless THUM Adapter and wireless position monitors to deliver once-stranded process and diagnostics data from instruments and valves
Emerson Process Management has expanded its configurable Smart Wireless Field Starter Kit to include the Smart Wireless THUM Adapter and Wireless Position Monitors. These WirelessHART devices convert wired HART instruments and valves into wireless ones.
The THUM Adapter retrofits on any existing two- or four-wire HART device. Emerson’s Wireless Position Monitors use non-contact technology to detect linear and rotary movement on many types of equipment, including valves, sliding stem regulators, displacement and float level sensors, and relief valves. They provide percent-of-span feedback, similar to a position transmitter, and on/off or open/closed feedback using two limit switches. The wireless position monitors can also monitor device temperature.
