As the mobile worker is becoming more popular, wireless protocol connectivity is increasingly important. Similarly, when devices are installed in hazardous locations, physical interaction with the device can be difficult. It takes time to obtain a hot work permit and increases potential risk of the operation. Even in non-hazardous areas, instrumentation can be located in hard to reach areas causing potential safety risks. In inclement weather, wireless connectivity enables users to interact with the device from a vehicle increasing safety and productivity.
Emerson has recently released the powerful Micro Motion 5700 transmitter with an option for configuration via a WiFi connection. The WiFi option turns the 5700 transmitter into an access point enabling easy connections with just an SSID and WPA2 password. Physical access is not required to make configuration changes, monitor processes, troubleshoot, extract data, run Emerson’s Smart Meter Verification software and generate reports.
