Industrial Wireless Communications - Think About Where You Can Use It
Wireless communications applications with beneficial impact are everywhere, Imaginative thinking is needed. |
In a simplified fashion, here is how you do it.
- Identify what you want to measure. Typical examples include temperature, pressure, contact closure, or anything else for which a sensing or detecting device is available.
- Find the device most suited for your measurement. It will be convenient to use a device providing a commonly used output signal. Examples include 4-20 ma, 0-5 VDC, and others.
- Select the communications band that best suits your application. Short distances, up to several miles, often use 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz. You can also use the cellular network or one of several satellite networks for extended coverage.
- Select a compatible transmitter, like those from Analynk, to convert the sensor output signal into digital form and transmit it across the network.
- Select a compatible receiver, also available from Analynk, to receive the transmitted signal and convert it back into the original signal form. This output signal will connect to your control or monitoring equipment.
- If you need to send a responding control signal back to the remote location, follow the same plan with the transmission and receiving equipment reversed.
The first time you do it, there will be some things to learn, progress may be a little slow. Once your first attempt is completed, you will understand what needs to be done and further implementation will proceed quickly. There are uncountable applications for this technology that can enable your organization to increase effectiveness, broaden the scope of your operation or service offering, and build a more efficient process. Data points that were previously out of reach are now accessible in real time. Knowing the capabilities of industrial wireless will enable you to recognize useful applications throughout your organization.
You can always contact the specialists at Analynk Wireless to discuss your potential applications. They will help you meet application challenges and get connected.
Connecting With Remote Oil Field Installations
Wireless communications can connect remote oil field equipment monitoring to a central control point |
Like all raw materials derived from the Earth, oil is often discovered in very remote areas with no transportation, communication, or other infrastructure nearby. It is common for producing wells to operate unattended, which saves cost and increases operational risk due to failure or malfunction that may occur on the site. Maintaining efficient and safe operation at the site is not a luxury, but a necessity. Delivering real time data from remote sites to monitoring and decision making centers is crucial to achieving profitable and safe operation at remote sites.
Analynk manufactures transmission and receiving equipment that builds the bridge between remote sites and the home office. From elemental componentry to integrated, ready to run systems, Analynk specializes in wireless communications for industrial process control. Contact us with your wireless challenges. Whether an expansive multipoint, or a single point application, the specialists at Analynk can combine standard or customized products into a practical solution for you.
Outlook for 2016

Installing Wireless Access Point in Hazardous Area

For a number of reasons, it may be advantageous for the wireless network gear in the process section of a facility to conform to certain standards established for the larger scope of the organization. There can be real benefits to standardizing on particular brands or types of hardware. The tasks involved with back end management of network infrastructure are less complex when all the equipment is of the same vendor and product family. Provisioning, which includes initial setup, long term management, and unit loss management, is simplified when all the units are the same. Process engineers and operators pursue the same goal in standardizing on particular transmitters, valves, or other components that have multiple installations throughout a facility.
Analynk Wireless Access Point Enclosure for Hazardous Locations |
Analynk manufactures enclosures for industrial wireless access points installed in hazardous locations. The current offering accommodates a range of units from Symbol, Cisco, Meru, Aruba, HP, and Motorola, with more models added regularly to accommodate additional wireless access points. Each access point enclosure is provided with UL listed explosion proof antennas, a mounting bracket designed for the target access point, and RF cables to make the antenna connections. Enclosures have penetrations specifically located to accommodate the target access point.
This arrangement allows for the deployment of the organization's preferred wireless access point in the hazardous process area.Analynk Wireless specializes in industrial wireless communications.

Wireless communication for industrial applications is well beyond the point of early technology adoption. Protocols are in place, products for the transmitting and receiving of wireless process signals are mature. As a designer, engineer, manager, or operator of a process, you should confidently consider wireless connections between measurement and control or recording devices as part of any new installation or upgrading of existing facilities.
Regardless of what I have just written, sometimes we just need to see things work before we can make the leap of adoption. New ways of doing things bring the promise of reward, but also the concern of the unfamiliar.
Analynk has a solution for you.Analynk's wireless demo kit includes a model A750 receiver and A753 transmitter both housed in NEMA 4 enclosures. The kit operates at 900 MHz with full 1W power. Locate the transmitter and receiver at points where you wish to establish a wireless connection. You can provide your own input signal, or use the provided simulator to show that a wireless connection can be established and function in a manner that will give you confidence to move forward with implementation. The kit is useful for testing out possible new locations for distance and signal strength. You will use it as wireless communications expand through your facility. Test the location first, then order the needed wireless equipment. It's a solid and low risk solution.
