Discrete transmitter added to wireless
products
A wireless discrete transmitter installs and commissions quickly, and delivers previously unavailable data for improved plant performance and safety.
Emerson Process Management has released its Rosemount 702 Discrete Wireless Transmitter as an addition to its Smart Wireless solutions family Emerson said that owing to the high cost of wiring, most process plants have hundreds or even thousands of discrete points that are not connected to the control system

Machinery health management saves EUR 10,000
Machinery health analysers reduce costs by minimising unexpected plant shutdowns and extending scheduled maintenance periods and saved EUR 10,000 on one incident for a user.
So many users do not have access to valuable data about the performance and safety of their plant.
The Rosemount 702 Discrete Wireless Transmitter installs and commissions quickly, and provides users with a cost-effective way to access this information, said Emerson.
Applications include level and environmental spill prevention, personnel safety and plant equipment status.
The 702 supports a variety of non-powered switch types, with single or dual channel capacity and is hazardous area approved.
Fully compatible with existing Smart Wireless networks, the Rosemount 702 provides the same rich HART diagnostic data, 7-15 year SmartPower battery life, and reliable and secure performance similar to other devices in the Smart Wireless family.
Emerson's Smart Wireless solution is an extension of the PlantWeb digital plant architecture, combining highly reliable, smart monitoring devices with wireless transmitters in an innovative self-organising mesh network that automatically adapts as device points are added or removed, or obstructions encountered.
Emerson told manufacturingtalk that the network, which uses Time Synchronised Mesh Protocol (TSMP) technology, has been extensively tested in real-world environments.
Rosemount 702 Discrete Wireless Transmitters are part of Emerson's broad range of intelligent, digital field devices that power the PlantWeb architecture to improve plant efficiency by 2% and more through delivering asset optimisation, process automation, and management execution.
