Industrial Wireless Networks
Seamlessly integrate and expand networks with self-organizing, secure and reliable wireless technology.
Emerson’s wireless infrastructure and wireless instrumentation can dramatically impact plant operations by vastly improving your visibility across your facility. These solutions seamlessly integrate wireless technologies with existing wired networks to provide a complete and open-standard network. Digitally transform your facility with wireless architecture that is secure, reliable, easy-to-use, and engineered to improve workforce productivity and plant management.
The Emerson Wireless Gateway portfolio provides users customizable networks and flexible installation options when creating a wireless field network to fit the needs of the application and site requirements including:
Emerson™ SmartPower™ Modules offer best-in-class, versatile power solutions for your Emerson devices. With up to 10 years of predictable power life, SmartPower Modules are intrinsically safe and robust, allowing for routine maintenance in hazardous areas. These Modules include short circuit protection and keyed connections for easy and fail-safe replacement. Emerson’s wide offering enables facilities to select power based on specific operational needs and industry requirements.
Continuously advancing network analytics allow for centralized monitoring of wireless networks across industrial facilities. The Plantweb™ Insight Network Management application offer strategic analysis that enables teams to prioritize maintenance and make informed decisions fast. Ensure adherence to network best practices with tools such as a network mesh diagram for a consolidated view of network health and diagnostics to quickly identify issues and areas for improvements.
Wireless solutions for plant operation applications include key components that all work together to deliver a secure, consistent and reliable wireless infrastructure scalable to fit any need from a single application through plant-wide implementation. Investing in the appropriate infrastructure is the foundation for digital transformation success.
Cisco’s DNA Center is the industry’s leading platform for wireless LAN planning, configuration, management and mobility services. Providing a cohesive wireless communications platform across the physical and functional areas of plant operations, enabling the shared network to support diverse applications. DNA Center also oversees wireless LAN controllers, which are responsible for network-wide wireless functions including security policies, intrusion prevention, RF management, QoS and mobility.
The modular design of the Emerson and Cisco Wireless Access Point provides users greater deployment flexibility. The Cisco Wi-Fi infrastructure can be implemented across a facility and easily integrate the Emerson WirelessHART Gateway at any time. The Cisco IW6300 has multiple powering options including AC, DC, PoE+ and UPoE, providing additional flexibility. Uplink connections include SFP, ethernet and wireless options.
The Emerson and Cisco Wireless Access Point brings together Wi-Fi and WirelessHART technology in a fully integrated solution. The Emerson 1410S Wireless Gateway mounts directly to the Cisco IW6300 Heavy Duty Access Point, creating a Class I, Div 2 (ATEX Zone 2) certified solution, delivering reliable and highly secure data, even in the harshest industrial environments.
Emerson and Cisco have partnered together to bring the next generation of wireless technology. Emerson’s 1410S Gateway sets the standard for WirelessHART infrastructure through increased device capacity, processing speeds and enhanced security features. Cisco’s IW6300 Heavy Duty Series Access Point provides 802.11 AC Wave 2 Wi-Fi technology that increases bandwidth and faster uplink speeds. Together, this integrated wireless infrastructure provides the backbone for Digital Transformation.
