Control Ready
The Benefits of Using ISA100 Wireless
for Control
Improved Reliability
– Troublesome wired sensors replaced by wireless counterparts.
– Wireless may serve as a backup for wired technology.Improved Control
– If it's impossible to deploy additional wired devices, add wireless devices to existing processes and applications for more optimal control.
Cost Savings
– Up to 90% of installed cost of conventional wired measurement technology can be for cable conduit and related construction, so wireless technology can create significant cost savings
– New and existing applications are now economically feasible which without wireless technology would be economically impossible.
Many Wireless Protocols cannot meet the demands of control applications. ISA100 Wireless can.
