Project Challenges
Hexion needed to upgrade it's smoke detection system.
The smoke warning system included a manual telephone call to the Hexion warehouse as the only way to pass on information.
Solution
8 ISA100 Wireless transmitters were installed at the smoke reporting units. These transmitters send their data to a central base radio, placed in a high position in the neighborhood control room. From there data is sent to the Distributed control system via wire.
Each transmitter can send signals 600 to 800 meters. Repeaters can be added to traverse greater distances, even up to several kilometers
A star network configuration was used, with a frequency of 886 MHz and a bandwidth of 5 MHz. This is enough for 15-18 transmitters.
Benefit
Wireless transmitters installed at less than one-third of the original estimated cost.
Reliable, immediate, and accurate data helped meet and maintain regulatory requirements.
Easy access to multiple warehouse data and improved reporting and communication to the central control room for improved safety and performance.
Reduced operational and maintenance costs.
