June 2020, Industrial Wireless

The Instrument Area Network (IAN) has been developed by Schneider Electric as a cost-efficient and flexible industrial wireless network as an alternative to more costly systems. Bluetooth communication between the field sensors and data collectors saves battery life and makes the network flexible and easy to install, giving users a cost-effective solution.

How it works

The IAN system consists of wireless field sensors for measuring absolute and relative pressure, differential pressure and temperature. These measurements can be linked via Bluetooth to the central collectors. These collectors collect the measurement data from a maximum of 8 wireless field sensors and send them via WirelessHART to any system.

By choosing Bluetooth between the field sensors and collectors, the batteries of the field sensors last longer than with a complete WirelessHART system. Local configuration is also easier to do with an app for a phone or tablet, using Wi-Fi. This makes Schneider Electric’s Instrument Area Network a cost-effective, user-friendly and flexible wireless system.

Differential pressure measurement: the WDP10 differential pressure sensors measure the differential pressure of various industrial processes and then transmits the PV wirelessly via Bluetooth to a central collector (WCC10). This sends the values from multiple sensors via WirelessHART to any central system. There are versions with differential pressure ranges up to 500 mbar, 2,1 bar or 21 bar. The field sensors are explosion-proof and have ATEX certification.

Gauge pressure measurement: the WAP10 absolute or gauge pressure sensors measure the pressure of various industrial processes and transmit them wirelessly to a central collector (WCC10). This sends the values from multiple sensors via WirelessHART to any central system. There are versions with pressure ranges up to 2,1 bar. The field sensors are explosion-proof with ATEX certification.

Temperature measurement: there are RTD and thermocouple versions from -200°C to 885°C, with various insertion lengths between 50 and 400 mm. Optionally, thermowells in various lengths can be supplied. The field sensors are explosion-proof according to ATEX

Schneider Electric enhances predictive asset analytics software with embedded alert management workflow to better prioritize actions and events when monitoring a large fleet of industrial assets

LAKE FOREST, Calif. – Oct 13, 2015 – Schneider Electric Software, a global leader in industrial software and part of Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management and automation, recently released the newest version of its Avantis® PRiSM software. Avantis PRiSM 2.8 includes a new alert management workflow feature that makes review, categorization and management of alerts more efficient. The product release also features enhancements to the PRiSM architecture that better enable and secure PRiSM for cloud applications.

“PRiSM’s new alert management workflow functions are key for a truly scalable and comprehensive monitoring program in fleet-wide implementations with a large number of assets,” said Bill Bielke, Avantis PRiSM product manager at Schneider Electric. “Users need to easily identify and differentiate between new, ongoing, and worsening anomalous conditions. Our alert management workflow streamlines this process, allowing engineers and analysts to focus their time on the alerts and events that could have a significant impact on equipment reliability and operations.”
PRiSM uses a proprietary algorithm, machine learning and advanced pattern recognition to identify and alert on subtle changes in equipment behavior for early warning notification and diagnosis of asset health and performance problems. The software has the proven ability to alert plant personnel of asset failures days, weeks or months before problems occur, leading to increased equipment reliability and reduced unplanned downtime.
Avantis PRiSM predictive asset analytics software is part of Schneider Electric’s expanding software business for power, oil and gas, mining and other process industries.
