Self-powered temperature transmitter
24 September 2013
ABB has developed a standalone, self-powered temperature transmitter with WirelessHART, offering a cost effective and maintenance-free alternative to wired or battery-powered devices.
Wireless instruments offer the ideal solution wherever it may be costly or impractical to run cabling. Battery-powered WirelessHART technology allows for quick and simple instrument installation to allow operators to monitor new process information to improve plant visibility.
However, the battery will eventually need replacing, incurring time
and cost. Battery life can be prolonged but only by slowing down the
data transfer rate, affecting the instrument's response time. These
challenges are overcome by ABB's self-powered temperature transmitter.
