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.
