Why Wireless What s s the Fuss? Wireless is NOT new technology <1% adoption of wireless in the process industries So, what s taken so long?? VERY special needs Security for process industry, security means safety Power reliable power is not where it s needed Standards communication and sensor compatibility Robustness confidence to enable new best practices Environment suitability for the harshest environments where obstructions can change daily These Problems Are Being Addressed 1973 Cell Phone
Best In Class Security Solution Addresses Customers Biggest Concern Threat to: Protection Network Devices Gateway Information System Encryption Authentication Verification Anti-jamming Key Management Validated with customers and wireless experts Self-Organizing Network Gateway Information Systems No TCP/IP messaging 128 bit encryption User definable key rotation Frequency hopping spread spectrum Ethernet: VPN, HTTPS - All other ports are closed Serial (RS485/232): Modbus Wired or Wireless Legacy Host
Self-Powered Devices Benefit from SmartPower Innovations Use Sparingly Power is Gold Unique power management capabilities to further minimize energy requirements There are always trade offs Start with Robust Low Power Sensors Advanced sensor electronics with ultralow power embedded radio for reliable communications Replenish Energy Energy harvesting techniques such as thermal, solar, and others are in trials Range Power Life Update Rate
Emerson Is Committed To Making Wireless Standards A Reality Safety Control Monitoring Class 0 : Emergency action (always critical) Class 1: Closed loop regulatory control (often critical) Class 2: Closed loop supervisory control (usually non-critical) Class 3: Open loop control (human in the loop) NOTE: Batch levels* 3 & 4 could be class 2, class 1 or even class 0, depending on function *Batch levels as defined by ISA S88; where L3 = "unit" and L4 = "process cell" Class 4: Alerting Short-term operational consequence (e.g., event-based maintenance) Class 5: Logging & downloading/uploading No immediate operational consequence (e.g., history collection, SOE, preventive maintenance) Importance of message timeliness increases SP-100 SP-100.11 SP-100.14 Phase II Phase I WIRELESS Wireless Defined Classes www.hartcomm.org www.isa.org

Wireless Offers Many Advantages Offshore Immediate advantages offered by Smart Wireless Inherent reduction in cabling infrastructure, complexity and weight Lower installation cost. simplified connection/disconnection when swapping out process modules instrumentation pre-configured on-shore, substantially reducing installation, commissioning and calibration timescales off-shore Lower CAPEX and lower OPEX Cost effective access to process information and plant diagnostics Improved worker health & safety - Wireless replaces conventional manual instruments Smart Asset Optimization Smart Control Systems Smart Measurement Smart Machinery Health Use wireless to increase process visibility & extend the benefits of Smart measurements
Customers Are Solving Real Plant Problems: StatoilHydro Grane Platform Application: Monitor wellhead annular pressure and heat exchanger pressures Smart Wireless delivered 100% reliability & stability in the crowded metal wellhead environment Easy integration of the wireless data into a third party system Customer identified operational improvements as a result of increased process visibility Smart Wireless solution eliminates the need for daily visits to the wellhead to manually record gauge readings Continuous monitoring enables unusual readings to be identified earlier We are delighted with the performance of the Emerson Smart Wireless network in these challenging conditions. Following a short training program, our instrument engineers are very confident about adding more wireless devices to our installation as required. These typically take around two hours to install compared with up to two days for a conventional wired unit. Herwin Geir Standaert Leon Vadheim, Instrument Lead, Grane Platform
StatoilHydro Grane Platform - Plan What? Unmanned oil & gas platform monitored and controlled by operators onshore Why? Reduce investment and operating costs of the platform How? Equip the platform with intelligent and reliable robotic and instrumentation systems that allow operators onshore to monitor and control the processes on the platform
StatoilHydro Grane Platform - Challenges Replacement per module in less than 24 Hrs, incl. start-up Safety and robustness for the replacement Barriers: Long cable trays and lots of wiring Commissioning offshore Limited construction time Limited documentation
StatoilHydro Grane Platform - Installation Connecting to the Gateway 1420: No distance troubles Only power and fibre TCP/IP connection for the gateway Easy Installation: Faster than expected hookup All devices live in minutes
Transmitters in the Wellhead Area 10 Pressure devices Initially 2 connected up to the gateway as host; 3 after self tuning of the network Latency in the system: 2-3 sec Refresh time set on 30 sec No line of sight between transmitters and gateway Daily radio communication in the area Antennas for online camera transmission in the area
Transmitters on Heat Exchangers 12 Transmitters installed Same latency as for the wellhead area Refresh time 30 sec One gateway was sufficient for both the wellhead and heat exchanger area Distances in the mesh network: 60 meters and up
The future
Emerson has more in the pipeline
