NAIT and Spartan Controls continue their partnership investment with the next generation of instrumentation – wireless!
As part of its sponsorship of the Edmonton campus, Spartan Controls has installed the following state-of-the-art equipment:
Rosemount 648 Wireless Temperature Transmitters
- Installation-ready single point measurement solution
- Transmitter-Sensor Matching improves measurement accuracy by 75%
- Integral LCD displays primary sensor and diagnostic information
- Self-organizing network delivers information rich data with >99% data reliability
- WirelessHART capabilities extend the full benefits of PlantWeb to previously inaccessible locations
1420 Smart Wireless Gateways
- The Smart Wireless Gateway connects WirelessHART self-organizing networks with host systems and data applications.
- Modbus communications over RS-485 or Ethernet provide universal integration and system interoperability.
- The optional OPC functionality from the Gateway offers a means to connect to newer systems and applications while providing a richer set of data.
- Provides industry leading security, scalability, and data reliability.
- Layered security ensures that the network stays protected.
- Additional devices can be added at anytime.
- There is no need to configure communication paths because the Gateway manages the network automatically. This feature also ensures that WirelessHART field devices have the most reliable path to send data.
The NAIT Spartan Centre for Instrumentation Technology provides students and industry with leading-edge process control technology education and experience. Together, Spartan and NAIT can provide industry with graduates who are familiar and comfortable with applying and supporting state-of-the-art process control and instrumentation. For project investments, this means lower capital costs, improved performance to budgets and schedules, and smoother installation and commissioning. Operationally, this also means lower maintenance costs, more effective leverage of technology, and a leadership position for Alberta in hydrocarbon and other process industries.
