  9. Efficient:Reliable and Available • Do you have existing wireless in your plant; what frequencies are being used? • Can the new system co-exist with existing wireless in your plant? • How close are you to potential interferences and communities? • Choose a network that supports co-existence and conserves limited spectrum. • Partner with a professional who can assess your site and design a reliable system specific to your site • Antenna selection is important; select a radio that’s highest allowable for your area. Assess any New System in Context of your Plant-wide Environment and Requirements

  10. DCS Efficient:Reliable and Available • Can the new system handle multiple hardware failures with no degradation in performance? • What are your uptime and availability requirements? • Ensure redundant paths using self organizing mesh functionality • Powered mesh infrastructure provides a fast mesh reformation, in seconds, with no loss of performance Start with a Wireless Assessment for an Efficient Network Design

  11. Top Considerations……For Selecting Your Industrial Wireless Solution • Think of the Future: Imagine the Possibilities • Efficient • Reliable and Available • Secure • Scalable • Simple • Usable and Simple • Power Management • Universal • Application and Protocol Support • Choice It’s About Choosing the Right Network

  12. Efficient: Secure • Is your facility close to townships or communities? • Do you want to manage just one wireless security system or many? • Can you design and implement the security yourself? • Consider how you will be using the network now and in the future • Choose a network with end-to-end security that addresses all risk scenarios. • Consider a provider that will evaluate your risks and help design and implement a solution if desired • Choose a security paradigm that is easy to maintain Partner with a Proven Wireless Security Expert

  13. Simple: End-to-End Integrated Security • Confidentiality • Replay protection • Source authentication • Resistance to denial-of-service attacks • Convenient key management • “2 step” commissioning Passive listener Rogue Devices Man-in-Middle DNS Attacker

  14. Top Considerations……For Selecting Your Industrial Wireless Solution • Think of the Future: Imagine the Possibilities • Efficient • Reliable and Available • Secure • Scalable • Simple • Usable and Simple • Power Management • Universal • Application and Protocol Support • Choice It’s About Choosing the Right Network

  15. Efficient: Scalable • What applications will be used now and in the future? • How many devices will you need? • Will that be enough for the lifetime of your plant? • Consider the plant lifetime in your design process – anticipate technology innovation enabling more devices in unexpected areas Evaluate The Wireless Network’s Ability To Expand To Meet Your Future Goals

  16. Efficient: Scalable • What happens when you go beyond the limit of your network capacity? Can the network start small & grow? • Will more devices degrade the network performance? • Research and select a system that meets your current expectations but can scale to meet unanticipated needs • Expect to double • Avoid a rip-and-replace strategy to protect investment in training, security, and infrastructure. Plan for Expansion Beyond What you Know Today

  17. Top Considerations……For Selecting your Industrial Wireless Solution • Think of the Future: Imagine the Possibilities • Efficient • Reliable and Available • Secure • Scalable • Simple • Usable and Simple • Power Management • Universal • Application and Protocol Support • Choice It’s About Choosing the Right Network

  18. Simple • Is your workforce familiar with wireless technology? • Can you afford to hire new employees to install, maintain, and expand your network? • Ensure your network can integrate with your wired networks with a simple and secure structure • Minimize software suites • Consider all plant needs to standardize on hardware and software • Evaluate a convenient security and authentication key management without sacrificing security. • Choose a provider that can help train, install, support, and maintain your solution. Don’t Assume that All Wireless Solutions are Simple

  19. Top Considerations……For Selecting Your Industrial Wireless Solution • Think of the Future: Imagine the Possibilities • Efficient • Reliable and Available • Secure • Scalable • Simple • Usable and Simple • Power Management • Universal • Application and Protocol Support • Choice It’s About Choosing the Right Network

  20. Simple: Power Management • How long do you want your devices to be self powered? • Will your reporting rate needs be sustainable with self contained power, or will the device require an add-on power source? • Look for a system with deterministic power consumption to ensure predictable maintenance. • Look for power management that fits both your alerting requirements and your battery replacement goals. Consider Your Reporting Rate Requirements

  21. Simple: Power Management • Will your environment support add-on power sources, i.e. solar? • What level of predictable maintenance schedule do you require? • Are you willing to accept proprietary batteries? • Look for a system with deterministic power consumption to ensure predictable maintenance. • Look for power management that fits both your alerting requirements and your battery replacement goals. Simplicity Lowers Your Total Cost of Ownership

  22. Top Considerations……For Selecting Your Industrial Wireless Solution • Think of the Future: Imagine the Possibilities • Efficient • Reliable and Available • Secure • Scalable • Simple • Usable and Simple • Power Management • Universal • Application and Protocol Support • Choice It’s About Choosing the Right Network

  23. Universal:Application and Protocol Support Which applications will you use over the wireless network in the future? • Keep it simple – a single network reduces risk and support costs What communication protocols will those apps require? Will you need these protocols running simultaneously? • Consider a system that is open, standards-based, and upgradeable to ensure future viability Be Certain that Your Wireless Network Can Support all Your Wireless Needs

  24. Universal:Application and Protocol Support Can you afford to have your alarms and alerts transmitted back at the same rate as monitoring information? • Research existing and pending regulations for alerting requirements • Safety shower requirements alarmed and logged within 5-10 seconds • Sequence of events time stamping requirements • Choose a solution provider that understands industrial requirements for integrating to control systems. Drive to One Network for Simplicity and Efficiency

  25.

  26. Universal:Choice • Will you need one global solution? • Will you want to use multiple vendor devices on the same wireless network? • What level of flexibility do you need? • Will you have different applications requiring different radio requirements (bandwidth, GSM connectivity, long-haul)? • Does your network allow choices based on 802.11 standards for cost effective solutions. • Is it an open system that allows connection to any plant system and inherently transports existing protocols? Evaluate How Flexible Your Wireless Network Needs To Be

  27. Universal: Choice Choose • One infrastructure that supports multiple radios and frequencies • A solution with no barriers to future needs These Choices Exist Now; Choose a System Upgradeable to Open Standards and New Features

  28. Choosing a Wireless Network • Choose a solution that supports an open and flexible approach to wireless networking: • Efficient • Send data reliably and when needed • Meet all plant security requirements • Handle multiple types of devices from a few to thousands • Simple • Provide predictable power management • Universal • Handle multiple apps and protocols simultaneously 802.11 Wi-Fi Field protocols 900MHz 2.4/5.8GHz Plan for an industrial wireless network that can solve today's problems and meet your needs on the horizon. . . .
