  27. Why use wireless? • Reduces cost of cable installation1 • Installation in a chemical plant: $50 per ft. • Installation in nuclear power plant: $2,000 per ft. • Reduces installation time • Eliminates trenching costs • Saves time (money) for processes that relocate • Mining operations • Drilling rigs 1Using PCs for Machine Condition Monitoring, Plant Engineering December 6, 2004

  28. Example: Power Generation Plant Cooling tower wall Ethernet Vibration Sensor PLC 5 Power Plant Control Room Cooling Tower Fans Wireless communication through cooling towerwalls

  29. Why use wireless? • Eliminates leasing telephone lines • No reoccurring monthly charges • Saves $ Thousands per year • Better reliability (no service calls) • Communicating to (very) remote sites • No need for telephone service installation • Productivity improves as remote process is part of plant network • Cost effective data monitoring (e.g. EPA regulations) • Major benefit for utilities and SCADA systems
