Case Study 1


A large chemical site fitted Crouse Hinds wireless units to its Emergency Showers to transmit activation alarms to the control center. If a lone plant operator or maintenance worker activates a shower because of chemical spillage, control center personnel are immediately alerted.
 
The Crouse Hinds wireless units are battery powered to reduce total install costs, and form part of a larger wireless information backbone throughout the plant. The complete wireless network integrates a multitude of independent process applications into one wireless network, with multiple data bus and field bus connections.

Case Study 2


A cement manufacturer use Crouse Hinds wireless units to monitor and control remote water supply pumps. The wireless units replaced an old underground cable which progressively failed over a 30 year period.
 
The wireless system connects the pump station PLC with the plant DCS via a wireless link. The same wireless system is used to connect PLC's in other parts of the plant with the main DCS.
