Emerson first to offer WirelessHART automation products

艾默生首家提供WirelessHART自动化产品

Austin, Texas. (March 14, 2008) – Emerson Process Management is the first process automation supplier to begin taking orders for WirelessHART enabled products, based on the recently approved open standard for in-plant wireless communications. These measurement and communications products are available as a core part of Emerson's Smart Wireless plant automation solutions portfolio.

奥斯汀3月14日消息——艾默生过程管理成为首家根据最近批准的在厂无线通信开放标准而开始接受具有WirelessHART功能产品订单的过程自动化供应商。这些测量和通信产品成为艾默生的智能无线工厂自动化解决方案产品组合的一个核心部分。

The WirelessHART standard specifies use of open wireless communications for process measurement and control applications. Emerson estimates the demand for wireless technology will exceed $1 billion by 2012.  

该WirelessHART标准规范使用了开放式无线通讯，用于过程测量和控制应用。艾默生估计对无线技术的需求到2012年将超过10亿美元。

"In my 39 years in Process Automation, I have never seen a technology with such compelling, immediate benefits," commented John Berra, president of Emerson Process Management. "Emerson customers proved these benefits with installations of our pre-standard products. The WirelessHART standard opens the door to confident and broad implementation of wireless throughout the industry."

艾默生过程管理总裁John Berra评论道：“在我39年的过程自动化生涯里，我从没见过可以带来如此巨大直接利益的技术。通过安装我们的预标准产品，艾默生的客户证明了这些利益。WirelessHART标准为整个行业的无线广泛实施打开了大门。”

"We are pleased to be the first and invite all suppliers and end users to join us as we enter into this new era of process automation," continued Berra.  "Wireless simply means a better way to put more eyes and ears in the plant, to enable the plant to run better, safer, and greener. This is a truly wonderful day."

Berra继续道：“我们很高兴能成为第一家，并邀请所有的供应商和终端用户能够加入我们，因为我们进入了一个过程自动化的新时代。无线简单地说就是更好地把更多的精力放在工厂的一个方法，使工厂运行得更好、更安全、更环保。这是真正美好的一天。“

Emerson's Smart Wireless range of pressure, flow, level, temperature, and vibration transmitters and gateways are available with WirelessHART standard communications, as is AMS Suite predictive maintenance software and 375 field communicator.  The continuous stream of future new products from Emerson will also use the standard, including the pH transmitter, discrete transmitter, valve position transmitter, the Smart Wireless THUM Communicator to unleash stranded diagnostics in legacy devices, and the DeltaV native wireless interface.

艾默生的智能无线产品，包括压力、流量、液位、温度以及震动变送器和网管，都具有WirelessHART标准通信功能，以及AMS预测维护软件套件和375现场通讯仪。艾默生未来一连串的新产品也将使用该标准，包括pH变送器、离散变送器、阀门位置变送器、用于老式设备滞留诊断的智能无线THUM通讯仪，以及DeltaV线接口。

"With official release of the HART 7 Specifications in September 2007, the WirelessHART standard became publicly available for manufacturers to begin implementing this new capability into their products and process solutions," commented HART Communications Foundation executive director Ron Helson.  "I am delighted to see Emerson moving quickly to release WirelessHART enabled products to the industry."

HART通信基金会执行总裁Ron Helson评论道：”利用在2007年9月正式公布的HART 7规格，WirelessHART标准公开对制造商开放，开始把这项新功能加入到他们的产品和过程解决方案中。我很高兴看到艾默生行动迅速，为业界提供具有WirelessHART功能的产品。“

"The WirelessHART technology addresses the critical needs of the process industry for simple, reliable and secure wireless communication in the real world industrial plant environment," continued Helson. "It is easy to use, easy to deploy, and fully backward compatible with existing instrumentation and host systems, preserving the investment in HART-enabled devices, tools, training, applications and work procedures used today."

Helson继续道：”WirelessHART技术满足了过程工业在现实世界工厂环境中对简单、可靠和安全无线通信的关键要求。它易于使用，易于部署，并完全向后兼容现有的仪器和主机系统，维持了现今使用的兼用HART技术的设备、工具、培训、应用以及工作程序的投资。“

Extending PlantWeb digital plant architecture, and through collaboration with Cisco, Emerson offers open-standard Smart Wireless process and plant management applications for measurement and control, asset optimization, mobile workers, asset and people location tracking, voice and video, and IT integration and security. These customized solutions will provide end users with a competitive edge through open-standards wireless technology and a complete network platform that ensures they can start with any application and easily expand as the technology evolve.

扩大PlantWeb数字工厂结构，并通过与思科合作，艾默生为测量和控制、资产优化、流动工人、资产和人员的位置追踪、语音和视频以及IT集成与安全提供了开放式标准的智能无线过程和工厂管理应用。这些定制的解决方案，将通过开放标准的无线技术以及一个完整的网络平台，为终端用户提供竞争优势，以确保他们可以启动任何应用程序，并随着技术的演变，容易地扩展。
