These devices can now access multiple variables over a single pair of
wires in a point-to-point or multi-drop configuration. The interface
eliminates the need for technicians to cover hundreds of miles
configuring and diagnosing instrument problems in wide-area SCADA
networks, while also reducing installation and wiring costs. “Enabling
the use of Foundation fieldbus-based devices in remote oil and gas
production, pipeline, and water and wastewater applications marks a
step change in the visibility that customers have into their
operations,” said Neal Ingram, president of Remote Automation Solutions
at the vendor. “This level of information ultimately increases a
customer’s profitability by decreasing downtime and increasing
production resulting from well-informed operational, maintenance, and
management decisions.
