Description
The FDAP is an industrial meshing access point for ISA100 Wireless and/or WirelessHART field
instruments.
Once implemented in a plant, it self-discovers other neighbouring wireless devices: e.g., Cisco access points, other FDAPs, and ISA100 Wireless/WirelessHART field Instruments, to form a reliable and secure IEEE 802.15.4-based wireless mesh network.
The device can support all ISA100 Wireless and WirelessHART field instruments including wired HART instruments connected to the wireless adapters.
The FDAP uses an advanced spatial diversity scheme combined with Honeywell’s intelligent wireless algorithm to significantly improve communication reliability in extreme multi-path environments and extend the wireless coverage for ISA100 Wireless/WirelessHART field instruments by a factor of 1.5 compared to other wireless routing devices without diversity.
Features- Provides Superior Performance in Multi-path and Non-line-of-Sight Environments
- Enables Use of Wireless Field Instruments for Applications Requiring Fast Reporting Rates: Less than 10 Seconds and Short Latency: Less than 250 mS
- Optimizes The Battery Life of a Wireless Field Instrument
- Enables Wireless Field Devices in Areas Where Wi-Fi Radios are Not Allowed
- Reduces the Number of Wireless Routing Devices Needed for Optimal Wireless Coverage of ISA100 Wireless/ WirelessHART Field Instruments
- Helps Reduce Operating Costs: Fewer Line-Powered Routing Devices And Optimized Batteries For Wireless Field Instruments
