Wireless Monitoring Applications: Flow Monitoring
FEDD can employ any number of methods utilizing our unique devices to monitor flow data
and transmit it wirelessly across the facility, and beyond. FEDD offers the total wireless
solution for capturing, transmitting and integrating flow data economically, across the plant,
across the road, or across the continent. The performance, reliability, integrity and service
life of FEDD devices in the some of the most rigorous and congested environments has been proven
to be unequaled.
Flow Monitoring Devices
Where loop powered flow monitoring instruments are in use and the output
data is required at remote locations, the use of FEDD single point wireless transmitters brings the
signal to the control room or wherever desired, without costly hard wiring. FEDD can integrate data
from other flow monitoring devices outputting analog (4/20 mA) or digital signals and transmit
wirelessly using our single point transmitters powered by battery or the existing loop.
These devices have a range of ¾ mile which can be increased to 7 miles plus using FEDD
intelligent repeaters. For off-site transmission of critical data, such as for inventory management,
the use of other methods can be incorporated into the data integration system.
Multiple Flow Monitoring Devices – By Others
In the instance where data from single or multiple devices monitoring flow is required at remote
locations, the use of FEDD Remote Transmitting Units (RTUs) receiving either analog (4/20 mA), digital signals or other types of protocols (such as Modbus) from the devices and transmitting wirelessly to the control room and/or other
remote locations is the optimal solution, economically and operationally. Where loop power is not
available, FEDD RTUs, solar powered with battery back up, can provide continuous power to any
instrument designed to be loop powered.
The RTU can also be equipped with an independent alarm for
reading a set of dry contacts. Utilizing FEDD RTUs, system expandability is virtually unlimited.
FEDD RTUs are unique in the industry, allow for virtually unlimited flexibility in the system, are
unequalled in performance and reliability and are among the most important technical advances in
wireless data acquisition, transmission and integration to date.
