AWIN GW100 WirelessHART Gateway
Making Field Wireless Easy
The ABB AWIN GW100 Gateway connects WirelessHART™
instruments and adapters to your automation network. It can
aggregate process measurements from field instruments to
help you gain better insights into your processes.
1. How to add new process measurements at a low
cost? A concern to both greenfield and brownfield
projects. Valid for oil and gas, food and beverage
and petrochemical industries.
2. How to enable flexib ility when applying new
process measurements? With wired solutions
everything is fastened into position and requires
pre-planning.
3. How to speed up project execution by lowering
installation and engineering time?
4. How to simply, securely and reliably operate and
maintain process measurement networks?
5. How to efficiently document as-built design of
process connections?
ABB AWIN GW100 Gateway addresses these
challenges.
The AWIN GW100 WirelessHART Gateway allows you to connect
wireless
instruments to traditional control systems, such as, System
800xA. With
AWIN GW100 you can extend the range of the wireless
communication easily.
It allows you to connect to processes that were previously
inaccessib le due to
economical, technical or mechanical reasons.
Our solution works with traditional control systems, as well as
cloud-based
offerings such as ABB Ability™. Built-in intelligence within the
AWIN GW100
enables quick and effortless WirelessHART device connection.
Go wireless quickly and easily with:
• Price-competitive hardware
• Simple and intuitive setup
• No need for special training
• Easy configuration of WirelessHART networks
• ABB WirelessHART devices effortlessly connect to AWIN
GW100
• System 800xA easily connects to AWIN GW100 gateway using
available library
• As-built self documentation functionality
• Network performance tracking, logging and reporting
