Temperature Monitoring at a Tank Farm

Application

Temperature monitoring at a tank farm

• Temperature monitoring of a tank farm that is about 400 m away from the office.
• Many vehicles and lorries pass or park on the road between the office and the tank farm.

Challenge

• Vehicles and trucks become obstacles to the radio path, making wireless communication unstable.

Solutions

• Wireless temperature measurement
  Gateway x1, transmitter (YTA) x1, repeater x2 (The 2 repeaters are for redundancy)
• Extended antenna to circumvent obstacles and improve the radio path for stable measurement (communication was unstable when the height of the antenna was low).

Benefits

• ISA100 longer communication range
• Robust communication with lower packet error rates.
