Enhancing process efficiency

April 2025 Fieldbus & Industrial Networking

In the evolving landscape of industrial process automation, staying ahead of technological advancements is crucial. The Endress+Hauser FieldPort SWA50 is a game-changer, offering a seamless integration of Bluetooth and WirelessHART communication for HART field devices. This innovative adapter is designed to enhance the efficiency, safety, and reliability of process instrumentation.

Key features include:

• The FieldPort SWA50 converts the HART signal of connected devices into a secure and encrypted Bluetooth or WirelessHART signal. This ensures reliable transmission of process values, enabling real-time monitoring and control.

• One of the standout features of the FieldPort SWA50 is its ability to be easily retrofitted to all two-wire and four-wire HART field devices. This flexibility allows for quick upgrades without extensive modifications to existing systems.

• Built with a durable stainless-steel housing, the FieldPort SWA50 is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliability and performance.

• The FieldPort SWA50 can connect HART field devices to the Endress+Hauser Netilion cloud via a FieldEdge device. This integration facilitates advanced data analytics and remote monitoring, enhancing overall process efficiency.

• Configuration of the FieldPort SWA50 is straightforward using the Endress+Hauser SmartBlue app or Field Xpert. These tools provide an intuitive interface for visualising measured values and device status, simplifying the setup process.

The FieldPort SWA50 is ideal for a wide range of applications in both hazardous and non-hazardous areas. Its ability to provide wireless diagnostic information makes it invaluable for predictive maintenance and process optimisation. Industries such as chemical, oil and gas, and water treatment can greatly benefit from the enhanced connectivity and data accessibility offered by the FieldPort SWA50.The Endress+Hauser FieldPort SWA50 is a powerful tool for modernising process instrumentation. By enabling secure wireless communication, easy retrofitting and seamless integration with cloud services, it helps industries achieve higher efficiency, safety and reliability. Investing in the FieldPort SWA50 is a strategic move towards future-proofing your process operations and staying competitive in the market.

Some of the benefits are:

• Reliable transmission of the measured process values through the connected FieldPort SWA50 via encrypted Bluetooth or WirelessHART communication.

• Easy to retrofit any two-wire or four-wire HART field device.

• Easy connection of any HART field device to the Netilion cloud.

• Loop-powered adapter, without affecting the process signal.

• Easy accessible, wireless, diagnostic. information of connected HART field devices.

• Cost-efficient solution for plant digitalisation.
