The new PMV D3 wireless positioner represents a breakthrough in communications technology which improves operational efficiency by allowing communication to, and monitoring of, process control / sensor equipment - wherever they are sited. This increases the scope of operational awareness in the control room and on the plant. Further, this industry-leading technology reduces the installation and maintenance cost of extensive and expensive wiring and cabinets, while eliminating issues due to damaged/ageing wires and corroding connectors. In cooperation with Yokogawa Electric Corporation, Flowserve PMV has developed wireless communication for its D3 positioner using the ISA100 WirelessTM standard (for more information, see below). It has so far achieved compliance with US, Canadian and Japanese radio regulations (FCC, IC and Japan Radio Law / UL) while approval in other regions is in progress. This industry leading technology uses safety features such as dual backbone routers to provide redundant radio paths and additionally incorporates safety features such as user configurable behavior at loss of signal or power from the plant. About ISA100 Wireless™ ISA100 Wireless (IEC 62734) is an international, industrial wireless networking and communications standard engineered to serve the needs of process industries. With native IPv6 networking and object architecture, ISA100 Wireless extends the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) to wireless. End users can select ISA100 Wireless Compliant™ devices from a best-of-breed pool of suppliers with assurances of device interoperability. ISA100 Wireless enables automation engineers to quickly create, modify, optimize, and scale wireless networks that are open, interoperable, and reliable for their most critical applications. ISA100 Wireless is the first standard in the ISA100 family of open standards. Built from the ground up and driven by user requirements, the ISA100 Wireless standard received formal ANSI approval in January 2012 and approval as IEC 62734 in September 2014. ISA100 Wireless is the only IPv6, 6LowPAN industrial protocol designed for industrial automation. ISA100 Wireless meets requirements of ETSI EN 300 328 v1.8.1 for coexistence with nearby 2.4 GHz radio devices.
