PCH420 sensors are powered by the network for continuous coverage, unlike wireless solutions which only offer snapshots of asset performance and utilize batteries that require frequent replacement. PCH systems are less than half the cost of wireless monitoring systems that require gateways and other infrastructure to install, and can cost more than $1,000 per measurement point. The easily implemented technology allows data to be accessed by HART-enabled process controllers and information systems for better-informed decisions and improved predictive diagnostic capabilities.
Meggitt's new technology adds vibration sensors to the ranks of temperature, pressure, flow, level and analytical transmitters, which have been HART-capable for more than a decade.
