Published on : Monday 11-12-2023

FieldPort SWA50 Intelligent Bluetooth and/or WirelessHART adapter for any HART field device.

The Endress+Hauser FieldPort SWA50 enables reliable and secure wireless connectivity for monitoring measurement and diagnostics data from assets. This avoids costly wiring in brownfield plants by providing a cost-effective easy retrofitting 2-wire connection concept. The FieldPort SWA50 empowers connected workers to do their job safely and remotely.

The combination of the Bluetooth version of the SWA50 with a FieldEdge SGC200 provides fast and easy connection to the Netilion Cloud and supports the use of data in various Netilion Services.

The WirelessHART version of the SWA50 can be easily integrated into a WirelessHART network with the Fieldgate SWG70 and connection to Netilion Services using a FieldEdge SGC500.

Benefits:

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

2. Easy to retrofit any 2-wire or 4-wire HART field device

3. Easy connection of any HART field device to the Netilion Cloud

4. Loop-powered adapter, without affecting the process signal, and

5. Easily accessible, wireless, diagnostic information of connected HART field devices

6. Cost-efficient solution for plant digitalization
