The wireless capabilities reduce the costs associated with monitoring and controlling field-installed assets, such as motors, valves, and pumps.

The Emerson Rosemount™ 802 Wireless Multi-Discrete Input or Output Transmitter has eight discrete input/output (I/O) channels, each one configurable as an input or an output. WirelessHART® capability allows the transmitter to connect to a wireless gateway, which can in turn link to a host, such as a control system or asset management system, via a wired connection. This allows the host to monitor and control assets remotely over the network. The wireless capabilities reduce the costs associated with monitoring and controlling field-installed assets, such as motors, valves, and pumps, which traditionally require time-consuming field visits from technicians or a hardwired connection. The new Rosemount 802 minimizes these costs and improves safety by removing the field technician from hazardous areas while maintaining the discrete input and output control levels enabled by the host system.
