Temperature measurement
SITRANS TF280 WirelessHART is a battery-operated temperature transmitter for field use. It is used to measure the temperature under industrial conditions in the following sectors:
● Chemical industry
● Energy management
● District heating
● Water supply and treatment
● Food industry
● Iron & steel and cement industries
● Pharmaceuticals
● Biotechnology
Communication
The device communicates with other wireless HART devices by means of radio technology.
The basis is application of the HART protocol V7.1. SITRANS TF280 WirelessHART therefore complies with the following requirements:
● Design of self-organizing, wireless sensor networks
● Data exchange with other wireless HART devices at distances of up to 250 m
● Subsequent installation without cabling
● Overcoming of structural hindrances along the signal path.

Integration
Connecting to SIMATIC PCS 7
The integration of field devices in SIMATIC PCS 7 and other process control systems can now be done seamlessly and cost-effectively with wireless technology, especially in situations where high wiring costs may be expected. Of particular interest are measuring points which are to be added and for which no MSR wiring is available.
Where larger distances between the IW/WSN-PA LINK and control systems need to be overcome, this connection can also be implemented on a wireless and cost-effective basis using the products of the SCALANCE W family.
The Siemens WirelessHART devices are designed for optimum compatibility with products of the SCALANCE W family.

Configuration
Configuration of the SITRANS TF280 transmitter may be carried out as follows:
- Initial start-up for the SITRANS TF280 with SIMATIC PDM is generally carried out via a HART modem or the integrated local user interface, since the network ID and join key must be set up on the device before it can be accepted and integrated into the WirelessHART network.
- Once it is integrated into the network, the device can be conveniently operated with the WirelessHART network, the onsite HART modem or via the local user interface.

Technical specifications
The SITRANS TF280 can be mechanically installed in two ways:
- Directly at the measuring point with a M20x1.5 thread
Connection to other threads can be made using an adapter. - Offset from Pt100 sensor, which is connected to the transmitter via a cable.
