OneWireless equipment health monitoring is the first wireless product to send complete spectral information for more efficient maintenance
This kit includes two of the Honeywell XYR 6000 series of wireless transmitters, enabling automated monitoring in areas where traditional hard-wired transmitters are too costly, difficult or time-consuming to implement.
If you would like to add additional sensors to the transmitters included in the kit, the XYR 6000 transmitter family includes devices for accurately monitoring gauge pressure, absolute pressure, differential pressure, temperature, and corrosion.
The XYR 6000 wireless transmitter line also includes an analog input interface for adding wireless capabilities to other conventional 4-20mA devices.
The devices wirelessly transmit their measurements to a gateway or to multiple communication nodes, called multinodes.
The starter kit includes one multinode/gateway to wirelessly communicate to the sensors forming a managed, secure and redundant wireless network.
The multinode/gateway also interfaces with the Honeywell PC-based Wireless Server Software, which offers configuration capabilities and communications with your control system.
The multinode/gateway and each associated multinode you may subsequently add is also an 802.11 b/g wireless access point providing flexible remote communications.
The Honeywell OneWireless multi-functional wireless mesh network supports wireless-enabled applications within a single wireless network to optimise plant productivity and reliability, improve safety and security, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Supporting both the Honeywell XYR family of wireless transmitters, and offering an open yet secure backbone to 802.11-enabled equipment, this network delivers a global solution with robust security, predictable power management and multi-speed monitoring.
This is the only wireless network you'll need for your industrial plant.
