Process management for adding value to production
NAMUR has selected Honeywell as the sponsor of its 2008 general session, which this year is themed: 'Process Management - More than Instrumentation and Control'
"Manufacturers have been asking for a secure and reliable multi-functional wireless network that can handle the thousands of devices they use within their plants," said Harsh Chitale, vice president of strategy and global marketing for Honeywell Process Solutions: "Until now, the only way to do so was with proprietary systems.
The ISA100.11a standard will allow OneWireless users to achieve this vision using a standards-based network".
The release also extends the Honeywell product line of transmitters with a new XYR6000 Digital Input wireless transmitter.
OneWireless supports a broad range of both wired and wireless transmitters, including corrosion, gauge pressure, differential pressure, high-level analogue input and temperature transmitters.
As a single network supporting both sensors and IEEE 802.11-based applications, OneWireless also supports mobile worker devices, such as the Honeywell IntelaTrac PKS and Experion Mobile Station, and can improve plant safety by helping customers quickly locate employees.
In addition, the latest OneWireless release expands the interface capabilities of the system, supporting the HART protocol.
HART is commonly used by asset management applications such as the Honeywell Field Device Manager.
OneWireless system management software makes any XYR6000 transmitter communicate to existing HART-enabled applications in the same manner as to a wired HART device.
This continuous evolution of the OneWireless platform highlights the multi-protocol capabilities of the Honeywell system.
