Honeywell's New OneWireless Release is ISA100-Ready
OneWireless Extends the Process Control Network
PHOENIX, June 16, 2008 - Honeywell (NYSE:HON) has announced an updated version of its OneWireless(TM) industrial wireless network equipment that is designed to be compatible with the end-user driven ISA100.11a industrial wireless communication standard. The latest OneWireless release is the process industries' first mesh network with ISA100-ready hardware. The network can be easily upgraded to the ISA100.11a standard, when it is completed, through an over-the-air software update.
"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 Honeywell's product line of transmitters with a new XYR(TM) 6000 Digital Input wireless transmitter. OneWireless supports a broad range of both wired and wireless transmitters, including corrosion, gauge pressure, differential pressure, high-level analog 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 Honeywell's 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 Honeywell's Field Device Manager. OneWireless system management software makes any XYR 6000 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.
