HONEYWELL has released the OneWireless R200 system, adding full compliance with ISA100.11a standard, allowing industrial wireless network design.
According to the company, depending on application requirements, plants can design networks which provide wireless coverage for field instruments only, or coverage for both field instruments and Wi-Fi devices.
The wireless mesh network solution also includes features which simplify how industrial facilities install and expand their wireless networks, and help maximise field transmitter battery life.
The solution includes new Field Device Access Point and Wireless Device Manager features. The Field Device Access Point is designed to support ISA100.11a field instruments by assuming message-routing duties.
The Wireless Device Manager manages field instrument networks by serving as a gateway system and security manager, and ensuring all communication between the field instruments and plant network is secure.
