Honeywell has introduced its new XYR 3000 wireless multiplexers, the portfolio designed to improve latest additions to the company’s OneWireless plant safety, equipment reliability and overall process efficiency. The multiplexers support a wide array of legacy communication protocols such as Modbus and OPC wireless networks for plants. According to Honeywell, the devices are ideal for various applications such as safety showers, tank level monitoring, remote pump control, video monitoring, gas detection system connection and adding off-the-shelf sensors to the field. Manufacturers can connect existing wired instrumentation for these applications to the multiplexers, thereby converting the signals to wireless for increased data reliability. The multiplexers also are capable of relaying commands from the control room to execute tasks.“These new devices address the two main elements of process control: the ability to sense and the ability to act upon what you sensed,” said Jeff Becker, global wireless business director, Honeywell Process Solutions. “The XYR 3000 multiplexers do more than feed information into a control room; they are a cost-effective way to build a complete solution.”
