Controller wirelessly turns on/off equipment

The Limitless Wireless Operator Interface, WOI series adds a human interface device to the product-driven interfaces of the Limitless portfolio. With both momentary and maintained contact options, the Limitless series now offers wireless control from both person and position.

The WOI is a controller designed to wirelessly turn on and off equipment (pumps, motors, drives, conveyors, and other industrial equipment), open or close gates/doors, or provide notification to remote locations. The series can be used in rugged industrial environments to notify appropriate departments when there are quality, machine, material out-of-stock, or other manufacturing issues.

Designed for flexibility, the user can choose and install a desired operator (22 mm rotary switch, key switch, key) or utilize one of Honeywell’s pushbuttons. It communicates through Limitless receivers that provide PLC inputs or relay outputs connected directly to equipment to turn on LEDs or start/stop industrial equipment.

The Limitless wireless network includes the WDRR Din-rail receiver, WPMM monitor, WLS heavy-duty limit switch, and WGLA global limit switch. The entire solution utilizes the global, license-free RF wireless 802.15.4 WPAN protocol that provides up to a 305 m (1000 ft) line-of-sight communication range, and prolongs battery life with advanced power management technology.
