Overview
OneWireless is Honeywell's network solution which connects process sensors and
transmitters to the control system wirelessly in an industrial control environment.
OneWireless uses Radio Frequency (RF) communications to transfer process data
between the sensors and the control system, rather than the traditional wired connections.
WNSIA solution
There are four major components that make up Honeywell's OneWireless network:
1. Wireless sensors (field I/O devices, such as temperature or pressure transmitters) that
provide replacement for non-electronic or legacy wired sensors.
2. Wireless network infrastructure nodes (Multinodes) that serve as the network
backbone to route wireless traffic towards the gateway and the control system.
3. Wireless System Gateways (WSGs) which act as bridges between the wireless
network and the wired plant network.
4. Wireless device configuration tools (Wireless Builder, Key Server, Network
Management and Diagnostics) allow users to configure, operate and monitor
wireless devices.
A typical OneWireless network using these components is shown in Figure 1.
