OneWireless Network Overview

OneWireless is an all-digital, serial, two-way communication mesh network that interconnects industrial
field sensors to a central system.
OneWireless has defined standards to which field devices and operator stations communicate with one
another. The communications protocol is built as an "open system" to allow all field devices and
equipment that are built to OneWireless standard to be integrated into a system, regardless of the device
manufacturer. This interoperability of devices using OneWireless technology is to become an industry
standard for automation systems.

About the Sensor

The WCX Series Valve Position Sensor is furnished with OneWireless interface to operate in a compatible
distributed OneWireless system. The sensor will interoperate with any OneWireless-registered device.
The sensor includes OneWireless electronics for operating in a 2.4GHz network. It features function block
architecture.

Input

The WCX Series Valve Position Sensor supports no electrical signal inputs.
The sensor measures a mechanical angular position and transmits a digital output signal proportional to the
measured value. Figure 1 shows the functional diagram.
