For industrial, machine, conveyors and heavy transportation equipment, Honeywell has introduced the Limitless wireless DIN-rail receiver. The DIN rail or panel mountable receiver receives wireless signals from up to 14 position-sensing switches and communicates the individual switch status to a PLC or any controllers capable of receiving NPN/PNP inputs. The switching can save up to 60% compared to traditional wired switching, claims the company, by reducing installation time, conduit, wire, clips and other accessories. The receiver also enables sensing capabilities where it is impossible or very difficult to run cabling. The wireless network uses the global, license-free RF wireless 802.15.4 WPAN 2-Honeywell Limitless wireless DIN rail receiver protocol and provides up to a 305m line-of-sight communication range.
