Honeywell Limitless series wireless limit switches

Honeywell Sensing and Control has announced the Limitless series of wireless limit switches that combines flexibility with harsh-duty packaging to increase efficiencies and improve safety for machines, equipment, OEMs and operators.

The product line combines the Micro Switch global switches with wireless technology. Limitless WGLA series limit switches feature commercial off-the-shelf wireless technology, especially beneficial for remote monitoring applications where wiring, or wiring maintenance, is not physically possible or economically feasible. Limitless wireless switches and monitors use 802.15.4 as it is licence free, globally acceptable and requires low power consumption. They also employ WLAN RF 2.4 GHz standard radio bands, conform to IEEE 802.15.4 standards, and feature a 16-bit address and 128-bit security key.

Up to 16 switches may be networked together and paired with one Limitless WPMM monitor. When used together, the components have up to a 304 m line-of-sight communication range. These switches may be used in a variety of remote monitoring applications, including valves, construction/agricultural machines, cranes, grain diverters/flaps, lifts, materials handling, door positioning, conveyors, presses and specialty machines.
