HONEYWELL EXPANDS LIMITLESS™ WIRELESS PORTFOLIO WITH
NEW WIRELESS OPERATOR INTERFACE PUSHBUTTON CONTROLLER
Enables Control and Notification in Remote Parts of Plants
Where Wiring is Too Costly or Not Possible
MINNEAPOLIS, August 13, 2012 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the release of the new
Limitless™ Wireless Operator Interface, WOI Series, which expands Honeywell’s Limitless™ wireless switch
and receiver portfolio by providing a packaged pushbutton controller for manufacturers and OEMs. The 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.
Honeywell’s Wireless Operator Interface 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 WOI 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.
“The WOI Series provides a control option for users looking to avoid the wiring costs, maintenance
issues, hazards, time and engineering that comes with a ‘wired’ push button,” said Joseph Citrano, senior global
product marketing manager, Sensing and Control. “This new device expands Honeywell’s Limitless™ wireless
portfolio that includes monitors, din-rail receivers, global limit switches, and heavy-duty limit switches.”
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 is an easy and cost-effective solution for those looking for a reliable
wireless solution. It includes the WDRR Din-rail receiver, WPMM monitor, WLS heavy-duty limit switch, and
WGLA global limit switch. The entire Limitless™ 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.
The Limitless™ WOI Series potentially could be used in industrial applications such as CNC action,
conveyors, door and gate action, lifts, material handling, motor drives, presses, pumps, quality control buttons,
specialty machines, stop/start machinery, stop/start production, and valve action. Potential transportation
applications include agricultural equipment and movable machinery.
