O UNICOM-u:


Od lidera u tehnologiji primenjenim u idustrijskim procesima i zgradama dolaze rešenja sa najvećom fleksibilnošću i najboljim perfomansama.


UNICOM 1 - OneWireless provides better-than-wired solutions


OneWireless is better than wired? Yes, because OneWireless addresses some of the most challenging business issues in process management–reliability, efficiency, and cost.


When you lose a wire, you lose communication. With multiple pathways from the field to the control room, the redundancy built into the OneWireless system delivers better-than-wired performance. This kind of protection against communication failure was not possible with wired devices. What’s more, a wire to a field device can only support that single device while OneWireless can support the device and countless other wireless applications as well.


Efficient and cost-effective, OneWireless adds mobility tools to your arsenal. Operators are no longer tethered to the control room and with the Mobile Station, can take their control system data anywhere in the plant. Technicians have real-time maintenance data at their fingertips. Plants can implement new field instruments rapidly and take efficiency to a new level with just one infrastructure to manage.


Finally, when you consider the cost of purchasing, installing and maintaining wires along with added reliability and efficiency, the OneWireless solution is better than wired.

  • Tackle challenging business problems – reliability, efficiency and cost
  • Protect against communication failure with multiple pathways to the control room
  • Support multiple applications on a single wireless link
  • Gain efficiency with mobility tools
  • Real-time maintenance data improves plant performance
  • Implement new field devices faster
  • Save time and money by managing only one infrastructure
  • Reduce costs associated with wire

UNICOM 2 - OneWireless is the only wireless system with control-ready performance


Sustainable 1-second update rates from ISA100 field instruments, wireless output field devices, native integration into the control system, and no single point of failure, make OneWireless the first and only “control-ready” industrial wireless network available. Designed from the ground up to meet your needs today and into the future, OneWireless is ready for control when you are.

  • Wireless field instruments with 1-second sustained update rate
  • First to have a standards-based output device
  • Only system that can accept wireless field devices into the control system – using the same configuration tools as wired devices
  • Prioritizes wireless traffic and ensures that critical information from wireless field devices is always received first
  • Complete system redundancy with no single point of failure from the field instruments to the host application

UNICOM 3 - OneWireless provides the best all-around performance available


With the fastest update speed, superior battery performance, and greatest area of coverage among standards-based providers, OneWireless provides the best all-around performance available.

We designed our field devices and infrastructure for maximum bandwidth and to allow field devices to reserve battery power for their primary purpose, measurement. OneWireless delivers the best speed available; our 1-second update rate allows wireless monitoring and control. First-ever diversity antennas for field instruments improve Honeywell’s own longest range for field instruments as well as communication reliability in harsh multipath environments. Honeywell OneWireless performance is unbeatable.

  • 1-second sustained update rate
  • Best-in-class range
  • 10-year battery life for wireless field devices

UNICOM 4 - OneWireless offers the most choice in wireless solutions


The OneWireless network can be tailored to offer the wireless coverage needed for any industrial application, from a simple, multi-point to point system, to field instrument mesh, or to a completely integrated, plant-wide, multi-application wireless network. This kind of choice provides the flexibility to build on your wireless investment.

  • Scalable from single application in a small area to multiple applications for the largest industrial facilities in the world
  • Solutions include field I/O devices, remote controllers, mobile productivity tools, equipment health monitoring, wireless video and security
  • Support of sensor meshing per device – other vendors sensor-mesh only which limits performance and scalability
  • Offers wireless coverage for wireless field instruments only or wireless field instrument and Wi-Fi devices.
  • Network architecture combines multiple frequencies, bandwidths and protocols
  • Easily integrate components from several different vendors

UNICOM 5 - OneWireless has the lowest total cost of ownership


It’s a well-know fact–wireless solutions lower installation costs. Honeywell takes wireless cost savings to the next level with a system designed to deliver the lowest TCO of any wireless solution.

OneWireless field devices and infrastructure optimize battery life, minimize incremental expansion cost, and eliminate the cost of supporting multiple wireless infrastructures. Plus, our industry-leading wireless range allows for field devices to be located where they are needed without having to add expensive gateways and repeater devices.

  • Devices use standard, commercially-available batteries, not proprietary power modules
  • 10-year battery life from wireless field instruments at more than 1-sec update rate
  • 30% cost savings with single infrastructure that supports field devices, Wi-Fi and Ethernet devices and provides a redundant connection to the PCN
  • Antenna diversity for field instruments increases coverage range by 50%

UNICOM 6 - OneWireless is the only wireless solution that natively supports Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and field devices with one network


Honeywell's OneWireless solution incorporates a multi-protocol, multi-standard wireless network communicating simultaneously with Wi-Fi and industrial I/O devices. Our system also utilizes optional redundant synchronized gateways, which link your wireless network into the PCN. OneWireless not only includes field instruments but also wireless mobile operator stations, employee tracking and voice communications.

  • Integrated backhaul network to provide maximum area of coverage
  • Support for IEEE 802.11 a/b/g devices and ISA100.11a wireless transmitters
  • Simultaneous communication with transmitters, laptops, handhelds, and other IP-based devices
  • Not limited to ISA100 and HART devices

UNICOM 7 - OneWireless supports the user-developed ISA100.11a standard to protect your wireless investment


Honeywell's OneWireless solution implements the ISA100.11a standard, which represents a comprehensive industrial wireless approach–a technology designed to meld various specifications such as FOUNDATION Fieldbus, Modbus, Profibus, HART and Common Industrial Protocol (CIP). Its application model can be "molded" to emulate legacy application layers; this allows you to reuse proven tools and interfaces, while also reducing your overall development and testing time–resulting in faster deployment of robust implementations.

  • Supports open-loop and closed-loop control
  • Enables the most open and interoperable application environment
  • Supports legacy devices and applications
  • ISA100.11a standard handles a much higher volume of process data
