Honeywell Sensing and Control BX2 Hazardous Area Limit Switches

Honeywell's MICRO SWITCH™ BX Hazardous Area Limit Switch family has been expanded to include the new MICRO SWITCH™ BX2 Series featuring a corrosion-resistant stainless steel housing. The BX2 Series delivers corrosion resistance and provides both cost and time savings to the end user. The stainless steel housing helps protect the switch mechanism from corrosion often present in chemical processing plants, off-shore/near shore sites, and other hazardous areas. The MICRO SWITCH™ BX2 can also save up to four-weeks down time when replacing rusty, unsafe switches along with minimizing unplanned down time.
To comply with explosion-proof switching requirements, the flame path within the switch housing is designed to contain and cool escaping hot gases and fumes that could cause an explosion outside of the switch.
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
- Control valves and actuators
- Offshore drilling
- Gas recovery units
- petrochemical plants
- Grain elevators
- Waste treatment
- Paint booths
- Mining conveyors
- Pulp and paper handling
- Hazardous waste handling
Honeywell Sensing and Control Limitless Series Wireless Global Limit Switch

The Limitless™ series of switches is based on 802.15.4 point-to-point communications and can be configured to potentially allow up to sixteen devices to communicate with one receiver module. The products are based on Honeywell's proven harsh duty and medium duty limit switches. They have the same mechanical life, temperature ratings, and sealing as standard switches, but they're wireless. Wireless functionality is implemented through an 802.15.4 open protocol RF board operating in the 2.4 GHz globally license-free frequency band. The wireless signal is received by either a panel-mount receiver, or an industrial DIN-rail module, that then converts it to an output. Outputs can be LEDs, buzzers, or electrical signals. The capability also exists to provide CAN, ProfiBus, and standard Ethernet communications.
The Limitless™ switches eliminate the need for maintenance of equipment's wiring. Because there is no actual wiring to install, no wear-and-tear to mend, no frayed cord to ever replace. Which interprets into a better bottom line and increased uptime.
Benefits:
- Enables presence/absence detection in remote parts of application/machinery, where wiring is an issue or not feasible
- Reduced installation/maintenance costs with no wires, conduit, strain relief, clips, connectors, connection boxes, etc.
- Eliminates issues with wire connection integrity on moving equipment
- Consumes ultra-low power to prolong battery life
