Plant Mobility: Wireless Push Button Series

May 23, 2011
The new, Harmony XB5R wireless push button series offers mobility and ability to remotely control machines from 25 meters away.
With automotive manufacturers' big move toward updating plants for energy efficiency, lean principles and electric vehicles, this new push-button series provides plant personnel with remote capabilities for production lines. Other applications beside automotive include conveyance machines for mining and logistics, and palletizing and bottling machines in food and beverage. The series also delivers a battery-less solution, offering permanent availability and eliminating the need for battery maintenance, re-charging and reloading, and recycling costs. Other features include the ability to send a one-time radio message to one or multiple receivers or sync up to 2 push buttons with one receiver. This solution also offers a reduction in installation costs compared to a wired solution, and "ready-to-use" packages with transmitter and receiver already paired. Additional ZB4 and ZB5 transmitters are also available as components; and an external antenna for extended signal transmission and an ergonomics box are available as accessories.
