PRELIMINARY
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The GE MDS WiYZ platform allows the connection of process sensors to a wireless network. Wirelessly networked sensors allow
monitoring and control of equipment and processes without the
infrastructure requirements of a hard-wired system. The WiYZ platform’s IP65 Outdoor Rating allows installation of the gateway and
remotes outdoors, if required.
In addition
Manual (05-4954A01) provides helpful guidance on WiYZ systems
and menus. Also refer to the MDS WiYZ Gateway Quick Start
Guide (05-4888A01). Electronic copies of all user documents and
data sheets are available free of charge at www.GEmds.com.
1.1 WiYZ Remote
The WiYZ Remote is an industrial wireless solution for monitoring
signals from directly connected sensors and other signaling
devices. It provides robust, versatile communications even in
harsh environments and at sites with limited power and communication facilities.
The unit’s self-contained design allows for quick installation and
deployment without the nee

1.2 Typical Application
The WiYZ system allows the user to connect a network of sensors
wirelessly, and to access collected sensor data through a variety
of backhaul WAN interfaces.
The WiYZ Remotes monitor analog signals from directly connected sensors and other signaling devices, such as warehouse
video cameras, tank level sensors,
