Declaration
Honeywell does not recommend using devices for critical control where there is a single
point of failure or where single points of failure result in unsafe conditions. This release
of OneWireless (R110) is targeted at open loop control, supervisory control, and controls
that do not have environmental or safety consequence. As with any process control
solution the end-user must weigh the risks and benefits to determine if the products used
are the right match for the application based on security, safety, and performance.
Additionally, it is up to the end-user to ensure that the control strategy sheds to a safe
operating condition if any crucial segment of the control solution fails.

Overview
OneWireless is Honeywell’s network solution which connects process sensors and
transmitters to the control system wirelessly in an industrial control environment.
OneWireless uses Radio Frequency (RF) communications to transfer process data
between the sensors and the control system, rather than the traditional wired connections.
WNSIA solution
There are four major components that make up Honeywell’s OneWireless network:
1. Wireless sensors (field I/O devices, such as tem perature or pressure transmitters) that
provide replacement for non-electronic or legacy wired sensors.
2. Wireless network infrastructure nodes (Multinodes) that serve as the network
backbone to route wireless traffic towards the gateway and the control system.
3. Wireless System Gateways (WSGs) which act as bridges between the wireless
network and the wired plant network.
4. Wireless device configuration tools (Wireless Builder, Key Server, Network
Management and Diagnostics) allow users to configure, operate and monitor
wireless devices.
OneWireless System
A typical OneWireless network using these components is shown in Figure 1.
R110 OneWireless Multinode User's Guide 3

OneWireless System
Overview
NOTE: The Key Server and Wireless Builder are installed on the OneWireless Server.
Figure 1 Honeywell’s OneWireless solution for Wireless Network for
Secure Industrial Applications (WNSIA)
OneWireless Network topology
Honeywell uses a wireless mesh network to achieve the OneWireless solution. A mesh
network provides multiple RF communication paths between multinodes and Wireless
System Gateways to transfer data to and from the wireless field devices. For example, in
Figure 1 the WSG is connected to the wired network of the control system. Four
multinodes are operating as Access Points (APs), communicating with the field devices
and the WSG. Each multinode also is communicating with the other multinodes to form
a mesh network. Multiple communications paths are also made between any field
device and the WSG via any multinode in the network. Wi Fi clients can connect to the
network via the multinode access points.

The Multinode/Wireless System Gateway
Multinode description
The Multinode is a wireless RF transmitter-receiver and router that is used to create the
wireless communications network. Communication occurs by establishing radio links
between the multinode and other wireless devices that are configur ed to operate as part of
the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). It routes network traffic between devices,
such as wireless field devices, other multinodes and wireless system gateways.
The multinode is enclosed in a weatherproof enclosure and is mounted on a pole, a wall
or near rooftop locations where it can transmit, receive and route control messages
between field devices and the WSG. Figure 2 shows the physical features of the
multinode. The multinode and the WSG are physically the same, and contain the same
internal components. The operating mode selection during configuration enables the
multinode to operate as a WSG or a multinode.
Operating modes
Multinodes can be configured to operate as either a Wireless System Gateway- in which
the multinode acts as a device connecting the wireless network with the wired control
system; or as a Multinode- which is an access point that communicates with the wireless
field devices and the WSGs in the wireless network. Note that a WSG may also be
configured to act as an access point within the wireless network. Multinodes also can be
configured to provide mesh communications where multinodes communicate with other
multinodes and WSGs to form a mesh network. The WSGs and multinodes use IEEE
802.11a/b/g communications protocol to communicate and complete the wireless
network. Multinodes may also be connected to WSGs through a wired Ethernet link.
System security
OneWireless system uses both encryption keys and secure key deployment to secure the
wireless network. Security of the multinodes operating in a mesh network use key
encryption. During multinode configuration an encryption key is created which is then
copied to the configuration of other multinodes that will operate in the same network.
Every wireless communication is encrypted using a strong security key, (see Data
Encryption for more information).
Security between multinodes and field I/O devices is achieved through secure key
deployment. Security keys are generated by the key server and then are deployed to
individual field I/O devices via an authentication device. Security keys are dynamic and
change automatically by the system following initial deployment providing a greater
level of security for the wireless network.

The Multinode/Wireless System Gateway
Physical description
The Key Server is an application operating on the wireless server that stores, allocates
and manages the security keys. Authentication devices are small handheld devices
(PDAs) with an infrared port and buttons which are used to carry the security k eys
around between key server and the devices to be authenticated. The authentication device
deploys the security keys to field devices to establish a trust between the device which is
being authenticated (added to the network) and the key server. A couple of button
presses is all that is required to authenticate a new device. See Getting Started for
Honeywell OneWireless Solution for more information on authentication of wireless
nodes. Additionally, the authentication device can also read and set parameters on
multinodes and field I/O devices.
Service Set ID (SSID)
The Service Set ID (SSID) is used to define a common domain (network) among
multiple wireless access points. Access points having the same SSID can communicate
with each other. Two wireless networks with different SSIDs on access points can create
overlapping wireless networks. The SSID can act as a password so that a client cannot
connect to the network without it. However, security using the SSID is easily overridden
when an access point is set to broadcast the SSID, which means that any client can
associate with the AP. SSID broadcasting can be disabled in the multinode setup menus.
Data Encryption
You can select a data encryption option to be used for multinode wireless
communications. Options include: None (n o e ncryption), Static WEP, WPA, or AESCCMP, depending on the multinode’s mode of operation. The AES-CCMP encryption
option is available when operating multinodes in a wireless bridge network. Some level
of security is recommended for all modes of operation.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption is a security protocol for Wireless Local
Area Networks (WLANs) defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard. WEP relies on the use of
identical static keys deployed on client stations and access points. Static WEP gives
you a choice of 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. A multinode configured with WEP
encryption is compatible with any 802.11b PC Card configured for WEP.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)/WPA2 with TKIP/ AES-CCMP
WPA combines several technologies which includes the use of the 802.1X standard and
the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). For encryption, WPA uses the Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and WEP 128-bit encryption keys. Also, a message
integrity check is used to prevent an attacker from capturing and altering or forging data
packets. In addition, it can employ a form of AES called AES-CCMP.

WPA includes the option of using a WPA pre-shared key for key management with
either TKIP or AES-CCMP encryption

Features
The Honeywell Multinode/Wireless System Gateway is a self-contained unit that is
weatherproof and conforms to IP66 waterproof specifications. The multinode contains
no
user-serviceable parts inside the enclosure. External connections on the multinode
include three Type N connections for antennas. A ¾-inch conduit connection provides
access to wired connections for DC power, grounding and Ethernet cables.
On the top side of the enclosure are six LEDs that indicate power to the unit and
operating status. See Table 2 for a description of the LED indicators. A small window
on the side of the enclosure provides an optical infrared connection which is used to issue
a security key by the authentication device when commissioning the multinode.
Mounting holes are located at each corner of the multinode enclosure with a grounding
stud located on one side. The enclosure is designed to attach to a mounting panel that
enables pole mounted or wall mounted installation.
When the multinode is mounted outdoors or when approval certifications require it,
installation of lightning protection components, (such as lightning arrestors and enclosure
grounding) are necessary. See Outdoor prot ect i on ki t
Refer to Table 3 Multinode specifications for more information.
Two multinode versions are available that provide two temperature ranges of operation.
