The XNX Universal Transmitter, now with HART
EDDL, marks a new turn in gas detection from
Honeywell Analytics. It supports the widest
range of sensors on a common platform and
offers a modular choice of inputs and outputs.

XNX is designed for flexible integration, simple installation, user-friendly operation
and straight-forward maintenance. It is ideal for use with a range of gas
monitoring controllers or industry standard PLCs. The introduction of our HART
Enhanced Device Descriptor Language (EDDL) software provides users with an
at-a-glance indication of the health of their gas detectors in the field.

Universal Gas Sensing
and Communications Platform

The XNX’s powerful advanced
communications module – including
our new HART EDDL software – adds
increased efficiency, functionality and
flexibility to a gas detection network.

XNX offers a variety of communication options to suit your industrial
operation’s unique and changing needs. HART communication comes
standard on the XNX — with optional EDDL — along with optional

EDDL Software

Honeywell Analytics’ EDDL software
allows you to get real-time advanced
diagnostics without having to custom­program your PLC/DCS. It allows you
to manage your gas detection data
from your PLC/DCS and generates a
visual depiction of the XNX’s advanced
diagnostics, including protective
maintenance, live gas trending,
event history and more.

advanced diagnostic data at any time.

Modbus, Foundation Fieldbus or relays. It can interface with a PLC and a
host of other protocol compatible devices found in industrial applications.

Unique to the XNX and Honeywell Analytics is our new HART EDDL
software, which allows you to manage all of your HART devices’
advanced diagnostic data right from your PLC.

With the XNX, you are freed from the need to add extra controllers,
junction boxes, relays, monitors and other equipment accessories. The
integration of our EDDL software also enables the XNX to work with a
number of third-party distributed control systems (DCS).

With EDDL, you can check the real-time status

of your HART device.
