ZigBee network design
● Planning & designing the wireless system
* Be sure to review the Deployment Guidelines Section, pages 15
General overview when planning and designing a wireless deployment.

● Step 1: Get the site layout (floor plans)

● Step 2: Identify location of equipment to control - HVAC equipment, lighting
equipment, sensors, etc
● Step 3: Identify existing wiring (if any)
● Step 4: Identify location of the front-end
● Step 5: Plan the location of the devices
● Step 6: Ensure appropriate theoretical range with wireless end devices
(distance, obstacles)
● Step 7: Ensure appropriate theoretical range between wireless controllers
(distance, obstacles)

* If the distance is too great or that the signal isn’t going around obstacles, add in one or more nodes to act
as a repeater. Or consider a wired connection (CANBus or Ethernet) for that specific link.
Schneider Electric - SmartStruxure™ Lite solution Training 21
ZigBee network design (cont’d)
● Site Survey

● Conduct a wireless site survey

● Verify the design for obstacles and/or interferences from other
systems/devices.
● Site survey software is an invaluable tool to properly plan a wireless
deployment.

Schneider Electric - SmartStruxure™ Lite solution Training 22

Site survey
● Goal: verify the design
● Are there any existing wireless or wired networks?

ZigBee network design (cont’d)
● How is range determined?
● Transmit Power (dBm)
● Transmit power refers to the amount of RF power that comes out of the
antenna port of the radio. Transmit power is usually measured in Watts,
milliwatts or dBm.
● Receiver Sensitivity
● Receiver sensitivity refers to the minimum level signal the radio can
demodulate. In other words the sensitivity is the lowest level signal that the
receiver is able to get coherent information from.
● Example – human ear:
● Two persons right next to each other do not have to yell in order to be
understood - the “transmit power” coming out is well within capacity of the
receiving end to be understood. If they are far away, then either the Tx power
needs to be augmented (increased) or the Rx needs to be more sensible.

Schneider Electric - SmartStruxure™ Lite solution Training 27

ZigBee network design (cont’d)
● Line of sight versus obstacles
● Perfect line of sight: no attenuation
● Obstacles will introduce signal attenuation
●The closer the obstacle, the worst
●High attenuation: Ferrous and non-ferrous metals, mirrors
●Medium attenuation: Brick, Cinder block, Marble
●Low attenuation: Wood, plaster, glass (clear)

● Example: Attenuation for foliage (leaves) at different frequency ranges

Selecting the right ZigBee channels

● North America
● 25, 26 are non-overlapping with WIFI channels – best choices

● Europe:
● 15, 16, 21 or 22 are non-overlapping with WiFi Channels – best choices

Schneider Electric - SmartStruxure™ Lite solution Training 30

Why have we chosen ZigBee?

● Reliable and self healing

● Supports large number of nodes
● Easy to deploy
● Very long battery life for a wireless device
● Secure
● Low cost
● 2.4GHz ISM band can be used internationally

Schneider Electric - SmartStruxure™ Lite solution Training 31

How many ZigBee devices?

● The combination of the following 3 rules will dictate how many ZigBee
devices can be used in a single ZigBee network (MPM):

● A ZigBee network should not have more then 75 ZigBee devices in total
(coordinator, router and end devices);

● A ZigBee network should not have more than 25 nodes (1 monitor and 24
routers); SE7xxx/8xxx controllers are routers.

● A ZigBee node (MPM or room controller) should not control more than 10
peripheral end devices.

Schneider Electric - SmartStruxure™ Lite solution Training 32

ZigBee network design guidelines

● Range between controllers

● Theoretical range: up to 500 m in line of sight
● Real-life range: 50 m with typical obstacles

● Limit ZigBee groups to 24 router nodes and 1 coordinator.

● Neighboring groups should be on different ZigBee channels to minimize

interference

Schneider Electric - SmartStruxure™ Lite solution Training 33

ZigBee network design guidelines (cont’d)
● Line of sight
● Always plan for line of sight between controllers
●Tip: To go around obstacles, insert another node.

● Always plan for route redundancy

●A node should always have at least two controllers within range

● ZigBee in controllers
● High power: 18dbm (63 mW)
● Internal or external antenna
●External antennas MUST be used if placing the controller inside
of a metal enclosure.

Schneider Electric - SmartStruxure™ Lite solution Training 34

Why have we chosen EnOcean?
● Energy harvesting:
● No wires
● No batteries
● Self-powered
● Basically, most EnOcean products generate their own power

● Energy harvesting devices make deployments easy

● Faster deployment
● Little labour required
● Devices can be moved around as the configuration of a space or building
changes
