SonNet Wireless System Deployment
A
SonNet Wireless system is comprised of a receiver, battery powered sensors and permanently powered routers.
Routers, though permanently powered, can also have sensing elements, accomplishing both router and sensors functions. Routers and sensors can either
communicate directly with the receiver or via other routers. Routers are required to be permanently powered as they need to stay “awake” at all times to
allow signals from “child” nodes to be instantly forwarded to their “parent” nodes. Battery powered sensors only “wake” for very short periods to send data.
In the schematic to the left, routers R2 to R7 have 5 children each,
all battery powered sensors. Their parent is the receiver. Router
R1 has 8 children and R8 has 4 children, giving a total number
of network devices of 51, including the receiver.
There can be a maximum depth of 8 layers of routers in a network
and a maximum of 50 nodes per network with the RF-RX series
of receivers.
Note that battery powered devices can only route their signals to the receiver directly or through routers, and not through other battery powered devices.
The receiver can support a maximum of 16 directly connected
“child” devices, of which only 12 can be battery powered nodes,
plus up to 4 routers.
Routers can support a maximum of 16 directly connected “child”
devices, of which only 8 can be battery powered nodes, plus up
to 8 routers.
