Greenologic introduces the idea of Plug & Play Network.

Using a ZigBee wireless network for which the installation and the commissioning is fast, simple and no specific skills are required

The main cost of any building-services project is now labour. Building-management systems (BMSs) are no exception, and typically 40-60% of the project cost is for wiring alone.

ZB Connection provides high-quality solutions for transforming and replacing devices used in automation systems to transmit information wirelessly. Whether it is a new installation or an expansion of an old one, wireless ZigBee technology delivers reliable information transmission without the need of expensive cabling.

Key Features
ZigBee technology Standard ModBus interfaces into ZigBee network No ZigBee and RF skills required Quick and low-cost installation Complete family of sensors and actuators Portable handheld diagnostic tool available Client module for OEM devices Third party ModBus devices can be connected

A gateway connects computers, SCADA systems and other monitoring systems to the ZigBee network utilizing Modbus protocols and RS-232, RS-485, USB or Ethernetconnection

Protocol converter from Modbus/RTU to ZigBee Coordinator function for a ZigBee network Transparent bridge towards other ModBus devices

Its function is to extend the radio range of devices making it possible to cross obstacles or long distances; it can also act as a parent device for battery powered sensors of the same family

Repeating ZigBee messages between devices with poor link or out of coverage Routing function RF power 1mW 10mW

The bridge has the main function to connect through a ZigBee network one or more Modbus slave devices equipped with RS485 interface to one of the gateways of the 4-Noks product family. In this way the PLC or PC-SCADA connected gateway can communicate with Modbus slave devices eliminating wire installation. It can also act as a repeater and a parent device for battery powered sensors

Connecting Modbus devices to the ZigBee network Using Modbus/RTU protocol and RS485 interface Routing function

In order to maintain an "open system", a ZigBee Bridge has been developed, this device lets you connect to a third party Modbus Master via the ZigBee wireless network, devices using the Gateway, Bridge and other 4 Noks modules.

Various wireless, configurable and battery-operated detectors and control units: - temperature, lighting and humidity detectors - digital and analogue detector inputs - relay controller units - pulse, phase and hall-effect detectors

It is equipped with an optical input that can be connected to an electricity meter, this input controls an incremental counter.

Its task is to acquire inputs and send the data it acquires and generates to a compatible Gateway at regular intervals. The device requires an uninterruptible 12/24 Vdc (or 12/24 Vac) power supply.

It is capable to count pulses emitted from flow rate meters (water, gas, electricity) and to measure the temperature from both the 2 on board NTC inputs. Pulse counters and temperature samples are sent at regular intervals to a gateway of 4-noks products family.
Battery Powered version

Moreover, if temperature sensors are installed into an hydraulic circuit in the inlet and outlet pipes this device can send the difference between them.

These products use ZigBee mesh wireless technology to reliably pass information around a site by using multiple, self organising, communication paths. This allows energy consumption to be

Introducing Appliance Level Monitoring & Control

ZigBee technology Standard ModBus interfaces into ZigBee network Monitor & control at the appliance level Full control and scheduling features Built-in energy & cost counters Unique, patented technology for controlling pilot wire enabled electric heaters Enables further cost and energy savings on existing systems mini BMS solution for smaller projects

With administrative tools it is easy to analyse the current state of the network using a dedicated Pc-software or a handheld analyser.

Z-CONFIG (PC Software) allows the analysis of ZigBee networks, allows you to view graphically the quality of radio connections between routers that make up the network. You can easily Identify weakness in a network, therefore it represents a useful tool in the test phase of the installation.

Z-HANDZER powerful handheld tool with unique features that reduce time for deploying and commissioning ZB Networks. Displays RF strength of the Gateways and Routers in order to check if one point has network coverage and can be used to deploy a ZigBee device
