6.1. WD System Basic Information
6.1.1. About the WD Wireless Network
The WD wireless network operates on the IEEE802.15.4. (ZigBee) compliant 2.4. GHz frequency. Although it runs on the same 2.4. GHz frequency as a wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), because it conforms to IEEE802.15.4. the WD wireless network can operate without a wireless LAN. However, if the frequencies you use overlap, the WD wireless network could experience transmission delays and other communication issues.
The wireless communication is encrypted. The encryption standard used is AES- CCM (Advanced Encryption Standard-Counter with CBC-MAC), with an encryption key of 128 bits.

6.1.2. About Selecting a Wireless Channel
The WD wireless network uses 16 wireless channels (CH11 to CH26). Select a wireless channel to avoid conflict with the frequency band of the LAN wireless channels in your installation
environment. The relationship between frequency bands of channels on the WD wireless network and on the wireless LAN is as
follows.

Wireless Data Acquisition System Instruction Manual

6. Before Use

6.1.3. About Grouping and ExtendedPanID
The WD system requires using [ExtendedPanID] to group each WD wireless network (one WDR with multiple connected WDT). The ExtendedPanID consists of 16 single-byte, alphanumeric characters. Setup range: 0000 0000 0000 0000 to FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFE.
You can use any combination of WDT-5E-Z2, WDT-6M-Z2, WDT-4LR-Z2, WDT-5LR-Z2, WDT-6LR-Z2, and WDT-6LR-Z2-PRO.
The following illustrate how you can set the ExtendedPanID and wireless channels for devices in multiple groups.

WD Network

Group 1

[WDT and WDR Common Settings] ExtendedPanID: 0000 0000 0000 0001 Wireless Channel: CH15

WD Network

Group 2

[WDT and WDR Common Settings] ExtendedPanID: 0000 0000 0000 0002 Wireless Channel: CH20

Group 3

[WDT and WDR Common Settings] ExtendedPanID: 0000 0000 0000 0003 Wireless Channel: CH26

WD Network

Group 4

[WDT and WDR Common Settings] ExtendedPanID: 0000 0000 0000 0004 Wireless Channel: CH15

WD Network

Group 5

[WDT and WDR Common Settings] ExtendedPanID: 0000 0000 0000 0005 Wireless Channel: CH20

WD Network

Group 6

[WDT and WDR Common Settings] ExtendedPanID: 0000 0000 0000 0006 Wireless Channel: CH26

If there are multiple channels available for selection, you should use separate wireless channels for each group. By distributing groups over multiple channels, you can reduce the load concentrated on a single wireless channel.
CAUTION
When there are multiple WDR in your system, do not use the same value for the ExtendedPanID. The product may not operate properly. When the WDT ExtendedPanID is 0000 0000 0000 0000 (default value), regardless of the ExtendedPanID setting all the WDR may be grouped together. In this scenario, because the grouped wireless network is not stable, set any value other than 0000 0000 0000 0000 during configuration. When the WDR ExtendedPanID is 0000 0000 0000 0000 (default value), the WDR MAC address (IEEE address) operates as ExtendedPanID. In this scenario, because ExtendedPanID operates with a value that is different from its set value, it is recommended to set any value other than 0000 0000 0000 0000 (default value) during configuration.

6.1.5. How many WDT you can connect to WDR
The number of WDT units you can connect to a WDR is limited by the frequency of information sent to the WDR. The average of all transmissions from all WDT connected to the WDR is limited to 240 or less per minute (transmission interval of 0.25 seconds or longer). To satisfy this condition, use the following table as a guide and determine the number of connected units.

6.1.6. About Maintain Signal Tower Status
Both the WDT and WDR can temporarily save information internally. Temporarily saved information is transmitted from WDT to WDR, and from WDR to host, in order from oldest to newest. The maximum amount of Information that can be saved temporarily is 32 for WDT, and up to 1000 for WDR connected to WDT.
Point
When the maximum number of information is exceeded, information is deleted beginning with the oldest. When power on the WDT or WDR is shut down, the information is deleted.

6.2.1. Installation Environment Main Points
There are five essential points to consider at installation.

No.

Description

References

There is no influence in radio waves at the installation 1 site. Also, the radio waves at the installation site do not
change over time.

“6.2.3. About the Influence of Surrounding Radio Waves” (page 38)

The distance between devices (WDR, WDT) does not 2 exceed recommendations. The recommended distance
between all WDT and WDR is within line of sight.

“6.2.2. Distance Between Devices” (page 37)

Each device (WDR and WDT) is in line of sight. To ensure 3 good line of sight, the location should not be cluttered and “6.2.4. Ensuring Line of Sight” (page 39)
should be free of any obstacles.

Placement of WDR is appropriate.

4

Install in a location as high as possible. Install away from obstacles that could disrupt radio

waves.

“6.2.5. WDR Installation Position and Obstacles” (page 39)

Each device is always powered, and the mesh network is

5

always available. If power is not available for one of the WDT, the communication path could get interrupted and

information may not be transmitted.

6.2.2. Distance Between Devices
Place the WDT within a 20 m radius (recommended line-of-site distance) of the WDR. If more distance is required, add another WDT to act as a relay.

6.2.3. About the Influence of Surrounding Radio Waves
If the WD wireless network is affected by radio interference from electronics, microwave ovens, or other manufacturing equipment, normal operation may not be possible. Check the radio wave environment before installation and confirm there is no radio interference on the wireless radio bands you are planning to use.

Causes of Radio Interference

Description

Other wireless devices

Wireless devices using the same frequency or frequencies in the same neighborhood.

Noise from other equipment

Noise caused by power supply circuits, electronic circuits, or oscillators.

Noise from the surroundings

Noise from motors and engine equipment Noise from transmission lines, power supply equipment,
and industrial equipment. Noise from microwave ovens and fluorescent lamps.

Surrounding obstacles*

Interference caused by phasing with own radio waves.

*Various obstacles (wall, floor, ceiling, pillar, equipment) may exist in the installation environment. The reception of radio waves changes depending on the relationship between the position of each device (WDR, WDT), obstacles, and the surrounding environment. As shown in the figure below, radio waves transmitted from a single point are delivered to each device (WDR, WDT) from multiple directions, such as when radio waves travel in a direct line, and when radio waves reflect off obstacles. Radio wave interference could be caused by this scenario, and operation may not be possible due to canceling radio waves.
