Open Wireless Network (Standard Configuration); Closed Wireless Network (Group) - Dräger X-zone 5500 Notice D'utilisation

Up to 25 devices can be connected on a wireless network via
a wireless connection.
The typical radio range is up to 100 m in industrial
surroundings (environmental factors may affect the range).
The devices can be operated in a chain, star or ring topology.
It is possible to establish an open radio network or independent
radio networks. All devices
automatically connected.
4.1 Open wireless network (standard
configuration)
With an open wireless network, up to 25 X-zone devices can
be added to or removed from a wireless network number.
4.1.1 Independent radio networks
If independent radio networks are required, different network
numbers need to be assigned for the relevant radio networks
(see Chapter 11 on Page 60).
Example:
Two independent wireless networks, each with three X-zone
devices, should be created. To do this, the Dräger CC-Vision
PC software should be used to set NET:001 for three X-zone
devices and NET:002 for three further X-zone devices.
4.1.2 Sub-networks:

3
1 Sub-network 1
2 Sub-network 2
3 E. g. steel wall, wall, HGV, etc.
Sub-networks are created via an unintentional division of the
open network into two or more radio networks. This can occur
if the user is running two activated X-zone (with the same
network number). This means that the devices have
permanently interconnected
(communication LED is lit in green). This means that the user
can no longer tell whether or not the wireless connection is
already set up with the devices already installed. To avoid sub-
networks, the X-zone devices should always be set up and
switched on in succession.

Closed wireless network (group)

With a closed wireless network a main device monitors the
radio connections with all the group devices and all the group
devices monitor the radio connections with the main device.
When a device fails, e. g. as a result of a flat battery or removal
of a device, an alarm is triggered in the main device. If the main
device fails, an alarm is triggered in all the group devices.
