Open Communication

Standards

The 7 OSI Layers

The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Model was developed by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in the 1980s as an attempt to make communication between any two systems possible.

Before this, every equipment manufacturer implemented its own set of rules (protocols). Therefore, two computers made by different companies could not "understand" each other.

Where Does ZigBee Fit?

ZigBee – A Growing Standard!

“Low power wireless sensing and control markets, enabled by ZigBee, are experiencing exponential growth. Today, ZigBee chipset suppliers are shipping tens of millions of

units and the market is poised to grow to hundreds of millions of units within the next few years. Our research with more than 600 companies has found that the ZigBeemarket has "crossed the chasm" and is now a mainstream technology. Despite a

challenging economy, 802.15.4/ZigBee unit sales have increased an average of 62% per year since 2007. Moreover, chipsets using ZigBee specifications made up 75% of

the 802.15.4 shipped units in 2009.”

Commissioning a System• Commissioning Plan

– RF Mapping Plan for Network Planning• Important to plan the optimum number and positions for the Base

Stations (Gateways) to achieve proper radio coverage. Radio planning tools should be used that make use of geographic terrain and clutter data and radio propagation models.

• The radio model / map is then used in conjunction with a site survey with local authorities and contractor staff to confirm Base Station sites and document installation details.

Typical Radio Mapping

• Asset list and information• Commissioning Training – Before starting

installations! • Dimming profiles for each type fixture (response to

0-10 v dimming signal is not typically linear)• Operational Training – make sure user’s

expectations are realistic• The better the planning, the better the system.

Commissioning

The endpoints (nodes)of a mesh network mustbe installed starting close to the coordinatorin order to maintain the mesh.

The endpoints of a star network can be installed randomly throughout the coverage area.

Control System Features• Monitoring / Maintenance

• Reduce Night Inspections• Diagnose Faults• Reduce Repair Times

• Trimming (Constant Lumen Output)• Eliminates Over-Lighting

• Selective Dynamic Dimming• Save Energy in Off-Peak Periods

• Metering• Insures Energy Savings From Utilities

Monitoring

• Diagnose• Lamp Failures and Cycling• Driver/Ballast Failures• Power Failures• Energy Usage Changes• Lamp Life and Driver Warranty History

Trimming(Constant Lumen Output)

• Reduces Wattage in Early Life Stages and Maintains Optimum Lumen Output

• As the Light Engine / Lamp Ages, Wattage is Gradually Increased to Maintain Optimum Lumen Output

Dimming

• 0-10 VDC• Simple and Reliable• Requires Dimming Driver/Ballast• Most common in U.S.

• DALI• Developed for Indoor• Offers 2-Way Communication• Widely Used in Europe (HID)

Metering

• Dimming streetlights can save up to 30% in energy

• Utilities need a reliable metering method to credit cities for this energy savings

Metering• Utilities are requiring a minimum ± 2% accuracy

• On-board power meter chipset• Not an algorithmic estimation

• Must measure accurately in a• Steady-state• Dim modes

• San Jose, San Francisco• MSSL (Controls Task Force Spec.)• NEMA, NIST-SGIP, ANSI

User InterfacesField Level

RF Communication Interface (IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee Protocol)Enables the luminaire controller to control the LED driver

Gateway LevelCommunication interface to the management serverManages and stores information from the field controllers

Server LevelScalable database (Microsoft, Oracle, SAP)Webserver applicationProvides a graphical user interface (GUI) reachable with a standard webbrowser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.)

Build the wireless communication and management system

Supports:• Continuous live data between

gateway router and luminaire controllers

• Data is stored at the gateway router level and uploaded to the server database on demand or on a pre-defined schedule

• Field initiated communication requests is established between the gateway controller and server through configuring IT services (SNMP) to send alarm notifications (text message, email, etc.)

User Interfaces

Web Interface• Standard user/role permission configuration• Permissions set for user/groups•Monitoring• Reporting• Configuration•Administration

• Special rights for manual commands and expert views

Graphical User Interface

Used during commissioning to locate luminaire controllers and gateway routers on mapping software
