Z WAVE

What is Z WAVE???
Z-Wave is an efficient,
lightweight wireless technology
designed for residential control
applications.

Z wave working

Makes appliances remote controllable.

Uses common language to communicate.
Adopted to almost any electronic device.
All devices can be used in a single event.
Event includes major or minor operations.

Getting started with Z-wave

can start with a basic kit to control one task.
Depending on usage tasks can be multiplied.
Based on the signal strength, range(distance)
of tasks can be expanded.
A max of 232 devices are supported by a
single network.
Networks can be interconnected.

What is a Mesh Network?

Collection of nodal points forms mesh network.
medium for 2-way communication b/w devices.
Each device can send or receive signal from
peer devices
Commands travel through mesh nodes.
Two types of nodes.
1) AC supplied.
2) Battery powered.

provided with nodes to
enable signal transmission
every where.

Setting a Z-wave network

A Main controller is first established.
Devices to be connected are detected.
They are equipped with Z-wave hardware and
software.
Now these devices are paired and added to
the network .
Each device works as per the instructions of
the controller.

What is routing?
Z-Wave is a routing protocol, which allows
commands to be routed from one node to
another until the command reaches its enddestination. This feature is very useful to
extend range, and is also used to route
commands around sources of interference.
The result is a very reliable and robust
network that can provide full home and yard
coverage.

 What is Z-Waves range?

While environmental factors such as home
construction affect the maximum communication
lengths between two Z-Wave devices, you can
expect around 90 feet indoors, and up to 300 feet
outdoors in the open. Because Z-Wave is a
routing technology, one Z-Wave device can
pass the signal along to another until the final
destination is reached. This relay system greatly
extends overall range of the network.

What is contained in a Z-Wave

single chip

A Z-Wave single chip is a highly integrated mixed-signal

system-on-chip. The main blocks are:
- Radio transceiver
- Microprocessor
- 32kB flash memory, containing the Z-Wave protocol
and the application
- System interfaces, including digital and analogue
interfaces to connect external devices such as sensors.
- A 3DES engine to ensure confidentiality and
authentication (100 series)
- Triac controller, to reduce the module cost of
dimming applications

 Radio specifications:
Bandwidth: 9,600 bit/s or 40 kbit/s, fully
interoperable
Modulation: BFSK
Range: Approximately 100 feet (or 30 meters)
assuming "open air" conditions, with reduced range
indoors depending on building materials, etc.
Frequency band: The Z-Wave Radio uses the 900
MHz ISM band: 908.42MHz (United States);
868.42MHz (Europe); 919.82MHz (Hong Kong);
921.42MHz (Australia/New Zealand).

How fast does data move over a Z-Wave

network?
The Z-Wave protocol is designed to run at
9600 bits per second. A typical control
instruction to switch or dim a light is only a
few bytes in length, and so response times are
very fast.

 Z-Wave operates on a variety of sub-GigaHertz frequencies

throughout the world:
Australia: 921.42 MHz
China: 868.42 MHz
CEPT*: 868.42 MHz
India: 865.22 MHz
Japan: 951-956 MHz
Hong Kong: 919.82 MHz
Malaysia: 868.10 MHz
New Zealand: 921.42 MHz
Singapore: 868.42 MHz
UAE: 868.42 MHz
USA/Canada: 908.42 MHz
Brazil: 908.42 MHz
