1 SenzaNET

SenzaBlock is always operated as part of a wireless device network running the SenzaNET protocol.
This chapter gives a basic overview of SenzaNET, the devices involved, terminology and features.
Please refer to your SenzaWMS manual for more detailed information.

1.1 Communication in SenzaNET

The gateway (SenzaCoordinator/SenzaGate) is the network master, responsible for all
communication to/from the wireless network.
Hence, all communication to any network node is done through the gateway. This is possible either
via the SenzaWMS, the SenzaNET programming interface or through Field-Bus interfaces.

1.2 Network Elements

1.2.1 SenzaBlock

SenzaBlock represents the basic component of SenzaNET. SenzaBlock has mesh networking
capabilities and can interface with devices (e.g. sensors, actuators) at the same time.
SenzaBlocks are available from E-Senza Technologies in different variations for a multitude of
applications.
As adapter-devices or built-in modules, they enable all kinds of sensor and actuator devices to be
controlled wirelessly and exchange data through a self-organizing wireless mesh network with ultra­low power consumption.

1.2.2 Gateway

SenzaNET supports integration of the Wireless Network with existing systems or products through
the gateway. You always need a network master to communicate to or from the SenzaBlock. It can
be a SenzaCoordinator or a SenzaGate. They not only support Network Layer functionality but also
provide interfacing to upper layers.
The gateways are available for a multitude of industrial interfaces: Ethernet, Serial, Modbus,
Profibus etc.

1.2.3 SenzaWMS

SenzaWMS is the software-suite accompanying SenzaNET. It provides a very friendly user-interface
for a comfortable administration of the wireless network and monitoring of each individual node.
With SenzaWMS, multiple networks can be managed in parallel, networked devices can be re­configured, alarm messaging and data acquisition are automated. Comprehensive software-APIs and
data-export options allow seamless integration into existing IT-infrastructures.

2 SenzaBlock SB110-AI

SenzaBlocks of the SB1x0 product family are integrated measurement transducers and wireless data
transmitters. They provide interfaces to standard sensors and field devices allowing them to
communicate wirelessly using SenzaNET.

2.1 Features

SenzaBlock SB110-AI is designed for sensor devices with analog interface. It features an on-board
internal temperature sensor DS75 and two interfaces for connecting external sensors.
The analog interfaces of SenzaBlock SB110-AI can be configured for different analog signals:

• 0-20 mA current loop

• 4-20 mA current loop

• 0-2 V

• 0-10V (operation possible only when externally powered)
