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.
Fig. 1 SenzaNET System Overview
Manual SenzaBlock SB110-T 1 SenzaNET-Release: V4.0.1

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-T
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-T is designed for Temperature measurement. It features an on-board internal
temperature sensor and an interface for connecting an external 2-wire PT100 sensor. PT100 sensors
are standardized resistors, whose resistor-value changes with temperature. SenzaBlock SB110-T
measures this resistor value and directly converts it into temperature applying the conversion table
defined under DIN EN 60751.
For detailed specifications of SB110-T, please refer to it’s datasheet available at:
http://www.e-senza.de/products/senzablock.html
2.2 Installation
2.2.1 Mechanical Installation
SenzaBlock’s standard enclosure can be wall-mounted using two screws of 4 mm diameter. See
photo and drawings below to locate the screw holes. After mounting SenzaBlock and completion of
electrical installation, make sure the cable gland is properly closed and the front cover is fixed
firmly using its four screws.
Manual SenzaBlock SB110-T 2 SenzaNET-Release: V4.0.1
All dimensions in mm.
Important: Check cable gland, front screws and proper sealing of enclosure to
ensure adequate closure, as this is IP65 protected !
If no cable is used out of the SenzaBlock, the cable gland will not close properly.
Therefore a blanking plug MUST be fitted into the Cable Gland to obtain
IP65 ingress protection !

2.2.2 Electrical Installation
2.2.2.1 Connecting Sensor and Power-supply
SB110-T can be powered either with 2 x 1,5V “AA”-type batteries or with an external power supply,
with a supply-voltage ranging from 12V to 24V. Both power-supply options are connected
differently, please refer to the table below to identify correct connector pins.
The PT100-sensor is connected to SenzaBlocks pins as in table below.
Both external power supply and PT100 connection cables have to be lead through the enclosures
cable glands before being connected.
Manual SenzaBlock SB110-T 3 SenzaNET-Release: V4.0.1
Important: An external power supply must not be connected to Pins
reserved for battery-power. Doing so will damage SB110-T !

2.2.2.3.2 SB110-T with IP54-enclosure (order-code SB110-T-E54)
SenzaBlock’s IP54-enclosure comes with a reverse-SMA
antenna connector (“male”) and an applicable IP54
Antenna. Just plug antenna onto connector and turn it in
clockwise direction until it is fixed tightly. Loose fixing
of the Antenna might affect RF-performance of
SenzaBlock.
2.2.2.3.3 SB110-T with IP65-enclosure (order-code SB110-T-E65)
Additionally to the installation of an IP54-Antenna, SenzaBlock’s IP65-enclosure requires to add a
sealing-washer and a sealing-rubber before putting antenna onto connector. Refer to pictures below
to follow the sequence of installing these parts.

the antenna cable which is connected to the
onboard U.FL connector located on radio
board and to the internal antenna inside the
cover of the enclosure.

For best RF performance SenzaBlock has to be kept or mounted at the highest possible
place (2m height is ideal) with the external antenna pointing to ceiling or sky.
When using the internal antenna, optimal performance is reached when axis of antenna
is oriented horizontally and the antennas surface is in upright position.
See following picture:
2.2.2.4 Software Configuration
Hardware and Software Configuration of SenzaBlock must be consistent for SenzaBlock to function
properly and to make sure that data collected is interpreted correctly by SenzaNET as well as for
output signals to be generated correctly.
SenzaBlock’s must be authenticated in SenzaNET and software-configured to the sensors / devices
connected to it before data is transmitted.
Such configuration is done through the networks’ gateway. You can either use the SenzaWMS
software-suite to do this or send AT-commands to the gateway.
Please refer to the SenzaWMS Manual and/or the SenzaNET Programming Manual.
2.3 Operation
SenzaBlock will mostly be controlled remotely through SenzaNET. To simplify setup and change
procedures, SenzaBlock’s enclosure are equipped with an LED indicator light and two buttons. They
allow to monitor and control some basic functions of SenzaBlock.
2.3.1 LED Indicator Light
The LED-indicator light gives you a quick indication of the SenzaBlocks operational status:
Normal operation: LED shows red when SenzaBlock reads sensor data and/or outputs data
through one of it’s device interfaces.
LED then turns green when data is sent wirelessly.
Network problem: LED blinks red whenever SenzaBlock has lost connection and is scanning for
a neighboring node to re-establish network connection.

When power was removed from SenzaBlock, the Power button
must be pressed to switch SenzaBlock ON after re-connecting
power.
In case of SenzaBlock OEM module without cover and key panel
connected to it, use the onboard button S2 (see picture above)
to switch ON / OFF.
When SenzaBlock is restarted, the configuration parameters set over
ATCommands or over SenzaWMS will be stored and will be active at Start
Up.
