INNCOMȱPCȬ502.2ȱDatasheetȱ
Overviewȱ
The INNCOM PC-502.2 wall mounted module can be used to expand the range of a Layer-2 RF network or provide the protocol gateway from INNCOM S5-bus to Layer-2 RF protocol.
In the Layer-2.2 802.15.4 Zigbee 2006 mesh network, the PC-502.2 is designed to patch areas within the network where signal strength is lost due to distance limitations or interference. It also serves to create multiple pathways, increasing the redundancy of the mesh communications to ensure maximum network reliability.

Ranges are determined by performing an RF link quality test using e528.3G thermostats as the transmitter and the PC-502.2 as the receiver. The maximum distance threshold is based on a 95% overall link quality. Outdoor ranges were conducted in a low noise, free air environment. Indoor ranges are for reference. Indoor ranges are affected by the ambient environmental noise floor and building construction materials.
NetworkȱTopologyȱ
Figure 2 PC-502 Layer-2 Topology
In this application, the PC-502.2 in participation with the e529.RF provides the Layer-1 to Layer-2 RF Bridge where both wireless in-room and wireless back-end networking are required. The PC502.2 can also patch areas within the Layer-2 network where signal strength is lost due to distance limitations or interference.
