RADIO SYSTEM ON ZigBee® TECHNOLOGY

GENERAL FEATURES

Introduction to the Radio system
on ZigBee

®

technology

The Radio system is particularly suitable for medium-sized
installations and for refurbishments.
Making the system does not involve special masonry work
and allows future expansions.
The Radio Legrand ZigBee

®

System uses the ZigBee®
transmission technology based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard
for Wireless personal area network (WPAN).

This international communication standard works on the
frequency of 2.4 GHz.
The ZigBee

®

protocol is particularly suitable for HOME
AUTOMATION applications because it features simplicity of
management and safety for the people using it.

RADIO SYSTEM ON ZigBee® TECHNOLOGY

GENERAL FEATURES

Inside the Radio system Legrand ZigBee® System there are
two types of device:

Devices connected to the load or switch
Control-only devices

DEVICES CONNECTED TO THE LOAD

The devices connected to the load must be installed in flush­mounted boxes and connected to the 240 V a.c. electrical
mains and to the load to be controlled.
These devices receive the commands sent to them and send
the commands to other devices.

CONTROL-ONLY DEVICES

These devices are installed on the wall in any point of the
home or office. They are battery supplied and send the
commands to the “connected to the load” devices associated
to them.

RADIO SYSTEM ON ZigBee® TECHNOLOGY

GENERAL FEATURES

The ZigBee

®

network

The ZigBee® network uses the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for wireless personal area network.
The standard works on the frequencies from 2.4 to 2.4835 GHz. These frequencies, which are open throughout the world (with
transmission level limitation) are used for other transmission protocols (such as Bluetooth, Wi-fi...).

Three different types of device must be considered when creating a ZigBee

®

network.

ZigBee® End Device

Devices which only perform the basic
functions, dialoguing with Coordinator and
router and which cannot transmit data from
other devices.

The battery-supplied devices (switch control,
shutter switch control, dimming control,
4-scenario control, pocket and advanced
remote control).

ZigBee® Router

Devices which act as intermediate router
passing the data from and to other devices.

The devices connected to the electrical power
supply (switch, shutter switch, dimmer
integration module).

ZigBee® Coordinator

Forms the root of a ZigBee® network and can
work as bridge between several networks.
Each network can only have one Coordinator.
It can save information on the network to
which it belongs and can act as deposit for
the safety keys.

A device to be chosen from the ZigBee®
Routers. If the system has the SCS/ZigBee

®

gateway it must be the ZigBee

®

coordinator.

2 operations are necessary to make a system with the Radio system:

 Creation of the network and integration of the devices
 Association of the devices

IV-13

ARTEOR TECHNICAL GUIDE

RADIO SYSTEM ON ZigBee

®

TECHNOLOGY

A network created in this way allows:

 2-way communication between the devices
 Increase of the communication distances between two bridges
 Possibility of transmitting information even when devices are faulty or temporarily out of service

The same procedure can be used to associate one switch to another switch. In fact the switches, as well as controlling the load
associated to them (physical ON – OFF) can also control by radio the load connected to another switch.

Note: a switch switches the load connected to it ON and OFF, when the ON – OFF KEY is pressed, even if it is associated to
another switch.
