The total number of wireless devices allowed on any one PAN (Personal Area Network) or managed by a single Supervisory Controller is dependent on site requirements and general construction variables conducive to supporting wireless networks. A typical wireless system consists of these limits:
Note: Refer to the applicable WRG1830/ZFR183x Pro
Series Wireless Field Bus System Technical Bulletins (LIT-12013553,
LIT-12013796) for more information.
- Up to 8 WRGs for each Supervisory Controller (FX80/SNC dependent)
- Up to 35 WEFCs for each WRG
- Up to 100 WEFCs for each Supervisory Controller (FX80/SNC dependent)
- Up to 8 WRZ or NSW8000 Sensors paired to each WEFC
- Up to 100 combined WEFC and WRZ/NSW8000 Sensors for each PAN
- Add additional repeaters as required without adding to the 100 total WEFC/WRZ/NSW8000 limit. A good rule is to keep the number of repeaters on a PAN to less than 10% of the overall wireless device count.
