1 VOLUME 14, NUMBER 4 HVAC&R RESEARCH JULY 2008 EDITORIAL: Wireless Networks and Their Applications in Building Automation Systems INTRODUCTION Shengwei Wang, PhD Member ASHRAE In recent years, wireless technologies have provided new options that solve challenging installation constraints and remove physical or financial constraints associated to the hard wiring of building automation systems (BASs). It is widely acknowledged that wireless BASs can have great impacts on facility performance, cost efficiency, and return on investment. Wireless environments easily adapt to changing business needs or new facility requirements. Also, eliminating wiring, and its related efforts, accelerates the installation process and simplifies retrofitting and system extension. Wireless-based systems offer building owners and facility managers more choices and fewer constraints, including (Frost and Sullivan 2005): ease of deployment; cost benefits, scalability of the network; simpler and more flexible system design; faster and less disruptive installations and retrofits; and smoother and less costly migrations staged to accommodate budgets and schedules. Flexibility is the ultimate benefit in deploying a wireless system compared to a wired network. Sensors can be located, or relocated, to optimize system performance; increase customer comfort; and adapt to changing fioor plans. Many wireless technologies and products are available in the current BAS industry, and a number of companies are paid to develop wireless technologies for BAS applications. It is likely that wireless BASs will be popular in BAS installations in the very near future; however, many aspects regarding the technology still need to be addressed. CURRENT WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES ASSOCIATED TO BASs There are many short-range wireless communications technologies available now in information technologies, automation, and other mobile data communication fields. The wireless technologies related to the BAS applications include ZigBee technologies, compliant (WiFi) technologies, Bluetooth technologies, and other proprietary technologies. ZigBee Technologies The ZigBee Alliance developed a network specification that is built upon the IEEE radio. The standard was approved in December 2004 and adds logical network, security, and application software. The standard was created to address the market need for a cost-effective, standards-based, wireless networking solution that supports low-power consumption, low data rates, security, and reliability (Raimo 2007). Potential applications include home automation, building automation, and automated meter reading, as well as industrial monitoring and control. The range of the ZigBee device is about 100 to 300 ft for typical buildings, which makes it well-suited for building automation applications. ZigBee defines multiple network topologies, or configurations star, mesh, or cluster tree, which is a combination of the star and mesh topologies. The most suitable topology varies by Shengwei Wang is a professor'in the Department of Building Services Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong. 529
2 530 HVAC&R RESEARCH facility. Regardless of which topology is used, full-function devices, such as field panels powered by 24 volts of alternating current, can route traffic from other nodes. In contrast, reduced function devices, such as battery-powered, room-temperature sensors, are limited to transmitting and receiving only their own traffic (Raimo 2007). ZigBee operates at multiple frequencies, 250 Kbps at 2.4GHZ, 40 Kbps at 915 MHz (for US markets), and 20 Kbps at 868 MHz (for European markets). It, therefore, occupies the same unlicensed band as WiFi and Bluetooth. WiFi Technologies WiFi technologies are based on the IEEE protocol standard (2.4 GHz) that was designed primarily to promote LAN-based product interoperability and is best suited to LAN-based applications. WiFi is primarily used for TCP/IP traffic on Ethernet connections that require that all devices have a unique IP address. Since wireless BAS field controllers/devices normally need very low data rates, WiFi has no advantage for the applications at field level, and are therefore not suitable at this level. Due to its high speed and TCP/IP compatibility, one potential application of the WiFi standard that does exist for building automation is to establish a wireless connection of an Ethernet-ready field panel to a facility's existing wireless local area network. Bluetooth Technologies Bluetooth is a single-hop, point-to-multipoint technology designed for, and mainly targeted at, ad-hoc short range cable replacement applications, such as wireless keyboards and mobile phone hands-free operations. It can support a limited number of network devices up to eight per network. The data rate and power consumption of Bluetooth radios are less than WiFi and closer to the requirements of building automation applications. Proprietary Technologies There are a number of proprietary wireless solutions, some of which are well-suited for industrial and building automation applications and are a practical solution for many wireless HVAC I/O applications with data rates ranging from 9600 bps to more than 1 Mbps. Several proprietary wireless network systems emerged on top of the IEEE physical and MAC layer standard on which ZigBee is based (Zucatto et al. 2007). So, some proprietary technologies also share many of the same technical advantages of ZigBee, including interference-free, direct-sequence, spread-spectrum transmission and even mesh and mesh-like repeater network protocols. Those digital systems provide reliability, performance, and useable range, along with advanced transmitters capable of a two- to five-year battery life. The advantage of using proprietary solutions is that they can be optimized to a higher degree, for example, to serve relatively small-volume applications. Their disadvantages are higher cost and lack of adequate vendor support for widespread use. APPLICATION OF WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES IN BAS Applications at Different Levels of BAS Field Level. A wireless sensor network needs less bandwidth than a controller network. One can select other lower frequencies to support lower data rates (Ramio 2005). The devices include sensors and actuators. Wireless sensors are battery powered, so they must be power-efficient devices. Their capabilities mainly include reporting of value-changes and response to querying. Most of the time they are idle or sleeping to save power. The power of actuators is not an issue, as it is usually supplied by ac-line power.
3 VOLUME 14, NUMBER 4, JULY Automation Level. A wireless controller network needs wider bandwidth to transmit more data than a wireless sensor network. It likely requires the use of a higher frequency band to support higher data rates. The controllers usually are installed in the place where ac-line power is available. Power supply is not an issue for the applications at this level. The wireless devices can realize more functions at this level, for example, routing messages from one node to another node. Management Level. This level involves computers, network controllers, or other Ethernet-ready devices. The devices at this level usually communicate based on Ethernet, Due to its high traffic and the fact that it is TCP/IP compatible, the WiFi standard can be implemented to establish a wireless connection of an Ethernet-ready field panel to a facility's existing wired or wireless local area network. Some manufacturers provide wireless BAS products based on WiFi in the management/automation level. BAS management level can share a communication network with other information networks, including both wired and wireless networks, WiFi networks are just the infrastructure of the entire building here, not specific for BAS in terms of technology and installation. BAS follows the ever-developing technology in the management level of the information technology field. There the focus in the BAS field is on the development of a wireless network at automation and field (sensor) levels. When a large number of wireless sensors need to be networked, several levels of networking may be combined. For example, an IEEE (WiFi) mesh network comprised of high-end nodes, such as gateway units, can be overlaid on a ZigBee sensor network to maintain a high level of network performance. A remote application server can also be used in the field close to a localized sensor network to manage the network, to collect localized data, to host Web-based applications, etc. (Wang et al. 2006), Products/Technologies and Applications of Wireless BAS In the current market, there are many wireless products used in BASs, including integrated circuits, modules, sensors, actuators, thermostats, controllers, gateways, transparent transmitters by tunneling method, and total system solutions. The majority of them are compliant with ZigBee or IEEE ISSUES OF CONCERN AND FURTHER EFFORTS Wireless technologies, particularly ZigBee, are going to have a large impact on the BAS industry, and wireless building automation is going to be one of the more practical options. However, there is still not a large scope of applications available. Wireless BAS manufacturers have struggled to get users to be more accepting of wireless BAS. But, there are a number of issues/problems that users should be aware of, including reliability, battery life, security, and interference with other wireless networks/devices. Reliability The mesh topology (e.g., IEEE ) provides reliability. Wireless mesh networks combine the reliability of hardwiring with the versatility of wireless networking. In a mesh network, devices are connected with many redundant interconnections among them. Mesh networks are self-forming, which means that the devices automatically configure themselves into a mesh network, establishing communications with as many other mesh devices as possible. Each full function device in a mesh network acts as a sender, receiver, and router. If a transmission from a node hits a roadblock on one data path, the embedded routing capabilities relay the information to a node on an alternate path. This feature allows messages to pass from one device to another via multiple paths. If one path becomes unavailable, the devices have enough intelligence to
4 532 HVAC&R RESEARCH reroute traffic around it. By providing redundant paths of communication, mesh wireless technologies are able to create a highly reliable wireless network when the physical environment changes around it, such as when walls, furniture, people, etc., move within a building (Raimo 2007). Battery Life The basic IEEE 802,15.4 node is ñindamentally efficient in terms of battery performance. One can expect battery lifetimes that last anywhere from a few months to several years because of a host of power-saving modes and battery-optimized network parameters (Versalinks Technologies, Inc ). Many products claim that they can last a few years when using AAA batteries (Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. 2007). However, the battery life of other protocol standards, such as Bluetooth, is typically in the range of months and is still below what is required for most building automation applications. Because there is power at the field panel for the devices based on IEEE , power consumption is not an issue. Security The designers of the technology standards used in wireless IEEE networks were fortunate in being able to address security as part of the design specification. The ZigBee protocol defines security for media access control, network, and application layers. Also, the limited data rates supported by networks are usually not suitable for hacking activities. It is also possible to lock radio networks once they have been set up to prevent new devices from joining (Adaptive Wireless Solutions, Ltd ). Security is certainly a major issue that is of concern to users and should be addressed by BAS developers. Interference with Other Radio Frequency Wireless devices also can be susceptible to radio frequency interference from other wireless networks in the same frequency band, wireless telephones, broadband transmitters, microwave ovens, walkie-talkies, and other unwired devices (Wills 2004). The IEEE standard provides strong reliability through several mechanisms at multiple layers. For example, it uses 27 channels in three separate frequency bands (Versalinks Technologies, Inc ). However, developers and installers of these networks must take care to avoid interference and RF congestion. Practical Site Survey and Evaluation Methods The best way to decide whether a building is a good site for wireless technology, is to use the site survey or measurement. Site survey is easily conducted in retrofit projects. However, some unique challenges exist when it comes to new construction projects. One obviously cannot go to a facility that has not been built and place radios around the facility to gauge how well wireless communications will work. With new construction projects, you have to review the information available and try to reach a conclusion by analysis. This information may include only the general floor layout and the description of building materials. Therefore, practical methods, such as using software evaluation/calculation, are necessary. Compatibility with Legacy Systems This topic is not addressed to discourage existing systems from adopting wireless products. Engineers must figure out how to incorporate wireless solutions for various legacy communications without having to scrap existing equipment. BAS product designers need to analyze the various kinds of installations and design a series of products suitable to different projects, including wireless gateway, wireless tunneling, wireless sensor, wireless controllers, etc.
5 VOLUME 14, NUMBER 4, JULY MARRIAGE OF BACnet AND ZIGBEE During the 2008 ASHRAE Winter Meeting, the BACnet committee put forward the "public review" for ten addenda to the BACnet standard, including Addendum q, to tunnel BACnet over ZigBee wireless networks. This will lead to a significant reduction in the cost of installation at the field and automation level by reducing the amount of wired networking required in a BAS. The needs and benefits of marrying these two technologies are obvious. BACnet already has the object and services model designed for building automation applications, and ZigBee has the wireless capabilities but no object model for building automation. The marriage of BACnet and ZigBee will greatly push the development of wireless BAS. REFERENCES Adaptive Wireless Solutions, Ltd Why not use 802,11 compliant (WiFi) protocols?
