2 Wha is SonNe? SonNe is a complee wireless sensing sysem ha offers several advanages o boh he BMS insaller and end user/occupier of he building. SonNe is an award winning wireless sensing sysem, designed o be a viable alernaive o wired sysems. Wired o Wireless. Typically, an HVAC insallaion would use wired devices o send vial informaion on variables such as emperaure, humidiy and CO2 o he BMS conroller and he conroller would hen use his informaion o operae plan devices in he field such as dampers o inroduce fresh air for cooling and air qualiy improvemen. The SonNe sysem can be used o boh sense and operae plan equipmen hrough he innovaive Inpu/Oupu Module. The wired mehod of insallaion is cosly in boh ime and maerials such as cable. SonNe was developed o offer a cos effecive soluion ha delivers lower oal insalled cos along wih he opporuniy o conrol environmens where wiring would be impossible such as lised buildings. Early versions of wireless sysems in he indusry had given poor performance and herefore made a negaive impac on he repuaion of all wireless sysems. When developing SonNe we knew we had o no only ensure we produced a robus and reliable sysem bu needed o be able o prove his oo. Proving signal srenghs wih he Sie Survey Ki A sie survey ki was designed o prove signal srenghs on insallaions and o specify he equipmen needed for each applicaion. Once he survey is complee, he insaller is provided wih a floorplan of he building, showing he layou of he sysem and where each sensor and receiver should be locaed. The SonNe iems are hen delivered o sie and an ou of he box soluion is ready o be insalled. When SonNe was originally released in 2010 i revoluionised he way people saw wireless sensing in he HVAC indusry. The robus self-healing ree and he abiliy o prove signal srenghs and nework formaion wih he sie survey ki before insallaion ook all of he worry and hassle ou of choosing a wireless sysem raher han a radiional wired one. The iniial release operaed hrough an analogue receiver and moniored emperaure and humidiy only. We worked closely wih our cusomers hrough he launch of SonNe and lisened o heir requiremens for fuure developmen of he range.

3 The Nex Sep The firs addiion o he range was he RF-RXS Nework Serial Driver which provides direc inegraion wih conrollers operaing on Niagara Framework as well as oher conrollers where drivers have been developed. I can operae as a sand-alone device or an opion card which can fi direcly ino any JACE based conroller. An addiional inpu is now available as sandard on all sensors and rouers. This inpu can ake any VFC digial inpu from devices in he field such as pressure or curren swiches. I can also be used for pulse couning and can ransmi informaion from elecriciy, gas, waer and hea meers. The readings can be held in flash memory on he sensor or rouer so if he sensor goes offline, he informaion will be ransmied when i comes back online again. Ongoing Evoluion Following a reques from our cusomers o be able o inegrae more field devices ino he SonNe nework we developed he RF-IOM Inpu/Oupu Module. This inelligen device is used in conjuncion wih SonNe sensors and rouers o ac as local I/O wih conneciviy o ypical HVAC equipmen. I can ake any 0-10Vdc, 4-20mA, resisive or VFC signal from wired devices in he field and ransmi hem o a SonNe RF-RXS receiver. Enhanced Inegraion To allow furher inegraion wih oher BMS insallaions, we have worked wih Synapsys Soluions o inroduce he SonNe powered by SIP range. This produc allows SonNe o simply inegrae wih Trend and BACne sysems. The SIP online engineering and commissioning ool offers quick and simple seup of a complee sysem. Case Sudies Many projecs have benefied from uilising he SonNe sysem, paricularly in applicaions where i would have been impossible o insall a wired sysem such as he Guildhall Ar Gallery or he needs of he building require a sysem ha is easily moved due o layou changes such as he Commonwealh Games Tolcross Swimming Pool. GUILDHALL ART GALLERY TOLCROSS SWIMMING POOL
