ABOUT THE WZZARD SENSING PLATFORM
WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY WHERE YOU NEED IT
The Wzzard™ Mesh intelligent wireless sensor platform makes it quick and easy to connect sensors and
communicate their data to your application, on your network or on the Internet, for visualization, analytics
or integration into business applications.
The Wzzard Mesh platform connects to a vast range of industry-standard sensors. It uses Wzzard Mesh
Wireless Sensor nodes and a wireless SmartMesh IP network to transmit intelligent sensor data to the
SmartSwarm 342 Ethernet Gateway. The gateway can connect to the Internet via wired connections or
the cellular data network.
Wzzard Mesh Wireless Sensors accommodate external sensors with a wide variety of sensor interface
options, including general purpose analog inputs, digital input/output, thermocouples and 10K thermistors.
They can also contain internal sensors like temperature and relative humidity.
SECURE, RELIABLE, HIGHLY SCALABLE WIRELESS NETWORKING
The Wzzard platform uses 802.15.4e wireless SmartMesh IP networking technology to deliver reliable,
resilient and scalable communication with advanced network management and comprehensive security
features. The platform uses full SmartMesh IP networking and time-synchronized channel hopping to
provide up to 99.999% connectivity, even in the most demanding RF environments.
The Wzzard Mesh wireless sensor platform enables rapid network deployment and expansion. New
nodes may be added at any time and the SmartMesh network dynamically self-configures as new nodes
are added or removed. This process is a function of the mesh network itself and does not need to be
controlled by the network gateway.
EASY CONFIGURATION AND INSTALLATION
Configuration of the Wzzard sensor platform is easy. The nodes can be configured with calibration and
scaling information, engineering units, friendly names, and other descriptive information. The MQTT-
JSON protocol is used to transport sensor data from the network gateway to any MQTT broker. MQTT-
JSON is a highly efficient publish/subscribe protocol optimized for sending sensor data over wireless
networks.
The platform simplifies physical installation as well. Wzzard Mesh Wireless Sensors can be attached to
any surface using screws and flange mounting ears. The IP67 rated, fiber reinforced polyester PBT
housing and the ability to connect to external sensors via conduit fitting or M12 connector make the units
deployable in virtually any industrial or commercial environment.
