DSX2558 Datasheet, PDF (2/8 Pages) Amphenol Corporation – RF Mesh Networking technology provides reliable real time process data. Uses global 2.4 GHz RF frequencies

SmartMesh^® Technology
Mesh networking technology is proven in many harsh
environment applications. Its implementation in
the Kaye product line allows up to 100 nodes to be
connected in a seamless, reliable and self forming
mesh network. The mesh technology permits nodes
to communicate with the base station and each
other, correcting for weak RF links and automatically
adjusting to dynamic RF environment, e.g. a forklift
truck driving into a warehouse blocking a signal.
Interference from WiFi and other existing industrial RF
networks is removed due to the frequency hopping
features. No special knowledge or expertise is required
to install or operate the Kaye RF ValProbe.

Data Redundancy
The RF SmartMesh Technology provides a very
secure, reliable transmission; however there are
circumstances where RF transmission is blocked, either
by placement of a logger of some intermittent physical
or radiofrequency blocking of the signal. The loggers
store up to 10,000 samples per sensor permitting the
operation as a data logger if RF communication is not
possible, e.g. one logger placed in a warehouse exhaust
HVAC duct. The logger will resume transmitting data
once it is in RF communication with the base station or
other logger.
Secure Data
There are multiple levels of transactional and data
security built into the RF ValProbe system.
1. Only Kaye RF ValProbe nodes are permitted to join
a RF ValProbe network through the use of private
keys and login registration information exchanged
between the Base Station and RF ValProbe nodes at
startup.
2. All data transmitted on the network is protected
using secure keys, preventing non-authorized base
stations or nodes eavesdropping on the data or
feeding nonauthorized data into the network.
3. All data is timestamped, and identified by sending
the logger’s serial number. All data and meta data
associated with a qualification study is stored in a
single secure, tamperproof file.
4. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks are prevented by
Message Integrity Codes.
Automatic Network Formation and
Optimization
SmartMesh networks are self forming and self-
optimizing Every node can discover neighbors,
measure RF signal strength, acquire synchronization
and frequency hopping information, and establish
best paths and links with neighbors. This ability to
dynamically reconfigure is dictated by RF connectivity
and/or network performance requirements.
