EAGLE NETWORK
La communication entre le PC et la Gateway se fait via un câble Ethernet cat 5e, en réseau
local uniquement. Ni le PC, ni la gateway ne peuvent se connecter à un réseau wifi ou
bluetooth environnant, ces services sont complètement arrêtés sur le PC et inexistant sur la
Gateway. Le réseau local de communication est physiquement séparé de tous réseaux
environant.

RADIO COMMUNICATION
1.3.1.
Characteristics
Parler de l’ISA100.11a
L’ensemble des produits utilise la bande de fréquence ISM 2.45GHz. Bande de fréquences
regroupant entre autre le wifi, bluetooth, zigbee... Cependant, la modulation utilisée par la
couche PHY (O-QPSK) ne permet pas de décoder physiquement les données wifi et
bluetooth, seulement les données 802.15.4 PHY.
Les capteurs émettent à +3dBm, soit 2mW et les éléments du réseau (routeur et gateway) à
+13dBm (20mW).
1.3.2.
Radio standard
L’ensemble des produits utilise le protocole radio 802.15.4e. Cela permet d’avoir de base
certaines sécurités quant aux échanges de données entre les différents éléments du réseau
radio. En effet, chaque élément du réseau possède une adresse MAC unique codée sur
64bits. Cette adresse identifie un capteur unique sur un réseau unique. De plus, pour qu’un
élément puisse rejoindre un réseau radio existant, il faut qu’il connaisse l’identifiant du
réseau, codé sur 16bits. Pour encore plus de sécurité, lors d’installation sensible comme en
milieu industriel, il est possible de rajouter une “liste blanche” sur la gateway, qui filtre sur
adresse MAC et n’accepte sur le réseau que les éléments présents dans cette liste.
1.3.3.
Radio coverage
En champ libre, les capteurs peuvent avoir une portée radio d’envrion 100m. En
environnement perturbé, et/ou industriel, la portée dépend énormément de l’environnement
et des essais sur place sont nécessaires. Une portée d’environ 20m est plus réaliste dans ce
type d’environnement. De même que pour les capteurs, la portée radio de la Gateway et des
routeurs est fortement dépendante de l’environnement.

SITE SURVEY
RF planning should be considered from the onset in order to determine the sensor locations
and options for the expanders and gateway installation.
In the vast majority of cases, the RF requirements do not impede the installation of the
sensors but by considering the RF implications from the start a very good first-time success
rate is achieved.
The typical link budget calculations that are used in radio planning are not valid in the vast
majority of industrial environments and accurate RF modelling is far too time consuming to
be practical.
For this reason, the RF planning is simply guided by empirical data gathered from a vast
array of previous installations. A set of best practices are presented which are effortless to
follow and delivers reliable performance without the need for calculations or sophisticated
survey equipment.
1.1.
SITE PLANNING
The very first step is a site planning for RF (radio frequency).
On a site map:



Determine and identify the machines that require monitoring with Eagle sensors,
Determine potential locations for the gateway (allowing connection to the PoE <100m,
power connection <100m).
Estimate the distance from every Eagle sensor to the gateway after the initial survey and
use the table below to determine whether special precautions need to be taken.

1.2.
FIELD TEST
The second step is a field test to verify the reception of the farthest sensors or those with
doubts about their reception because of their situation (metallic surroundings, casing,
guards...) and
Perform a temporary installation in order to try out different gateway options and Eagle
sensors locations.
4.
VERIFY THE PLAN WITH A TEMPORARY (OPTIONAL) INSTALLATION
When the planner is not confident due to inexperience or due to a particularly tricky
installation, it is warranted to perform a temporary installation in order to try out different
Gateway antenna options and Eagle Field Device locations. Typically the Eagles within the
“Just Works!” range are installed permanently from the onset. The remaining Eagles are
temporarily moved to the suspected troublesome locations and their signal strength
monitored using the gateway web application. It is common practice to immediately install
the Eagle permanently once the link quality is confirmed.
The signal strength of every device can be monitored from the web application of the
gateway. It is advisable to improve the signal strength for devices lower than -80dBm.

INSTALLATION PREREQUISITES
2.1.
SAFETY
Refer to safety instructions, safety standards and procedures before installing any device.
2.2.
SITE SURVEY
At this step the site survey is done.
The location of the gateway, sensors and expanders are identified in a site plan and ensure
to each sensor the appropriate radio coverage.
2.3.
FASTENING SUPPORT
The gateway must be placed on a wall or a pole at a height of about 5m [16 ft].
Adequate mounting support has to be installed on site (such as mast) if necessary and can
therefore require the use of support facilities and operations of specific civil engineering if
needed for the configuration of the area.
2.4.
NETWORK AND POWER
The gateway has to be powered and connected to the customer IP network
Prior to installation, the site must be equipped with both power and ethernet connections.
A technical cabinet can be necessary. The link to the customer IP network can be fiber-optic,
copper…

GATEWAY INSTALLATION
The gateway is fully assembled and ready to be deployed upon delivery.
Only one gateway is necessary to ensure the operation of the whole multi-hop wireless
infrastructure. Additional gateway may be necessary depending on
The gateway is linking the wireless network of Eagle devices (ISA100.11a) to an IP network
where the data are processed.
In hazardous environments, the operator has to arrange organizational safety measures
which reliably prevent the occurrence of an ignitable atmosphere, by default reduce the
probability that a flammable atmosphere can occur at all (employing the use of suitable gas
detection systems).
3.1.
LOCATION
The location of the gateway is very important.


It must be placed at a height of about 5m [16 ft].
It must comply with a maximum radius of 100m [328 ft] radio coverage.
The housing face with OneProd logo indicates the embedded antenna location. This face
must be oriented in the direction of the sensors and expanders.
The radio link is sensible to physical obstacles, such as vehicles, tanks, or walls. If the
distance between the gateway and sensors or expanders exceed 100m [328 ft], it may be
necessary to add an additional expander to improve the signal strength.

MOUNT
A damp cloth should be used when installing or taking off the gateway in hazardous areas to
eliminate static electricity resulting from this operation.
The gateway is fixed very quickly on a pole or on a wall using a ball-joint mount
(EGL1208000).
The ball-joint mount is constituted of:


A ball-joint head
Fixed on the bottom of the gateway using M8 screw and bolt.
A ball-joint base
The base is to be pegged on a wall or on a pole.
 The mounting on a pole requires a clamp, nuts and washers.
 The mounting on a wall is done using four screws and anchors.
 The mounting on a structure requires bolts nuts and washers.

An arm
The arm is joining the two ball-joints allowing precise orientation of the gateway.

3.3.
CONNECTION TO THE GATEWAY
The gateway is powered and connected to an IP network by a unique cable (ethernet
category 5e) thanks to a PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector (compliant with 802.11.3af2003).
Prior to installation, the site must be equipped with both power and ethernet connections
where the PoE will be installed. A technical cabinet can be necessary. The link to the
customer IP network can be fiber-optic, copper…
No hazardous on-field cabling!

The ethernet cable must not be connected to the other end.

The operator has to prevent the occurrence of an ignitable atmosphere (employing the
use of suitable gas detection systems).

CONNECTION TO THE POE
Attention le POE doit être hors zone ATEX.
The PoE is preferably located close to the gateway (sauf en zone ATEX)but can be located
at 100m max (Ethernet limitations).
Manage cables by using different colors to differentiate PoE from LAN.
Define a standard that is relevant to your requirements or the one in application in your
company.

SENSOR LOCATION
The sensors are mounted on the equipment to monitor following the rules for vibration
sensor installation.
Leave enough space around the sensor to ensure the best transmission/reception possible
of radio signals. At least 100 mm around the device antenna (plastic cap). If the sensor has
to be installed in tiny spaces, the use of an expander might be a solution to improve the radio
coverage (if necessary).

Step 2.
Ensure a flat surface: remove paint layers.
NOTE: if you use a spot facing tool be sure to not exceed 2 mm depth [0.078 inch].
Create a flat surface on the machine using a 1.25” spot facing tool with a drill bit for
an M8 tap
Do not exceed XX mm depth.
Step 3. Drill a hole (Ø6.8 mm and XXmm depth [Ø 0.28 in – XX in)
Step 4. Thread the hole with M8 tap
Step 5. Screw special M8 stud in the machine
Step 6. Thread the washer on the stud. This washer is necessary to adapt the 1.25’’
spotface depth and diameter to the sensor design.
Step 7. Screw the sensor on the M6 side of the stud until contact without tightening it.
Step 8. Identify orientation of the triaxial sensor axis.
Step 9. Turn the washer to adjust the axis orientation in the chosen direction
Use the dedicated tool for orientation if the dedicated tube wrench is also used.
Step 10. Screw the sensor on the stud and tighten at 5 - 7 Nm [44 - 62 inch-lb] using the
dedicated tube wrench and your handgrip.
NOTE: for a better contact a film of grease/oil can be applied between mounting
surfaces (note the oil/grease must be compatible with the temperature of
the measurement point).
CAUTION: If you use a 44 wrench or an adjustable wrench be careful to observe
the indicated torque range.

Temporary mount
Performing field test during a site survey may require a temporary mount. This allows testing
locations and orientations of the farthest sensors or those with doubts about their reception
because of their situation (metallic surroundings, casing, guards…) to get the best coverage
possible.
A magnetic mount is the best solution in that specific case.
Step 1.
Step 2.
Screw the sensor on the magnetic base using appropriated stud or bolt (M6).
Place the system on the location to test
NOTE: An adapter stud may be required depending on the design of the magnetic base to
allow M6 mount.

EXPANDER INSTALLATION
5.1.
EXPANDER LOCATION
The location of the expanders is very important. It must comply with a maximum radius of
50m radio coverage. It must be located in the coverage of the gateway or of another
expander.
It is best practice to install the expanders at high to improve the coverage. This way the
expander has a clear view of the sensors close to it.
The blue plastic cap is where the embedded antenna is located. It must be oriented in the
direction of the sensors or at least vertically.
The radio link is sensible to physical obstacles, such as vehicles, tanks, or walls. If the
distance between an expander and sensors exceed 50m or an obstacle is present, it may be
necessary to add an additional expander to improve the signal strength.
5.2.
EXPANDER MOUNTING
A damp cloth should be used when installing or taking off the gateway in hazardous areas to
eliminate static electricity resulting from this operation.
Expander shares the same design as sensors. See “Figure 24:

PERIODICITY
Normal use of the product corresponds to a daily measurement and no more than 6
measurements per day.
Below 4h of periodicity (minimum theoretical periodicity is 10 minutes) many parameters can
affect periodicity and battery life.
The numbers of sensors of one network (paired with the same gateway) is a parameter. The
more they are, the larger is the minimum periodicity. This is due to the sum of time needed
for each sensor to send its data.
The signal strength is another parameter. The weakest the signal, the longer the upload.

Temperature: Extreme temperatures makes the electronics use more power and the

Signals: aggressive waveforms configurations or high quantity of signals make data
bigger and increase the transfer duration.
Periodicity: too short periodicity increases the number of measurement requests and
transfers.






2.
Force your computer IP address to the same subnet as the Gateway (ex.:
192.168.0.100) and test whether it responds to pings.
The Gateway has two IP addresses. The configurable and failsafe address
172.17.17.17.
Connect to the web-interface at http://< IP address> (ex. : 192.168.0.112) and log into its
Monitoring and Control Portal with the username and the password provided on the
Factory Settings Report received with the delivery.
The Network / Devices page will display the connected hardware.
The Gateway incorporates 3 ISA100.11a components namely the System Manager,
Backbone Router and Gateway. All three should be present in the Devices list.
The paired and powered field devices should appear in that list.
MONITOR SIGNAL STRENGTH
After the Eagle has joined, the Gateway Backbone will start recording the received signal
strength from every device.

Click on the Backbone’s EUI-64 address on the Network / Devices page and then on the
Neighbours Health tab. Click Refresh.
A list of Eagle Field Devices together with their signal strengths and packet transmission
statistics will be displayed. Note that the information will not be available immediately for a
newly joined device because the Eagle Field Device is designed not to transmit
unnecessarily in order to conserve maximal battery life. Therefore the Backbone requires
some time in order to build up an accurate record of the received signal strength.
A typical installation should aim to have the signal strength of all Field Devices larger
than -80dBm in order to maintain a reasonable fade margin and ensure robust
communication. The following sections provide details of how to plan an installation how to
maximize performance.
Note that the update of this information is not instantaneous and can take up to 5 minutes.
The gateway must test the connection with all the sensors.
The aim is to achieve a signal strength:
above -80 dBm and definitely not below -85 dBm.

Chapter 7
RADIO INSTALLATION GUIDELINE
RF planning should be considered from the onset in order to determine the sensor locations
and options for the Gateway installation. In the vast majority of cases, the RF requirements
do not impede a sound mechanical installation of the Eagle Field Devices but by considering
the RF implications from the start a very good first-time success rate is achieved.
The typical link budget calculations that are used in radio planning are not valid in the vast
majority of industrial environments and accurate RF modelling is far too time consuming to
be practical. For this reason, the RF planning is simply guided by empirical data gathered
from a vast array of previous installations. A set of best practices are presented which are
effortless to follow yet delivers reliable performance without the need for calculations or
sophisticated survey equipment.
1.
INITIAL SITE SURVEY
Conduct the first site survey in order to determine the points that require monitoring and
identify potential Gateway and antenna locations.
Choose the location that offers the smallest distance to the farthest group of Eagle Field
Devices.
Be aware of the RF cable loss if the antenna will be placed far from the Gateway and bear in
mind that every 3dB loss will roughly reduce the range by 30%.
Test the reception of the farthest sensors or those with doubts about their reception because
of their situation (metallic surroundings, casing, guards...).
2.
CHOOSE A SUITABLE ANTENNA
In order to select the correct antenna for the Gateway and ensure a successful installation, a
basic understanding of antenna specifications and how they operate is presented.
2.1.
RADIATION PATTERN
An antenna receives a finite amount of power at its port from the Gateway and focuses this
power when transmitting it according to its “radiation pattern” which is simply describes how
the antenna focuses the transmitted power. The antenna will focus the power more in one
direction than another an important concept to grasp is that when it focused more power in
one direction it has to take that power away from other directions. That is why a higher gain
antenna has a narrower beam width.
In the same narrative, when an antenna is listening more intently in a direction it will have a
diminished “listening” ability in other directions. Antennas also behave according the physical
law of reciprocity, meaning that the focus of an antenna’s “listening” ability is exactly the
same as its transmitting focus. In other words, the “radiation pattern” is identical to its
“reception pattern”.
It is best practice to choose an antenna with a radiation pattern that will focus as much
power in the direction of the Eagle Field Device installation and not waist energy in directions
where there are none. For example, use a sector or panel antenna and not an
omnidirectional antenna if it is located at the one end of all the Eagles.
Some common antenna types are shown below together with an illustration of their radiation
patterns.
Brand of ACOEM
48
Omnidirectional
2.1.1.
Panel antenna
Sector antenna
Polarization
Antenna polarization is another property which the installer must bear in mind especially in
an environment with few obstacles.
A radio wave travelling in free space contains an electric field pointing in a perpendicular
direction to that of the propagation. The orientation of this electric field in the antenna’s main
beam is referred to as the antenna polarization. The electric field is described as either linear
or circular which means that the field is either orientated along a single axis or rotating as the
radio wave passes a point in space.
The Eagle is linearly polarized in the direction of its height and in order to achieve the
maximum range it must be orientated in the same direction as the polarization of the incident
radio wave. It is important to note that due to the prevalence of conductive surfaces in a
typical industrial environment, the incident radio wave polarization is likely not to be as the
purely polarized as the wave emitted in the Gateway antenna. This randomizing of the
polarization due to the interaction with conductive structures is why a good signal strength is
practically always achieved within 30m regardless of the Eagle orientation.
Never-the-less, being cognizant of the effect of polarization is very important and changing
either the Eagle or Gateway’s antenna polarization is one of the tricks discussed later in
order to improve the signal for hard to reach Eagle. The table below lists the signal loss due
to a mismatch in polarization.
