Application
The RadioDuct duct radio system acts as a wireless data link
The system is used whenever laying a bus cable for the connection is very difficult or not even possible. The connection variant has advantages compared to conventional bus cables, especially when it comes to refurbishment and retrofitting.
Depending on the characteristics of the channel system, the radio link range may vary. When using several RadioDuct modules in the duct system, the radio connection is continuously optimised via the module's integrated, self-learning mesh function and frequency hopping. These functions find the best radio path through the duct system for the data packets to be transmitted. For longer distances and branched channel systems, mesh repeaters are available that pick up, amplify and forward the radio signals.

The RadioDuct radio system is used to connect X-AIRCONTROL zone modules to the X-AIRCONTROL zone master via a radio link through ducts. In the process, the X-AIR zone modules can each be equipped with a RadioDuct module as shown in the figure above and send their data to the X-AIR zone master. In addition, the X-AIRCONTROL zone modules in the zone can also be connected in the classical manner by means of a cable. In this case, the first zone module sends the data to the X-AIRCONTROL zone master by radio (see the figure below).
The RadioDuct system uses every other node in the RadioDuct network to get the data to its destination. In contrast to normal networks, the distribution of many nodes throughout the system is even an advantage here. This is because each node in the RadioDuct network forwards the data packets of the other nodes to their destinations. The system independently searches for the best route to the desired recipient. Such networks are known as mesh networks. Furthermore, the required radio power is adapted to the transmission distance. The radio power can assume a maximum value of 100 mW so that the requirements of the applicable radio standards for the 2.4 GHz band are met. To counteract any interference in the frequency band, the RadioDuct module supports automatic frequency hopping. As a result, the respective radio channel with the least interference is selected throughout.
The connection between the RadioDuct slaves and the RadioDuct master is established via a service tool and a simple pairing process mapped therein. The connection and data exchange take place via an encrypted radio channel with 128-bit AES technology. This technology provides high data security and meets the requirements of data protection standards.

Application of RadioDuct module on X-AIRCONTROL zone master
Application
The RadioDuct module connected to the X-AIRCONTROL zone master also serves as the master for the RadioDuct mesh network to be set up. The RadioDuct master coordinates the network setup and receives all data from the field from the zone modules with RadioDuct module and transmits it to the associated X-AIRCONTROL zone master. In addition, the RadioDuct system can be used to connect 2 X-AIRCONTROL zone modules with one another via a radio link. For this purpose, one of the two RadioDuct modules must also act as master, preferably the module that is closest to the X-AIRCONTROL zone master in the bus line (Figure 2 on page 3).

Functions
LED function display
The RadioDuct module contains 3 LEDs in the colours red, yellow and green, which indicate the connection and transmission status. Additional information on this can be found in the installation and operating manual.
Application of RadioDuct module on X-AIRCONTROL zone module
Application
The RadioDuct module connected to the X-AIRCONTROL zone module is located in the radio zone. It integrates itself into a RadioDuct network set up by the RadioDuct master. For this, the RadioDuct zone modules must know the network name and network code of the RadioDuct master. The network name and network code are communicated via a simple pairing process using the configuration software.

Application of RadioDuct module as repeater
Application
The RadioDuct module is integrated into the ventilation duct system as a repeater in order to be able to include longer distances and radio undersupplied parts of the duct system in the RadioDuct network.
