Maximum transmission time in RingCast - WaveNet
The RingCast also transmits data wirelessly. Wireless transmission is naturally slower than the Ethernet interface. Depending on the protection function selected, the broadcast to the locking devices is also repeated. This results in a total transmission time for the RingCast. You can calculate the maximum transmission time of your RingCast using the following formula:
Transmission time = Number of RouterNodes in the RingCast * Broadcast duration * Number of Broadcasts per RouterNode + forwarding time * Number of RouterNodes in the RingCast
Number of RouterNodes | You can see the number of RouterNodes in the overview (see Overview) or when creating and editing the RingCast (see Adding a RingCast). | |
Broadcast duration | The duration of the broadcast is five seconds. If all LockNodes as well as all RouterNodes in the RingCast support Fast Wake-Up (see Firmware information), the broadcast duration is one second. If a device does not support Fast Wake-Up, you will have to count with five seconds for the calculation. | |
Number of Broadcasts per RouterNode (depending on the response set in ) | Input | No broadcast |
Block lock | 1x (if input acknowledgement is not active) 4x (if input acknowledgement is active) | |
Amok function | 1x | |
Emergency release | 1x | |
Remote opening | 1x | |
Activation | 1x (if input acknowledgement is not active) 4x (if input acknowledgement is active) | |
Forwarding time | The maximum forwarding time is five seconds. The forwarding time depends on the transmission medium (see Transmission paths) and can be shorter. | |
Calculation example (50 RouterNodes) with long broadcast duration and Block lock with input acknowledgement
Transmission time = 50 RouterNodes in the RingCast * 5 s * 4 Broadcasts + 5 s * 50 RouterNodes in RingCast
The transmission time is up to 1000 seconds.
Calculation example (50 RouterNodes) with short broadcast duration and Block lock without input acknowledgement
Transmission time = 50 RouterNodes in RingCast * 1 s * 1 Broadcast + 5 s * 50 RouterNodes in RingCast
The transmission time is up to 300 seconds.
