System components

System overview

The infrastructure consists of sensors and actors, Access Points, Sensor Bridge software and interface connections to other computer systems, as shown in the picture (System overview) above.

Access Points

Access Points are the wireless infrastructure to receive RF (radio frequency) signals of all sensors and actors and transmit them to the Sensor Bridge. They also send acknowledge radio signals to the sensors and actors to ensure a reliable exchange of information.

Sensor Bridge

The Sensor Bridge is equipped with a web interface to configure, manage and monitor the entire infrastructure of Access Points, sensors and actors as well as the Sensor Bridge itself.

Interfaces

Connection interfaces like HTTP:POST, REST:API and Modbus TCP are included in the Sensor Bridge to access the system from third party ERP and IT systems. The connection interfaces also allow external systems to configure, manage and monitor the entire system.

Switches and actuators

Several battery-powered, low-energy signal transmitters for a wide range of applications and a very power-efficient relay receiver.

Access Points

Access Points are radio signal receivers for the switches and actuators. They forward information to the Sensor Bridge. There may be several Access Points within one sWave.NET installation.

Sensor Bridge

The Sensor Bridge bundles signals received by the Access Points and provides information via several standard protocols. It provides a graphical user interface to configure and monitor the whole sWave.NET infrastructure.
