Robustness
ISA100 technology is often deployed in locations with congested wireless channels from pre-existing wireless networks. For this reason, ISA100 was designed with coexistence in mind, so it can deliver optimal performance in the presence of other wireless networks.
The Problem
Sharing the Spectrum – Radios operating in the 2.4GHz ISM band must share frequency in the presence of other RF systems.
The ISA100 Wireless Solution
Channel Blacklist – Automatically avoid congested channels
Frequency/Channel Hopping – Minimizes error by spreading signal over entire available band
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum – Energy spreads so it looks like noise to other systems
Dynamic Power Control – Limits interference
Low-Duty Cycle Operation – Short time-synchronized communication reduces congestion
CSMA/CA (Listen Before Talk) Clear Channel Assessment – Avoids collisions with other radio systems
Frequency Selection – Force operation on specific channels to optimize performance
ETSI EN 300.328 v1.8.1 compliance – ISA100 Wireless is the only industrial wireless network protocol that satisfies this regulation, which went into effect January 1, 2015. Download the ETSI 300.328 v1.8.1 regulation
