ZigBee network expansion #

An example of how to expand a ZigBee network using multiple LogicMachines.

A LogicMachine with a ZigBee interface is limited to 50 ZigBee devices. But what if there are more devices, or the distance between them is too long to connect to a single ZigBee coordinator?

Then it is possible to use multiple LogicMachines with ZigBee interfaces.

Each LogicMachine's ZigBee coordinator uses a separate Channel, PAN ID and Network Key.

Add ZigBee devices to each LogicMachine.

To manage ZigBee devices, create different group addresses so that they do not overlap in two LogicMachines.

Assign a common backbone key for KNX/IP Secure routing.

Duplicate all group addresses that need to be managed.

As a result, a single LogicMachine can manage all ZigBee network devices using KNX/IP Secure routing.
