ZigBee 3.0 - connect up to 200 nodes

[jainilshah]

Hi All,

I am working on one customer based project. I need to connect 200 ZigBee devices in ZigBee network.

I am using JN-AN-1216 (JN-AN-1216-Zigbee-3-0-IoT-ControlBridge-v1004) application code and JN517x ZigBee 3.0 SDK (JN-SW-4270). As so far, I am able to accommodate 60 devices in network (within single hop) and it is working as expected.

After that I have changed JN5179 firmware (JN-AN-1216 ControlBridge application) by changing various table configuration (size) (and some changes on JN-AN-1216 application notes) to accommodate 65 devices in network. After this modification, I am able to add only 60 devices in network and not able to control those devices. I have connected all 60 devices in first hop (with Co-ordinator only). Please find memory usage details for this binary as below:-

 text       data      bss     dec      hex

179736   2557    28997  211290  3395a

so, only 0.5K RAM is left and may be EEPROM is overflow because remaining EEPROM sector is less than 4. Due to those reasons, I am not able to accommodate more than 60 devices in network.

Please help me to accommodate more devices in network within some hops.

If anyone have connected that much devices earlier, please mention table configuration for 200 ZigBee nodes.

Let me know if you have any questions or queries for the same.

Hi Jainil,

Have you got the solution ?

Hi Jainil,

Sorry that I cannot answer your problem, rather having a ZPS configuration issue need your help as you did!

I'm also developing ZB30 application for JN5179, and want to use ZPS configuration editor as JN-UG-3113 described - to found it under "Jennic option". But I cannot find it under "(LPCXpresso_7.9.2_493"

I have installed the newest JN-SW-4263 and 4270 as below.

Can you make a suggestion where is the problem? Thanks!

Thank you,

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin Chang,

I don't know the answer of your question properly. I didn't face have any difficulties while using JN-SW-4270 SDK.

I guess you are facing problem, because you forgot to import JN5179 application source code (JN-AN-1216 or your ZB30 application for JN5179). In LPCExpresso ZPS configuration editor comes after you import application code. (File option->Import->General->Existing project into Workspace then select path for JN5179 application).

If still you are having problem then you can create separate discussion on community, but don't write in this discussion thread because it is not regarding connecting 200 nodes with Co-ordinator.

Thanks,

Jainil Shah
