EnOcean - the Energy Harvesting Wirless Standard for Building Automation and Industrial Automation
EnOcean customers are located all over the world. The interoperable wireless standard of the EnOcean Alliance enables switches, gateways and sensors from different manufacturers to combine seamlessly. In the world of automation, wireless and hardwired solutions aren’t in confict with each other; they complement one another. EnOcean wireless communicates with all major wired bus systems such as KNX, LON, BACnet or TCP/IP.
Patented EnOcean energy harvesting wireless sensor solution is able to generate a signal of astonishing range from an extremely small amount of energy. From just 50 μWs a standard EnOcean energy harvesting wireless module CAN easily transmit a signal 300 meters (in a free field). The secret lies in the signal duration - the entire process is started, executed and completed in no more than a thousandth of a second.

Multiple telegram transmission with checksum
Short telegrams (approx. 1 ms) for little probability of collision
Long range: up to 30 meters in buildings and 300 meters in free field
Repeater available for range extension
One-way and bidirectional communication
Low energy need
High data transmission rate for sensor information of 125 kbit/s
Small data overhead
ASK modulation
Interoperability
Wireless protocol defined and integrated in modules
Sensor profiles specified and implemented by users
Reliable wireless transmission in systems with many sensors - the extremely short telegrams of EnOcean wireless modules enable operation of a large number of transmitters all in the same cell. Any error rate caused by telegram collisions remains extremely low. Ex-pressed in statistics, transmission reliability is still better than 99.99% for 100 wireless sensors each transmitting their data once a minute. In other words, even large office buildings or extensive industrial plants can be equipped with high numbers of EnOcean sensors, and all operating simultaneously.
