What is an XBee module?

XBee is a brand name that refers to a family of devices from Digi International. Digi XBee radio modules share common form factors, a standard host interface, supporting tools and software, and a group of protocols to select from including Wi-Fi, LTE cellular, DigiMesh® as well as Zigbee.

How do I program a XBee module?

How to configure ZigBee/Xbee Pro

  1. XBee connection with USB adapter. Place the XBee module on XBee USB adapter:
  2. Download and Install XCTU software 6.1.
  3. Now configure the first radio as COORDINATOR.
  4. Now click on the second radio and configure this as ROUTER.
  5. Communication between Coordinator and Router.
  6. Check the Output.

What is DigiMesh?

DigiMesh simplifies network setup and reliability in environments where routers may come and go due to interference or damage. Battery Deployed Networks. Coordinators and routers must be mains powered. All nodes are capable of battery operation and can sleep.

What is an XBee Pro used for?

XBee is a module produced by Digi International mainly use as a radio communication transceiver and receiver. It is mesh communication protocols that sits on top of IEEE 802.15. 4 ZigBee standard. XBee supports peer-to-peer as well as point to multi-point network communications wirelessly with the speed of 250 kbits/s.

How does an XBee work?

XBee devices communicate with each other over the air, sending and receiving wireless messages. However, they can communicate with intelligent devices via the serial interface. XBee devices transmit data coming from the serial input over the air, and they send anything received wirelessly to the serial output.

How does ZigBee mesh work?

Mesh Networks A key component of the Zigbee protocol is the ability to support mesh networking. In a mesh network, nodes are interconnected with other nodes so that multiple pathways connect each node. Connections between nodes are dynamically updated and optimized through sophisticated, built-in mesh routing table.

What is the XBee-PRO 900hp RF module?

This manual describes the operation of the XBee-PRO®900HP RF module, which consists of firmware loaded onto XBee- PRO S3B hardware. XBee-PRO 900HP embedded RF modules provide wireless connectivity to end-point devices in mesh networks.

How do I program the Digi XBee-PRO 900hp?

The Digi XBee-PRO 900HP requires no programming and can be configured easily using Digi’s free XCTU software or via a simplified AT command set. Digi XBee modules are pre-certified for use in multiple countries, further reducing development costs and time to market.

What kind of transceiver does the Digi XBee-PRO XSC use?

The RF module features an ADF7023 transceiver from Analog Devices, delivering best-in-class distances up to 28 miles Line-of-Sight (LOS)*, along with low power consumption, drawing less than 2.5 uA in power down. The latest Digi XBee-PRO XSC (S3B hardware) is firmware compatible with the legacy 9XStream® and the legacy Digi XBee-PRO XSC modules.

What are the components of XBee PRO S3b?

XBee-PRO S3B Hardware Description The XBee-PRO S3B radio module hardware consists of an Energy Micro EFM32G230F128 microcontroller, an Analog Devices ADF7023 radio transceiver, an RF power amplifier, and in the programmable version, a Freescale MC9S08QE32 microcontroller. Worldwide Acceptance
