XBee RS-232 PH Adapter 10OverviewThe XBee RS-232 PH Adapter provides short range wireless connectivity to any RS-232 serial device, with available solutions for both mesh (including ZigBee) and point-to-multipoint networks. Unlike an embedded wireless module, which requires design integration and development time, these off-the-shelf adapters provides instant wireless connectivity to existing RS-232 serial devices. All XBee adapters can be used with Digi's ConnectPort X gateways for data aggregation and IP connectivityUsing a powering mode known as power harvesting (PH), this adapter is powered by the connected host device through its RS-232 serial port. Power requirementsThis product requires a fully functional serial port conforming to the RS-232C standard for optimal operation. It requires a sleep/wake duty cycle as part of its normal operation. An internal battery provides power when the adapter is operating, and recharges from the serial port when in sleep mode. The sleep/wake duty cycle requirements vary based on the current output of serial port Serial ports that provide hard power of 5 to 14VDC on one or more pins allow the device to operate continually without a sleep/wake cycle.WARNING: Do not use this adapter with serial ports with more than 14VDC output as they may cause the adapter to malfunction.Connection and power-onConnect the adapter to the RS-232 port of the host device.The adapter’s power comes from the host’s serial port.

XBee RS-232 PH Adapter 11PinoutsThe RS232 connector is an industry-standard DB9 male connector with a DTE configuration, similar to a PC serial port. Pinouts for the connector are: Pin Function Data direction1 CD InputAlso used for parasitic power input from host.2RXD InputAlso used for parasitic power input from host.3 TXD Output4 DTR Output5GND6DSR InputAlso used for parasitic power input from host.7 RTS Output8CTS InputAlso used for parasitic power input from host.9 RI InputAlso used for parasitic power input from host.
XBee RS-232 PH Adapter 12ConfigurationThere are four key attributes of the Serial PH adapter’s firmware that allow it to have a net charge on its batteries:• Sleep Mode (SM)•Idle Time (ST)• Sleep Period (SP)• Sleep Number (SN)Sleep mode, determines what sleeping behavior the adapter has. By default the adapter has cyclical sleep enabled. With cyclical sleep enabled, if the adapter is idle (No RS-232 traffic, no transmit/receive) for the given amount of Idle Time, it then performs Sleep Number amount of sleeping cycles, each for the duration of the value of Sleep Period.The default sleep mode settings are: • SM = 4 (Cyclical sleep enabled)• ST = 0x3E8 (Idle time of 1 second)• SP = 0x40 (Each sleep period’s duration is 640 ms)• SN = 1 (Perform 1 sleep period when sleeping)For this configuration, the adapter would sleep for a total of 640 ms when performing a sleep period, after it was idle for 1 second. During an RF receive/transmit, the device is in an active state for a significant amount of time, regardless of the Idle Time setting. If continuous requests/queries are made to the device, it will stay in an active state, which can lead to a net discharge of the battery, and eventually the adapter will become unresponsive.Adjusting the default settings is not recommended. Doing so can lead to unit that will not power on. The fix is to remove the module from the adapter and plug it into the serial line. Then, you can adjust these parameters through X-CTU software. This software is available on the Software and Documentation CD that accompanies Drop-in Networking kits and ConnectPort X gateways.The battery can take up to 24 hours to fully charge, and if the unit is run in the worst-case scenario, no sleep mode enabled and continuously queried, the battery has only a charge for around 40 minutes. After that, the unit will become unresponsive. In addition, if the unit isn’t immediately put into a sleep mode after the battery first becomes unable to power the adapter, the battery will further deplete, and you will have to perform the fix mentioned above to recover the device.Data retrievalRetrieving data from XBee adapters is done by issuing a remote AT IS (Force Sample) command through the XBee API. The XBee API and AT IS command are described in detail in the XBee ZNet 2.5 (Series 2) RF Module data sheet. AT IS commands can be issued via a Python program that is executed on the gateway. See also the Product Manual for the XBee Module and the Digi Python Programming Guide.

XBee Analog I/O Adapter 18OverviewThe XBee Analog I/O Adapter provides short range wireless connectivity to any analog device, with available solutions for both mesh (including ZigBee) and point-to-multipoint networks. Unlike an embedded wireless module, which requires design integration and development time, these off-the-shelf adapters provides instant wireless connectivity to existing analog devices. All XBee adapters can be used with Digi's ConnectPort X gateways for data aggregation and IP connectivity.The XBee Analog I/O adapter allows for several potential interfaces to analog devices. It provides greater flexibility and uses than the Digi XBee Sensor Adapter and XBee Sensor products, in that:• It can be used with a variety of off-the-shelf sensor products.• It can be used in situations when the item being measured or analyzed needs to be separated from the sensor/measuring device itself. Analog ModesThe XBee Analog I/O Adapter has three modes in which it can measure input on its four terminal lines. •0-10 volt mode: The device measures the voltage on a scale of 1 to 10 volts, and translates it into a 10-bit scale from 0 to 1023 as possible values. •Current Loop (4 mA to 20 mA) mode: The device measures the amperage on a scale of 4 mA to 20 mA, and translates it into a 10-bit scale from 0 to 1023 as possible values.•Differential input mode: The device measures paired terminals (1 and 2 paired, 3 and 4 paired) and translates the difference in voltage between the two lines to into a 10-bit scale from 0 to 1023 as possible values.A Python module named xbeeain.py is available to set the analog mode; see pages 24 and 25.Chapter 5 XBee Analog I/O Adapter

XBee Analog I/O Adapter 23Power output specificationsExternal terminal 6 is a power-out pin. It can be set to either battery pack voltage out or +12VDC at 50mA out via DIP switches 1 and 2.External terminal 5 is a system ground pin. This ground pin should be used for all external ground connections for both power and input connections. DIP switch 1 enables battery pack voltage minus .5VDC to terminal 6, resulting in 4VDC out with new alkaline batteries, or 3.1VDC with new lithium battery. DIP switch 2 enables +12VDC to terminal 6. Only one switch should be on at a time. No damage will happen if both are set to on, but the output will default to the +12VDC output and increased parasitic battery drain will result.The battery pack voltage is on terminal 6 all the time, and is not gated with the sleep of the module when DIP switch 2 is on. Any current draw from terminal 6 will result in reduced battery life. When DIP switch 2 is on, the +12VDC at 50mA max is provided at terminal 6. This power is gated by both the sleep of the module and AT command P3. For this power setting to be on, the XBee module needs to be awake and AT command P3 set to a high level.
XBee Analog I/O Adapter 24Python modules for configuring inputs and outputsDigi provides a library of Python modules for configuring inputs and outputs on the adapter and retrieving data from the adapter. These modules are available for downloading from www.digi.com/din/docs, in a file named XBee Adapter Libraries.

XBee Digital I/O Adapter 30OverviewThe XBee Digital I/O Adapter provides short range wireless connectivity to any digital device, as well as an interface to logic-level inputs and sinking driver output. Solutions are available for both mesh (including ZigBee) and point-to-multipoint networks. Unlike an embedded wireless module, which requires design integration and development time, these off-the-shelf adapters provides instant wireless connectivity to existing digital devices. All XBee adapters can be used with Digi's ConnectPort X gateways for data aggregation and IP connectivity.Power options Depending on adapter model, there are several powering options. Alkaline battery modelThis product can be powered by a 9-30VDC external power supply (see "Power requirements" on page 67) or by batteries. Use 3x1.5V “N” alkaline battery cells. To install batteries, insert a screwdriver in the slots in the side of the adapter case and twist to snap off the cover. Insert the batteries following the polarity diagram on the board.Lithium battery modelThis model can be powered by a 3-6VDC external power supply or by 2/3 AA 3.6V lithium batteries and a 1/2 AA boost capacitor. Replacement batteries available for purchase; contact Digi at 952-912-3444 or 877-912-3444. Chapter 6 XBee Digital I/O Adapter
XBee Digital I/O Adapter 31Connection and power-on1. Connect the wires for the desired digital device to the connector for the adapter. The connector for the adapter is a 6-position wire terminal block. The connector accommodates wire gauges from 16AWG to 30AWG. The figure shows Pin 1 of the connector when the adapter is oriented with the mounting tabs, facing upwards (the underside of the adapter). To insert or remove wires, insert a screwdriver blade in the slot directly below the hole where the wire inserts. Press down on the spring to open up the hole and insert or remove the wire. 2. Connect the power supply to the adapter or insert batteries.PinoutsFacing the connector, with the screwdriver release slots down, going from right to left, the pinouts are:Pin Function1 These pins are configurable as digital input or sinking driver output.2345GND6 +12VDC 50mA max switched power out
XBee Digital I/O Adapter 32DIP switchesThe XBee Digital I/O Adapter has several DIP switches on the underside of the unit, with these settings:Note: • Switches 1 and 2 should not be on at the same time as increased parasitic battery drain will result. • Pullup use is not recommended when running from battery power, owing to the constant drain on the batteries.DIP Switch Switch settings1 Enables and disables direct battery pack voltage output.On=battery power outOff=no battery power out2 Enables and disables +12V power out.On=+12V power outOff=no +12V power out3 Turns on 10K pullup on terminal 1 to 3VDC.4 Turns on 10K pullup on terminal 2 to 3VDC.
XBee Digital I/O Adapter 33Configuring inputs and outputsAs shown in the pinouts table, the XBee Digital I/O Adapter product has four external terminals that can be set as either a digital input or a sinking driver output.The XBee module controls the sinking drivers on pins 11, 16, 12, 4 for terminals 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively.The AT commands to the XBee module for the output function are D4, D6, D7, P2 for terminals 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively.Outputs are activated (that is, the sinking function is turned on) by setting high the corresponding XBee pin for the output that is desired. To set a terminal high, set the corresponding AT command to value 5. To set a terminal low, set the corresponding AT command to value 4. For example, setting terminal 1 to high would call the AT command D4 and set it to value 5.Since the input and output functions overlap, the input function is always active and when the input function is desired, the output control pin for the matching output must be set low (turns off the sinking function). This feature can allow the inputs to monitor the output sinking operation if desired.Input/output specifications and characteristicsExceeding the maximum or minimum safe input values will result in damage to the unit.Digital mode Specification ValueDigital Input Input type Non-inverting Schmidt trigger gatePositive-going switching threshold ~1.6 VDCNegative-going switching threshold ~1.0 VDCMaximum safe input +30VDCMinimum safe input -.5VDCInput impedance ~1.5 MegaohmsDefault level when no input applied LowDigital Output Output type Open collector sinking driverMaximum sink current 1.8ADCMaximum off voltage +30VDCMinimum safe input -.5VDCResistor pullups 10K ohms pulled up to 3VDC; switch-selectable
XBee Digital I/O Adapter 34Power output specificationsExternal terminal 6 is a power-out pin. It can be set to either battery pack voltage out or +12VDC at 50mA out via DIP switches 1 and 2.External terminal 5 is a system ground pin. This ground pin should be used for all external ground connections for both power and input connections. DIP switch 1 enables battery pack voltage minus .5VDC to terminal 6, resulting in 4VDC out with new alkaline batteries, or 3.1VDC with new lithium battery. DIP switch 2 enables +12VDC to terminal 6. Only one switch should be on at a time. No damage will happen if both are set to on, but the output will default to the +12VDC output and increased parasitic battery drain will result.The battery pack voltage is on terminal 6 all the time and not gated with the sleep of the module when DIP switch 2 is on. Any current draw from terminal 6 will result in reduced battery life. This mode is primarily intended with switch closure applications with the XBee Digital I/O Adapter with the external switch in the customer equipment in the normally open position, so no battery current results until the activating event happens.When DIP switch 2 is on, the +12VDC at 50mA max is provided at terminal 6. This power is gated by both the sleep of the module and AT command P3. For this power setting to be on, the XBee module needs to be awake and AT command P3 set to a high level.

XBee Wall Router 48OverviewZigBee technology enables low-cost, low-power networking of sensors, controllers and other such devices in self-configuring, self-healing wireless mesh networks. Digi's XBee Wall Router is a small extender used to create the backbone of a ZigBee network or to expand the range of a ZigBee network so that other ZigBee devices can seamlessly communicate with one another. The XBee Wall Router can be used with Digi's ConnectPort X gateways for data aggregation and IP connectivity.Part of Digi's Drop-in Networking solutions, the XBee Wall Router helps to create and/or fortify the infrastructure of a ZigBee network by simply plugging into standard wall power sockets around a customer facility, creating a multi-path self-healing network. Installation is easy and completely unobtrusive.The U.S. version of the XBee Wall Router includes a built-in mounting tab, which allows it to be securely screwed into standard wall sockets using the existing mounting screw hole. This prevents accidental unplugging of the repeater and reduces risk of theft or vandalism. The XBee Wall Router is designed primarily to “patch” areas within a ZigBee network where signal erosion or loss occurs due to distance limitations or air interference. It also serves to create multiple pathways, increasing the redundancy of the mesh communications to ensure maximum network reliability.In addition to ZigBee network extension, the XBee Wall Router also includes two integrated environmental sensors. Customers using ConnectPort X gateways have the ability to retrieve data from ZigBee enabled temperature and light sensors built inside of the product. XBee wall routers can be used with ConnectPort X gateways, XBee embedded modules, XBee adapters or XBee sensors to "drop-in" end-to-end device networks – without the need for a wired network infrastructure.Chapter 10 XBee Wall Router

XBee Sensors 53OverviewThe XBee Sensor family is a group of Zigbee-enabled, battery-powered sensors incorporating an XBee module. Part of Digi's Drop-in Networking solutions, XBee Sensors read real-time data from sensors such as temperature, humidity, and light. This data can be retrieved and transmitted through wireless communications in a ZigBee infrastructure. Compact size and battery power enable XBee Sensors to be dropped into facilities easily and unobtrusively while providing reliable communications. Applications include building automation, environmental monitoring, security, asset monitoring, and more. Installation is easy: simply insert batteries, add the XBee Sensor to the ZigBee network, and configure inputs and outputs, using Digi-provided modules written in the Python programming language. Next, mount the device in a desired out-of-the-way location and begin collecting data. XBee Sensors can be used with ConnectPort X gateways, XBee embedded modules, XBee adapters or XBee Wall Routers to "drop-in" end-to-end device networks, without the need for a wired network infrastructure.Sensor optionsThere are currently two XBee Sensor product options available:•XBee Sensor /L/T: Integrated ambient light and temperature sensors•XBee Sensor /L/T/H: Integrated ambient light, temperature, and humidity sensorsPower optionsAlkaline Battery Model: This product is powered by three AA batteries (1.5V). To install/replace batteries, remove the two outer case screws and insert batteries according to the polarity diagram printed on the board.Chapter 11 XBee Sensors

Configure XBee radio settings 64Basic radio settings control basic operation of the XBee Module in a ZigBee network.•PAN ID: Sets the PAN (Personal Area Network) ID, in hexadecimal. This is the preferred PAN ID for the ZigBee network. All Digi Drop-in Networking products have a default PAN ID of 0x234. A PAN ID of FFFF causes the XBee Module to select a random PAN ID. Otherwise, the specified ID will be used.When a Router or End device searches for a Coordinator on the ZigBee network, it joins to a parent that has a matching PAN ID. If that device's configured ID setting is FFFF, the device will join a parent operating on any PAN ID. Note: Changing the PAN ID may make your XBee product inaccessible.•Node Identifier: A descriptive, user-friendly name for the device. This identifier is returned as part of any Node Discover operations done on the ZigBee network. Using Node Identifiers for Drop-in Networking devices makes it possible to reference them by names rather than their physical addresses. Enter a name of up to 20 characters.•Discover Timeout: Sets the amount of time a node will spend discovering other nodes when a Node Join or Node Discover is issued. •Scan Channels: A bit field list of the channels to scan. The Digi device chooses of the channels when starting the network. In a Router or End device, the bit field is a list of channels that will be scanned to find a Coordinator/Router to join. •Scan Duration: Sets the scan duration exponent of the Active and Energy Scans (on each channel) that are used to determine an acceptable channel and Pan ID for startup of the Coordinator.
Configure XBee radio settings 65Advanced radio settings control behavior of the XBee Module at a more detailed level. Generally, these settings can be left at their defaults.•Transmit Power Level: Sets the power level at which the XBee Module transmits conducted power.•Allows Join Time: Determines how long a Coordinator or Router will allow other devices to join it. If set to 255, devices can join at anytime. (This setting is supported on Coordinators and Routers only.) •CCA Threshold: Sets the CCA (Clear Channel Assessment) threshold. Prior to transmitting a packet, a CCA is performed to detect energy on the channel. The packet will not be transmitted if the detected energy is above the CCA threshold. •Random Delay Slots: Sets the minimum value of the back-off exponent in the CSMA-CA algorithm for collision avoidance. If set to zero, collision avoidance is disabled during the first iteration of the algorithm. •Broadcast Hops: Sets the maximum number of hops for each broadcast date transmission. 0 sets the radio to use the maximum number of hops. Serial interface settings•Baud Rate: The baud rate for the modem serial port. •Parity: The parity for the modem serial port. •Flow Control: Enable or disable CTS flow control for the serial port. •Packetization Timeout: The number of character times of inter-character delay required before transmission. If set to zero, characters are transmitted as soon as they arrive instead of buffering them into one RF packet. 4.
