Introduction

The Z31 ZigBee Module is a compact, programmable device designed for the Ember ZNet ZigBee™ PRO Stack for wireless mesh networks. It is built around the Ember EM250 radio and microcontroller chip and can easily be programmed using Ember Development Kits using a 10-pin InSight Adapter port.

It can be programmed as a ZigBee Co-ordinator, Router or End Device. It includes on-board memory to allow over-the-air firmware modifications and can be supplied with an on-board PCB antenna or a U.FL connector. There is also a USB interface option available.

Applications

These modules are intended for Equipment Manufacturers and System Integrators who wish to include ZigBee-based communications capability in their products and systems. They provide a fast and easy way to implement ZigBee wireless networks with a wide variety of I/O options for capturing sensor data or interfacing to controllers and actuators.

Wireless sensor networks are ideal for collecting information from hazardous environments and minimizing time and cost of field installation.
