Three roads to introduce ZigBee in your product

1. Develop your own application software
2. Hire a consultant-company which has the rights to
   develop on a software stack-platform
3. Buy an all-embedded module (SPPIO)

3
Developing your own application software

• Buy the PHY (radio) Microcontroller (MCU) MAC
  (software and/or hardware)
• RC2200/AT/MM
• Buy the rights to use a stack (IP) and the
  stack object code which works on the MCU
• With the required tools, develop your application
  on top of the stack/MAC/PHY and download on the
  MCU

Setting up an SPPIO network I

• All configurations are done by AT-commands at the
  UART interface! The basic steps are
• Configure one module as the PAN Coordinator
• Configure all other modules as Routers or End
  Devices
• Bind or pair devices by mapping ones unique
  address as the others destination address
• Select the UART data transmission scheme (on full
  buffer, end character or timeout)

15
Setting up a SPPIO network II

• Configure the I/O pins to either analogue or
  digital
• Configure the I/O port direction (input or
  output)
• Select the I/O data transmission scheme (on
  events, interrupts or timers)
• The Routers and End Devices will automatically
  associate to the network coordinator as soon as
  they are switched on. And all the devices will
  organize themselves in a mesh network with
  automatic routing. UART data and I/O data will
  then be exchanged or mapped between devices that
  are paired.

AT-command UART setup example

• Entering Command Mode , AT, AT0
• Power saving modes
• Power Down ATPD-command (1.3uA)
• Needs to re-associate when turn on again
• Sleep SLEEP_MODE parameter to 0 (lt20uA) Wakes
  up on UART interrupt or I/O interrupt (End
  Device only)

ZigBee vs. proprietary radio solutions

• ZigBee is NOT the answer to all wireless
  communication needs due to
• Range 120-170 meter Line-Of-Sight, indoor 10-30
  meter indoors, neighbouring room (0 dBm)
• Interoperability Today only one public profile
  is defined (HCL)
• Extensive development cost and effort with
  specific customer application layer
• Not for data streaming (audio/video) but smaller
  data packets at periodic intervals
• Star network (point-to-point) sufficient in most
  applications
• ZigBee Routers is gt 64k program memory ()

26
Why use Radio Modules?

• One single component instead of 20-60 Less
  logistics, rapid prototyping, proof of concept
• RF knowledge limited to adding an antenna.
  Shielded modules, less interference. Easy
  mounting on cheapest carrier PCB.
• Pre-qualified CE-marking can be re-used
  (Declaration of Conformity)
• All modules are 100 RF-tested, final product can
  be function-tested only (no RF production
  test-equipment), no yield loss in production
• Simple-to-use standard UART interface Easy
  connection to RS232/485 or MCU
• RF-development time reduced from 3-6 months to
  weeks
• Total development- and production cost
  significantly reduced
• Time-To-Market shortened
