ZigBee kit facilitates embedded wireless monitoring and control

29 November 2006 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT Security Services & Risk Management

Rabbit Semiconductor has launched an application kit that interfaces a RabbitCore module with MaxStream's XBee wireless ZigBee modules. Adding ZigBee technology to an Ethernet-enabled Rabbit embedded control device offers a low-cost, robust wireless infrastructure that allows users to monitor remote devices within a sophisticated wireless network, exchange data between devices, and control I/O from a secured PC on the Internet.

As the latest emerging wireless standard, ZigBee is positioned for widespread integration in embedded applications. ZigBee, which builds upon the established IEEE 802.15.4 standard, is known for its reliable, low-cost, low-power features.

Rabbit's ZigBee/802.15.4 Application Kit is a reference application that comes complete with the hardware and software for implementing a ZigBee wireless control network in the various topologies such as point-to-point and point-to-multipoint. The simple-to-use configuration software allows users to set up a network, discover nodes, and establish communications between similar ZigBee devices.

The RabbitCore module acts as the network coordinator to monitor and manage two other battery-powered XBee-equipped node devices. This allows users to access and control a ZigBee/802.15.4 network from anywhere in the world. The RabbitCore module is equipped with Ethernet and 512K Flash, 256K SRAM, 1 MB serial flash, and 33 GPIO lines, and has the ability to act as both an intelligent control device or as an Ethernet gateway.
