Moves the serial line onto a wireless ZigBee network
An industrial converter that links RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 devices to each other over an IEEE 802.15.4 based ZigBee network. DIN rail mounting and a 9-24 VDC input place the unit straight into a field cabinet; it targets in-building wireless communication and low-speed automation setups.

Key features
2.4GHz
IEEE 802.15.4 compliant wireless link
It communicates in the ISM band at low power and suits low-speed automation networks.
500m
Wide coverage area
It reaches distant serial devices in open areas without pulling any cable.
3interfaces
Three serial standards in one unit
It carries a DB-9 male connector for RS-232 and a 6-pin terminal block for RS-422 and RS-485.
65535addresses
Device identity on large networks
It assigns a separate node address to every device and keeps units apart in wide installations.
115.2kbps
High speed on the serial side
The serial interface carries data up to this rate and takes its settings from UART commands.

Mounts inside the cabinet
A 1 mm iron housing measuring 100 x 86 x 26 mm takes little room in a field panel.
Day to day use in the fieldConnects without cablingIt carries remote serial devices back to the center over the ZigBee network and needs no cable tray.
Status at a glanceSET, LINK and PWR indicators report the ZigBee link, the data flow and the power feed independently.
Configured on siteUART commands and the configuration software change the settings of the unit in place.
