XBee ZigBee Series 2 Pro (63 mW Wire Antenna) (XBP24-Z7WIT-004)

Rambal Ltda. posee diferentes sistemas de transmision. Dentro de la gama media de distancias o alcances de transmision tenemos los equipos XBee. Las distancias de estos equipos no es alta pero poseen otras caracteristicas que pueden ser de utilidad a la hora de decidirse.

Los modulos Xbee ZigBee Series 2 se comercializan en dos formatos de comunicacion- un metodo serial simple de transmision/recepcion o un segundo metodo que provee caracteristicas avanzadas. Los XBees son faciles de usar y se pueden configurar mediante el X-CTU del microcontrolador. Estos modulos se pueden conectar entre dos puntos, o desde un punto a un PC o en una malla red. Todos estos modulos Xbee que comercializa Rambal Ltda. son compatibles entre si.

The XBP24-Z7WIT-004 module is part of the XBee Series 2 family which provides ZigBee level interoperability with ZigBee devices from other vendors. This hardware is only compatible with other Series 2 XBee modules; it is not compatible with the XBee Series 1.

How else do the Series 2 XBee modules differ from Series 1? Series 2:

• Is compatible only with Series 2 family
• Sold by Parallax only in the popular wire antenna format, but Series 1 is offered with wire antenna or chip antenna.
• Slightly longer communication distance:  400 feet and up to two miles line of sight for the 1.25 mW and 63 mW modules respectively
• Maximum baud rate is higher at up to 1 Mbps
• Slightly lower power consumption than Series 1
• Two less A/D I/Os and two more digital I/Os than Series 1

The most common factor in determining whether to use Series 2 is the potential need to tie-in with other ZigBee-compatible networks. If this is not a requirement, Series 1 may be perfectly suitable for your project. Still having trouble deciding whether to use Series 1 or Series 2?  Take a look at our XBee Comparison Chart.

Because the XBee modules have 2 mm pin spacing, we recommend one of our adapter boards for each module. Our adapter boards provide several advantages to the XBee modules such breadboard-friendly standard 0.1 inch pin spacing, mounting holes, and easy-to-solder connections. Even if you are communicating point-to-point without a PC, we still recommend that you always have at least one XBee USB Adapter Board (# 32400) so you can easily configure and test each XBee module prior to putting it in a point-to-point application.
