Repeater/Bridge

ZT-2510 CR is a compact wireless ZigBee repeater based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. It performs network routing and signal relay within a personal area ZigBee network, so an engineer can use it to extend transmission range and improve the quality of the wireless link.The module operates in the ISM 2.4 GHz band across 16 channels and is fully compliant with IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee Pro (ZigBee 2007). It works as a router in a network managed by a coordinator from the ZT-2550 or ZT-2570 series, passing data between parent and child nodes. Each network can manage up to 255 ZigBee routers.Configuration is handled through a Windows GUI utility, where users set parameters such as the PAN ID for their application. RF transmission power is adjustable, and the module is supplied with a 5 dBi omni-directional antenna. It mounts on a DIN rail and is rated for an operating temperature of -25 ~ +75 °C.ApplicationsExtending the range of ZigBee personal area networksRelaying wireless data between parent and child nodes in ZigBee networksImproving wireless signal quality across sites where direct links are weak

The ZT-2530M bridges two separate ZigBee networks by combining a ZigBee coordinator and a ZigBee router in one DIN-rail module. Its two 2.4 GHz omni-directional antennas help it maintain links where buildings and other obstacles in urban areas would otherwise weaken the signal.Typical uses include bridging communication between indoor and outdoor units, or splitting a large, complex network into smaller segments to improve efficiency. Hardware configuration is set through a fully external switch, and the RF output power can be adjusted to suit the installation.The module is designed for wireless systems where running cable to field devices is impractical. It supports AES-128 encryption for the wireless link and includes surge and ESD protection.
