ICP DAS ZigBee products for industrial control and automation

Click2Contact

ICP DAS has manufactured a range of ZigBee products for industrial automation and control environments.

ZigBee is a specification based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for wireless personal area networks (WPANs). It operates in the ISM radio bands and defines a general-purpose, self-organising mesh network for industrial control, embedded sensing, medical data collection, smoke and intruder warning, building automation and home automation.

There are three different types of ZigBee devices in a ZigBee network. A coordinator stores information about the network and determines the optimum transmission path between any two points of the network. A full function device acts as an intermediate repeater that passes data from other devices. A reduced function device contains a minimal amount of functionality to enable it to talk to its parent node (either the coordinator or a router); it cannot relay data directly from other devices.

The range includes analog I/O, temperature sensors, digital I/O, multifunction I/O, Zigbee sniffers, repeaters and converters (RS232/485, Ethernet and USB to ZigBee). All models feature -25 to +75°C operation, ESD/EFT protection, a 10-30 VDC wide range power supply, dual watchdog timer and Windows GUI configuration software. The products are DIN rail mountable.
