ZigBee Module

The ZMN2430HP 2.4 GHz transceiver module is a low cost, high-power solution for

point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and MESH wireless systems. The ZMN2430HP

module provides the flexibility and versatility to serve applications ranging from cable

replacements to sensor networks. Based on the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless standard

and the ZigBee protocol stack, the ZMN2430HP module is easy to integrate and pro-

vides robust wireless communications including MESH network operation. The

ZMN2430HP also includes RFM’s powerful CSM application profile, which eliminates

the need for customer firmware programming.

ZMN2430HP Firmware Configurations

ZMN2430HP modules are shipped loaded with one of three firmware configurations: coordinator, router or end

node. Each ZigBee network will include one, and only one coordinator. This module coordinates the overall net-

work operation and is the host application or gateway interface point for the network. The part number designation

for a coordinator is ZMN2430HP-C. Router modules are capable of retransmitting messages and provide the

mesh networking infrastructure in a ZigBee network. The part number designation for a router is ZMN2430HP-R.

End node modules provide field connection points for sensors, data loggers, PLCs, etc. The coordinator and the

routers in a ZigBee network must stay active (awake) continuously to support network operation. End nodes can

be sleep duty cycled where needed for extended battery life operation. The part number designation for an end

node is ZMN2430HP-E. A router can provide the same field connection support as an end node, but a router can-

not be sleep duty cycled without affecting mesh network operation. Specify the number of modules for each firm-

ware configuration when ordering ZMN2430HP modules.

ZMN2430HP Hardware

The major hardware component of the ZMN2430HP is

the CC2430 IEEE 802.15.4 compatible transceiver

with integrated 8051 microcontroller. The ZMN2430HP

operates in the frequency band of 2405 to 2475 MHz

at a nominal output power of 63 mW.

The ZMN2430HP includes a low noise preamplifier in

the receiver path and a power amplifier in the transmit-

ter path, greatly increasing the operating range of the

CC2430. Two crystals are provided to operate the

CC2430, a 32 MHz crystal for normal operation and a

32.768 kHz crystal for precision sleep mode operation.

The ZMN2430HP provides a variety of application

hardware interfaces including an SPI interface, UART

interface, three 12-bit ADC inputs, two PWM (DAC)

outputs, and six general purpose digital I/O ports.

ZMN2430HP Firmware

The main firmware components in the ZMN2430HP

include the ZigBee protocol stack and RFM’s CSM

standard module application profile. The ZigBee proto-

col stack implements networking and security, with

underlying support from the 802.15.4 Media Access

Control (MAC) layer. The CSM profile provides an

application programming interface (API) for all the

ZMN2430HP application hardware interfaces. The

CSM profile includes Network Discovery, Send/Re-

ceive Serial Data, Read/Write SPI Port, Read ADC

Inputs, Write DAC Outputs, Read/Write GPIO and

Module Configuration services. In addition, the CSM

profile provides two sleep modes - timer sleep and

interrupt sleep. See the ZMN2430HP ZigBee Module

Developer’s Kit User’s Manual for complete details of

the CSM profile API.

ZMN2430HP I/O Pad Descriptions

RFIO Stripline

The RFIO pad on the radio module is connected directly to an antenna on the host circuit board, or to an MMCX

or similar RF connector. It is important that this connection be implemented as a 50 ohm stripline. Referring to

Figure 3, the width of this stripline depends on the thickness of the circuit board between the stripline and the

groundplane. For FR-4 type circuit board materials (dielectric constant of 4.7), the width of the stripline is equal to

1.75 times the thickness of the circuit board. Note that other circuit board traces should be spaced away from the

stripline to prevent signal coupling, as shown in Figure 4. The stripline trace should be kept short to minimize its

insertion loss.
