Overview
XBee & XBee-PRO ZB adapters deliver wireless connectivity
to electronic devices through advanced mesh networks. These
adapters utilize the ZigBee PRO Feature Set, for robust self-
healing, self-configuring networks. They are ideal for wirelessly
enabling sensors, controllers and other devices in legacy wired
applications, or where a common hardware interface is preferable.
XBee & XBee-PRO ZB adapters can be battery or mains
powered. They are available in a wide range of physical
interfaces, including RS-232, RS-485, USB (power harvesting),
digital I/O and analog I/O. Built upon either low-power and
low-cost XBee modules or extended-range XBee-PRO modules,
these adapters can be purchased in a broad range of
configurations and customized to meet your application needs.
Part of Digi’s Drop-in Networking solutions, XBee adapters
are compatible with ConnectPort® X gateways, XBee modules
and XBee accessories. This family of hardware, software and
management tools provides users with unparalleled flexibility
and end-to-end communication between devices.
Easy-to-use adapters bring wireless connectivity to
electronic devices in legacy wired applications.
