Zigbee Module (DRF1605)

DRF1605 is a very simple and easy to USE Zigbee Module, you can take it as Wirless UART. Data transceiver at any endpoint freely.

The Advantage:
1, Create network automatically
At the first using, when DRF1600 Zigbee Module power on, the Router can search and join network automatically, after the first using, all the network point can keep this network status, no mater you turn on of turn off these points, all of them will keep in the network.
2, Very easy to use
At the most situations, two Zigbee points just as one RS232 (or UART) cable, using Zigbee Module not need driver or API.
3, Simply data transmission
The data received from UART at Coordinator can send to all point automatically.
The data received from UART at Router can send to Coordinator automatically.
Data transceiver can be at any points, just need one instruction.
4, Customer can use it with ZigBee USB mother board as follow, this function as USB to Zigbee.
5, Customer can use it with RS485 mother board, this function as RS485 to Zigbee.
6, As the pin distance is 2.54mm or 2.54*n, thus it can connector to versatile board.
7, Any MCU can connect to this module, just need MCU has UART ( TX & RX @ 3.3V ).

How to Create a Network when using DRF1600S Zigbee Module:
The point type for Zigbee network:
There are three point type for Zigbee network: Coordinator, Router and End Device.
Coordinator: Used to create a Zigbee network and assign address to Router or End Device when them join this network, Coordinator used as all powered on device, at one Zigbee network only need one Coordinator, Coordinator use PAN ID to differentiate other network, the networks which have different PAN ID can't conflict at one space.
Router: Can receive and send data, can resend data as other points bridge, Router also have keep a Zigbee network function, and Router can assign address to others points when them join this network.
Normally, Router also called as FFD (Full Function Device.
End Device: This point only can receive and send data, at most situations, this type of point defined as battery powered device, can periodically weak up to receive or send data.

DTK Zigbee Module's main function is data transceiver, so our Zigbee Module only have Coordinator and Router points, when a Zigbee network include one Coordinator and n Routers, this Zigbee network normally called as MESH network.
So, when you order Zigbee Module, we will send you 1 Coordinator and n PCS Routers as default configure.

How to send and receive data at different zigbee point:
There are two data transceiver method: Transparent transceiver and point to point transceiver
1. Transparent transceiver:
The data received from UART at Coordinator, will send to all point automatically
The data received from UART at Router can send to Coordinator automatically.
2. Point to point transceiver:
Only one instruction can send data between any two points.
