ABOUT THE ZMN2430HP MODULE

The ZMN2430 Series 2.4 GHz transceiver modules provide a low cost solution for point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and MESH wireless systems. The ZMN2430 Series 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, ZMN2430 Series modules are easy to integrate and provides robust wireless communications including MESH network operation. The ZMN2430 Series also includes RFM’s powerful CSM application profile, which eliminates the need for customer firmware programming.

ZMN2430 Series modules are shipped loaded with one of three firmware configurations: coordinator ("C"), router ("R") or end node("E"). Each ZigBee network will include one, and only one coordinator. The "C" module coordinates the overall network operation and is the host application or gateway interface point for the network. The "R" modules are capable of retransmitting messages and provide the mesh networking infrastructure in a ZigBee network. The "E" 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.

VERSITILITY. Comprised of the low-power 1mW RF power LPR2430 / LPR2430A and the extended range 100mW RF power LPR2430ER / LPR2430ERA, the RFM LPR2430 Series modules provide the flexibility and versatility to serve a variety of applications, from simple cable replacement to remote terminal data collection to sophisticated sensor networks. The LPR2430 includes CNL V2.0 Network Layer firmware which features a flexible and simple-to-use Application Programming Interface.

SLEEP CAPABILITY. LPR2430 series modules provide years of battery operation supported through two sleep modes. Timer sleep allows the module to be configured to wake as often as every 100 milliseconds or as infrequently as once every 3.5 years. Interrupt sleep lets the module sleep until it is awoken by either an edge triggered interrupt or an ADC value exceeding configurable limits. Regardless of what wakes the module, the designer can configure the module to remain awake for up to 2 seconds after sending its data to provide an opportunity for an application to communicate to the module before it returns to sleep.

I/O AND AUTO REPORT CAPABILITY. LPR2430 series modules feature Analog, Digital and Serial I/O including Analog & Digital I/O binding.
