1. Introduction
What are the benefits of using ZigBee?
ZigBee is a specification based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for
wireless personal area networks (WPANs). It is targeted at applications
that require secure networking as well as high flexibility for network
expansion anytime new nodes are to be added. It is also widely used in the
industrial control field, in hospitals, labs and in building automation. Three
topologies are defined in the IEEE 802.15.4 standard: Star, Cluster Tree
and Mesh.
ZB-2510 Series
The ZB-2510 series are two ZigBee-based repeater modules included
in the ICP DAS product line. The main difference between T and
PA-version is the transmission range. The ZB-2510-T supports an
extended transmission range of up to 100 meters, whereas the
ZB-2510-PA can transmit to a maximum of 700 meters. Both modules are
able to operate in broadcast and user-defined route modes. When the
repeater is set to broadcast mode, the transmission route is constructed
by the ZigBee Host. The repeater will forward any data that it receives
using broadcast mode. The advantage of this mode is that the repeater
can be deployed in a “haphazard” manner without any concern about
positioning.
However, the main flaw of this mode is that if there are too many
ZigBee slaves sending connection request at same time, incorrect ZigBee
parent may response the ZigBee slave connection requests. It would be
causing a ZigBee network may not get the best signal strength topology. In
contrast, when the repeater is set to user-defined route mode, it can be
constructed as the best ZigBee network in signal strength. The benefit of
this mode is that the data transmission path can be defined by our-selves.
We can use this feature to avoid the signal transmitted in the
interference environment. However, if the main and redundant ZigBee
repeaters have failure, the ZigBee will be invalid.

4.2 ZigBee Repeater usage
1. Broadcast Mode:
A diagram showing the typical usage for a ZigBee repeater that is forwarding
data using broadcast mode is shown below:
In the initial stages of constructing a ZigBee network, the ZigBee Host will
determine which repeater will be the forward spot of the default data
transmission route. The designated repeater will forward the host data to the
ZigBee Device and ZigBee DIO modules.
2. User-defined Route Mode:
Any repeater operating in this mode needs to be configured using a unique
repeater ID number and with a second repeater ID number
(*1, *2)
that defines
where this repeater should forward data to when it receives the ZigBee
Device data
(*3)
.
Repeater ID 01 02 03 04 13 14
Repeater forwarding data

device
(*a)
00
(*b)
01 02 03 ... ... 12 13
Repeater configuration table 1
ZB-2510 Series User Manual, Ver. 1.2 Page 10
*a: Data transmission to the ZigBee Device from the ZigBee Host is in the
opposite direction.
*b: Repeater ID 00 is reserved for the ZigBee Host. Repeater IDs should be
set beginning from 1.
By following the above configuration, the data transmission route for this
mode will be as follows:
*1: ICP DAS provides two hardware and software versions that can be
selected by the user depending on different environments.
*2: Not only does a unique PAN ID need to be set for the repeater, in the same
way as any other ZigBee product, but a repeater ID number also needs to
be set for use in user-defined route mode.
*3: Data transmission from the ZigBee Host to the ZigBee Device is in the
opposite direction.
3. User-defined Route Mode with a back-up route:
User-defined route mode allows more flexibility in the ZigBee application and
more expansion of the network. There are times when we need to consider an
application where one or more repeaters in the ZigBee network are invalid.
Communication between the host and the device will be disrupted, which will
cause the data to be trapped at the failed repeaters. Even if a scanning device
is used to locate and replace the invalid repeater, the entire system will be
inactive while time is wasted waiting for the engineer to repair the problem.
Sometimes, if the weather causes a device to be inoperable, or the engineer is
a long distance from the location, the recovery time will be increased. Thus,
the network self-recovery and redundancy functions are very important in this
ZB-2510 Series User Manual, Ver. 1.2 Page 11
kind of application. The method used to implement the above functions in
user-defined route mode is to add a secondary repeater ID number using the
software utility, and then deploy two repeaters in each of the planned
repeater locations.
Repeater ID 01,15
02,16 03,17 04,18 13,27 14,28

Repeater configuration table 2
The above figure shows an example application and configuration table. If the
repeater with the ID number 02 in the above application is invalid, the data
transmission route will switch to the secondary repeater if the ZigBee
self-detection time has elapsed
(*4)
.
*4: The user can define this value based on the system environment. The
minimum timeout is 4 seconds. The network will attempt to forward the
data to the secondary route if there is a problem with the ZigBee network.
ZB-2510 Series User Manual, Ver. 1.2 Page 12
4.3 Applications
ZigBee repeater application 1
An example is as follows:
The locations of the repeater installation should be well planned. The repeater’s
forward route should be configured using user-defined route mode and then the
locations of all devices should be set up.
If a back-up route solution is added to the application, then the installation will be
as follows:
If a repeater at any of the locations is invalid, the data transmission route will be
switched to the back-up route based on the user-defined timeout so that the
ZigBee network transmission can be recovered.
ZB-2510 Series User Manual, Ver. 1.2 Page 13
ZigBee repeater application 2
An example of an application based on a repeater and a ZigBee DIO module is as
follows:
The ZigBee DIO module can control and monitor each traffic light at the
intersection based on the traffic light control system. During non-rush hour
periods, the traffic light control system can operate on a standalone basis.
However, when the traffic light control system needs to be operated manually, the
module also allows the system to be controlled by a remote host. The remote host
can be used to manage the time and the sequence of all traffic light control
systems. If the distance between two intersections is beyond the ZigBee DIO
module’s default transmission range, a ZigBee repeater can be added to extend
the transmission range.
