ZB108 wireless programmable micro-controller

ZB108 is a wireless programmable micro-controller that makes it possible to eliminate centralised PLCs, control cubicles and field-bus cabling. It has embedded intelligence to enable independent operation for stand-alone control and monitoring applications. It also features ''Zigbee'' wireless networking, which operates at the 2.4GHz licence-free IEEE 802.15.4 international standard providing two-way communications up to 100m between nodes, with routing over multiple nodes for larger networks and longer distances. Encryption and alternative routing of messages in the event of a single node failure ensures additional security. This micro-controller integrates 4 PNP digital inputs, 4 FET short circuit outputs and a RS232/RS422/RS485 selectable serial connection with LED diagnostics. The unit accepts 12-24VDC to cater for both mobile and fixed plant monitoring applications.
