1.Introduction
The ZB-2550/ZB-2550P/ZB-2550-T/ZB-2550-PA is hereinaf er
referred o as "ZB-2550 series" and he
ZB-2551/ZB-2551P/ZB-2551-T/ZB-2551-PA is hereinaf er
referred o as "ZB-2551 series".
ZigBee is a specifica ion based on he IEEE 802.15.4 s andard
for wireless personal area ne works (WPANs). ZigBee opera es in
he ISM radio bands and i s focus is o define a general-purpose,
inexpensive, self-organizing, mesh ne work ha can be used for
indus rial con rol, embedded sensing, medical da a collec ion,
smoke and in ruder warning, building au oma ion, home au oma ion,
and domo ics, e c.
A presen , he ICP DAS ZigBee conver er ZB-2550 series
and ZB-2550 series, suppor s he RS-232 and RS-485 in erfaces.
The main design goal is limi ed da a communica ion using wireless
ransmission, so may provide a be er solu ion for environmen s
where wiring is difficul .

1.1 More Information
The ZB-2550 series and he ZB-2551 series are small-sized
wireless ZigBee conver ers based on he IEEE 802.15.4 s andard.
They allow RS-485/RS-232 in erfaces o be conver ed o a
ZigBee wireless ne work. Only one ZB-2550 series (Hos ) is
allowed in a ZigBee ne work and is used o ini ialize and manage
he da a ransmission rou es. The ZB-2551 series (Slave) ZigBee
rou er is responsible for ransmi ing/receiving da a from i s
child/paren rou er or he hos . ICP DAS ZigBee produc s are
designed for low da a ra es. The main benefi of ICP DAS ZigBee
produc s is ha hey can be used o define a general-purpose,
self-organizing mesh ne work, which can be highly advan ageous
for indus rial con rol.
The ypical ransmission range of he ICP DAS Zigbee normal
version and T-version series conver er is 100m, and he P-version
and PA-version is 700m.
The ransmission frequency range of he ZigBee conver er is
be ween 2.405 GHz and 2.48 GHz, separa ed in o 5 MHz sec ors,

ZB-2550/ZB-2551 Series User Manual Ver1.3, Feb /2011 ---5
and provides 16 channels, and 65536 PAN IDs (65535 ne work
groups can be se ).
The ZigBee conver er includes a repea er module ha can be
used o increase communica ion range or preven da a loss if he
connec ion is in errup ed or becomes uns able. Please refer o

his Mode is he mos sui able.
In some applica ions where he hos con roller needs o broadcas da a
