3 Setting up the ZT-2000 I/O Device
3.1 Introduction to the Configuration
Parameters
A. The “ZB PID”parameter is the group identity for a ZigBee network, and must be
same for all devices in the same ZigBee network.
B. The “Node ID”parameter is the individual identity of the specific ZigBee module, and
must be unique for each device connected to the same ZigBee network.
C. The “ZB Channel”parameter indicates the radio frequency channel, and must be set
to the same value as other modules on the same ZigBee network.
ZB Channel

0x0F
Frequency (MHz)
2405

※ ZB channels 0x04, 0x09, 0x0E or 0x0F are recommended because they do not overlap with
Wi-Fi frequency band.
D. Protocol/Application Mode:
When implementing custom programs based on different protocols, the following
application mode(s) are recommended in order to ensure optimal performance.

4 The Rotary Switch and DIP Switches
The configuration of the ZT-2018/S can be adjusted using a combination of the external
rotary switch and the DIP switches. The ZT-2000 device should only be rebooted once the
configuration is completed.

5 Starting the ZT-2000 I/O Device
As the ZigBee network is controlled by the ZigBee Coordinator, the ZT-2550/ZT-2570
(ZigBee Coordinator) must be configured first. Refers to the documents shown below for full
details of how to configure these devices.
Once configuration of the ZigBee Coordinator has been completed, set the “Pan ID”and “RF
Channel”values for the ZT-2000 I/O device to the same values as the network and then
reboot the device.The module will automatically start to function on the ZigBee network using
the default protocol.

7 Communications Testing
Once the ZT-2000 I/O device has joined the ZigBee network, the signal quality can be
confirmed by monitoring the status of the ZigBee Net LED indicators. If the LED indicator
shows a steady light, communication with the ZT-2000 I/O device has been successfully
established for data acquisition and control.
ICP DAS also provides the “DCON Utility”, which can be used to simulate DCON/Modbus
communication. This software can alse be used to verify the device settings and ZigBee I/O
functions.
※The DCON Utility can be downloaded from:
http://ftp.icpdas.com/pub/cd/8000cd/napdos/driver/dcon_utility/
Simulating I/O channel operation via the DCON Utility
1. Launch the DCON Utility and select the appropriate COM Port settings to connect to the
ZigBee Coordinator (ZT-2550/ZT-2570).
2. Click the “Search”button to start searching for ZT-2000 I/O devices connected to the same
ZigBee network.
3. If any ZT-2000 I/O devices are found, they will be displayed in the device list windows.
Double-click the name of the module to start the operating platform.

8 Troubleshooting
(1)Technical Support.
If you have any difficulties using your ZT-2000 series I/O device, please send a
description of the problem to [e-mail]
Include the following items in your email:
 A description or diagram of the current DIP switch positions.
 A copy of the configuration file for the ZT-2000 coordinator. This file can be obtained
using the procedure outlined below and should be attached to your email.
a. Set the DIP switch of the ZT-255x device to the [ZBSET] position then reboot the
device. Launch the ZT Configuration Utility and select [Save Log] icon to save the
configuration of the ZT-255x as a file.
b. After clicking the [Save Log] icon, enter the “File Name”and the “File Path”in the
Windows “Save”dialog box. Once the configuration has been successfully saved, the
following message will be displayed.
