1 Inftroduction
1.1 Introduction to ZigBee
ZigBee is a specification for a suite of high-level communication protocols
using small, low-power digital radios based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for
personal area networks. ZigBee devices are often used in mesh network form to
transmit data over longer distances, passing data through intermediate devices to
reach more distant ones. This allows ZigBee networks to be formed ad-hoc, with
no centralized control or high-power transmitter/receiver able to reach all of the
devices. Any ZigBee device can be tasked with running the network.
ZigBee is targeted at applications that require a low data rate, long battery life,
and secure networking. ZigBee has a defined rate of 250 kbit/s, best suited for
periodic or intermittent data or a single signal transmission from a sensor or input
device. Applications include wireless light switches, electrical meters with
in-home-displays, traffic management systems, and other consumer and industrial
equipment that requires short-range wireless transfer of data at relatively low
rates. The technology defined by the ZigBee specification is intended to be simpler
and less expensive than other WPANs.

1.2 Introduction to the ZT-2005-C8
The ZT-2005-C8 is an 8 channel thermistor input module, it can monitor the
resistance change of thermistor to get temperatue.
The ZT-2005-C8 is a wireless ZigBee module, it need to communicate with
ZigBee coordinator. The information of ZigBee coordinator can refer ZT-2550 or
ZT-2570. Otherwise, users can use rotary switch and DIP switch to set address (or
ZigBee Node ID, NID) of module, protocol, DCON checksum, ZigBee RF Power,
ZigBee Pan ID (PID), and ZigBee channel.

3.3 Starting the ZT-2005-C8
As the ZigBee network is controlled by the ZigBee Coordinator, the
ZT-2550/ZT-2570 (ZigBee Coordinator) must be configured first. Refer to the documents
section below for full details of how to configure these devices.
Once configuration of the ZigBee Coordinator has been completed, set the “ZB PID”
and “ZB 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.

3.5 Communications Testing
Once the ZT-2005-C8 module has joined the ZigBee network, the signal quality can
be comfirmed by monitoring the status of the ZigBee Net LED indicators. If the LED
indicator shows a steady light, communication with the ZT-2005-C8 module 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 also be used to verify the device
settings and ZT-2005-C8 functions.
The DCON Utility Pro can be download from:
http://ftp.icpdas.com/pub/cd/8000cd/napdos/driver/dcon_utility/
Simulating I/O channel via the DCON Utility Pro
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-2005-C8 modules connected
to the same ZigBee network.
3. If any ZT-2005-C8 modules are found, they will be displayed in the device list
window. Double-click the list of the module name to start the platform to operate
the I/O channels.

5 The DCON/Modbus RTU Command Sets
5.1 Communication with the ZT-2005-C8 module
ZT-2005-C8 module can be operated using either the DCON or the Modbus RTU
protocol, which can be selected by adjusting the position of DIP Switch 2 to OFF (DCON)
or ON (Modbus RTU) and then rebooting the ZT-2005-C8 to use the new protocol.
5.2 The DCON Protocol Command Set
The ZT-2005-C8 are controlled via wireless broadcast commands, so each device
must have a unique address (or Node ID) that is saved in the EEPROM of the device.
Consequently, all command and response formats contain the address of the
destination module. When an I/O device receives a command, it will determine whether
or not to respond based on the address contained in the command.

※Note: ‘CR’ (0x0D) is the end of command (carriage return) character used to end a

5.2.1 Checksum
Calculation the Checksum:
Sum the ASCII codes of all the characters contained in the command in addition
to the ‘CR’ terminator. The Checksum is the sum value expressed in
Hexadecimal format.
Example: Command ”$012(CR)”
Sum = ‘$’ + ‘0’ + ‘1’ + ‘2’ = 24h + 30h + 31h + 32h = B7h
Checksum = “B7”
DCON Command with Checksum =“$012B7(CR)”
Example: Response ”!01200600(CR)”
Sum = ‘!’ + ‘0’ + ‘1’ + ‘2’ + ‘0’ + ‘0’ + ‘6’ + ‘0’ + ‘0’
= 21h+30h+31h+32h+30h+30h+36h+30h+30h
= 1AAh
Checksum = “AA”
DCON Response with Checksum = “!01200600AA(CR)”
※Note: The Checksum is the sum value expressed in capital letters.
