The XBee RS-232 Adapter provides short range wireless connectivity to any RS-232 serial device, with available solutions for both mesh (including ZigBee) and point-to-multipoint networks.
Unlike an embedded wireless module, which requires design integration and development time, these off-the-shelf adapters provides instant wireless connectivity to existing RS-232 serial devices. All XBee adapters can be used with Digi's ConnectPort X gateways for data aggregation and IP connectivity.
The RS-232 connector is an industry-standard DB9 male connector with a DTE configuration, similar to a PC serial port.
Power options
Depending on adapter model, there are several powering options.
• Alkaline battery model - 3x1.5V “N” alkaline battery cells
• Lithium battery model - 2/3 AA 3.6V lithium batteries and a 1/2 AA boost capacitor
Data retrieval
Retrieving data from XBee adapters is done by issuing a remote AT IS
(Force Sample) command through the XBee API.
