The XBee RS-485 PH Adapter provides short range wireless connectivity to any RS-485 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 provide instant wireless connectivity to existing RS-485 serial devices. All XBee adapters can be used with Digi's ConnectPort X gateways for data aggregation and IP connectivity.
The connector for the adapter is a 6-position wire terminal block. The adapter is switch-selectable between RS-422 half duplex, RS-422 full duplex, and RS-485 modes.
Data retrieval
Retrieving data from XBee adapters is done by issuing a remote AT IS (Force Sample) command through the XBee API.
