Introduction to the ZigBee DIO Data
Concentrator

Overview of the Functions

ZT-257x series modules contain a built-in ZigBee DIO data concentrator function. This function

can be used to automatically retrieve the status of a remote DIO channel via a ZigBee wireless

network, and then temporarily save the data to the corresponding Modbus register. After the

data has been stored, it means that the remote PAC is able to read the data once, and then,

using the Modbus protocol, write the data to multiple DIO channels on remote ZigBee

modules connected to the ZT-257x module via the Ethernet, RS-232, or RS-485 interface.

The ZigBee DIO data concentrator function can be used to easily establish communication

between a Zigbee wireless network and the Ethernet, meaning that the distributed DIO data

can be integrated, allowing a remote monitoring system to be quickly implemented.

The ZigBee DIO data concentrator supports a maximum of 280 digital channels and a

maximum of 32 ZT-2000-IOG series modules. Using the ZigBee DIO data concentrator allows

the architecture of a system to be simplified, while simultaneously expanding system flexibility

and reducing the traffic load on an Ethernet and ZigBee wireless network, thereby improving

system performance.
