4. Configuration
To configure a device, plug the XBEE stick into the computer. The driver of the stick
is installed automatically if the computer is connected to the Internet.
If the XBEE connection settings of the device should be reset, short-circuit
connector J8 and open it again. This switches the device to configuration mode. The
display (if present) shows "XBEE: Config", the measurement function is deactivated.
The device can be configured using the "Digalox
®
Manager" software. In particular,
the XBEE connection settings “Network ID” and “Link key” should be changed on
the General tab so that they differ from the default settings. Afterwards, the
measuring function is active. “Network ID” and “Link key” must be the same for all
devices of a network.
The XBEE role "Coordinator" must be assigned to one device. The coordinator
starts and manages the network. There can only be one coordinator and it must be
active at all times. The other devices should receive the XBEE role "Router". They
can connect to a started network and integrate other devices.
Using the XBEE remote values tab, 4 remote values can be read from other
devices. In order to display these remote values, they must be selected as value
types of display values on the display values tab.
For devices with a display, all values that are to be transmitted must also be visible
on the display. Devices without a display provide the first four display values. By
setting jumpers J4-J6, other display values are provided accordingly.
