Chapter 2 Communication option
2.1.2 Overview of ZBee communication option
ZBee works in the following network of devices:
A transmission/reception device called a coordinator is connected to a PC for communication. Each
scale has a built-in a ZBee board (called an end device) for the communication with the coordinator.
Unlike the Bluetooth communication, no pairing is required between a coordinator and a scale. A coor -
dinator is capable of communicating with any scale that are detected by it.
One coordinator can communicate with up to 10 scales. If more scales are needed to connect to the
communication network, or the distance between a coordinator and a scale is too long to establish
communications, a relaying device called a router is installed. The following figure shows the relation -
ship between a coordinator, routers and end devices.
