1.General introduction
1.1 Brief introduction
E180-ZG120A is a small, low-power, high-reliability, 2.4GHz ZIGBEE module
based on Silicon Labs EFR32MG1B, which is designed and produced by Chengdu
Ebyte. The chip comes with high-performance 32-bit ARM Cortex. -M4 core, integrated
internal power amplifier, transmit power up to 20dBm.
EFR32 is a wireless microcontroller for smart home, IoT transformation and industrial automation. EFR32 network
characteristics belong to ZIGBEE 3.0 standard and provide a complete application integration solution based on
IEEE802.15.4 standard ISM band.
E180-ZG120A was certified by a series of authoritative RF instruments, support serial port transparent transmission mode. It also
integrates self-organizing network function, provides multi-channel configurable AD, IO, PWM interface.
1.2 Characteristic function
Centralized network management: ZIGBEE 3.0 security standard centralized network access mechanism, data
security and reliability;
Green Power: ZIGBEE 3.0 power management mechanism, the entire network power consumption is lower, node
power consumption uA level;
Interoperability: ZigBee 3.0 standard network mechanism, support network protocols such as ZHA and ZLL.
Large capacity: 256K flash, 32K RAM, network nodes can be extended to more than 100;
Role switch: Users can switch freely between the coordinator, router, end-device and sleep-end-device via UART
command.
TOUCHLINK: Support TOUCHLINK network protocol, it is mainly used in lighting control, which simplifies
ZigBee network form. It can also establish a simple and stable ZigBee network without coordinator.
Support a variety of network topology: point-to-point, star network, MESH network;
Network self-healing: when network intermediate nodes are lost, other networks automatically join or maintain the
original network;
Auto Routing: The module supports the network routing function
；
Address search: User can find the corresponding short address according to the MAC address (unique, fixed) of the
added network node, and can also find the corresponding long address of each node in network according to the
short address of the node;
Data security: Integrated with ZigBee 3.0 security communication standard, the network contains multi-level
security keys;
UART configuration: Module built-in UART commands, the user can configure (view) the parameters and functions
of module via UART command .
Change network PAN_ID: Network PAN_ID switch freely. Users can define PAN_ID to join the corresponding
network by themselves or automatically select PAN-ID to join the network.
Network opening time can be configured and can be configured to open the network for a period of time. During
this period, ZigBee 3.0-compliant devices can join the network. After this period of time, the network will be shut
