    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.
  • Page 4 Overview of the ZT-257x Series The ZT-2570 and ZT-2571 series modules are small-sized wireless ZigBee converters based on the IEEE802.15.4 standard that allow devices based on the RS-232, RS-485 and Ethernet interfaces to be integrated into a personal area ZigBee network. In addition, the transmission frequency can be adjusted in the range from 2405 MHz to 2480 MHz, separated into 5 MHz sectors, providing 16 channels and 16384 PAN IDs (i.e., Pan ID, 0x0000 to 0x3FFF).
