ZigBee Products

The RFM ZigBee product line includes two series of RF modules (ZMN2430 and the ZMN2405) and the ZG-2400E ZigBee Gateway boxed radio that is used with RFM ZigBee modules. RFM ZigBee products are based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and the ZigBee protocol stack. The ZMN2430 series is the newest in the RFM's line of ZigBee modules, boasting an ultra-small footprint of 0.8 square inch while the ZMN2405 footprint is 1.5 square inches. Both are available in low-power 1 mW RF power and 100 mW high power. Click on the tabs below for more information about each RF modules series or boxed radio family.

LOW-POWER. Comprised of the low-power 1mW RF power ZMN2430 / ZMN2430A and the high power 100mW RF power ZMN2430ER / ZMN2430ERA, the ZMN2430 series modules are based on the CC2430 SOC, the sleep current is less than 3uA for the entire module.

FLEXIBILITY. ZMN2430 Series modules include the CSM private profile firmware which features a flexible and simple-to-use Application Programming Interface. Designers can also write their own code if desired.

SLEEP CAPABILITY. ZMN2430 series modules provide years of battery operation supported through two sleep modes. Timer sleep allows the module to be configured to wake as often as every 100 milliseconds or as infrequently as once every 3.5 years. Interrupt sleep lets the module sleep until it is awoken by an edge triggered interrupt. Regardless of what wakes the module, the designer can configure the module to remain awake for up to 2 seconds after sending its data to provide an opportunity for an application to communicate to the module before it returns to sleep.

I/O AND AUTO REPORT CAPABILITY. ZMN2430 series modules feature Analog, Digital and Serial I/O.

  • Standard UART interface for serial communications plus 6 GPIO, 3 ADCs, and 2 DACs (PWMs)
  • Auto-reporting features allow many sensor nodes to be built without a dedicated microcontroller - the micro-controller on the module does all the work
  • Auto-reporting mode provides module I/O updates based on timer or interrupts - without the need for the application to poll or otherwise request data
  • Interrupts are generated by edge-triggered events - and any interrupt can be used to wake a sleeping mode and have the module send its I/O data
SAME FORM FACTOR. At 1.05 sq. inch footprint, the ZMN2430 series has the same form factor as RFM’s IEEE 802.15.4 LPR2430 series modules, Wi-Fi WSN802G modules and wireless mesh XDM2140 series modules.

SAME PINOUT as RFM’s IEEE 802.15.4 LPR2430 series modules, Wi-Fi WSN802G modules and wireless mesh XDM2140 series modules.

FCC / IC / ETSI CERTIFIED. The LPR2430 series modules are certified for unlicensed operation in the USA, Canada and Europe.
