Zigbee Pro Programmable Logic Controller interface (Is it possible).

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK, CC2530

Hi me again

Dumb questions a plenty.

Is it possible in some way to implement an RS-232 PLC -> Zigbee Pro interface on a Ti CC253X Device?

Or am I being stupid?

I already am running an Xbee Pro S2 version with Xbee Pro S2 factory nodes gathering data and driving relays etc, but I have implemented that with an Xbee Pro S2 coordinator coupled to the PLC serial port and I generate the frames using arrays and functions in the PLC.

The problem is that the customer now wants to use Zigbee Pro devices that are already available from china which we have been verifying with the Beaglebone Gateway (The worlds most awesome Zigbee debug tool ever).

I have no Idea what a 2007 or Pro frame looks like as I have never been able to find a frame structure diagram or sheet just stack calls.

Would be great if there was a list of frame data cross referenced to the instructions as then it would make sense. the new ZAP / ZNP API is awesome but I cant implement that on a PLC.

Might have to go Farmer Brown on it and back engineer the packets from the TI Sniffer and the data from the BBB Gateway.

Thanks in advance, any comments would be much appreciated.

    I think there is no problem to do it. You can use SampleLight and Sample Switch examples in Z-Stack Home as your templates. Build SampleLight as coordinator, SampleSwitch as end device, and enable MT commands. Then, you don't have to send ZNP command to assign PANID, channel mask, .... and start Zigbee network.

    Thanks heaps YK Chen

    You are awesome.

    Will the sample light allow me to talk to pre existing HA profile devices ?

    The upside is that they are al cc2530 based endpoints and routers but I don't create the firmware for them.

    The suggestion regarding the MT commands, sounds great though I am now showing my ignorance as I don't have any information on them.

    Is there a document I can download listing them?

    Thanks again.

    Yes, Sample light/Switch supposes to allow you to talk to pre existing HA profile devices. If you install Z-Stack Home, you will have Z-Stack Monitor and Test API.pdf under document folder.
