Steps to Zigbee Technology:

It`s like a technology as Bluetooth. Bluetooth is the one which can send
data`s wireless. But it has some limitations, that can send data`s only up to 10
meters. So in order to overcome the limitations of Bluetooth in wide application
area Zigbee is introduced.

Zigbee:
The wireless mode of communication.

 Multimode Data Sending System- Can send data`s up to 100 mts. Speed
up to 250 Kbps. The Zigbee Modules interface to a host device through a logic-
level asynchronous serial port. Through its serial port, the module can
communicate with any logic and voltage compatible UART; or through a level
translator to any serial device (For example: Through a Digit proprietary RS-232
or USB interface board).
Data flow diagram for zigbee module : -

 Zigbee module follows IEEE 802.15.4

 Additional stack layers are defined by the Zigbee module
 Zigbee used open global standard for making low-power wireless networks
 It follows different network topologies with data security features and
interoperable application profiles
It includes wide spectrum of categories
IEEE 802.15.4 provides ultra low complexity, low cost, low power consumption,
and low data rate wireless connectivity among inexpensive devices.
Application of Zigbee Technology:

Development of a prototype street light control system using

Zigbee technology.

Developed control system is composed of 3 different units ,

 Remote concentrator,
 Remote centralized control system and
 Remote street light control terminal.

Among them, remotse concentrator and remote street light control terminal are
H/W based system and remote centralized control system.

Remote Terminal Unit : -
 It is used to control the street light. We use current
transformer and potential transformer for measuring
current and voltage of the individual lamp. By using the
two parameters we can detect which type of fault occurred
in the terminal unit. The details about the faults are send
to the Remote concentrator through RF TX/RX module.
Remote Concentrator : -
This unit has ability to monitor and control the
street lights in more than one area. In this area we
use lcd for monitoring the status of the street
lights. The RF TX/RX module is used to receive
the status of street light from the various terminal
unit.
It also sends information to Remote centralized
control system about every terminal unit which
one is connected to remote concentrator through
GSM modem.s
Remote centralized control system:
 The remote centralized control system having the
major function of monitoring more than one Remote
Concentrator. It also used to turn on and turn off the
street lights regularly .
QUERIES
Conclusion:
Hence Zigbee technology is widely used in application area
but it too has some limitations which are speed is less while applied in
large scale industries also distance that can send also is up to 100 mts.
