ZigBee Wireless Communication Technology in Industrial Controls

ZigBee~(TM) is a short range wireless communication protocol characterized by its low data rate,low power consumption and low cost.Compared with other wireless communication technologies,ZigBee has advantages in its connection security,network expandability,equipment cost and battery life,thus presenting great potential in industrial control application.The implementation of ZigBee wireless network into Modbus fieldbus control system would not only ensure the security and real time of the connection but also reduce the cost of deployment and redeployment.
