What to consider when using ZigBee in the car

ZigBee Technology is a short-distance, low-power wireless communication technology. It is characterized by close range, low complexity, self-organization, low power consumption and low data rate. It is mainly suitable for automatic control and wireless remote controlling, and can be embedded in various electronic devices. In short, ZigBee chip is a cheap, low-power, near-range wireless ad-network communication technology.

Since ZigBee is a wireless ad-set network equipment, ZigBee installation mode will affect the transmission distance of the device, in order to maximize the transmission distance between ZigBee, in the installation of ZigBee should pay attention to the following points:

1, because the steel cabinets has a shielding signal role, for the installation of ZigBee chip, please do not set ZigBee complete equipment (including the antenna), placed inside the steel cabinets, please send the antenna steel cabinets, and use the vertical way to install the antenna.

2, in a ZigBee self-set network, please ensure that ZigBee chip's local address uniqueness, prevent address conflicts, affect data transmission.

3, the operating voltage of ZigBee should be between the 5v-35v, in-vehicle power supply should be provided within this voltage range, if below or above the voltage range, will affect the normal communication equipment, and even lead to equipment failure.

4, ZigBee is industrial-grade design, in the car can be used, but if ZigBee more than the node and the communication distance between nodes, the terminal can not communicate with the coordination node, the situation will appear off the line, back to the normal communication distance, the device rejoin the network, and re-register the connection, normal communication.
