Introduction 1.
The ZcoRE3-2400 serial OEM transceiver module is a small size, high performance wireless
module, which is designed to provide a cost efficient solution for reliable data transmission and
low power consumption. It is ideal for low data rate wireless applications, including sensor
monitoring, building automation, security systems and any other application requiring low power
consumption. The ZcoRE3-2400 module family includes devices that work at two different RF
power, including 0dBm and 18dBm, to enable license-free operations in varies applications.
The ZcoRE3-2400 module offers data communication capabilities to application equipment
via a standard UART interface. Using a pair of ZcoRE3-2400 wireless modules, users can transfer
data between almost any type of equipment that use this interface.
The ZcoRE3-2400 module provides two power modes, normal working mode and sleep
mode, which has very low power consumption since the device can neither transmit nor receive
data in this mode. Switching to sleep mode whenever possible generally creates significant energy
savings, which is important for battery-powered systems.
These modules are preloaded wireless sensor mesh network application (RAEMESH), which
was developed based on EmberZnet 2.23 mesh stack. This documentation also describes the
RAEMESH Module Command Interface (RMCI) for IEEE 802.15.4/Zigbee enabled RF Module
(RCM), Including ZcoRE3 (20)-2400 and ZcoRE3-2400.
By using RMCI, users can easily integrate the mesh radio into a wide range of applications
without pain to develop the mesh stack by themselves and no RF expertise is required.
