Introduction
RFM’s XG2510HE WirelessHART gateway/network manager is based on Dust
Networks’ SmartMesh IA-510(H)
TM
protocol. The XG2510HE is designed to manage a
network of RFM’s XDM2510H radio modules that use Dust Networks’ low power radio
technology. In combination, these products provide carrier class data reliability, low
latency, and deterministic power management that is required for the industrial
automation market. The XG2510HE acts as both as a gateway and network manager for
up to 250 XDM2510H modules (motes), creating a self-configuring, reliable wireless
mesh network.
What is a SmartMesh Network?
SmartMesh networks are reliable, ultra low-power wireless mesh networks that can be
used for a wide variety of monitoring applications, including building automation,
industrial monitoring, and remote site security. A SmartMesh network consists of a
network manager and up to 250 low-power wireless transceivers that have connections
for analog, digital, and serial sensors and actuators.

- a line powered network node that controls and
monitors network performance. The XG2510HE coordinates routing, aggregates
XDM2510H packets, collects network statistics, and publishes data to a wired
network. The XG2510HE can publish data in XML format over the Ethernet port,
or in serial format over the serial port.
