Hello,
I want to create a network of XBee Pro S2B modules, which could be replaced when they are broken, so the only way I can see to uniquely identify them, even after replacement, is the Node Identifier. 64-bit addresses will change at replacement and 16-bit addresses are handed out by the coordinator and can not be set. (correct me if I’m wrong)
But then I am wondering, since I work in API mode (all error handling done by firmware so I want this), is it possible to create an API frame to transmit a certain piece of data to a certain node with known Node Identifier? If not, how can I know to which address I should send a certain package if I have for example 20 end devices and one of the XBees in them have been recplaced?
I want a maintenance technician to be able to replace the XBee without software reprogramming needed. At boot-up the Arduino to which it is connected can of course set al necessary settings correct, as long as they can be changed.
Kind regards,
Davy Van Rossem
