Schneider Electric – METSIM6BZ – METSIM 6‑BZ ZigBee Battery‑Powered I/O Module
The Schneider Electric METSIM6BZ (also referenced as METSIM 6‑BZ) is a wireless, battery-powered I/O module designed for the Acti 9 Smartlink / iRIO ecosystem. It facilitates remote monitoring and control in energy management systems, transmitting data over ZigBee to a gateway like the EGX105Z. Ending components for legacy hardwired I/O modules in industrial or small–medium building automation applications.
Key Features:
Model: METSIM6BZ – ZigBee battery I/O module
Power Supply: 3.6 V internal battery—no external power required
I/O Capabilities: Likely supports six pulse/state inputs, two analogue inputs, and possibly two digital outputs—similar to wired METSIM modules
Wireless Protocol: ZigBee for robust WPAN communication up to ~15–30 m indoors, extending to ~100 m line‑of‑sight
Integration: Communicates with Acti9 Smartlink gateways (e.g., EGX105Z) for data collection via Modbus or Ethernet
Mounting: Compact DIN‑rail form factor, similar size to standard modular Smartlink units
