How to Use KYL-500L KYL-500L can provide RS-232, RS-485 and TTL level interface port for direct connection with PC, RS485 devices, monolithic processors. The schematic diagram is shown below: 1. Power supply The factory setting is DC 3.6V. Using better ripple factor, KYL-500L transceivers Fax: +86-755-83408785 [email protected] www.rf-data.com 3 Shenzhen KYL Communication Equipment Co., Ltd can also share power supply with other equipments. If available, a voltage-stabilizing chip with 3.6V voltage is more recommended as the power supplier than Switch power. But if only switch power supply available, the jam caused by switch pulse should be avoided. In addition, a reliable grounding must be used if there are other devices in the system. In case of failing to connect with the ground, it can form its own grounding but must be absolutely separated from the municipal electric supply. 2. Connection Definition with terminal KYL-500L transceivers provide one 9-pin connector (JP1), their definitions and connection methods with terminals are shown in Table 1.

The LED indicator light will turn red for 0.5S once switched on. b. The LED indicator light will turn green continually while receiving data from air. c. The LED indicator light will turn red continuously when transmitting data into air after receiving data from COM. d. If the module moves to sleep mode, LED indicator light is always dark. 7. Supported protocol and Transmit capability KYL-500L standard transceivers offer transparent protocol to support various applications and protocols. If the user needs to decrease his cost or ease the workload of terminal CPU, we can add other specific functions based on the transparent protocol, such as addressing, data acquisition, command interpretation, etc. 8. Sleep function instruction: In order to reduce more consumption, KYL-500L transceivers support Sleep function. In sleep mode, the current consumption is less than 1uA. a. How to use the Sleep function: The Pin8 ‘SLP’ in JP1 is the signal of sleep control. At high power level, transceiver stays in working mode. At low power level (<0.5V), transceiver stays in sleep mode. The SLP signal can convert transceiver from working to sleep mode in 1ms after falling edge. If the Sleep signal arrives when the transceiver is transmitting data, the module will enter sleep mode after finishing transmission. From sleep mode to working, it takes the transceiver 1ms after rising edge. To disable the opened sleep function of KYL-500L, the SLP (SLEEP) pin should be definitely connected with 0 or ground. b. Attentions about the use of sleep function: When the sleep function enabled, any supply glitches, such as switch dithering, fire striking or quick switching on and off may cause the transceiver moving to wrong sleep mode. Users can avoid this error by making a compulsive restoration once the CPU Fax: +86-755-83408785 [email protected] www.rf-data.com 6 Shenzhen KYL Communication Equipment Co., Ltd delays 100ms after switching on Sleep Timing Diagram: 9. Attentions about data transmission a. The delay time (tc) of conversion between transmitting and receiving is less than 1ms. Timing diagram: b. The delay time of transceivers between the first bit sent by TxD to the first bit received by RxD. As data processing happens on user’s data by KYL-500L transceiver using FEC (Forward Error Correction) or other correction algorithm, when RxD of KYL-500L transceiver ‘A’ receives the data, then transmits it, the other one transceiver ‘B’ will have a delay (ts) to receive and transmit by TxD. Different RF data rate causes different delay time. Please see the specific delay time below: RF Date Rate Delay RF Date Rate Delay (bps) Ts(mS) (bps) Ts(mS) 1200 90 9600 16 Fax: +86-755-83408785 [email protected] www.rf-data.com 7 Shenzhen KYL Communication Equipment Co., Ltd 2400 48 4800 30 19200 10 Timing diagram: c. Error dealing procedure: To enhance the reliability and stability of user’s systems, a verified bit or a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) mode is highly recommended to resist wrong information while using KYL-500L modules. d. Large-number data transmission In theory, when the interface data rate is faster than the RF data rate, KYL-500L transceivers can sent unlimited-long data package, but any long packages more than 120B are not recommended. The length of each package should be between 60~100B. We also recommend users to resist the wrong information by using Automatic Error Request Equipment (ARQ). Reasons: If the actual transmission BER (Bit Error Rate) is 10-4, 1 packet with 1KB data, which is about 10-thousand bits, is sent, theoretically, at least 1 bit will be received wrongly. So the 1KB information will never be received correctly. But if we package the data into 10 packets with 100B for each, when all 10 packets are sent, there will be only 1 packet wrong according to this probability. After that, it will resend this wrong packet using ARQ mode. So resending one more packet and the efficiency rate is reduced 10%, all data will be absolutely received correctly. 10. Antenna configuration: Many appropriative antennas for low power RF modules are selected to meet different users’ antenna configurations.

V. Network Application of KYL-500L The communication channel of KYL-500L is half duplex, which is most suitable for the communication mode of point to multi-point. Under this mode, one master station must be set, and all of the rest are slave stations. A unique address is given to each station. The coordination of communication is controlled by master station that uses data frames containing address code to transmit data or command. Slave station will receive all of the data and command and compare the received address code with local address code. If they are different, the data will be deserted without Fax: +86-755-83408785 [email protected] www.rf-data.com 9 Shenzhen KYL Communication Equipment Co., Ltd any response. If those address codes are the same, it means the data is sent to the local. Slave station will make different responses according to the transmitted data or command and send back the data of response. All these jobs must be performed by upper protocol, and it is assured that there is only one transmitter-receiver in the state of transmission in the communication network at any instant moment so as to avoid the cross-interference. KYL-500L can also be used for point-to-point communication with easier operation. For the programming of serial port, all you have to do is to remember that its communication mode is semi duplex while always observing the time sequence of come-and-go for receiving and transmitting.
