F2M01SXA Applications General Description The F2M01SXA Serial Port Plug can be connected to applications that currently use cables for serial communication. The F2M01SXA is also ideal if you are looking for a reliable and robust wireless link between any RS-232 enabled devices. The Ad-Hoc connectivity will connect the serial link as soon as the communicating devices are within range of each other. The F2M01SXA offers an intuitive serial cable replacement by using a wireless link, based on Bluetooth® technology. Examples of possible applications are: • • • • Embedded systems Stand alone sensors Computer peripherals Domestic and industrial appliances BLUETOOTH is a trademark owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc., U.S.A. and licensed to Free2move With its small size, long range, high voltage range and reliable data transmission, the F2M01SXA is the obvious choice for the most demanding wireless applications. No external drivers are needed, and pairing to another Bluetooth® device is as easy as pressing a button. Two LEDs are used to monitor the current status of the device and if any data transmission are present. The device uses a fault detection system indication if an invalid RS232 device is attached to the F2M01SXA. A user-friendly Windows application is available for configuration to suit Your requirements. The F2M01SXA can be used together with other Bluetooth® units supporting the Bluetooth® Serial Port Profile (SPP), Dial Up Networking (DUN) and HCI, e.g. Laptops, PDA and mobile phones. © 2008 Free2move AB Page 1(10) Rev: 2008-12-09 Serial Port Plug - F2M01SXA Datasheet Table of contents 1 Hardware specification..........................................................................................................3 1.1 1.2 1.3 2 Device overview .....................................................................................................................4 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 2.8 3 Power supply .................................................................................................................................. 3 Power consumption ........................................................................................................................ 3 Radio performance ......................................................................................................................... 3 Green LED ...................................................................................................................................... 4 Blue LED ......................................................................................................................................... 5 Button.............................................................................................................................................. 5 D-sub............................................................................................................................................... 5 Mini-USB ......................................................................................................................................... 6 Screw .............................................................................................................................................. 6 Label ............................................................................................................................................... 6 Default configuration ....................................................................................................................... 6 Certifications ..........................................................................................................................7 3.1 3.2 3.3 Bluetooth® ....................................................................................................................................... 7 CE ................................................................................................................................................... 7 FCC................................................................................................................................................. 7 4 RoHS Statement.....................................................................................................................8 5 Ordering information .............................................................................................................9 © 2008 Free2move AB Page 2(10) Rev: 2008-12-09 Serial Port Plug - F2M01SXA Datasheet 1 Hardware specification Physical size: 37x17x60 (WxHxL) mm Voltage range: 5-30V DC (regulated) Current consumption (max): 300mA Temperature range: -40°C to +85°C Baud rate: Configurable up to 230400 baud/s 1.1 Power supply The F2M01SXA is using external power supply and need to be powered either via pin 9 on the D-sub or the mini-USB connector.

The green LED will flash one time (independent of the LED configuration) if no valid RS-232 transceiver is connected during power up (No indication if a valid signal is present). 1 HCM – Host Controlled Mode (During configuration of the device) © 2008 Free2move AB Page 4(10) Rev: 2008-12-09 Serial Port Plug - F2M01SXA Datasheet 2.2 Blue LED The blue LED indicates if there are data transmitted from and to the Plug via the connected D-sub. The indication is on as default but is possible to disable during configuration. 2.3 Button The button has two functions depending on the current state of the device. 1. Auto connect if the button is pressed for more than 15 seconds 2. Disconnect 2.3.1 Auto connect The Auto connect feature can be activated by pressing the button down for more than 15 seconds. The F2M01SXA will now start to search and connect to the first available remote devices supporting SPP (Serial Port Profile) in reachable distance. It can’t be easier to connect two F2M01SXA to each other; simply push down the button on ONE of the device and they will try to pair. The F2M01SXA will change state to “connected” if Auto connect was successful. 2.3.2 Disconnect It is possible to disconnect an active Bluetooth connection (State: connected) by simply pressing the button. 2.4 D-sub The 9 pin D-sub is RS-232 compatible and support baud rates up to 230400bps. The F2M01SXA has signaling as a DCE (Data Communication Equipment) and is intended to be connected to a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) e.g. a Computer. The F2M01SXA has hardware flow control (CTS/RTS signals) activated by default and is recommended to be used to get reliable data transmissions. It is though possible to deactivate Hardware flow control by configuration. The two extra RS-232 signals; DTR and DSR can be configured in three different modes. 1. Emulate serial handshaking lines 2. Bluetooth control – The DTR signal is used to disconnect an active Bluetooth connection and the DSR signal will indicate when you have an established Bluetooth connection. 3. Don’t care.
