Layout PCB for Both XE900S-500 and XE900SL10
Despite the fact that the XE900S-500 is substantially
larger module than the XE900SL10, a common PCB
layout can be used to support both products. This
makes it easy to accommodate applications which
include nodes with both long range and short range
requirements.
The XE900SL10 requires a separate pin row for Pins 10
through 14. These pins will be hidden under the XE900S500 module when the larger module is installed. The
XE900SL10 also includes one unique signal, Reset.
Reset is an active high signal that can be left
unconnected if no external reset is desired.
The XE900S-500 and XE900SL10 can share board layout
because of common pin assignments. Pins 1 through 8
of the XE900SL10 are equivalent to Pins 3 through 10 on
the XE900S-500; they have the same functions and are
placed in the same sequence. Pin 9 on the XE900SL10 is
an unused pin and therefore does not conflict with the
ADC1 signal assigned to Pin 11 of the XE900S-500.
The figure below shows the overlapping layout that
supports both modules. The XE900S-500 outline and
pins are shown in green. XE900SL10 pins and outline are
shown in red.

Using the XE900SL10 Power Saving Modes
The XE900SL10 includes three low power operating
modes (RF Monitor, Sleep and Power-Down Modes) to
allow the host application to make maximum use of the
available power. The #P command determines how the
transceiver will operate when not being asked to
transmit or receive an RF signal. Below are descriptions
of all of the XE900SL10 operating modes.
RF Monitor Mode: The XE900SL10 RF monitor mode
has 4 settings. At each of these settings the transceiver
sits in power down mode for a prescribed period of time.
The transceiver then wakes up, turns on its receiver and
checks for incoming messages. If no messages are
received the transceiver returns to power down mode
after about 200 milliseconds. If a carrier is detected, the
transceiver completes the transaction before returning
to power down mode. Intervals of 2 seconds (#P3), 4
seconds (#P4), 8 seconds (#P5) and 16 seconds (#P6)
can be chosen.
IDLE: In Idle Mode all circuits within the XE900SL10 are
powered and available for immediate action. This
includes the RF receiver which actively monitors the air
for an incoming communications request. Current draw
in Idle Mode is typically 18 milliamps.
RF Receive Mode: In RF Receive Mode the XE900SL10
is actively receiving an incoming 900 MHz data signal.
Current draw in RF Receive Mode is less than 30
milliamps.
SLEEP: In Sleep Mode all circuits within the XE900SL10
are powered-down to reduce consumption. The
XE900SL10 will not accept commands or respond to
incoming RF communications requests. Any input on
the TXD line will wake the transceiver and return it either
the Idle or Power-Down Mode which ever mode it was
last in before being put into Sleep Mode. Current draw in
Sleep Mode is less than 40 microamps.
RF Transmit Mode: In RF Transmit Mode the
XE900SL10 is actively transmitting a 900 MHz data
signal. Current draw in Transmit mode is no more than
55 milliamps with the transmit output power set to
maximum, 10 milliwatts.
Power-Down: In Power-Down Mode all RF circuitry is
shut down but the communications controller remains
active to accept AT commands. In this mode the
XE900SL10 cannot respond to incoming RF
communications requests. If a Transmit RF or Receive
RF command is received, the XE900SL10 can activate the
RF section in under 200 microseconds. Current draw in
Power-Down Mode is less than 500 microamps.
AT Command Control
The low power modes are controlled by the AT#Pn
command, see below.
AT#P0 - Sets the transceiver to Idle mode.
AT#P1 - Sets the transceiver to Sleep Mode.
AT#P2 - Sets the transceiver for Power-Down Mode.
AT#P3 - RF Monitor Mode (2 second interval)
AT#P4 - RF Monitor Mode (4 second interval)
AT#P5 - RF Monitor Mode (8 second interval)
AT#P6 - RF Monitor Mode (16 second interval)

XE900SL10
XE900SL10 COMMUNICATIONS CONTROLLER
The XE900SL10 uses an internal micro-controller to
control communications. This micro-controller manages
the interface to the host system, determines when the
communications link is available, and formats data for
the RF communications.
Command Prefix - Each command, except the A/
command, begins with the AT prefix. The "A" and "T"
may be either both upper case or both lower case but
cannot be of different cases. The prefix identifies parity of
the commands sent to the XE900SL10 by comparing the
parity bits of the "A" and the "T" characters.
HOST INTERFACE
There are two primary interfaces between the XE900SL10
and the system host; the serial interface and the direct
sensor interface supported by the SensorOnAir™
feature. Management of both interfaces is the
responsibility of the communications controller.
Command Line - Commands may be strung together in a
single command line of up to 30 characters. Commands in
the command string are executed in the sequence they
appear.
Serial Interface
A 4-signal serial interface links the host to the XE900SL10.
For most applications the XE900SL10 acts as a DCE.
Control and configuration of the XE900SL10 takes place
through the serial interface using modem-like AT
commands. Serial data rates from 1200 bits per second to
115.2K bits per second are supported. The serial interface
signals are listed below.
/TXD - Transmit Data; the input to the XE900SL10 for
AT commands and Data to be transmitted on the
wireless network.
/RXD - Received Data; the output from the XE900SL10
for received RF data and responses to AT
commands.
Omitted Parameters - Most commands include a
parameter which determines the function setting. When
the command parameter is omitted from the command
string, it is assumed to be a 0.
Result Codes - A result code is normally issued after each
action. Result codes may be provided as full words, one
or two digit numeric codes, or may be disabled all
together. Each result code ends with a carriage return
when numeric result codes are chosen. When full word
result codes are chosen, a Line Feed and Carriage Return
precede and follow each result code.
Disconnect Sequence - A three character sequence
initiates a disconnect of the wireless link. The sequence
“~~~” is assigned to disconnect the link.
DIRECT CONNECTION OF SENSORS:
SensorOnAir™
Sensors can be connected directly to the XE900SL10
without requiring an applications controller. In this
SensorOnAir ™ configuration the XE900SL10
communications controller controls the operation of the
sensors.
/RTS - Request to Send, provides the hardware flow
control input to the XE900SL10. The DTE
deactivates /RTS to stop the XE900SL10 from
sending more data on the RXD line.
/CTS - Clear to Send, is the hardware flow control output
from the XE900SL10. The XE900SL10 deactivates
/CTS to advise the host to stop inputting data
on the TXD lead.
XE900SL10 AT Command Format
AT commands issued to the XE900SL10 follow a strict
format. Each command begins with the prefix AT and
ends with a carriage return.
The XE900SL10
communications controller accepts commands at data
rates from 1200 to 115,200 bps. The default serial data
rate is 9600 bps and can be changed using register S23.
The communications controller uses the AT command
prefix to automatically determine the parity of the
incoming characters.
XECOM
Sensor I/O Lines
SensorOnAir controls the operation of 6 I/O lines to the
XE900SL10. This includes 2 analog inputs, ADC0 and
ADC1, and 4 digital I/O lines, DIO0, DIO1, DIO2, and DIO3.
ADC0 and ADC1 are connected to a 12-bit analog to digital
converter and using a 2.5 volt reference derived from VCC
as their reference voltage. The digital I/O lines can be
programmed to act as either inputs or outputs.

XE900SL10
XE900SL10 COMMUNICATIONS CONTROLLER
Configuring the XE900SL10 for Sensor Operation
All SensorOnAir control functions for the analog inputs
and digital I/O’s are performed by the communications
controller within the XE900SL10. Modem-like AT
commands loaded through the serial interface, program
the functions of the analog and digital I/O lines. The AT
commands used to program the SensorOnAir functions
are then stored in the XE900SL10’s Flash memory. This
allows the XE900SL10 to be first programmed and then
installed in the application. The communications
controller uses the information stored in Flash memory to
control the analog and digital I/O lines.
WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
The communications controller manges the RF Link. This
includes the frequency hopping algorithm for spread
spectrum operation; collision avoidance, node
addressing, and packetizing data. The communications
controller allows support for point-to-point, point-tomultipoint or multipoint networks.
Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA)
To prevent collisions between network nodes the
XE900SL10 uses a Carrier Sense Multiple Access
protocol for each network transceiver. In normal
communications all nodes, including the Master node in
a point-to-multipoint network, listen for communications
activity before initiating a session. If a wireless link already
exists, the transceiver waits until that session is complete
before initiating a wireless link.
SensorOnAir Commands™
Below is a list of the AT commands used to program the
direct control of sensors using the communications
controller in the XE900SL10.
S107 -
Defines the function of the programmable I/O lines.
The two analog input lines, ADC0 and ADC1, can
also be defined as digital I/O lines if needed. The four
programmable digital I/O lines, DIO0, DIO1, DIO2,
and DIO3; can be set as either inputs or outputs. The
value of this command is stored in flash memory within
the XE900SL10.
Data Packets
All data presented by the system host is placed into
packets by the XE900SL10 communications controller
for transmission across the wireless link. These packets
provide addressing and error correction for the wireless
communications. The communications controller places
the data in packets only for the wireless link. The data is
extracted from the packets before being sent out the serial
interface.
AT&IAn? - This command allows a local host to read the value
of Analog Input “n.”
File Transfer Mode
Xecom’s XE900SL10 incorporates a File Transfer mode
that uses a simplified networking protocol so that the
maximum data transfer rate is achieved. In this mode the
XE900SL10 does not automatically retransmit blocks
containing errors. A CRC 16 checksum is calculated,
transferred at the end of the file, and checked by the
receiving unit. An “ERROR” message is displayed if the
checksum calculated at the receive end does not match
the checksum transmitted with the data.
AT&IDn? - This command allows a local host to read the
status of Digital I/O “n.”
AT&IDn=z - This command allows a local host equipment to
set the condition of the local digital output “n.” When
z=0 the output is set to a logic low; when z=1 the
output is set to a logic high.
AT#IxxxAn? - This command allows the value of Analog Input
“n” on node address “xxx” to be read remotely.
AT#IxxxDn? - This command allows the status of Digital I/O
“n” on node address “xxx” to be read remotely
The File Transfer Mode is controlled by the AT#T
command. The format of the command is AT#Txx; where
xx is the destination address of the file. Following is a
sample file transfer.
AT#IxxxDn=z - This command allows the condition of the
local digital output “n” on node address “xxx” to be
set remotely. When z=0 the output is set to a logic
low; when z=1 the output is set to a logic high.

File Transfer Mode cannot be used to send binary data.
Multipoint Network
System designers using the XE900SL10 can create a point-to-multipoint network with up to 125 remote nodes. The
master node is assigned address 1. The remote nodes are assigned address from 2 to 126. Xecom created Count-Off
to insure efficient network operation. Count-Off allows the master node to poll the entire network in less than 10
seconds. The Count-Off creates a temporary time division multiplexing scheme which permits each node to report its
status without the handshaking sequence normally required for a wireless data exchange.
The Count-Off sequence is initiated by the AT#C command from the host system. The Master node broadcasts the
Count-Off command to all network nodes. Upon receipt of the Count-Off broadcast each remote node initializes an
internal timer. Then in sequence by address each node sends an 8-byte status message to the Master. The status
message is programmed with the AT#E: or AT#E= command. Due to difficulties in synchronizing the spread spectrum
signals, a node may sometimes miss the Count-Off command. The network administrator should poll any node that
does not respond to the Count-Off request to insure the network integrity
Using Count-Off network reporting will be completed in less than 10 seconds. Based on the status information the host
can then elect to service any of the remote nodes.
