XE900S-500 June 2005 XE900S-500 Smart Spread Spectrum Transceiver Description Features The XE900S-500 combines a spread spectrum transceiver and micro-controller in a single, easy-touse, FCC Part 15 Registered module. The embedded communications controller manages the Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) link and the host system interface. * Small Size: 1.295” by 1.410” by 0.255” * Serial Control and Configuration of the Wireless Link. * Supports a 254 node point-to-multipoint network * Programmable Transmit Power Output 100 to 500 mW. * Typical Receiver Sensitivity -100 dBm * Obstructed signal range to 1000 feet; * Wireless Data Rate 76.8K bps, half-duplex The XE900S-500 supports two unique features to simplify wireless networking. Count-Off™ allows the network master to quickly retrieve the status of 125 remote nodes with a single broadcast command. SensorOnAirTM eliminates the need for an application controller by utilizing the communications controller to directly manage analog inputs and digital control lines. * Low power Consumption XE900S-500: 1000 mA @ 3.3 Volts; when transmitting at 500 mW output power; less than 1 mA of current flows in Sleep Mode or Power-Down modes * SensorOnAirTM (patent pending) allows direct connection of sensors to the Smart Transceiver * Count-OffTM (patent pending) allows the host node to download the status of all nodes in under 10 seconds. Xecom also offers a low power spread spectrum model, the XE900SL10, for applications that require less range. The XE900SL10 has an obstructed range of 300 feet but is smaller, costs less and uses significantly less power. * Operating Temperature Range of -40 to +85 C * FCC Part 15 Registered XE900S-500 Block Diagram Antenna ROM SAW FILTER Serial I/F MUX TRANSCEIVER COMM.

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.

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 XE900S-500 operating modes. RF Monitor Mode: The XE900S-500 includes 4 RF monitor modes. In each of these RF Monitor modes 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 selected. IDLE: In Idle Mode all circuits within the XE900S-500 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 23 milliamps. RF Receive Mode: In RF Receive Mode the XE900S-500 is actively receiving an incoming 900 MHz data signal. Current draw in RF Receive Mode is typically 35 milliamps. SLEEP: In Sleep Mode all circuits within the XE900S-500 are powered-down to reduce consumption. The XE900S-500 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 100 microamps. RF Transmit Mode: In RF Transmit Mode the XE900-500 is actively transmitting a 900 MHz data signal. Current draw in Transmit mode is no more than 1000 milliamps with the transmit output power set to maximum, 500 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 XE900S-500 cannot respond to incoming RF communications requests. If a transmit RF or Receive RF command is received, the XE900S-500 can activate the RF section in under 200 microseconds. Current draw in Power-Down Mode is less than 800 microamps. AT Command Control The power saving 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) XECOM (4) XE900S-500 XE900S-500 PIN CONFIGURATION GND VCC /TXD /RXD /CTS /RTS DIO3 DIO2 DIO1 DIO0 ADC1 ADC0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 XE900S-500 Top View SIGNAL PINS Ground 1 Common voltage reference for the XE900S-500.

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 XE900S-500 by comparing the parity bits of the "A" and the "T" characters. HOST INTERFACE The XE900S-500 has two primary interfaces to 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. RS232 Interface The XE900S-500 supports a 4-signal serial interface. For most applications the XE900S-500 will act as a DCE. Control and configuration of the XE900S-500 takes place through the serial interface using modem-like AT commands. The serial data rate is configurable from 1200 bits per second to 115.2K bits per second. The supported serial interface signals are listed below. /TXD - Transmit Data; the input to the XE900S-500 for AT commands and Data to be transmitted on the wireless network. /RXD - Received Data; the output from the XE900S-500 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 XE900S-500 without requiring an applications controller. In this SensorOnAir™ configuration the XE900S-500 communications controller controls the operation of the sensors. /RTS - Request to Send, provides the hardware flow control input to the XE900S-500. The DTE removes RTS to stop the XE900S-500 from sending more data on the RXD line. /CTS - Clear to Send, is the hardware flow control output from the XE900S-500. The XE900S-500 deactivates Clear to Send to advise then host to stop inputting data on the TXD lead. XE900S-500 AT Command Format AT commands issued to the XE900S-500 follow a strict format. Each command begins with the prefix AT and ends with a carriage return. The XE900S-500 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 XE900S-500. 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 use 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. (8) XE900S-500 XE900S-500 COMMUNICATIONS CONTROLLER Configuring the XE900S-500 for Sensor Operation All SensorOnAir control functions for the analog inputs and digital I/O’s are performed by the communications controller within the XE900S-500. 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 XE900S-500 Flash memory. This allows the XE900S-500 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 XE900S-500 uses a Carrier Sense Multiple Access protocol for each network transceiver. In normal communications all nodes, including the Master node in a point-toMultipoint 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 XE900S-500. 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 XE900S-500. Data Packets All data presented by the system host is placed into packets by the XE900S-500 communications controller for transmission across the wireless link. These packets provide addressing and error correction for the wireless communications. The communications controllers place 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 XE900S-500 incorporates a File Transfer mode that uses a simplified networking protocol so that the maximum data transfer rate is achieved. In this mode the XE900S-500 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 XE900S-500 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.
