BlueJay ™ Universal Data Transceiver M-2911 CONTROLS •Provides direct sequence spread spectrum peer-to-peer, point-to- point, point-to-multipoint and master/slave high speed (1 Mbps) data transmission rates at ranges up to 1500 feet •Interfaces using either a RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 connection at interface baud rates between 2400 and 115.2 Kbps •Substation hardened to withstand temperatures from -40 to +80 degrees C and humidity up to 95% •No user license required, interfaces with almost any legacy IED –3– M-2911 BlueJay Universal Data Transceiver The M-2911 Blue Jay ™ Universal Data Transceiver is a self-contained short-range wireless communication device (SRD) that is used for transferring serial communication data between Intelligent Electrical Device's (IED’s) and computers hosting control software in an industrial environment. The M-2911 is based on an Intersil direct sequence spread spectrum chip set that operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The M-2911 design meets the category for low power devices (LPDs) standard requirement for license-free operation. Interface The M-2911 is equipped with two serial data connectors, one is a DE-9 connector for use with an RS-232 serial data port and the other is a 6-pin bare wire Phoenix–type connector for use with an RS-422/RS-485 (twisted shielded pair) serial data ports. Only one port can be used at a time. Each port is capable of serial data speeds of up to 115 kbps. Data Transmission: • Error Detection – 16 bit CRC (10 -5 BER at –70dBm) • Maximum throughput – 1 Mbps RF, 2400 to 115.2 Kbps interface baud rate Communication The M-2911 conditions the data and transmits it over a half-duplex direct sequence spread spectrum radio operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The over-the-air data rate is 1 Mbps. Transmit: • Frequency Range – 2400 MHz to 2483.5 MHz • Output Power – 30 mW • Modulation – DBPSK • Occupied Bandwidth – 20 MHz • Spurious Emissions – 50 mV/meter • Harmonic Emissions – 500 uV/meter • Spreading Method – Direct Sequence 11 bit code • Center Band – Carrier 2.450 GHz Receive: • Sensitivity – -93 dBm • Selectivity – 25 MHz ■NOTE: For maximum range, all antennae must be oriented in the same plane. Power The M-2911 includes a self-contained switching power supply that supplies the data and RF circuitry with regulated dc power as required. The power supply has an external 3.5 mm outside diameter, 2.1 mm inside pin, center positive power input jack designed to accept the output of a UL listed wall transformer power supply included with each unit that delivers between 7 and 60 V dc at a maximum power output of 2.5 Watts. Power Requirements: • Operating Voltage – +7 to +60 V dc • Transmit Current – 2 W (300 mA @ 7 V) • Receive Current – 2 W (300 mA @ 7 V) • Inlet Current – 1 W (150 mA @ 7 V) • Sleep Current – 0.2 W (30 mA @ 7 V) M-2911 BlueJay Universal Data Transceiver –4– Configuration The M-2911 is configurable with the following parameters: • Unit (Transmit/Receive) Address: 1 to 250 • Destination (Transmit): 1 to 255 • Multicast (Receive) Address: 251 to 254 • Baud Rate: Selectable from 2400 to 115,200 • Parity: Even/Odd/No Parity • Transmit Retry: 0 to 9 times • Interface: RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 • RS-232 RTS/CTS: FIXED/AUTO/FLOW-THRU • RS-422/485 Tx: Gating: 0 to 10 characters Lead Time: 0 to 10 mS Hold Time: 0 to 10 mS • Intercharacter Timeout: 1 to 10 character times/1 to 100 mS • Maximum Packet Size: 1 to 60 characters Configuring the M-2911 To configure the M-2911, the unit must be put in the AT-Command Mode. To put the unit in AT-Command Mode: 1.Connect the unit (using an RS-232 cable) to a PC or laptop computer running a terminal emulator program (such as Microsoft HyperTerminal) set to 9600 bps, No Parity, One Stop Bit. 2.Apply power to the unit. 3.After 1–2 seconds, type "+++", and pause for 1 second or more. The M-2911 will enter AT-Command Mode and respond with "OK". The user can then enter any of the AT Commands listed below. ■NOTE: After each command, the unit will return "OK" if the command was valid, or "???" if invalid or out- of-range. AT Commands Unit (Transmit/Receive) Address Configuration: ATS=nnn<ENTER>, where nnn is 1 to 250 Destination (Transmit) Address Configuration: ATD=nnn<ENTER>, where nnn is 1 to 255 Multicast (Receive) Address Configuration: ATM=nnn<ENTER>, where nnn is 251 to 254 Baud Rate Select: ATB=nnnnnn<ENTER>, where nnnnnn is 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 76800, or 115200 Parity Select: ATP=x, where x is E for Even Parity, O for Odd Parity, or N for No Parity Transmit Retries Configuration: ATR=n<ENTER>, where nn is 0 to 9 Interface Selection: RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 ATI=RS232<ENTER> ATI=RS422<ENTER> ATI=RS485<ENTER> RS-232 RST Configuration: ATI=RTSx<ENTER>, where x is 0 for Low, 1 for High, F for Flow-Thru ATI=CTSx<ENTER>, where x is 0 for Ignore, 1 for Obey, F for Flow-Thru –5– M-2911 BlueJay Universal Data Transceiver RS-422 Tx Gating Configuration: ATI=TXO<ENTER>, to set Transmit On.
