TE6-DM2100ATRANSCEIVER MODULE

1 ® DM2100 The DM2100 is a 916.5 MHz transceiver module designed for wireless industrial sensor applica - tions. The DM2100 is equipped with seven I/O ports. Each port can be configured as an analog input, a digital input, or a digital output. The DM2100 is also equipped with a serial data port. The communication range of the DM2100 in an “open field” environment is typically 200 meters/hop. The DM2100 combines RFM’s low-current ASH radio technology with low-power microprocessor technology to achieve very long battery life. The DM2100 employs NOKOTA’s SOS-OEA V1.5 multi-mode mesh network protocol, which provides robust and flexible wireless network routing, a rich application command set, and a powerful and easy-to-use network management utility. The DM2100 is certified under FCC 15.249 regulations.

The TR1000 operates on 916.5 MHz, with a nominal output power of 1 mW. The MSP430F148 operates from an internal oscillator referenced to an external 32.768 kHz “watch” crystal. The MSP430F148 UART is used to provide a CMOS serial interface on connector J2. The microcontroller’s general purpose I/O pins are also available on con- nector J2 for external monitoring or control. Each of these pins can be separately configured through the RF network as a logic input, a logic output, or an analog input. Note that GP0 is dedicated to measuring the value of the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) circuit and should always be set as an analog input. GP1 - GP7 can be used in any configuration needed by the application. The three LEDs on the DM2100 display RF communication activity. DM2100 operation is based on NOKOTA’s SOS-OEA V1.5 multi-mode mesh network protocol, which sup - ports data and command transfers through both the se - rial interface and the RF channel. See theSOS-OEA V1.5 Protocol User’s Guidefor further details. 2 56789104321 GNDVIN 11121314 VRENVDDTD0TD1TWSTCKRSTCFG0CFG1CFG2CFG3GND J1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 J2 3 VDC GRN YEL RED TR1000 ASH Transceiver RSSI Low Voltage Reset TXMOD RXDATA CNTRL1 CNTRL0 3 VDC Voltage Regulator DM2100 Block Diagram GND GP7 GP6 GP5 GP4 GP3 GP2 GP1 GP0/RSSI RTS CTS TXD RXD GND MSP430F148 Microcontroller Figure 1 DM2100 FCC Certification The DM2100 has been certified for operation under FCC Part 15 Rules, Section 15.249. This certification applies only when the DM2100 is equipped with one of the following RFM antennas: ¼ wave antenna, RFM part number 400-1595-001 helical antenna, RFM part number 500-1141-001 ¼ wave antenna-coax assembly, RFM part num- ber 500-1142-001 WARNING: the DM2100 must be re-certified if used with any antennas other than the three listed above. Contact RFM for further information if your application requires a special antenna configuration. When the DM2100 is run from an off-board power sup - ply (applied to J1-4), the supply voltage must be limited to a maximum of 3.7 Vdc, and the power supply voltage ripple must not exceed 10 mV P-P .

DM2100 Applications There are two ways to use the DM2100 in an applica - tion. The DM2100 can be used with a companion appli - cation interface board, the IM2100. The IM2100 has provisions for powering the DM2100 from a USB cable, an external unregulated DC supply such asa5Vdc “wall” transformer, an external regulated 3 Vdc power supply, or an external battery. The IM2100 also pro - vides the choice of UART, RS232, RS485 (single drop) or USB for a host computer serial interface. In addition, the IM2100 includes captured-screw terminal strips for connecting analog inputs, digital logic inputs, digital logic outputs and form C relay outputs. Refer to the IM2100 data sheet for additional details. The DM2100 can also be integrated into the user’s own application board. The DM2100 pin descriptions are given in the Table on pages 4 and 5. The DM2100 pin-out locations are show in Figure 2, and the PCB lay - out for the mating connectors is shown in Figure 3. The operating range of the DM2100 critically depends on the antenna being loca…

The UUT was transmitting a test signal during the testing. RADIATION INTERFERENCE: The test procedure used was ANSI STANDARD C63.4-2003 using a HEWLETT PACKARD spectrum analyzer with a pre-selector. The analyzer was calibrated in dB above a microvolt at the output of the antenna. The resolution bandwidth was 100KHz and the video bandwidth was 300KHz up to 1.0GHz and 1.0MHz with a video BW of 3.0MHz above 1.0GHz. The ambient temperature of the UUT was 74.3oF with a humidity of 69%. FORMULA OF CONVERSION FACTORS: The Field Strength at 3m was established by adding the meter reading of the spectrum analyzer (which is set to read in units of dBuV) to the antenna correction factor supplied by the antenna manufacturer. The antenna correction factors are stated in terms of dB. The gain of the Preselector was accounted for in the Spectrum Analyzer Meter Reading. Example: Freq (…
