Y2NRC189XHP-IPMA Wireless Communication Mesh Network in a Module

Page 1 of 23 DATA SHEET RC18x2HP-IPM ©2022 Radiocrafts AS Data sheet RC18x2HP-IPM (rev. 1.6 ) 1 Product Description The RC18x2HP-IPM is a series of high power sub-1 GHz programmable ultra-low power module for RIIM (Radiocrafts Industrial IP Mesh). It is based on the open radio standard IEEE802.15.4 g/e, and implements IPv6 internet addressing with support for UDP, CoAP and encryption. The RC18x2HP-IPM is used to implement all the nodes in the network including leaf nodes, wireless router nodes and root-node/border routers. The module incudes ICI, the intelligent C-programmable I/O, along with all neccesary drivers and the operating system. ICI allows the user to program his own intelligent sensor/actuator inteface, or any other applciation with minimal effort. The programming capability of the module makes it possible to interface to any sensor/actuator or combination of sensors/actuators.Thereby, removing the need for an additional MCU to reduce overall cost and power consumption. 2 Applications • Coin cell battery systems • IIoT applications • Smart Sensor Technologies • Energy Management and Sustainability • Green House Monitoring and control • Elderly Care • Fire Detection • Home Security • Indoor Air Quality Monitoring • Industrial Temperature Control • Medical Climate Control • Predictive Maintenance • Tank Level/Flow Monitoring • Facilities and Infrastructure Management • Radiation and Leak Detection • Irrigation monitor and control 3 Features • Internet interoperability via IPv6 addressing, UDP packet transmission, DTLS encryption and CoAP protocol. • Multi-hop mesh technology. • Self building and self healing network. • Over The Air (OTA) updates • Very high node count mesh • Long RF range, several hundred meter LOS • Many electrical interfaces: 9 programmable GPIOs, I2C bus, SPI bus, UART and 2 ADC inputs • Intelligent C-Programmable I/O (ICI) easy to use C-based SDK to directly inteface any sensor/actuator • Ultra-low power for coin cell battery or energy harvesting • Pre-certified radio • Based on open radio standards IEEE 802.15.4 g/e • Frequency hopping via TSCH (6TiSCH) (Availeble for RIIM-SDK 1.20.0 and later) • Automatic acknowledge and retransmission Page 2 of 23 DATA SHEET RC18x2HP-IPM ©2022 Radiocrafts AS Data sheet RC18x2HP-IPM (rev. 1.6 ) 4 Quick Reference Data (typical at 3.6V, 868 MHz, 50 kb/s) Parameter RC1882HPCF-IPM RC1892HPCF-IPM Unit Frequency band 865-870 902-928 MHz Max output power 27 1 27 dBm Sensitivity (BER 1%) @50kb/s -111 -111 dBm Supply voltage 2.3 - 3.6 2.3 - 3.6 V Current consumption, RX/TX 12.5 / 350 12.5 / 350 mA Current consumption, Deep sleep 3.5 3.5 uA User application flash memory 32 32 kB User application RAM 8 8 kB Internal SPI Flash 1024 1024 kB Operating Temperature -30 to +85 -30 to +85 C 1 HW revision 1.00 is limited to 26 dBm, later revisions are 27 dBm.

It can connect to an external network via ethernet or custom user application on other interfaces such as UART ▪ As a router node, it will be able to transport packets in the RIIM mesh network ▪ As a leaf node, it is not able to transport packets to other nodes except its parent. This mode uses the least amount of energy. o All modes supports customer ICI applications and external connections. Applications use the same RIIM Software Development Kit (SDK) for all node types. Below is an illustration of the different elements and the documentation available Figure 1.

System overview The bootloader is preloaded from Radiocrafts. It allows the user to upload new platform images or unique application images. The bootloader also allows the user to program unique encryption keys into the device. These keys are not possible to read out. The bootloader uses the standard UART port and operates at 115200 baud. Note that the bootloader also leaves all GPIO in tristate mode at power up. If a specific application requires controlled high or low level during start up, an external pull-up/pull-down is mandatory. The platform image is the main firmware part and includes the operating system, network stacks, drivers and application frameworks. The newest revision will be available from Radiocrafts SDK download as an encrypted image. When downloading a new platform image through the bootloader, the image will be decrypted internally in the module. The application code space has available 32 kB of flash space and 8 kB of RAM.

The size and location of the ground plate relative to the antenna will affect the overall performance of the antenna in the final design. When used in conjunction with a ground plane smaller than that used to tune the antenna, the center frequency typically will shift higher in frequency and the bandwidth will decrease. The proximity of other circuit elements and packaging near the antenna will also affect the final performance. For further discussion and guidance on the importance of the ground plane counterpoise, please refer to Linx Application Note AN-00501: Understanding Antenna Specifications and Operation. by Data Sheet ANT-916-CW-QW VSWRReflected Power 3:1 2:1 1:1 25% 11% 0% 916MHz1016MHz816MHz 1.660 VSWR Graph What is VSWR? The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is a measurement of how well an antenna is matched to a source impedance, typically 50-ohms. It is calculated by measuring the voltage wave that is headed toward the load versus the voltage wave that is reflected back from the load. A perfect match will have a VSWR of 1:1. The higher the first number, the worse the match, and the more inefficient the system. Since a perfect match cannot ever be obtained, some benchmark for performance needs to be set. In the case of antenna VSWR, this is usually 2:1. At this point, 88.9% of the energy sent to the antenna by the transmitter is radiated into free space and 11.1% is either reflected back into the source or lost as heat on the structure of the antenna. In the other direction, 88.9% of the energy recovered by the antenna is transferred into the receiver. As a side note, since the “:1” is always implied, many data sheets will remove it and just display the first number. How to Read a VSWR Graph VSWR is usually displayed graphically versus frequency. The lowest point on the graph is the antenna’s operational center frequency. In most cases, this will be different than the designed center frequency due to fabrication tolerances. The VSWR at that point denotes how close to 50-ohms the antenna gets. Linx specifies the recommended bandwidth as the range where the typical antenna VSWR is less than 2:1. 159 Ort Lane, Merlin, OR, US 97532 Phone: +1 541 471 6256 Fax: +1 541 471 6251 www.linxtechnologies.com
