Remtron Engineered Systems User Manual 4. Introduction 4.1 Purpose 4.2 Scope This manual provides information on the safe installation and operation of the Cattron CommandPro wireless control systems. Information is also included on the maintenance and repair of the CommandPro systems. Information is included on all types of Cattron transmitters and receivers used in industrial applications. Refer to the detailed information contained in each section for your particular equipment. The transmitters covered in this manual contain enhanced features that expand the types of applications for the systems. Many new features have been added, but most changes are transparent to the user. If you are already familiar with Cattron transmitters, you are encouraged to read the section on operating the transmitters, where there is information about the latest changes in operation. To help you identify your system, Figure 1 and Figure 2 provide a reference for the transmitters and receivers covered in this manual. Review the Configuration Sheet that came with your equipment for details on the types of switches and the labels used on your equipment. 4.3 Important Safety Rules Using wireless control systems with heavy industrial equipment can improve the safety of the equipment. It is important to adhere to the safety rules presented throughout this manual, especially during installation, in order to achieve the safest operating system possible. 9M02-9028-A021-EN Version 4.0 8 Remtron Engineered Systems User Manual 9 21T10(A) 21T14(A) 21T18(A) 21T20 21T23 21T34A Stepped Lever Control Transmitter 21T44A Proportional Lever Control Transmitter 21T54A Joystick Control Transmitter T08C Remotely Operated Transmitter Custom Lever Control Transmitter 21T74A Figure 1: Cattron CommandPro Engineered Systems Transmitters 9M02-9028-A021-EN Version 4.0 Remtron Engineered Systems User Manual 22R08A 8 Function Receiver 21R14A 14 Function Receiver 21R22 21R 17 22 to 66 Function Receiver Figure 2: Cattron CommandPro Engineered Systems Receivers 9M02-9028-A021-EN Version 4.0 10 Remtron Engineered Systems User Manual 5. Operations Cattron CommandPro Wireless Control Systems are designed to control industrial machinery. These rugged controls are built to survive the wear and tear of life in factories, mills and foundries. These systems comply with operation requirements under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. This means that neither the operator nor the company need apply or register for a license to operate this equipment. The basic system consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter sends commands to the receiver through radio waves in the 900 MHz band. Receivers operate at 120 VAC 50/60 Hz power. Operation from other power sources is also available. 5.1 How the System Works 5.1.1 Frequency Cattron CommandPro equipment operates in the 902 to 928 Megahertz (MHz) frequency band. A wavelength at our frequency is 12.9 inches. Like light, 900 MHz radio signals pass through glass and plastics, and reflect off of walls, buildings and metal structures. Unlike light, 900 MHz radio signals penetrate all plastics including those opaque in color, as well as thin-gauge steel, dry wood, dry concrete, plasterboard, fog and rain. However, the signal will not readily pass through trees, earth, water, people, aluminium, copper and some window tints. 5.1.2 Range and Antenna Coverage Antennas convert radio signals into radio waves and convert radio waves back into radio signals. They can send and receive in all directions or in a single direction, depending on their design. An omnidirectional antenna is like a light bulb, and a directional antenna is like a flashlight. Metal objects reflect radio waves, just as a mirror next to a light bulb will reflect light. Metal objects near an antenna alter the intended pattern of an antenna by either shading or reflecting signals. Our standard antennas are omnidirectional; they see equally well in all directions. We have other antennas that will see further in one direction for special applications. 5.1.3 License-Free Channels The 902 to 928 MHz spectrum accommodates many license-free users and is set aside by the FCC as an ISM Band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical). We have the ability to change frequencies in this band and have 81 different channels that we can assign to the transmitter and receiver. The actual frequency is coded into the receiver and transmitter at the factory but may be changed to one of the other 80 channels in the field if desired. Other devices in this band include wireless phones, computer data links and inventory equipment. As a condition of using this band, products must accept and handle interference from other users. The 900 MHz band works well for most users, and not being burdened with licensing regulations is desirable. The FCC has allowed 50,000 microvolts per meter field strength on this band, which is 250 times higher than other unlicensed frequencies below the band. This allows our systems to operate very reliably in the presence of other signals. 9M02-9028-A021-EN Version 4.0 11 Remtron Engineered Systems User Manual 5.1.4 Command Format This device uses packet-mode, Frequency Modulation (FM) to carry commands in packet form from our transmitter to our receiver. To reduce battery drain, our transmitter transmits for a hundredth of a second, which is long enough to send one packet to our receiver at a repetition rate of either 16 times per second or four times per second. The rate varies: 16 times per second for three times when sending a command and four times per second when there is no change in commands and the transmitter is still on. Any time a lever or switch activates, we send all control settings three times at the 16-per-second rate and then return to the slower rate of four times per second. Our receiver uses the slower rate for maintaining transmitter timing and provides for a maintained link where one is used. The only exception to this is the STOP switch, which transmits at 16 times per second as long as it is depressed. In addition to lever and switch positions, each packet contains a unique address and CRC check sum
(described in the next section). 5.1.5 Safety Safety and loss of control prevention are very important issues at Cattron. We use a unique identification (ID) code for each user. There are provisions in our system for 65,535 individual codes. Each transmission includes a CRC check sum, which is a polynomial created by factoring all of the previous bits transmitted. Once the receiver receives a valid start command from the transmitter, the receiver tracks the time of the transmitter and ignores all other transmissions that do not fall within the expected time frame of the transmitter. Maintained link systems must receive at least one valid transmission each second in order to allow the remote controlled equipment to function. The receiver provides a loss-of-signal control output that safely shuts down the equipment if a loss of signal occurs. The receiver will not allow equipment restart under its control after a loss of signal until a valid system start command is received from the transmitter. This prevents an unintended start-up from occurring if the transmitter returns within range of the receiver and is still operating. The transmitters also check the position of all controls upon start-up. The transmitter does not issue a start command if any of the controls are pressed at the time the start command begins. Exceptions for lights, horn, bell or other user functions that do not place machinery in motion can be mapped into our control logic upon request. FM systems also have a capture effect, where the strongest signal captures the receiver, which rejects the weaker signal. The operator is seldom more than 300 feet from the controlled machine. Therefore, the transmitter is the strongest signal present unless other equipment on this band is allowed to operate within 1000 feet of the location of the receiver. 5.1.6 Carrying Strap for Belly Box Controllers A Shoulder Carrying Strap (Part Number 600057) is supplied with the 21T34A, 21T44A, 21T54A and 21T74A Belly Box-style controllers which greatly enhances operator comfort. Operators of these Belly Box-style controllers are required to use this approved carrying strap with the controller attached at all times. 9M02-9028-A021-EN Version 4.0 12 Remtron Engineered Systems User Manual 5.2 Transmitter Operation and Features WARNING Do not operate the system until you are familiar with radio-controlled operation. If you are not familiar with radio-controlled operation, contact your supervisor before attempting to use the radio control system. IMPORTANT To stop the system in an emergency, press and hold the OFF/STOP button. Pressing and holding this button stops all functions. 5.3 Wireless Operation 1. 2. If the transmitter is the belly box type, operators are required to use the supplied Shoulder Carrying Strap with the controller attached at all times. If the transmitter is equipped with pendant capability, verify that the pendant cable is not attached before switching on the transmitter. 3. Press and release the ON/ALARM button. Verify that the Status LED starts flashing at a low rate. If 4. Press the required switches to operate the desired function. Note that more than one function may be equipped, the Alarm function sounds. controlled at any time. 5. To stop sending any command, release the switch. 6. To switch the transmitter off, press the OFF/STOP button. (Note that the transmitter switches itself off if 7. no commands send for a predetermined time and if Auto Off is enabled). If equipped with a maintained OFF/STOP switch, the transmitter continues transmitting the OFF/STOP signal for a preset time after the OFF/STOP switch is pressed to the maintained position. Resetting the switch immediately switches the transmitter off. 5.4 Pendant Operation 1. Connect the pendant cable to the transmitter and receiver. If the transmitter was ON in the normal mode, it will stop RF transmissions and send commands only through the pendant cable. The transmitter will not resume RF transmissions until the pendant cable is removed and the transmitter is momentarily switched off. 2. The remainder of the operation is the same as the wireless operation described above. 9M02-9028-A021-EN Version 4.0 13
Remtron Engineered Systems User Manual 5.5 Commands 5.5.1 Command Switches The command switches are labeled according to their function. If two commands that conflict with each other are attempted, in most cases no function results. In the case of ON/OFF functions, OFF predominates If more than one speed command is sent for the same function, the lower speed predominates Maintained On or Off functions require separate commands for ON and OFF ON/ALARM: This button switches the transmitter on and puts the system in the active mode. It also sends an ALARM command to the receiver while the switch is depressed. The transmitter remains active until the OFF/STOP button is pressed or the transmitter switches itself off (see Auto Off). OFF/STOP: While depressed, this button sends a STOP command to the receiver. The transmitter does not need to be actively ON to send this command. When this switch is released, the transmitter switches off. AUTO OFF: The transmitter switches itself off if no commands are sent for a predetermined time. Normally this time is set to 15 minutes, but it may be programmed from 0 to 60 minutes, or disabled using a RAC16 Series Programmer (01 to 60 = minutes, 00 = disabled). Levers (21T34A/44A/74A) / Joysticks (21T54A): When in the neutral (center) position, no commands send. When a paddle moves from the neutral position, a command generates proportional to the amount of movement
(i.e., the further the lever is pushed, the faster the movement is commanded). Push-to-Operate (PTO) Switch (Optional): The PTO or Dead Man Switch is a safety device. The transmitters are normally programmed so that the switch that activates this function must be depressed before any motor or other critical function can operate (consult the Configuration Sheet if this switch has an alternate use in your system). First-Come First-Serve (FCFS) (Optional): The First-Come First-Serve option allows use of multiple transmitters with one receiver, one at a time. The receiver scans a preset list of ID Codes. When a valid signal is received, the receiver stops scanning and responds only to that transmitters signal. When the signal is no longer being received (that is, the transmitter has been switched off or is out of range), the receiver again scans until another valid signal is received. Pitch-and-Catch (Optional): Pitch-and-Catch is similar to First-Come First-Serve, but it adds the safety requirement that the operator in control must release or pitch the control before another operator may assume control. It also allows control transfer from one operator to another without pausing operation. Once the transmitter has taken control of the receiver, the pitch button is the only way to release control of the receiver so that other transmitters can take control. Once the receiver receives a valid pitch command, the receiver then looks for the next programmed ID code. A catch is made when the ID code from the next transmitter is recognized. If a catch is not made within a preset time period, the receiver will revert to First-Come First-Serve until a valid ID code is recognized. Any switch can be programmed as the pitch button. Note: If a transmitter malfunctions after the receiver has taken control, the only way to release the receiver is to cycle power to the receiver. A-B Switch (Optional): Selector switches can be provided to control more than one similar function with the same controls (i.e., controlling trolley/hoist A, trolley/hoist B, or both A and B simultaneously). On the handheld transmitters, a single pushbutton cycles between A, B, Both, and OFF each time the button is pressed. LED indicators show the control status. 9M02-9028-A021-EN Version 4.0 14 Remtron Engineered Systems User Manual Key Switch (Optional): The key switch option can prevent the use of the transmitter by unauthorized personnel. The key switch is electrically connected between the battery and the electronics so that all power is removed when the switch is in the OFF position. Note: Once power is applied, the red LED illuminates and the transmitter performs a self-test procedure lasting approximately three seconds. The transmitter may be switched to ON. Under standard operating conditions, the LED flashes green once when the transmitter switches to ON. Magnet Control (Optional): An additional safety feature is built into systems that use a lifting magnet. The two-
button design uses one button labeled MAG LIFT (or LIFT) and one button labeled MAG DROP (or DROP). Pressing the LIFT button energizes the magnet. Pressing LIFT and DROP at the same time de-energizes the magnet and drops the load. A time-delay is built into the circuit, so the buttons must be held for nearly one second before the magnetic controls activate. An additional switch may be provided for fanning or dribbling the load. Pressing the button labeled FAN or MAG FAN while pressing MAG LIFT activates the fan drop function. Again, a time-delay is built into the circuit, so these buttons must be held down for nearly one second before the magnetic controls activate. Multiple Receivers Controlled by Multiple Transmitters Option: One transmitter can control a maximum of six receivers with a rotary selector switch. A rotary switch is often used to select a particular hoist/trolley A/both/B. It can also be used for crane select, i.e., East/West. 9M02-9028-A021-EN Version 4.0 15 Remtron Engineered Systems User Manual 5.6 Status Indicators 5.6.1 Status LED The status LED indicates the transmitter operation. When the transmitter is operating normally, the LED indicator emits short flashes at a low rate when no commands activate, and at a higher rate when a command activates. Some transmitters use a red LED only. Others use a multicolored LED that flashes GREEN when no problems are present and changes to RED when problems are encountered. See the Status Chart below. Table 1: Transmitter Status Chart LED Indication Possible Cause LED is off Transmitter is off switch transmitter ON Batteries are dead replace batteries Transmitter failure contact Cattron at www.cattron.com/contact for service LED flashes at low rate Transmitter is operating in a normal mode LED flashes at high rate Command Switch is pressed LED flashes Red/Green (A series only) Batteries getting low change batteries at the next convenient opportunity LED flashes on-off at a slow rate
( second on and second off) Batteries getting low change batteries at the next convenient opportunity LED remains on continuously (LED might flicker slightly) A switch was activated at the time the transmitter was switched on, or a general failure occurred that requires factory service. Ensure no other switches are pressed while attempting to switch the transmitter on LED will not light when ON/OFF button is pushed Replace batteries. If this does not correct the problem, the transmitter must be repaired 5.6.2 Function Select LEDs Two LEDs are used on some transmitters to indicate which control functions are active (such as hoist trolley A or hoist trolley B; these are commonly used with pilot relays). When both are illuminated, both controls are active. When both LEDs go out, neither control is active. 9M02-9028-A021-EN Version 4.0 16 Remtron Engineered Systems User Manual 6. Installation 6.1 General WARNING 6.2 Locating the Equipment 6.2.1 Antenna Location Check all the components to confirm that they are the components you ordered for your system and that they are in good condition. If any components are missing, or if any are not in good condition, contact Cattron at www.cattron.com/contact . READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES can result in serious personal injury. Before starting this installation, ensure that the crane power has been disconnected and that all applicable safety precautions are followed. The antenna is one of the most important components of a radio receiving system. Proper placement of the receiver antenna ensures reliable operation under the most severe conditions. A direct line-of-sight path between the transmitter and receiver antenna provides the best performance (refer to Figure 3). Controlled range systems require a special flat panel antenna. Refer to Installation Procedure - SAFE-T-RANGE
(21R22CR) for special considerations for the antenna used with that system. Figure 3: Transmitter/Receiver Communication In most cases, the antenna may be mounted directly on the receiver cabinet. In determining the mounting location, consider the following items:
Mount the antenna vertically For optimum performance, give the antenna itself a minimum of 8 inches clearance in all directions, excluding the wall or plate to which the receiver cabinet is mounted (refer to Figure 4) If the receiver cabinet location cannot provide this clearance and the antenna must be mounted at a remote location, the Cattron Remote Antenna Mounting Kit should be used. See Receiver Spare Parts List or contact Cattron at www.cattron.com/contact for more information 9M02-9028-A021-EN Version 4.0 17
Remtron Engineered Systems User Manual Figure 4: Antenna Clearance 6.2.2 Receiver Location To ensure safe and reliable system operation, the following items must be considered when selecting a location for mounting the receiver:
Install the receiver in an environment where the ambient temperature during operation does not drop below -20 F (-28 C) or rise above +160 F (+71 C) All connections to the receiver enclosure must be watertight Avoid mounting the receiver enclosure on a surface where excessive vibration or shock is present For easy access to wiring and for service, provide sufficient room to open the enclosure door To ensure that the receiver enclosure is electrically at earth ground, remove all paint from the mounting-
hole surfaces (refer to Figure 5) Figure 5: Mounting-Hole Paint Removal Mount the receiver enclosure securely using appropriate locking-type hardware. This also assists in properly grounding the receiver enclosure to the mounting surface 9M02-9028-A021-EN Version 4.0 18 Remtron Engineered Systems User Manual 6.3 Installation Wiring Referring to the configuration sheet provided with the receiver (usually located within the receiver door), dress the receiver output relay wiring and the control switch wiring along the inside wall of the enclosure. This allows for easy troubleshooting and maintenance. 6.3.1 Receiver Power Cattron receivers are normally prewired for the most widely used control systems. Specific installations may require rewiring the relay commons. When connecting the Cattron receiver assembly to a power source that has large amounts of interference (noise) generated by motors and/or contactors, use noise suppression devices
(snubbers) to prevent noise from triggering the receivers safety shutdown programming. Never use the receiver case as a ground for other electrical equipment. Limit the load current applied to the output relay bank common to a maximum of 10 A. 6.3.2 Relay Outputs CAUTION Connection to equipment or contactors with higher voltage or current requirements requires an intermediate relay. 6.3.3 Output Snubbers Snubbers are needed to suppress the noise generated from arcing relay contacts. When a contactor opens, the contactor coil produces a large voltage potential, much like automotive ignition systems. When the points open on automotive ignition systems, the coil sends a large voltage to the distributor which jumps across the spark plug
(called arcing). The result is a large amount of noise generated in the system. A snubber is a device designed to reduce arcing (noise). Cattron uses a resistor-capacitor combination to accomplish this function. To prevent noise entering the receiver, it is recommended that all contactors have snubbers installed directly across the coils. If more snubbers are needed, see the Receiver Spare Parts List or contact Cattron at www.cattron.com/contact . 6.4 Installation Procedure 21R14A Receiver Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7. 6.4.1 Power/Control Wiring The transfer switch is wired so that the cranes Main Line Contactor (MLC) is controlled by the radio MLC relay when it is in the radio position and by the pendant controls when the switch is in the pendant position. Refer to Figure 7 (21R14A) for typical input control wiring for overhead cranes. Transfer switch wiring is not required unless there is a need for pendant operation. The switch can normally be wired without removing it from the receiver cabinet. Any unused switch poles can be used for isolating additional functions. 9M02-9028-A021-EN Version 4.0 19

Safe-T-Range keeps the operator within a predetermined distance from the crane, thus increasing safety in the workplace. Using an advanced panel antenna design along with programmable logic, a Safe-T-Range-equipped receiver draws an electronic boundary around the crane and operator. The system then safely stops and inhibits selected functions when the operator steps outside the boundary. This is done without shutting down the main contactor line. 6.6.1 21R22CR Power/Control Wiring Perform the procedure for installing the 21R22 Power/Control Wiring. 6.6.2 21R22CR Antenna Installation The 21R22CR Receiver must be set up correctly using a special antenna and circuitry for the controlled range function to operate properly. Use the following procedure as a supplement to the 21R22 Installation Procedure. The antenna for the 21R22CR has a specially shaped pattern that provides a sharp drop-off in signal strength when the operator moves away from the antenna. The antenna has a shaped beam much like a broad flood lamp, as shown in the following illustration. 9M02-9028-A021-EN Version 4.0 27 Remtron Engineered Systems User Manual Figure 12: 21R22CR Antenna Pattern For normal operation, place the antenna as close to the center of the bridge as practical so that the radio control operation is symmetrical about the crane. Mount the antenna underneath the crane with a clear line of sight to the area the crane operator uses. Position the antenna parallel to the ground and have the arrow on its back side pointing toward either end of the bridge. Use low loss cables to connect the antenna to the receiver if the cable run is in excess of 18 feet. Use Cattron Part Numbers 600038-01 (9 ft), 600038-02 (18 ft), or 600048- (length in 25 ft. increments) for up to 100 feet of antenna extension cable. 6.6.3 21R22CR Installation Testing Perform the tests described in the section on 21R22 Installation Testing. When these tests have been successfully performed, proceed with the Control Range Alignment and Test below. 6.6.4 21R22CR Control Range Alignment and Test The Control Range circuit has two adjustments. The Range adjustment determines the maximum operating distance from the receiving antenna at which the operator can control critical crane functions (refer to the Control Range circuit board in Figure 13). The Time Delay adjustment determines the length of time the signal must be below threshold before the Control Range circuit activates. The time delay prevents the Control Range from causing motion jerkiness as the signal varies due to normal operator load movement. For ease of alignment, adjust the time delay to the minimum value (CCW position) while adjusting the range. Position the operator with an operating transmitter at the desired range limit. Turn the Range adjustment until the Range indicator LED illuminates. Slowly rotate the Range adjustment clockwise until the Range indicator extinguishes. Note that a voltmeter may be connected to the test points to monitor the voltage for the set point. Test the operation of the Control Range by having the operator with the transmitter move in and out of range in all directions and readjust the Range adjustment as needed to achieve the desired range limit. Note that the time delay holds the Range LED off for about 1.5 seconds after the operator goes out of range. When the range is properly adjusted, increase the time delay to the desired value. The adjustment may be set from 1.5 to 10 seconds. Cattron recommends a longer time delay to prevent the system from falsely activating due to the normal dynamics of the operator running the crane. 9M02-9028-A021-EN Version 4.0 28 Remtron Engineered Systems User Manual Figure 13: Control Range Circuit Board on 21R22CR Receiver Installation Procedure 22R08A 6.7 Refer to Error!

All relay outputs are capable of operating up to 8 A, 240 VAC, or 12 VDC circuits. Connecting to equipment or contactors with higher voltage or current ratings requires an intermediate relay. Total sustained current must not exceed 10 A for relays K5 through K8. Note: When connecting to inductive loads such as relay coils and motors, Cattron recommends that snubbers be placed across the load in order to ensure reliability and long life of the output relay contacts. Figure 15 shows the relay output connections for the 22R08A Receivers. Note that Relays K1 through K4 provide form C (SPDT) outputs. Relays K5 through K8 provide form A (SPST) outputs and share a common bus. COM refers to the input voltage placed across all relays. 6.7.3 22R08A Installation Testing Before putting the system into service, perform the following testing procedure:
1. Apply the appropriate power to the receiver (12-24 VDC or 120 VAC). 2. Verify that the POWER (DS3) LED turns ON. Refer to Figure 14. 3. Turn the transmitter to ON. 4. Verify that the Signal (DS1) LED flashes. 5. Verify that pressing any function switch on the transmitter lights the corresponding relay on the receiver and the Relay (DS2) LED.

Functional Description 4.1 Overview 4.1.1 IR LRM2 Radio
. Figure 4.1 IR LRM2 Design The Silicon Labs ERF32FG13 SoC is located between the host interface and the RF interface, providing decoupling between host and RF interface. The EFR32FG13 SoC has sufficient buffer space for one telegram. As shown later, telegram processing is defined to minimize delays, so to provide a transparent-like behavior. Sub-GHz will support different frequency bands to support different regions & supported frequency bands are mentioned below:

433MHz 460MHz 868MHz 915MHz 4.1.2 Data Communication Model & Definitions The communication model defines some of the terminology used in the rest of this document. IR LRM2 Radio Module Document p/n: 9S02-9027-A001 Rev.A Functional Description Figure 4.2 - Data communication model
- The IR LRM2 Radio Module is used to communicate telegrams between hosts. In Unity context, hosts are OCU and MCU CPU boards. The IR LRM2 has two interfaces: a Host Interface and a RF Interface.
- Transmit and Received Telegrams are relayed through the IR LRM2 Host Data Buffer. This buffer is capable to hold only one telegram at a time. The purpose of this buffer is to relax host timings requirements, and to allow decoupling between Host Interface and RF Interface data rates.
- Telegrams sent/received on the Host Interface and RF interface are encapsulated into frames to improve
- The IR LRM2 does not perform any processing on the telegrams content; it controls only the frames synchronization. overhead. 4.2 Telegram Transmission Transmit frames have two fields:
- Telegram length (number of bytes). The length is used by the CPU to control the transmission process.
- Telegram (maximum 254 bytes). The content of the telegram is defined by the application. For Unity application, this is the Unity Telegram beginning with the Scrambling byte, the TID and terminated with the 16bits CRC, as defined in ref [2]. Figure 4.3 - Transmit Telegram frame format 4.3 Telegram Reception Each RF packet received by the LRM2 is sent to the host interface, followed by its RSSI. Also, in order to ensure receive telegram frame synchronization (i.e. unambiguous detection of the start of the frame), the frame is encapsulated according to SLIP framing. SLIP framing is very simple to decode. It is described in section Error!
Reference source not found.. Receive frame fields are:
SOF (Start-of-Frame character). This is part of SLIP encapsulation.
- Length of the Telegram field (number of bytes), not counting RSSI fields and any additional control characters introduced for SLIP encapsulation.
- Telegram (maximum 254 bytes). The content of the telegram is defined by the application.

- All parameters can be read and written only in CONFIG mode. The definition of the configuration registers is given in reference [3]. This section addresses the basic description of all these three methods. 5.1 Console Interface The Sub-GHz serial interface configuration port is enabled by asserting !CONFIG signal; the serial interface is automatically reconfigured in asynchronous mode, running at 38400bps, 8N1. All ASCII strings received are interpreted as configuration commands. This mode is particularly useful for stand-alone testing, when the unit can be controlled from a PC or by an operator/tester using a terminal emulation program. 5.1.1 Write command wrCmd register value , where:
wrCmd = write command. w or wr can be used and are equivalent register = register identification. Can use the register name or register address value = value to be written, in decimal or hexadecimal format. Hexadecimal values are preceded by 0x 5.1.2 Read command rdCmd reg where:
rdCmd= read command. r or rd can be used and are equivalent reg
= register identification. Can use the register name or register address 5.1.3 Help command helpCmd where:
helpCmd= help command. h, help or ? can be used and are equivalent. The IR LRM2 responds with the list off all available configuration registers. 5.2 Stand-Alone Test Mode The IR LRM2 can be operated in stand-alone mode for production/service tests. In this case, only a 3.3VDC supply is needed, and a RS232/TTL transceiver (like Cattron FLASHBOX) to connect to a PC serial port. 5. IR LRM2 Radio Module Document p/n: 9S02-9027-A001 Rev.A IR LRM2 Configuration Concept Figure 5.1 - LRM2 connection for stand-alone operation The IR LRM2 will support several built-in test modes to ease testing from a PC. For example a. Sub-GHz Transmission Tests
- Generation of different type of carrier: unmodulated (CW), or modulated with 101010.. or pseudo-random sequence
- Automatic generation of test RF frames with predefined content b. Sub-GHz Reception Tests
- Measure PER (packet error rate) when receiving the predefined test RF frames
- Measure RF input level c. Bluetooth Tests
- By using Silicon Labs application, Wireless Gecko, the Bluetooth channel, transmit power level, data speed could be adjusted. 3.3VDC RS232 RS232 - TTL transceiver
(ex: Cattron FLASHBOX) PC, running automated test program, or ANSI terminal emulation software
